This includes occurrences such as [[spoiler:getting sucked into an ice statue's memory, getting attacked by a spirit wolf, and getting the attention of the Wendigo itself]].

* CatScare: Most of the time if you hear something going on out there, it's a wolf scavenging a bit while your back was turned. Most wolves aren't even aggressive and will have only knocked over a few cups and plates then scamper away when you get within sight of them.

* NothingIsScarier: The only "living" things are Carl (the player), the occasional wolf, and a single resident who manages to be alive and still around. Encounters are so few and far enough in-between you're wandering a snow-covered abandoned ghost town in relative silence, leading to any shocks caused by those encounters to hit harder than if there were enemies everywhere.
