* ButThouMust: To complete the first act of the game, you ''need'' the keypad codes that goons keep exposing to let Eddie out of the basement. Refusing or failing to do this is an automatic game over at the end of the act if you miss so much as one digit of four. [[spoiler: But then [[NiceJobBreakingItHero you let Eddie out]] and it turns out he's the real BigBad that stirs the rest of the plot. You have no way of preventing this whatsoever and must do so every playthrough.]]

** Meanwhile, Act 2 immediately flips this around by forcing you to have to watch Lyle [[spoiler: not to trap him, but instead witness him setting up secret traps to use against Eddie]] and figuring out that the mysterious trap-activating Mummy needs to be countered, as well as figuring out that Eddie [[spoiler: is trying to antagonize the cast and needs to be trapped at every possible opportunity.]] The game doesn't explain any of this, naturally - you just have to get a few game overs to figure out how it works.

It's not so much a mythology gag as it is a creator in-joke.
* CreatorInJoke: When Eddie's mother (played by [[Music/{{Blondie}} Deborah Harry]]) meets the talent scout who comes to audition the band:
-->I'm a singer! Torch songs, mostly.

* BossRush: Slightly subverted, as there's only one last enemy to face in the final act, [[spoiler:Eddie]]. [[spoiler:First off, you have to head to the basement to save Lyle from being trapped with the conveyor belt. Then, you head to Alex's room to save her and push Eddie into the now-electrified chair trap. You then go to the Grads room to protect Phoebe and the statue, and trap Eddie with the hands trap. Then, you go to the band room and trap him with the cage trap, and finally, get him with the basket trap in Brutus' room to finish the game off. Screw up at any point, and after a huge scolding from Lyle, you start back at the beginning of the act.]]

* GuideDangIt: If you think it's possible to beat all three acts of this game first time in, you're dead wrong. Like ''VideoGame/NightTrap'', the intruders appear at random times, and there are events where you have to rescue a character, but unlike the aforementioned, you also have to look out for code numbers in Act 1, watch for special traps to unlock in Act 2, and disarm the traps set by a serial killer in the same act. So, yeah. It's impossible to beat this game first time in.

You play as an anonymous Internet user whose device suddenly gains access to the security system of the Edward Arms, a old Egyptian-themed American hotel. A young man named Eddie introduces himself as the creator of the system, as well as the architect of an extensive array of booby traps designed to capture intruders. However, Eddie has been locked in the basement and cut off from the controls, so it falls to you to take over the Edward Arms' cameras and traps, and protect the guests from a stream of invaders searching the hotel for ''something.''

* BattleDiscretionShot: Perhaps as a response to the public backlash against ''VideoGame/NightTrap'', the game avoids showing any violence against civilian characters, usually cutting away just as they are hustled off-screen by an enemy. One character is choked to death by having his shoulders lightly squeezed. And the traps themselves are played more for {{Slapstick}} than grievous bodily harm.

The gameplay improves from ''VideoGame/NightTrap'' in a few ways: there is a mini-map displaying where the guests and intruders are, removing the need to constantly switch between cameras; the trap timing and visual/audio cues are more lenient; and some enemies can use the traps ''against'' you, meaning that you have to disarm as well as arm traps.
