** As well as an unintentional [[Scare Chord]] from the controller; each "scare effect" will be preceded by a "whirr" from the VMU. [[Nightmare Retardant|Kind of takes the bite out of it.]]
* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|The [[True Ending]] has one, involving another horror land called "The Arcade", which, if you look closely, not only bears a suspicious resemblance to the Illbleed tickets, but also has Michael Reynolds' name on it}}...
* [[Shout-Out]]:
* [[Shout-Out]]:* Cork from "Toy Hunter" looks like a cross between Woody from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' and [[Indiana Jones]], with [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|William Riker's beard]] thrown in for good measure. His robotic companion, Potedon, also has the same markings and color scheme as Buzz Lightyear's chest, buttons and all.
** Also, the boss of the next-to-last level is a demonic [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], complete with rings. Sometimes he'll even do Sonic's old "uh-uh-uh" finger waggle.
** "The Revenge of Queen Worm" seems to be a big shout out to ''[[Tremors]]'', due to worms being able to detect you if you're on dirt.
* [[Stripperiffic]]:
* [[Stripperiffic]]:* On a second playthrough, do not save any of Eriko's friends. As Eriko advances through each stage, she loses progressively more clothing with each one. By the time she hits the "true" final stage, she's dressed in bandages and extremely tattered undergarments.
*** Related to the plot, disturbingly enough -: the game's announcer is so turned on by her that he jumps down and starts the final battle. Which is made a lot worse when it's revealed that {{spoiler|he's her ''freaking father''}}. Oh, ''Illbleed''.
** Lose every friend {{spoiler|including Jorg}}, and Eriko will be clad in a few mud splatters and blood stains.
* [[Stupidity Is the Only Option]]: In "Woodpuppets", you encounter the area where people are turned into the eponymous creatures. You have to ''jump in and become a Woodpuppet'' to progress in the level.
* [[Surreal Horror]]/[[Surreal Humor]]: What the game basically ''runs'' on, though it relies on the latter more than it does the former.
* [[Together in Death]]: Non-romantically, but Old David and {{spoiler|his pet worm}} Rachel can be seen as this. A strange mixture of [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy]], [[Dead Baby Comedy|darkly amusing]] and [[Tear Jerker|sad]].
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Averted -: your inventory is emptied at the end of every level, so you have no reason to sit on your items.
* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior]]:
