Line 15:
* [[And I Must Scream]]: The empty skin of a person an Excruciator has literally hollowed out into a [[Living Bodysuit]] is explicitly mentioned to be still live and conscious. No, the game doesn't even hint that there's any way to restore a person from this.
* [[Creepy Child]]: In ''The Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor'', the players are creepy orphans with a mysterious past and terrible powers.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: One of the types of monsters used in its dark and twisted take on [[Mons]] are Eldritch Abominations. The non-statted sample monster Dewdrop is an Eldritch Abomination take on a unicorn, while one of the statted sample monsters is a Lovecraftian monstrosity merged with a teddy bear named [[Shout
* [[Kid
* [[Level Up At Intimacy 5]]: The game places a heavy emphasis on relationships. Kids can draw upon their relationships to give them an extra boost when needed, like punching someone who insulted their brother extra hard, or doing better on a test if their mother encourages them. Monsters can also draw upon a child's relationship for an extra boost in combat, but [[You Lose At Zero Trust|if a relationship boosted roll fails...]]
* [[Living Bodysuit]]: Excruciators have a particularly nasty way of rendering people into a [[Living Bodysuit]]. They're bizarre and overly-tentacled monstrosities, so to hide their true nature they literally hollow out a person, then use their (still living and conscious) outer layer as a suit to disguise themselves as human. Oh, and there's no indication in the game that the bodysuit can be saved or returned to normal.
* [[Olympus Mons]]: The game is pretty much based on this concept. Your character (who may be anywhere from 8 to 18 years old depending on the game) has a pet monster that's his or her absolute best friend, and backs the character up in fights against other kids and their monsters. The adult world generally knows about these monsters, but is powerless to stop them - only monsters can really hurt other monsters, and they can tear through people and most earthly materials like tissue paper. Most monsters are some form of Eldritch Abomination to boot.
* [[Shout
* [[Things That Go Bump in
* [[You Lose At Zero Trust]]: If a Relationship Boosted check fails, or if a monster drawing upon the power of a relationship is PWZNED in a fight, then the relationship is "Shocked" and suffers a penalty as a result. Failure to repair the relationship in time can permanently damage it.
