History NightmareFuel / CookingCompanions

* The game confirms that the reason that Karin, Mariah, Anatoli and Gregor were even in the woods in the first place was because they were trying to flee Ukraine during [[https://holodomormuseum.org.ua/en/the-history-of-the-holodomor/ Holodomor]], a genocide that was committed via starvation caused by the Soviet Union, who would confiscate the food produced by Ukrainian farmers when they couldn't meet the unreasonably high quota.

* While the additional ending to Nightmare Mode ends up being Heartwarming for almost everyone, it results in Mariah taking advantage of the Player Character's lowered guard (from their question being answered correctly) to stab them in the chest and taunt them as they die. The narration notes that at some point you can't answer Mariah because your lung has collapsed. Her SlasherSmile does not help. It can almost make the following epilogue come off as an EsotericHappyEnding for a game that didn't really need it.

** The Protagonist finds the Chompettes in their drawer and proceeds to leave them there until their minds break. It's also highly implied that Potato is the murderer, leaving the children stuck with their killer for an undisclosed amount of time.

** The way to get to the new ending: You're awoken by the spirits of Anatoly, Mariah, Karin and Gregor who are in the living room. [[TheBlank None of them have faces.]] They describe a ritual that will allow Mariah to live and the narration notes that the hatred and spite the ghosts have makes the ritual extremely dangerous. ([[OminousSavePrompt The game also tells you that there is no going back and that it would be a good idea to save.]]) If you agree to do the ritual, it's described as you suddenly experiencing a searing, horrific pain as the game states that "something has gone '''horribly wrong'''" while Giygas-esque melting {{Nightmare Face}}S appear in the background.

* [[NoPartylikeaDonnerParty The premise of the game.]] You and a group of plucky (mostly..) young people are making your way through the mountains when a combination of poor planning and a flash flood causes the group to turn to cannibalism to survive. Made much worse with TheReveal.

* TheReveal that the player character intended all along to kill and eat their guests. They have apparently been doing this for years, luring vulnerable and desperate in need of a vacation or a meal.

* The reveal that the Chompettes were a group of young children who discovered the cabin and used it as a hideout to try to evade a serial killer. [[DoomedbyCanon It did nothing to help them.]]
** The nightmare in this section is of Ryna (Raspberry when she was human) encountering the serial killer, who proceeds to peel her face off.

** You can find and keep a meat cleaver from the kitchen (in order to do this, you must leave the kitchen after picking up the cleaver) to help defend against the killer (who the other characters insist at this point must have lost their trail). [[FailureistheOnlyOption All it does is make the killer laugh at you before the entire group gets murdered.]]
