YMMV / Killing Time

• Awesome Music: The game has a truly kickin' soundtrack that mixes creepy, horror-style tunes with Dixieland and Swing, courtesy of the Toot Sweet Jazz Band. Just check out the closing theme.
• Captain Obvious Reveal: The player doesn't have to be paying very close attention to figure out that Tess Conway's spirit is up to no good and her pleas for your help are just a trick, between her being a rich, hedonistic heiress obsessed with obtaining immortality (a goal usually associated with villainous characters) and the game's artwork and title screen both depicting her with a sinister look on her face. Heck, the back cover art flat-out depicts her as an Evil Overlooker.
• Complete Monster: Tess Conway is a wealthy heiress in Matinicus Isle, Maine, who loves to spend her life having parties and using people, only to toss them aside in the end. Discovering the existence of The Water-Clock of Thoth, with which she planned to become immortal, Tess manipulates everyone around her, even her lover Duncan DeVries, to deliver this artifact to her. Laughing at Duncan's proposal to her, openly admitting to never truly loving him, causing Duncan to kill her in rage, Tess uses her final moments to unleash a curse upon the island, condemning all the people at her party to be slaughtered and then possessed by the demons, as Duncan himself is driven mad and turned into the avatar of Set. Manipulating the protagonist into gathering all her body parts together to resurrect herself, Tess gleefully kills Duncan, before trying to turn the protagonist into one of her undead slaves.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The PC version is superior in almost every way, but most of the redesigned enemies aren't nearly as unique and visually interesting compared to those of the 3DO original (best exemplified with the Monster Clown enemies, who are given a more generic knockoff-Pennywise appearance and no longer do the incredibly creepy "Tickle Time" attack).
