Ah, Fate/stay night (and by extension Fate/Zero). Kinoko Nasu comes close to H.P. Lovecraft in creating both Humanoid Abominations and Body Horror in his settings. The bad endings that you can get range from depressing and squicky to pure, undiluted Nightmare Fuel. Have fun sitting through forty bad endings to get 100% Completion...and even that itself has Fridge Horror. See below for more details.
![](http://static.miraheze.org/allthetropeswiki/f/f3/Worms_4063.jpg)
- A lot of the game overs are like this. You have no idea what a violent, meaningless death is until you've played this game.
- And then there's Heaven's Feel. One shouldn't play it at night. As a whole, it is like the End of Evangelion of Fate/stay night, plenty of Tear Jerkers with most of them made of Nightmare Fuel. From Sakura Matou's Backstory, her Start of Darkness, the Bad Endings, a massive Downer Ending, everything in between, AND a sympathetic Kotomine AS AN ALLY! Good luck to NOT Go Mad from the Revelation.
- Whatever you do, don't think about the Makiri parasitic worms. Don't think about how, if you've had the comparative good fortune to be born male, they'll simply kill and eat you. And especially don't think about how, if you're unlucky enough to be female, they'll eat you alive (ovaries first) while essentially raping you at the same time. Even more, don't think about how Sakura has had to spend practically every night for the last eleven years stuck in a room full of them.... And this is JUST the backstory!
- Not to mention that these worms are PENISES with More Teeth Than the Osmond Family.
- You know, the game itself says it best. Death by Sex, indeed:
- Whatever you do, don't think about the Makiri parasitic worms. Don't think about how, if you've had the comparative good fortune to be born male, they'll simply kill and eat you. And especially don't think about how, if you're unlucky enough to be female, they'll eat you alive (ovaries first) while essentially raping you at the same time. Even more, don't think about how Sakura has had to spend practically every night for the last eleven years stuck in a room full of them.... And this is JUST the backstory!
- And then there's Heaven's Feel. One shouldn't play it at night. As a whole, it is like the End of Evangelion of Fate/stay night, plenty of Tear Jerkers with most of them made of Nightmare Fuel. From Sakura Matou's Backstory, her Start of Darkness, the Bad Endings, a massive Downer Ending, everything in between, AND a sympathetic Kotomine AS AN ALLY! Good luck to NOT Go Mad from the Revelation.
- Then there's the final bad ending you can get. Sakura inflicts on Rin all the pain that she went through for eleven years... and Sakura describes to Shirou how Rin is screaming "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." all over and over again...
- Fate, Day 15 Church Basement. Shirou finds the orphaned children from the fire ten years ago still alive, but had undergone severe Body Horror for the sake of providing Gilgamesh with mana.
- Notable bad ends include any that involve Ilya, and the one where Caster turns Emiya into a living wand for projection magic and Rin ends up mercy-killing him. However, the most scary one was the completely out of nowhere bad ending (caused by just asking too much about Caster) where Issei, under Caster's control, stabs Emiya and then slits his own throat.
- There's also the one where Kuzuki punches Rin's head off and blows a hole in Shirou's stomach.
- The ones where the player's view fizzles out like a broken TV with appropriate sound effects.
- the first Game Over you can get: simply put, you're reduced to a head and torso by Illya's Servant, cursed by Illya so that you can't die or lose consciousness unless your head is destroyed, and then taken captive to be tortured by her for eternity. And all because you choose not to be Saber's Master. Well, so much for free will.
- You can't fight Fate/stay night?
- It happens because you don't have Saber to defend you, but as Ilya cheerfully explains, she really just felt like doing it. The fact that Shiro is being reduced to a disembodied head doomed to eternal suffering for what is, essentially, Ilya's vague whim just makes it a million times worse for me...
- Zouken. Matou. Most specifically, the scene where he sends worms after the drunk woman who has no idea what is going on while they devour her alive, and all the while there are these chewing noises.
- For more Fridge Horror, the 100% Completion (and at the same token the Tiger Dojo itself). Innocent enough until the end when you are told that the Hot Springs where Taiga and Ilya are at is in the Afterlife. WHAT IS TAIGA'S CAUSE OF DEATH?!
- Except, Taiga is alive in Heaven's Feel True End. The " afterlife" part might just be Rule of Fun.
- For more Fridge Horror, the 100% Completion (and at the same token the Tiger Dojo itself). Innocent enough until the end when you are told that the Hot Springs where Taiga and Ilya are at is in the Afterlife. WHAT IS TAIGA'S CAUSE OF DEATH?!
- Most of the Nightmare Fuel in this series comes from the sheer amount of Body Horror inflicted on people. For example, we have Smug Snake Shinji Matou getting horribly transformed into a living mass of flesh that's barely conscious, eventually becoming a vessel for The Corruption...
- The worst Body Horror? Shiro during Heaven's Feel. Shiro, or rather Archer's reality marble protects his body by creating blades in the place of bones and muscles. As a result of the issues that come with having Archer's arm grafted onto his body, Shiro's body is slowly invaded by Archer's reality marble until the blades start bursting out of his skin and making it difficult for him to even move. This should give you an idea how bad it really is. "I am the bone of my sword" indeed.
- True Assassin is creepy.
- Kotomine's ending in Fate/unlimited codes. He summons Avenger and effectively ends the world. It shows a void... thing above him as he does this. It even plays All The World's Evil instead of one of the standard ending themes during the credits!
- It's a real tribute to the writing that quite possibly the most chilling Bad Ending in the whole game is the "Superhero" ending on the ninth day of Heavens Feel, which involves neither a gruesome and horrific death nor an And I Must Scream scenario. You reach that ending by choosing to kill your Love Interest rather than fighting to protect her, and the last words are: "There's no need to talk about the obvious outcome. Emiya Shirou will turn his mind to steel, and become a superhero." The implications are... unsettling.
- ↑ The person in the picture is Dark Sakura, holding Zouken Matou.
