Sweet Home (video game)/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The atmosphere doesn't get any better as the game goes along. For one thing, healing is limited in the game. Despite Random Encounters and most other RPG conventions, there are no inns to rest, and no healing items dropped by random creatures. Skeletons and eternally dying victims (torn in half) will talk (or, more accurately, scream) to you.
    • There is one moment of true horror that stands out. Just mention the incinerator in the basement to anybody who has played the game. You learn through the frescoes in the house that the matron of the mansion went insane after her baby died in the incinerator. She started killing other children to give her child a playmate. After making it through the basement where you find the skeletons of the children, you come to the room with the incinerator where it all started. Walking closer to it, you hear the child burning to death, screaming for mother.
    • Then there's Yamamura, the mysterious groundskeeper and your only other ally. When you approach Mamiya's room, you're repulsed by a barrier, and Yamamura steps in to help... and his skin melts off. Graphically.
