** The repetition of the limited amount of voiced lines characters have can become this if something plays that directly contradicts what's currently happening, leading to possible funny gaffs like Andrey worriedly asking about how his brother is doing... while Peter is standing right next to him.

Misplaced, moving to the correct tab

Added DiffLines:

* ObviousBeta: Definitely. The game's innovative and well-written story and atmosphere are often marred by the rather clunky and buggy engine. There are quite a few annoying bugs that can mess up the gameplay or disrupt its otherwise highly immersive atmosphere. And the wobbly and seemingly rushed English translation and dub needlessly add to the already existing issues. The HD remake released in 2015 has correct (well, more correct than before; "Simon is a sorcerer?" is still there) English translations and improved graphics.

Not ymmv


* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: The opinion of many who don't get the story. This may be a side effect of the BlindIdiotTranslation of the original release.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: It's said that Dankoski was a head of the crew of the Thanatica Laboratory, whose goal was actually cheating Death, and the Laboratory was closed by the Authorities and Professor Tehlmann. Despite having so little information on it, Thanatica is a frequent object of fanart and WMG.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[EvilCripple Var the Hunchback]], the foster father of Willow Mellow, stands out among the citizens of the disease-stricken town as an obsessive maniac with no limits to his actions. A [[WouldHurtAChild former member]] of the Ace of Diamonds Caravan who escaped the purges of the Powers That Be, Var [[ParentalIncest lusts for his own adopted daughter]]--whom he kidnapped and raised to be an exotic dancer--and murdered her biological father when he tried to rescue her. Var responds to Willow's death by organizing a mob of arsonists to burn every single infected person in their path, eventually attempting to destroy the Termitary with all of the five thousand workers still inside.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: This is a game where a plague erupts but the people with the power to stop it refuse to do so because of their own agendas, ensuring that the plague would spread. It could've been a commentary on COVID-19, had it been released around a decade later.

Added DiffLines:

* BetterAsALetsPlay: The game is almost as infamous for its absurd difficulty curve as it is for its narrative complexity, meaning that a lot of players are scared off early on. According to Steam achievements, around fifteen percent of players make it past the first day, in a game that takes place over eleven days. For three characters. As a result, most fans of the game either experienced it through a Let's Play or one of the many video essays that help better explain the game's obtuse survival mechanics and difficult-to-follow story.

COVID shoehorn.


* HarsherInHindsight: The game about mysterious pandemic nobody knows how to deal with, which deadliness is accelerated by incompetency, obstructive bureaucracy and ongoing political infightings, strikes much more differently after [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic certain events of early 2020s]].

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: As dark as the game's tone is otherwise, there are still a few of these slipped in, mostly when the characters are [[LampshadeHanging poking fun at the game itself]]. For instance, when Daniil has his first encounter with a Tragedian and an Executor, the latter has a line complaining about how they actually can't see a thing in their costume.
