History YMMV / AliceIsntDead

* NarmCharm: During “Go Home Again”, the narrator describes various sounds [[spoiler: the Thistle Men make while they’re in her house. She actually verbalizes them, and they’re fairly silly noises like “whoop” and “yip”. But because of what we know about the Thistle Men, how dangerous they are, and the fact the Narrator is hearing the noises in extremely vulberable times (like the middle of the night and when she’s taking a shower), ]] it works incredibly well.

* ParanoiaFuel: In Episode 3 "Nothing to See", the Narrator keeps thinking she hears someone in the trailer but when she checks there is nothing. [[spoiler:that is until she stops discovers that it was the Thistle Man the whole time]].

--> ''"I followed Keisha here. She doesn't know that, of course... I'm not hiding. Keisha walked right past me- didn't know who I was, why would she? If Alice was here, maybe Alice could warn her. But of course, Alice ''isn't'' here. I am."''

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Keisha's love for Alice is apparent throughout the first two seasons, but the fact that Alice wouldn't say a single word about where she was or what she was doing (or even why she was doing it) can get on peoples nerves- to the point that fans wondered why Keisha would even let Alice into her truck. Alice finally spills the whole story behind her disappearance to Keisha in Part 3, Chapter 2, and to the audience in the following chapter.

** The mysterious [[CardCarryingVillain Police Woman]], also known as [[spoiler:[[BigBad Thistle]]]], is a relentless hunter who hounds [[TheNarrator Keisha]] across the US to murder her for getting too close to the secrets of the [[HumanoidAbomination Thistle Men]] and Bay & Creek Shipping. Along the way, the Police Woman leaves a trail of bloodshed and destruction, killing multiple people to take their vehicles, with Keisha stumbling upon her gruesome [[CopKiller murder of a cop]] at one point. Upon capturing Keisha, the Police Woman reveals herself as a monstrous sadist who tries to force Keisha to "understand" everything, just so she can take cruel pleasure in her despair before killing her. Even after her [[spoiler:supposed death, Thistle awakens later and reveals she is the one who creates the cannibalistic Thistle Men and sets them on the world to watch the carnage, gleeful about the murders and chaos she will continue to sow]].

* ToughActToFollow: Given that its parent show is easily the most popular serial podcast out there, this was a natural reaction, though it seems assuaged after the release of the first episode, with fans being impressed by its growing story and characters. It's been described by some as returning to the original feel of ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' before the ContinuityLockout got too bad.

* IdiotBall: The Thistle men [[spoiler: and Bay & Creek Shipping]] decide to hunt the Narrator down when she no longer poses a threat more than once. First in "Go Home Again," then [[spoiler: they send the not-policewoman after Keisha when she's bought into the whole "Bay & Creek are the good guys" guise. Sure Keisha kept digging, but the radio implies the woman started hunting her before then. Seeing as the entire point of the "two sides" con is to trick people into not looking too closely into the Thistle Men's affairs, one would think they'd let the con do it's job with Keisha.]]

* ParanoiaFuel: In Episode 3- Nothing to See the Narrator keeps thinking she hears someone in the trailer but when she checks there is nothing. [[spoiler:that is until she stops discovers that it was the Thistle Man the whole time]].

Alice finally spills the whole story behind her disappearance to Keisha in Part 3, Chapter 2... but the audience doesn't get to hear a single word of it.

** In Episode 20 - [[spoiler:Your government has orchestrated a pretend war between two monstrously powerful sides, and they don't care if you die. Neither do your loved ones. ]]

* BrokenBase: The content warning at the start of episode three. A heads-up for more sensitive fans, or unnecessary and potentially spoileriffic? Alternatively, does its brief and blunt nature make the rest of the episode ''more'' tense and scary, while also fulfilling its purpose as a warning?
->''Quick warning: This episode contains a fairly intense description of being physically attacked.''

* BrokenBase: The trigger warning at the start of episode three. A warning for more sensitive fans, or unnecessary and potentially spoileriffic?

* HellIsThatNoise: Present in nearly ever scene featuring the Thistle Man. First, the disgusting slobbering noises he makes when eating the omelette, but then the [[spoiler: buzzing when he pacifies an innocent bystander, culminating in more grotesque noises when he eats him, too.]]
