History VideoGame / DeepFear

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: It's obvious that this game is a rip off of Resident Evil, while not storywise to the Resident Evil series, it has similar gameplay and has a plot that involves a virus that turns people into monsters. (Not a man made virus though, a space virus.)

* {{Badass}}: John Mayor is a classic horror example.

* NoExportForYou: Barely averted. See above.

* [[spoiler: KillEmAll: John, a dolphin, and Rambo the bulldog are the only survivors of the game's events.]]

* {{Badass}}: John Mayors is a classic horror example.

* AnyoneCanDie [[spoiler: ...and almost everyone does. The only survivors are John, a dolphin, and Rambo, Anna's bulldog.]]

''Deep Fear'' is VideoGame/ResidentEvil [-[[RecycledInSpace IN THE OCEAN!]]-] The main feature that sets it apart from Resident Evil is that it has an OxygenMeter that decreases as you move. To complicate matters, certain areas have less air than others, so time is of the essence.

* AprilFoolsPlot: The game starts off with Mookie and Sharon playing a joke on John. [[spoiler: Later, when John informs Clancy of the monsters, he did not believe him at first.]] Also, the entire game takes place during April Fools!

* TrickBomb: John carries around a slew of air grenades with him. When they explode they fill the room with breathable oxygen. And at one point, he gets a fire extinguisher "capsule" that also works like a grenade.

* {{Camp}}: Dubois Amalric. His voice is so flamboyantly gay-sounding, it's hard for it to be anything else.

* {{Expy}}: Anna is one of [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Vasquez]], up to [[spoiler:succumbing to [[VasquezAlwaysDies the trope named after said character]].]]

* [[DeadLittleSister Dead Fiancée]]

* TrickBomb: John carries around a slew of air grenades with him. When they explode they fill the room with breathable oxygen.

''Deep Fear'' is a VideoGame/ResidentEvil knock-off [-[[RecycledInSpace IN THE OCEAN!]]-] The main feature that sets it apart from Resident Evil is that it has an OxygenMeter that decreases as you move. To complicate matters, certain areas have less air than others, so time is of the essence.

* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: The game is set on AprilFoolsDay. This actually leads to a few scenes where John tells people of horrific monster attacks, but they don't believe him because they think it's part of an April Fools' joke.

* {{Expy}}: Anna is one of [[Film/{{Aliens}} Vasquez]], up to [[spoiler:succumbing to [[VasquezAlwaysDies the trope named after said character]].]]

* TransformationTrauma: Victims of the virus go through a pretty painful metamorphosis with random abscesses and growths erupting from various parts of the body, which the game excitedly shows off in the [=CGI=] cutscenes from multiple camera angles. At one point, a victim's [[{{Squick}} fingernails start popping off]] for no real plausible reason other than to disgust the audience.
