History YMMV / ChzoMythos

** The harpsichord theme in ''Trilby's Notes''. The theme is repeated at the climax of ''6 Days A Sacrifice'', [[spoiler:as Theo walks through [=Defoe=] Manor, collecting the items that belong to the welder.]]

** The harpsichord theme in ''Trilby's Notes''. The theme is repeated at the climax of ''6 Days a Sacrifice'', [[spoiler:as Theo walks through [=Defoe=] Manor, collecting the items that belong to the welder.]]
** The theme at the beginning and ending of ''5 Days a Stranger'', as well as the theme at the start of ''7 Days a Skeptic''. Both taken from [=RPGMaker=] 2000 they may well be, but that doesn't make them any less awesome or appropriate for the games.
** The introductory theme in ''7 Days a Skeptic'' is a MIDI version of One Man's Dream by Yanni.

** [[spoiler: And before that, Taylor's room in ''7 Days''. When you finally get in, it turns out he's been butchering the crew and stitching the parts together into a new body for John [=DeFoe=]. The "leftovers" are everywhere, ''including the Serena's severed head, still wearing her glasses, lying on a table.'']]

* SoBadItsGood: Not the games themselves, but the LetsPlay of the Mythos had various challenges and mini-contests between some of the episodes. One was to find the worst fan-made work for the series. Yahtzee himself participated, having found a [[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=139156953244474277# community college made film based on 5 Days A Stranger.]] It's about as cheesy and poorly acted as you'd expect, they can't pronounce "Trilby" correctly, for one thing.

** Yahtzee implies in ''6 Days'' that ''7 Days'' [[spoiler:was actually Malcolm's version of the events, and that ''he'' was possessed by the Welder and killed the whole crew.]] He neither confirms nor denies it in the commentary.

* IdiotPlot: Most the the story wouldn't really work if the characters behaved rationally and worked towards their predefined goals. This is especially true in 7 Days, where no one really knows how to do their job, and the ship itself seems to have been constructed by morons. A breakdown of what characters were supposed to be doing, and how they failed, is available [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Chzo/Update%2038/ here]].

*** The introductory theme in ''7 Days a Skeptic'' is a MIDI version of One Man's Dream by Yanni.
*** "The Welder," a midi remix of Black Celebration by Music/DepecheMode, which plays throughout the climax of ''7 Days.''

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In ''5 Days'', Trilby tricks Simone into believing that he's mentally ill and racked with guilt, wanting her to give him back his tie so that he can hang himself with it. While it's all a ruse [[spoiler: and the reason he wants his tie back is because he hid his emergency lockpick inside it]], his monologue is actually quite frightening, with lines such as "most evenings I cry until I vomit, several times". Flash forward to ''Trilby's Notes'', and he is actually a physical and mental wreck from his experiences in [=DeFoe=] Manor.

* NauseaFuel: The alternate hotel in a LayeredWorld. [[spoiler: It's covered with blood and gruesome corpses dismembered beyond recognition]], one of the worst being [[spoiler: bloody handprints being found on the inside of an oven]]. However, it gets worse when [[spoiler: after playing for a while, you notice that most of the guests and staff, including the clerk, have vanished from the normal hotel, and the blood and gore spread across the alternate hotel seems rather...''fresh''. WordOfGod states that the alternate hotel is indeed an alternate dimension, and the rest of "our world's" staff just wasn't captured by The Tall Man... that's AllThereInTheManual.]]

*** [[spoiler:And all of that is still nothing compared to the horrors the main character in The Expedition experiences, when he gets trapped in the body of Chzo.]]

* SoBadItsGood: No, don't worry, not the games themselves. The LetsPlay of the Mythos had various challenges and mini-contests between some of the episodes. One was to find the worst fan-made work for the series. Yahtzee himself participated, having found a [[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=139156953244474277# community college made film based on 5 Days A Stranger.]] It's about as cheesy and poorly acted as you'd expect, they can't pronounce "Trilby" correctly, for one thing.

* HilariousInHindsight: A character in ''7 Days'' just WANTS TO GO TO [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} SPAAAAAAACCCCEEEEEEE]]
** The villain stalking you in ''Trilby's Notes'' is a tall, thin man in a suit who wears a blank white mask. His name is The Tall Man. [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Sound familiar?]]
*** [[OlderThanTheyThink Slendy was in part inspired by the old tall man myths who predated the games.]]
