| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The trailer makes excellent use of Lorn's immensely trippy electronic song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evgoa2uVcuE "Acid Rain"]]. |
| 2 | * DesignatedVillain: The target in the prototype. We have no clue what they have done to get on the player's bad side (alternatively, they could just be a target for a hitman), but the game revolves around tracking them down and killing them. It's implied that the target is a rather shady figure, as he's seen with an armed bodyguard who points his weapon at any who come near and is lounging with two women who may or may not be prostitutes. |
| 3 | * ItsEasySoItSucks: The prototype is one of the easiest entries submitted to [=GameJolt's=] Cyberpunk jam, as the only threat comes from a few weak drones and a GlassCannon bodyguard and death barely loses you any progress. This is especially notable when compared to the two absolutely NintendoHard runner-ups. |
| 4 | * ItsShortSoItSucks: The prototype is literally over in a few minutes, while being limited to an ExcusePlot. Most other entries to the jam are about 5-10 times longer, often because of their substantially greater difficulty. |
| 5 | * MemeticMutation: |
| 6 | ** "The Last Night has been REPLACED." [[labelnote:Explanation]]At E3 2021, Microsoft revealed ''Replaced'', an indie game with a similar aesthetic. Since ''Replaced'' has a release date and gameplay, people have mocked ''The Last Night'' for being in DevelopmentHell for four years without a single sign of progress (even being dropped by their publisher), while this newer game is on track to actually release. The fact that Tim Soret posted some tweets expressing resentment added fuel to the fire.[[/labelnote]] |
| 7 | ** The game revived and became associated with a meme known as Milkshake Duck[[note]]The joke describes the titular character being positively received, only for people to turn against him after being found out of being racist. The point being that popularity can be quickly washed away by discovering something about a person's past.[[/note]] due to some turning against the game after knowledge of older tweets by Tim Soret. Soret later apologized for those tweets, considering them to be [[OldShame embarassing]] and not representing his current views. |
| 8 | * OvershadowedByControversy: Pretty much the only thing people remember about the game is Tim Soret's past antifeminism tweets and support of the Gamergate movement, which caused people's anticipation of the game to take a hit. The game is currently in DevelopmentHell. |
