It barely has any cliches tho. It's supposed to be subtle, and not a "KABOOOOM HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD POURED OUT OF THE CARTRIDGE OH NO I GOT TRACKED BY A KILLER *INSERT SCREAMING HERE* " kind of thing. I'm trying as hard as possible to avoid that. It's supposed to feel. And I never said anything about the game having effect on the real world, or red text. It's a thing to make you wonder if it was my own senses malfunctioning or the game actually having something.

The "I saw that it was night outside, in real-life. Even though I started wandering around at day-time." is exactly that, the player having walked in circles without even realizing they've been doing it for hours non-stop.
