Narm is for specific moments only, "the artstyle is too cartoonish" is too general.


* {{Narm}}: Many scenes are hard to take seriously with the cartoonish artstyle. Keep in mind that this series also gets very dark, involving things such as murder, cannibalism, and generally ruining people's lives. All with blocky bodies and items.

* UncannyValley:
** The official art for the game shown on Steam looks like this, with their weird blocky bodies and prominent chins.
** Joe's child often looks weird, especially considering their wide eyes stay open and quite creepy when they're lying down in bed.

** The player's best friend fits into this category quite well. He's unreliable, gets the player into trouble, and [[spoiler:his death ends up kickstarting the entire plot.]] Doesn't help that even Joe doesn't really care about [[spoiler:his death after it happens and doesn't bring up his best friend much.]] As a result, the best friend's wife also fits here by being connected to him.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** The player's family can be this, considering that they're quite clingy and always need Joe around, even when he already spends enough time with them as is. It can be hard to keep their happiness meters filled, especially when the player is trying to focus on money.
