* MoralEventHorizon: Granny Weaver is only one of many monsters in Oakmont but she loses any and all possible justification when you find out she murdered Joy Hayden's ''dog'' and sewed it into a teddy bear. The psychological torture and evil she engages in we find that she also did to her own daughters is enough to make every player wnat to put her down.

Misplaced, moving to the correct tab

Added DiffLines:

* BrokenAesop: Much of the game deals with the evils of racism (the KKK are sidequest villains) and the plight of the Innsmouth refugees. Every figure who engages in xenophobia is treated with disgust and Reed's dialogue always makes his low opinion of xenophobes clear. However, the Innsmouthers are followers of a ReligionOfEvil and heavily involved in the city's organized crime. Given the Deep Ones are historically villains in Cthulhu Mythos fiction, it also will confuse longtime fans of the setting. The Esoteric Order of Dagon is established as the "real" evil among the Innsmouthers but almost all of them are involved with it or at least sympathetic. It doesn't help that no matter how nice Reed is to the Innsmouthers, they ''will'' attempt to kill him multiple times.

** The animations and character models are very unnatural. To be fair, Frogware is not on of the biggest companies out there so they were bound to miss something. If anything, it adds a bit to how ''off'' everything else is.

* PortingDisaster: An odd example as the Steam version of the game was put up by Nacon cracking the code of Frogware without the latter's permission. It is thus subject to a large number of lawsuits and legal challenges.

** With ''itself.'' Nanco and Frogware's dueling ownership claims have resulted in the former putting the game up on steam while the Playstation 5 version is done by Frogware exclusively. The others have shared interests that have been sued over.

** The game also has numerous parallels with Dontnod Entertainment's ''VideoGame/{{Vampyr}}'', which came out several months earlier, both being horror-themed open-world games with RPGElements featuring a mix of story, investigation, and combat in a dark supernaturally plagued turn-of-the-century city.

They even have similarly named protagonists (Mr. Reed and Dr. Reid).
