- Accidental Innuendo:
- Joro battled in the Kantarian Pleasure Pits.
- One of the bugs you can collect is a Boneroach, which some players pronounce as "boner-oach".
- The first thing that the Cryptmaster says when you first enter the tower in the Bonehouses: "Ooh, I never thought rats would be capable of an erection on that scale."
- Awesome Art: The game has a beautiful cross-hatched art style that harkens back to old-school fantasy illustrations.
- Fan Nickname: The Cryptmaster gets called “Cryptdaddy” by fans who have a crush on him. It helps that typing DADDY in the game gives you a unique response.
- Fridge Brilliance:
- Pantry is an odd name for an underground seaside town until you discover the barrels of blood labeled with different types of people in Ulara's tower; the town is her giant food pantry.
- Memetic Mutation:
- Mavis Beacon Teaches Graverobbing/Dungeon Crawling/Necromancy Explanation
- SOOTHE~Explanation
- The Refuser Achievement Explanation
- Most Wonderful Sound: The voice acting in this game is superb, especially Lee Williams’s performance as the Cryptmaster.
- Spiritual Successor: Cryptmaster's macabre humor and typing-based gameplay have been compared to Typing of the Dead and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
- That One Puzzle: One of the skull riddles is a math question that stumped a lot of players due to its wording. Namely, the skull asks “I am four times the age that you were when I was the same age as you. If I am forty years old today, then tell me… how old are you?"Answer
- Ugly Cute: The rats in the Bonehouses look grotesque in par with the game's art style, but they're adorable, especially when they greet you!
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Some players can’t tell that Syn is a woman due to the mask covering most of her face and her androgynous/masculine-leaning appearance.
