[[folder:The Longest Journey]]
* {{Blooper}}: When April returns home from Arcadia, and [[spoiler: her friend Emma is shot by Holloway]], April mentions in her diary about [[spoiler: both Emma and Zach being killed]], except [[spoiler: Zach's death]] hasn't occurred just yet in the game (it happens just moments later, though)
* CrossRegionalVoiceActing: While most of the cast is American (notably, Creator/JackAngel, Creator/BrianBloom, and Creator/AndreSogliuzzo are in this game), Creator/MarykeHendrikse -- a Canadian, voices Samantha Gilmore and Lucia the Watilla.

[[folder:Dreamfall Chapters]]
* {{Expy}}: The administrator in Ge'en, Sister Alessandra, is seen as one for Josef Mengele.
* LyingCreator: Despite promises that a stealth mechanic wouldn't be present in the game, due to the criticism it received in ''Dreamfall'', stealth sections do appear in Books 2 and 4, though they are a lot simpler and more forgiving compared to the ones in ''Dreamfall''. It is even {{Lampshaded}}, as getting discovered unlocks an achievement named "I thought there wouldn't be stealth!"
* DevelopmentHell: The game was announced in 2007 but wasn't released until 2014. That's longer than it took to deliver the original ''Dreamfall'' after ''The Longest Journey'', except this time, Tørnquist apparently had [[http://web.archive.org/web/20090323072536/http://ragnartornquist.com/?p=578 the whole plot gathering dust for six goddamn years]].
* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: Several collector's editions of ever-increasing size have been offered as Kickstarter incentives, with the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Draic Kin]] Edition definitely taking the cake.
* NeverTrustATrailer: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr1x_jY-Z9I This trailer]] which consists of mostly pre-alpha footage, and an alternate design for Zoe, also features a brief appearance of Benrime (the owner of the tavern "The Journey Man"). Said character never appears in the game, and is only alluded to once when Crow reveals [[spoiler: she's dead.]]
* TheOtherDarrin: Many actors were replaced, barring a few. Most characters from ''The Longest Journey'' keep their original voices. Zoe's change in voice is handwaved as being an after affect from spending so much time in a coma.
* ScheduleSlip: The Final Cut was intended to be released in March 2017, but was released in July after some of this. [[TakeThatUs The Devs have made fun of this in the update]].
* SeriesContinuityError: Lady Alvane's fireplace room, for the most part looks about as it did in ''The Longest Journey''. There is some added detail here and there due to this game being made with a more sophisticated game engine, but there's still some inexcusable changes that are noticeable if one watches Alvane's scenes from the first game, and the ending scene from this game back-to-back. For one thing, in this game, Alvane has openings above the doors so Crow can fly around freely, which were not there in ''The Longest Journey''. The books on her shelf are different from what April originally saw, and Alvane has a cane in the final scene, an accessory she did not have in the first game.
* VoiceOnlyCameo: Zigzagged. In the first episode, April Ryan appears on screen and in voice... but never at the same time, since her on-screen appearance is [[spoiler:during her funeral]], while her voice is heard by Kian while delirious from the wounds he sustained escaping from Friar's Keep.
* WordOfGay: The developers had to confirm Kian was gay in a forum post after some dialogue with Enu brought up the question.

* VoiceOnlyCameo: Zigzagged. In the first episode, April Ryan appears on screen and in voice... but never at the same time, since her on-screen appearance is [[spoiler:during her funeral]], while her voice is heard by Kian while delirious from the wounds he sustained escaping from Friar's Keep. Then, in episode five, April [[spoiler:(or rather, her ghost)]] appears again ''and'' speaks... but it is painfully obvious that she [[TheOtherDarrin isn't voiced by her original voice actress]], Sarah Hamilton, in this appearance.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: During the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDqdNilTCvo Reapmoon's Eve]] portion of the game, Kian can stumble upon a couple having sex.

* NeverTrustATrailer: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr1x_jY-Z9I This trailer]] which consists of mostly pre-alpha footage, and an alternate design for Zoe, also features a brief appearance of Benrime (the owner of the tavern "The Journey Man").
