• Alternate Character Interpretation - There's a theory that claims Brown was only a doll all along. This casts Wendy's actions in a somewhat more sympathetic light, and casts an unfavorable light over Jennifer's.
• Awesome Music: The entire soundtrack.
• Everybody Is Jesus in Purgatory
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel - The Unmarried Mermaid. So much. Any of the monsters in the game, even the lowliest imp, can be pretty terrifying.
  • To say nothing of the Aristocrats themselves.
• Les Yay - A bunch. And all those involved are children.
  • Unlike the infamous trailer would hint, the examples are quite non-sexual in nature.
• Narm - YMMV, but while the Mermaid's appearance and implications are quite horrifying, the sounds she makes can make the fight hard to take seriously: "Wheeee!!"
• No Such Thing As Bad Publicity - Averted, big time. The developers hired a publicist to hype up the game in the Italian press by significantly overstating its graphic and sexual content in an effort to cause controversy. It worked a little too well once the made-up story reached the UK, where its release was canceled due to the ensuing controversy.
• Player Punch - Brown. Oh, god, Brown.
• Tear Jerker - The real ending.
• That One Boss - Most likely Clara from the Mermaid Princess chapter.
• Warped Aesop - The game's fairytale narrative is rife with these, and each episode's storybook is an increasingly appalling version of this, all to drive home what monsters human beings are. Subverted in the end, as the final, picture-only storybook closes the story on a bittersweet, but uplifting note.
