* DenserAndWackier: The game is much more lighthearted and campy than the Chzo games. For a change, Yahtzee emulated 60's and 70's spy films instead of Lovecraft.

* CallForward: In the best ending, Trilby decides [[spoiler:to go back to England and start breaking into manors of the recently deceased]], figuring it would be safer. He does this in [[VideoGame/ChzoMythos 5 Days A Stranger]]: [[spoiler:It [[CosmicHorrorStory backfires]] '''[[AndIMustScream horribly]]''']].
