Haunting Ground/YMMV

• Alas, Poor Villain: For all her Ax Craziness and wanting to kill Fiona, it's pretty easy to feel sorry for Daniella when she dies. She only wanted to be complete.
• Crack is Cheaper: If you want to buy a physical copy of this game, don't be surprised if you find yourself paying at least $100 for a complete copy of the game. That's how much its going for online in most cases.
• Draco in Leather Pants: Daniella, Riccardo and young Lorenzo often receive this treatment within the fandom. Never mind the fact all three are trying to harm, and potentially kill, a teenage girl who just lost her family and is being kept prisoner there. Likewise, some fans will invoke Ron the Death Eater on Fiona, or at least be petty and call her a whore and idiot while praising the villains.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Daniella is pretty darn popular with the fandom.
  • Hewie could probably count, for being the main protection against the stalkers and in gameplay-wise, making the game original.
• Les Yay: Depending on whether Girl-on-Girl Is Hot or not, you might be more or less creeped out by Daniella groping Fiona in her sleep.
• Memetic Mutation: It's cleaning time.
  • Let me into your womb!
• Narm: The game's strange tendency to show Fiona's Catapult Nightmare awakening repeated three times from different angles. When it first happens at the beginning of the game it's easy enough to brush aside, but when it happens again within the first half an hour of playing, it just feels silly.
• Nightmare Retardant: The failed homunculi. While they are arguably creepy in their own right, some of them just look (and sound) stupid.
• Squick: Lorenzo's voice. Those weird sucking noises!
• That One Boss: Every boss in the game has to be defeated in a specific manner and it's easy if you know what you're doing. But if you want to get items before you defeat them, things get difficult. But the best example is the last chase with Lorenzo's burning corpse and the damn statue! The part is so hard that the players believe the statue is the real final boss.
• The Woobie: Fiona.
  • Possibly Daniella as well. Riccardo interrogates her about Lorenzo, she's hinted to have been sexually abused, and expresses discontent at being an Artificial Human. Is it any wonder she goes insane?
  • Debilitas too, considering he doesn't really know what he's doing is wrong.
  • Don't forget Hewie!
