History YMMV / SongOfHorror

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Rene Artigas, the Caribbean cop is very popular due to his over-the-top French accent and extremely flamboyant way he speaks makes him unintentionally hilarious. The fact that he is the only character to own a weapon (despite being quite useless) doesn't help. Just ask [[Characters/NijisanjiENLazuLight Finana]] on what she thinks of him.

---> I know these scrolls: they're medieval charters. I guess some of Sophie's knowledge rubbed off on me... Plus, it says it right there.
** One of the deaths involves sliding off a rooftop. No presence, no monsters, just falling out of a window.

* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler:The whole game is spent running after Ariadne's music box, but there is still Elaine's. Just in case players forgot there was no escape from the Song once someone's heard it.]]

** NarmCharm: Then again, some folks like the jankyness, and no character is as popular as Rene, the Caribbean police officer with a ''very'' [[Main/AgentPeacock flamboyant way of talking,]] bordering on the hilarious.

* ParanoiaFuel: The Presence is everywhere, in every shadow, behind every door, in every mirror. The game is set in a way that enemies and encounters with the Presence are pretty much random. You will never know if that room containing a prompt to hide will actually have the Presence in here, and you will want to listen to every door after your first death at the hands of a Revenant. You will never be comfortable anywhere in the game because either the Presence will approach, or it will try to break through a door, or it may suddenly grab you while you're walking in a room you thought was safe.

* ThatOneLevel: The storage corridor hallway at the very end of episode 2. You have to navigate a maze while being chased by the presence and the only way you can find room to hide in is by constantly spraying the area with luminol that your UV lamp can detect.
* ThatOnePuzzle: The picture puzzle at the beginning of episode 5. You have to put it together in order. Sounds simple, right? The problem is, you've got to be very precise, as you can't put the pieces too close to each other, and it doesn't tell you if you got it right or not.

* Narm: Some of the voice acting can be a bit off putting and the jank facial animations may resemble something out of [[VideoGame/GarrysMod GMod]], which can completely ruin the immersive atmosphere the game is trying to create.

* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler:There was a second music box. Just in case players forgot there was no escape from the Song once someone's heard it.]]

* ScrappyMechanic: The "The Silence" minigame. You have to stay quiet by keeping a circumference (the radius of which you control) aligned with a circle that constantly changes size. The problems are that '''a)''' the circumference is the same white hue as the circle, so it's hard to tell where it is if you let it grow too small; '''b)''' the circle's size changes are completely random and unpredictable, and finally '''c)''' the game gives you next to no time to realign if, for example, the circle goes from fully expanded to a tiny pinprick, which it will do frequently. It's a much harder minigame than any of the others, and not very well-liked as a result.

* ThatOneLevel: The storage corridor hallway at the very end of episode 2. You have to navigate a maze while being chased by the presence and the only way you can find room to hide in is by constantly spraying the area with a liquid that your UV lamp can detect.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Daniel reacting to some historical items.
