* {{Narm}}: The musical score, which plays whenever the Chaser is going after Mary, is supposed to sound scary, but the cacophonic piano play accompanied by hysteric female whispering has the exactly opposite effect.

* ItWasHisSled: Just looking at the title screen gives not so subtle hints that Boaris is up to no good and his default pose when you first meet him only amplifies the suspicion. Thus learning that Boaris is a stand-in for Mary's abusive father doesn't turn out that surprising.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack is undeniably beautiful. It never fails to set the atmosphere. One example (out of many good songs on the OST), that sets the whimsical and dreamy mood, would be the Leitmotif of the game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFljz8NmfOk Dianthus Alpinus]].

* NightmareFuel: The ending where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMUojPhvAK8 Elegy for the Dream]] plays, which plays a horribly distorted audio play of a poem where a man and a woman are creepily detailing [[spoiler: Mary's ordeals]] as the credits rolls:

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48StvImU_mM Those Who Dream]] is a quaint little theme that fits the gentle area it plays in.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjA8JUkGc7g Nightmarish]] provides some positively jarring SoundtrackDissonance in one of the {{downer ending}}s.

* RealismInducedHorror: The horror in this dream-and-nightmare themed games come from the subtle and horrifying implications of what Mary's home-life is like in the waking world; specifically, the numerous hints about [[spoiler:her being a victim of ParentalIncest]] at the hands of her abusive father. The game has a lot of creepy moments, but it's the realistic portrayal of her father that makes the game as horrifying as it actually is.
