* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: One of most common comments from the people who've played the game is that it has a solid story and an incredible atmosphere; but it unfortunately suffers from a lot of GuideDangIt moments. The same people have even said that playing it with a walkthrough doesn't detract ''at all'' from enjoying the story and atmosphere.

* CriticalResearchFailure: When Michael Arthate keeps calling the bank, the employee on the other hand eventually answers the phone with the words that he will call the police if Michael keeps calling. Given the time setting of the game, the employee's phone would not have any Caller ID, making it impossible for him to know that it's Michael calling, although it's possible they could put a trace on the line if he ''keeps'' calling after the police are brought in.
** Although [[spoiler: thalidomide used by pregnant women ''can'' induce physical malformations in a fetus]], they don't actually look anything like [[spoiler: the deformities seen in Robin]]. If the game had portrayed it ''accurately'', [[spoiler: Robin]] would've been a lot less scary and a lot more pitiful.
*** He also spent some time with some feral cats while [[spoiler: locked up in the basement]], and given how one of them acts towards your character in the Last Visit, that can't have helped.
** A newspaper article notes the theft of Euros. Not only is the game set decades before the Euro currency was even created, the United Kingdom never took it over. They always retained Pound Sterling.

* NarmCharm: As terrifying as the ending is, the immediate after shot of [[spoiler:Michael driving away from the manor, makes it look like his reaction was him just saying "NOPE!", which is what many players would do]].
