- Complete Monster: Dr. Sergei Krach is a former professor of criminal behavior and the one behind all the chaos in Gloomywood. After mutilating and killing three of his students, Krach follows the lead detective on the case, Mr. Smith, during a camping trip, decapitating his wife and kidnapping his two children, Sandra and Martin. Now wheelchair-bound, Krach heads an orphanage where he abuses the children he kidnapped for years until they develop sociopathic tendencies. Years later, Krach releases six of his disciples in Gloomywood to wreak havoc and kidnap even more children, keeping Sandra and Martin with him to serve as his Co-Dragons. With the return of Mr. Smith, Krach has his cat nailed to a wall and kidnaps the daughter of his only friend. In the orphanage, Krach forces his subordinates to see him as their god and keeps the children locked behind bars so he can make a new set of killers to cause even more death in the future. If Mr. Smith kills Sandra and Martin, Krach wastes no time in rubbing it in his face before being defeated. A self-proclaimed evil genius who sees others as "weak creatures in chains", Krach was the absolute worst criminal Mr. Smith had to face.
- Goddamned Bats: The rat swarm is a real pain in the ass.
- It's Hard, So It Sucks!: Most reviewers complained about the game difficulty judging it as unfair. And saving the game by smoking cigarettes helped to give polarizing reviews at 2Dark.
- Narm: Although the game is dark, gory, and disturbing, Mr. Smith's wounds like missing half of his head or body are so silly that it's impossible not thinking about any episode of Happy Tree Friends.
- Nintendo Hard: It is very easy to get killed unless the player knows exactly what they are doing. While they can save, it is both difficult to do, and the total number of saves is limited; after a certain point, further attempts to save through smoking simply end up with Smith choking to death on his cigarette.
- Scrappy Mechanic: The contested "smoking cigarettes function" to save the game.
