Michigan: Report From Hell/YMMV


  • Anticlimax Boss: The "final boss" and apparent source of the outbreak turns out to be a spastic, mentally challenged man who simply runs back and forth flailing his arms while you shoot him to death. You know this is a Suda 51 game when they use a Non Sequitur Scene for the final fight.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: If the paradigmata LP walkthroughs are to be considered, Justine is this, mainly for having marginally better voice acting, as well as consistently being smarter than Ann and Carly during her reports.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Anne prodding you to keep filming Becky's death rather than helping may be hers.
  • Narm: The English voice acting makes many of the game's attempts at horror impossible to take seriously.

OWCH! THAT HURT! Pleeeaaase don't kiiiil meeeeeeee... but i gueees yooou haaave toooo... but..."

    • When you're at the end of the Hotel level, Pamela comes back, but turns out to be a Zombie thing, they knock her down, she doesn't get back up, she uses her legs to drag the body toward you. Might be scarier later on, but...
  • One-Scene Wonder: The only appearance of Patient Zero and the "final boss" is at the very end of the game, but is particularly memorable for his spectacularly bad voice acting even amongst an entire cast of bad voice actors.
  • The Scrappy: Ann and Brisco.
  • So Bad It's Good: Seriously. The voice acting is so horrific that it becomes over-the-top hilarious in its most dramatic moments.
  • So Okay, It's Average: The original Japanese version. It's not particularly famous, it didn't spawn any sequels, and a lot of the plot borrows pretty heavily from older horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Still, it has decently interesting gameplay, a minor following of Japanese Let's Players, and, unlike the English version, the voice acting is good enough to take the horror seriously.
  • Squick: One of the ways that characters out themselves as zombie infectees is by vomiting up enormous slugs before transforming. Ick.
  • They Just Didn't Care: At one point, you can have either one of three reporters. Each of them mention having a pet... Pets that all share the same name.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: People actually liked the unique gameplay, where you're in a horror Mockumentary-esque situation. They just didn't like the lazy script and voice acting.
  • Took the Bad Film Seriously: Mr. Hennings has one of the best voices in the game, odd, considering the rest of the B-Movie elements.
