The game acts as a sort of prequel to the second chapter of ''VideoGame/AndysAppleFarm'' and is therefor a lot creepier than it appears at first. Aside from the frequent glitches disrupting the nostalgic {{Retraux}}, you can also find characters that aren't supposed to be here as well as secrets within the game that hint at something incredibly sinister going on behind the scenes.

* HeroesPreferSwords: Rory wields a sword, as is fitting for a heroic knight.


Added DiffLines:

* MoonRabbit: Downplayed. Rory can collect half-moon looking disc that he can use as projectiles against enemies and his sword slash is in the shape of a half-moon. The Infected Knight wields a scythe with a half-moon like blade and uses half-moon shaped projectiles as well.


Added DiffLines:

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: Jeffrey took Isabella in after the gruesome death of her father and mother and tried to save her from the Entity. The Entity used Isabella as a conduit to murder Jeffrey and it's implied it trapped Jeffrey in ''Apple Acres'' afterwards.]]

Added DiffLines:

* NintendoHard: This game is absolutely ''brutal'', with incredibly frustrating enemy placement, tricky platforming and a ludicrous hitbox for Rory that detects damage when you're as much as one step away from an enemy. The fight against the Infected Knight is the cherry on top, with him spamming a nigh undodgeable spin attack that hits like a truck, chucking projectiles at you from the air ''and'' summoning Blue Mushrooms randomly that wander across the stage.
* NoEnding: If you actually manage to defeat the Infected Knight [[spoiler: the game glitches out and an error message appears on screen, asking you to restart the game.]]

* OutsideContextProblem: A character like [[spoiler Peter the Pumpkin]] really has no business being in this game. Add to that that his appearance follows Rory going out of bounds and leads right into a chase sequence when previously the game did not have a mechanic like this and it's clear that something is wrong here.
