YMMV / Anonymous Agony

• Bile Fascination: The gameplay is almost nonexistent with more focus being put on the story, which itself is basically an edgelord's bizzarely-written fanfiction given form. For a lot of people, that is the main draw of the game.
• Designated Hero: The biggest criticism of the game was the fact that Haze is a terrible person who treats many people around him like shit and acts like an internet edgelord for absolutely no reason. The story still tries to show you he is just a normal guy who wants to brutally slaughter terrible people (pedophiles specifically) but it’s still hard to find him likable because of how he acts.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Gianni Matragrano plays Gabriel Romero in File 1, a man who believes he's the reincarnation of Jesus. One year later after File 1's release, Gianni ends up playing yet another Gabriel, who not only has a holy motif, but is the Archangel Gabriel and is one of the roles he's most known for.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • YE YE YE ^Explanation The first few words of a song called "Playback" by Nieve. About 80% of the game uses it, so it wormed its way into the players' heads.
  • YOU BETTER CHECK YO EXO SKELLO TEEN ^Explanation Another line from that song.
  • Ouch dad, isn't it society's fault I'm the way that I am? ^Explanation One of Haze's lines to his father, mocked as typical edgy gamer speak and for its relation to other "society" memes.
  • Stop being such an ass Haze! ^Explanation Clara keeps calling Haze an ass. Her high voice and young age make it rather funny.
  • Smoothie time. ^Explanation Craig's line after receiving a blender from Haze.
  • Haze is literally me. ^Explanation Haze is the logical conclusion of a Troubled Teen as an adventure game protagonist. Many people used this line ironically to point out how Haze's personality and worldview weren't too different from their own at his age.
• Obvious Beta: It's easy to see the game as unfinished. If you don't delete at least some messages from your phone, you'll suddenly find yourself softlocked after a certain point. During the first night, the game falls apart if you take a wrong turn, with the time of day, sprites, and tiles changing at random. One NPC crashes the game when spoken to. Items bought from the shop do not work. And one of the sidequests will crash your game if done improperly.
• Signature Scene: Smoothie time. Not just because of the severe Mood Whiplash between it and the previous scene, but because of the content of the scene itself.
• So Bad, It's Good: Many people enjoy the game because of how laughably stupid it can be most of the times, but also how much effort was put in despite the quality, such as the voice acting.
• Took the Bad Film Seriously: Despite the quality of the writing and questionable subject matter, one of the highlights and praises of the game is that the voice actors genuinely did a great job with the script, and did what they could to at least make it enjoyable. Matt Shipman as Haze in particular does what he can to make Haze as likeable as he can, which is quite a task given Haze is basically his troubled creator's edgy wish fulfillment.
