* TheNecromancer: [[spoiler: Ada in the bad endings resurrects her dead friends as undead Nightmares to serve as her minions.]]

...did we mention that all the characters are adorable talking Ponies?

** [[spoiler: If Ada doesn't kill at all in the game, the second ending occurs, but blood suddenly manifests over her, making her friends believe her story. They leave the mansion in peace.]]

* YouMeanXmas: The game takes place on New Year's Eve. However, from the decorated trees and gift giving, it's clearly meant to be a Christmas stand-in.

On New Year's Eve, Ada and her friends are invited to a mysterious mansion by its enigmatic curator, Abel. There, Ada finds a present, the Demonic Casket. Opening it with apparently no consequences, when she goes to dinner with Abel, she discovers her friends have been suddenly killed and mutilated and the mansion has been turned into a hellscape. She must brave the horrors of the mansion with her magic powers to find her friends.

* BossInMookClothing: Like Heavy Hitters in {{VideoGame/Bioshock Infinite}}, Nightmares are introduced as a boss fight in the second level, but by the final level, they're just another (albeit [[EliteMook very powerful]]) enemy.

* UnholyGround: The portal to [[VeryDefiniteFinalDungeon Pandemonium]] is located in a church.

* EvilOverlord: [[spoiler: In the Bad Endings, Ada becomes one after killing her friends. She resurrects them as Nightmares as her minions and spreads the darkness and horror of Hell across the land.]]

* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler: In the two bad endings, Ada becomes the queen of Hell, either after killing her friends or ruminating at the tree where it all begins.]]

** [[spoiler: If Ada kills her eyeless friends at the end of the game, she goes to the tree where the game begins, ruminating on what Abel said before apparently becoming corrupted by the casket and becoming Queen of Hell, resurrecting her friends as Nightmares and spreading evil across the land.]]
** [[spoiler: If Ada spares her friends, she returns to the dining room. Her friends don't believe her when she tries to explain the torments she received, before she goes berserk and kills them, resurrecting her friends, opening the casket and once more becoming queen of Hell.]]
