History NightmareFuel / Holdover

* The main reason why Marie was in the laboratory to begin with? She was in a big accident that threatened her life and put her in a coma. ''[[AdultFear At the very young age of five.]]'' Her father, Tanner, had to install computer anklets on her to repair her organs, and then seal her in a capsule for ''ten years'' to protect her [[spoiler:while the laboratory was under attack from a nuclear world war.]] We never find out about the accident that damaged Marie so severely, but it may be hard to think about the implications if it had to take a whole decade to bring her body back to a stable, albeit numb, condition.

** You can also occasionally find spots that leave Marie [[DrowningPit trapped underwater where she can't get out]] (such as what's shown in the page image. [[spoiler:That is, until you first find the arm upgrade [[UnwinnableByMistake very close to that area that allows her to climb out of there]]]]). In that case, the player is ForcedToWatch as Marie suffocates and drowns. [[SaveScumming Hope you saved.]]

* If Marie's OxygenMeter gets too low, she'll start drowning. As in... [[TruthInTelevision realistically drowning]]. She'll cover her mouth and nose struggling to hold her breath, and she'll also move at a slower pace as she loses consciousness. If the meter reaches zero, well... [[HiddenEyes just look at the page image]]. Consider it mercy that the game doesn't provide Marie with a voice actress; she would've made her realistically-graphic drowning feel and sound ''even worse'' (something that was already shown with [[VideoGame/AquaCube Yuu & Aya]], but also shown more fearfully later on with the likes of [[VideoGame/SacrificeGirl Miyo]], [[VideoGame/BlueGuardianMargaret Margaret]], and [[VideoGame/NaticaStarSplash Natica]]).

* The other dangers in the game don't treat Marie any better than drowning does, either. Whenever she dies from the security lasers and spikes that are scattered throughout the game, ''she splats out blood''. The game keeps track of this, and leaves every blood splat you made in every spot she died from these hazards for the rest of the game, even after reloading a save or starting the game all over again. This means that [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential you get to see and remember]] [[YouBastard all of those spots you let the poor girl die in this way]], [[ParanoiaFuel even after not playing the game for a long time]]. Besides toggling off any cases of blood at the game's title screen, the only way to completely erase all of the blood splats you made is to completely remove the game from your computer.

''VideoGame/{{Holdover}}'' is Creator/FoxEye’s first DarkerAndEdgier game, and it ''shows.''

* As a part of the page image shows, there are piles of bones scattered throughout the game that you'll have Marie step over on your way through the facility. There are ''a lot'' of bones, both on land and underwater. It seems like Marie wasn't the only person that tried to escape from the facility, but by the time she wakes up, ''she's the only one left to still be alive''. Take care not to let Marie die, [[FridgeHorror lest she becomes another example of all of the bones she passes by...]]
