History VideoGame / TheHeilwaldLoophole

* VoiceGrunting: All of the characters' dialogue is accompanied by this.

* MadeOfIron: The player can get electrocuted, PunchedAcrossTheRoom, forced through the floor, stabbed with a syringe, and can eat the most vile soup the world was cursed with and still be perfectly fine at the end of it all. Randolph wasn't kidding when he said nobody would die at Heilwald.

* SpeakingSimlish: All of the characters speak with garbled noises. However, certain members of the staff will shout out coherent English phrases if they catch you either disobeying their instructions or wandering into a part of the facilities that you're not allowed in. The effect is [[HellIsThatNoise off-putting]] to say the least. [[spoiler: When you finally meet whatever the Loophole is proper, they speak entirely in English albeit with a VoiceOfTheLegion and is off-putting in their own right. Nurse Astrid also speaks in English, though it's only barely audible due to the heavy noise filter over her voice.]]

** Nurse Anne use to help patients feel at ease by making them laugh but now she runs electroshock therapy with a [[SlasherSmile manic grin]] on her face whilst occasionally shocking herself.

* NoNameGiven: The protagonist's name is never said in the game, but Wolfram mentions their name not being on his list, implying that the protagonist has mentioned their name but that the player is unable to hear it. [[spoiler: Nurse Astrid does say "Hello, Joseph" when she catches up to you, but given her condition it's unclear how lucid she is.]]

* NoNameGiven: The protagonist's name is never said in the game, but Wolfram mentions their name not being on his list, implying that the protagonist has mentioned their name but that the player is unable to hear it.

** In order to access the library, you need to let Dr. Hauser catch you while you're in the attic, as the resulting altercation will lead you to falling through the floor to where the library has been sealed off.

** The only way to leave the sick ward initially is to let Nurse Heidetraut catch you. Being caught with the crowbar will cause her to send you to the electro-shock ward, where the player can get the keycard required to escape the sick ward and gain access to the courtyard.

* ViolationOfCommonSense:

* BodyHorror: Keeping up with Heilwald Klinikum being a certified EldritchLocation, certain characters have gone through this. The patients all look like walking corpses and the Neglected Patient looks as if he should not even be alive. Nurse Heidetraut seems to have had her head grossly stretched forward not unlike a **Xenomorph**, and Sauer is trapped inside a large stew pot boiling himself alive. For extra horror, it's revealed Sauer is serving his own boiled flesh as soup. [[spoiler: Nurse Astrid may be one of the worst victims. When you find her, she seems to just be an arm and two legs sticking out of an iron lung on wheels. Perhaps it is best not to see what the rest of her looks like...]]
