* ClicheStorm: Slightly, while ''Daymare 1998'' is intended to be a throwback to '90s Survival Horror games such as ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' and ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'', and the game might have ''too'' many aspects from those type of games, thus, might come off as formulaic, the game has more [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism cynical]] and [[DarkerAndEdgier bleak]] story compared to the aforementioned games, [[spoiler: as the game's story ended with everyone practically dead, unlike the aforementioned games which canonically ended with the protagonists surviving the ordeal]].

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: It is stated that Samuel suffers from some form of mental illness that is also a TitleDrop, called "Daymare Syndrome" which seems to be vivid and disturbing Hallucinations, headaches, and implied aggression, it seems to be a common enough illness that he regularly has to take medication for. Turns out said mental illness was caused by Hexacore who was using him (and many others) as an experiment. Even worse is that his wife was apart of it.



* {{Narm}}: The English voice acting ranges from [[DullSurprise dull]] to outright [[LargeHam goofy sounding]], which can ruin many of the tense or scary scenes in the game. Considering many English-dubbed Japanese Platform/PlayStation1 SurvivalHorror games had such kind of voice acting, this was likely deliberate.

** Checking your inventory is done in real-time, meaning the actual gameplay doesn't pause. This is absolutely frustrating as the game has a lot of enemy encounters, so there's a likely chance you won't have time to reload your weapons or heal when in the middle of a fight. Even worse, there is a 5-second boot-up each time you press the inventory button (something that doesn't even exist in any of the ''Resident Evil'' games), and this drawback exist in all difficulty levels and game modes.
