The giant boss monster you fight about halfway through Prototype Mansion is revealed to be the building's Caretaker, who's been caring for Muriel and bringing her food and water in her room (which explains how a small child has survived so long in a zombie-infested mansion) and even leaves you a note saying that shooting him was rude and that the place is dangerous and you need to leave.Inventory Management Puzzle: Garden Variety Body Horror has limited inventory space, though you can store items in safe boxes that are unlocked with fuses (which are limited in supply and can be hard to find).Healing Herb: You heal health by eating potted plants whole, parodying Resident Evil's green herbs.Hartman Hips: As a result of the Super-Deformed art style, Cass and the female zombies have these.Genre Shift: Prototype Mansion uses classic Survival Horror fixed cinematic cameras, while Garden Variety Body Horror uses more of a third-person platformer camera (closer to Super Mario 64 than Resident Evil 4).Prototype Mansion is apparently a prototype disc for a game called Murder Mansion, and Garden Variety Body Horror is a Japanese import disc of a game called Garden Variety, with 'Body Horror' being a Japanese descriptive subtitle.
