Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.


* EvilIsSexy: "Evil" might or might not be pushing it, depending on who you ask, but the mysterious man is considered '''very''' alluring by the fans.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
About divisions by fans.


* BaseBreaker: A lot of fans are outright in love with the man, but if you aren't attracted to the man in some way, he's extremely uncomfortable to interact with. Even if you do find him attractive, he might still be uncomfortable with how sexual he acts in this situation. [[IntendedAudienceReaction That's the point, though.]]

* MisaimedHatedom: The game is meant to be a psychological horror centered around the feeling of not being able to do anything in this very terrifying situation with no good outcomes. The possible relationship is clearly shown to be unhealthy, built on desperation, and "risky", and that ending isn't treated as a GoldenEnding just because it prevents him from committing suicide. Some people misinterpret the game as a straightforward [[RomanceGame Otome]] about RomanticizedAbuse at best, and a mockery of people in this situation at worst.

* JerkassWoobie: As creepy as he can be, the man has lost all the family and friends he's ever known, can never return to his home in France, has committed such horrible crimes that he considers death a light punishment for them, and is painfully desperate just to feel like there's truly someone left out there who can love him. It's sad that he's gotten to this point, and even sadder that he tries very hard to avoid admitting how bad it is and deflecting any pity or concern.

** There are many theories about the man's true identity. Arsenik? Viktor? Alexandrite? Some other Hulder?

Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The man lends himself to this, since we hardly know anything about him for sure.
** It's heavily implied that he has killed more than a few people. Was it entirely to pay for the debt he mentioned? Was it out of his hands? Does his repentance for it prove that he's not a bad person, just a person forced into a bad circumstance? Or is he manipulating and cherry-picking his words, running away instead of facing whatever it was that he did? Is everyone he ever knew dead because they were caught up in it, or did they die by his hands? Is he a cannibal or just an extremely lustful man? Does he genuinely believe that the player, a complete stranger, loves him enough to justify him not living, or is he just that eager to have anyone to control? Was he trying to scare the player away the whole time, or is he seriously a creep?
* DracoInLeatherPants: The man is [[TroubledButCute sympathetic]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone repentant]], and [[DrivenToSuicide clearly depressed]], but he's also committed some heavy crimes and might be knowingly manipulating the character into staying with him on a whim. It's a complex situation, but some fans prefer to put him in a less ambiguous light.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: The main character of this game is set to be one of the romance options in VisualNovel/BeautyAndTheWarXPlayingPieces. He hasn't even appeared in the true game's demo, but he quickly became the most anticipated suitor.
* EpilepticTrees:
** There are many theories about the man's true identity. Arsenik? Viktor? Alexandrite? Some other Hulder?
** There are theories about what crimes the man's committed, why he's hiding his face, and whether or not he's an actual cannibal. For what it's worth, the man seems somewhat amused in the way he dances around the question if he's asked.
* EvilIsSexy: "Evil" might or might not be pushing it, depending on who you ask, but the mysterious man is considering '''very''' alluring by the fans.
* MemeticMolester: The mysterious man, considering how openly flirtatious and lascivious he is whenever he isn't being depressing.

* NightmareFuel: Everything about this situation is chilling.
