YMMV / Sweet Home (1989)

The video game:

• Adaptation Displacement: The Famicom game ended up being more popular than the film, to the point that the original filmmaker commended the developers for making the game scarier than the movie.
• Awesome Music: The Battle Theme.
• Difficulty Spike: Losing a party member does not necessarily stop you from completing the game... but it will make item puzzles far more difficult thanks to a shortage of item slots... and completely Unwinnable if you're down to one before the Final Boss, since you need four slots' worth of plot items to take it down.
• Good Bad Bugs: Encountered by DeceasedCrab during his Let's Play, when he flees the boulder and the wood breaks, causing his middle team member to hang for her life and stranding all three. The rock goes over Emi and vanishes without triggering the usual instant death.
• Heartwarming Moments: The Golden Ending, obtained by not letting any of your party members perish: seeing Kazuo, Asuka, Akiko, Taguchi and Emi huddle toghether, safe and sound, giving an interview about the terrifying experience they survived in the haunted mansion, is immensively satisfying for the player after all the dangers, monsters, deathtraps and close call they faced. Although that is spoiled by The Stinger showing the interviewer is also a monster.
• Narm: The best ending. In which the person interviewing the crew suddenly turns into a monster. While clearly intended to be terrifying, it comes off as hilarious due to its random nature and how the game immediately ends afterwards.
• No Problem with Licensed Games: Both the movie and the game are considered to be very good. In fact, the game is often considered to be better than the movie.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Thanks to the 8-bit sprites, with Akiko wearing a flat medical coat and Asuka wearing some sort of blue cape thing, both can be mistaken for males. The main clues otherwise are the gender-divided Really Dead Cutscenes and the portraits of their doppelgangers seen in the final area.
