  • Awesome Music: Despite just about everything going against the game, most agree that the soundtrack, composed by Fitzner himself, is pretty sweet.
  • Complete Monster: Reverend Aaron Crowley, believing himself to be the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley, is the leader of The Fallen, a Satanic cult which seeks to wipe out humanity with the Fourth Horseman and unleash a new era of chaos. Wanted by the FBI on multiple accounts of murder, rape, and occultism, Crowley brainwashes thousands of people within the FBI and national guard to do his bidding, while invading the minds of people close to heroine Angela "Angie" Prophet and driving them insane, even killing her friend Father Malloy just to spite her. Stealing the Fourth Horseman, Crowley unleashes it upon Washington D.C., creating widespread panic and death amongst the masses.
  • Narm:
    • Angie's scream whenever she falls sound more like she's bored than terrified.
    • A lot of the voice acting comes across as really goofy, especially Dr. Lindstroem's cartoony lisp.
  • Nightmare Retardant: Crowley's presented as if he's some kind of sinister threat, but his laughable voice acting and the fact that he's so easily defeated makes him more of a joke.
  • Obvious Beta: To even call it a beta would be generous. Everything about the game is incomplete, from its clunky gameplay, to chunks of the story, to the dated graphics and horrendously cheap-looking, stilted cutscenes. Worse, several glitches depending on the disc can result in the game being impossible to complete, from numerous crashes to even the anti-piracy program preventing even purchased copies from being winnable due to an error in the code.
  • Padding: A lot of the earlier parts of the game involve Angie finding random people, only to tell her that she has to look elsewhere for information.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: On paper, Psychotoxic's story and concepts sound very fascinating. But in practice...
