* ArtificialStupidity: The enemies lack any form of AI scripting beyond "run straight towards Meg and attack her repeatedly", often resulting in them getting stuck on bits of scenery and flailing uselessly at the air, giving you ample opportunity to fill them with bullets.

!!This game provides examples of:
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Instead of her usual StringyHairedGhostGirl appearance, Sadako appears how she presumably did when she was alive, with brown hair and an intricate kimono.
