{{quote|The first M-rated game ''ever'' published by Nintendo pushed gamers to the edge of sanity and back. A legitly scary game, the sole purpose this game was made was to fuck with you. Your head randomly falling off, misplacement and, of course, the legendary DOS prompt. Genius. The lower your sanity meter goes, the more screwed up the game gets. This truly is a psychological thriller.|''[[Screw AttackScrewAttack]]'''s Top 10 [[Game Cube]] Games}}
 
That quote says it all. Perhaps the game did its job too well, as these entries will attest.
Line 51:
*** But that's not the end of it! OH no! Another character, Paul the friar, ends up in the same church in a later chapter. You enter the room where the aide died before, and you hear a voice hissing "Charlemagne...". ''It's the aide that you played before, still "alive" after 671 '''years''' of torment as a zombie.'' There's at least ''some'' solace to be had, though: after Paul kills the zombie, he realizes what happened and prays for the poor guy's soul. ''It's not much solace!''
*** Once hit with that spell, the character ''could not die'' except when dictated by the story. Emptying the player's health bar only resulted in the character ''getting back up''. His fate was so decided by the [[Powers That Be]] that he was unable to even '''die''' of his own accord.
* I remember walking into one of the hallways in Chapter 6, and finding a massive collection of shotgun shells. Of course, it was my first time down that hallway during this chapter. My reaction was in a comical place between [[Stop Helping Me!]] and [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]].
* After defeating Pious Augustus and his chosen Ancient, Alex experiences a moment's clairvoyance, where she sees the counter-Ancient she released rape humanity something bad. The visions are seen in flashing, rapid still images, and which Ancient has the least horrible designs for humanity is anyone's guess.
** To elaborate, Chattur'gha turns Earth into a huge slaughterfest; Ulyaoth combines [[Eternal Engine]] and planet-wide torture; Xel'lotath manifests her will through giant pillars that causes all of humanity to go violently mad and turn on each other.
Line 64:
** [[Sarcasm Mode|Happy]] coincidence or [[Fridge Brilliance|another]] layer of [[Fridge Horror|madness]]?
