* CompleteMonster: [[OmnicidalManiac Belial]] is a man who serves {{Satan}} and seeks to destroy the world for him. To bring about [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the apocalypse]], Belial would conduct various experiments on those branded in the Mausoleum, [[FlayingAlive skinning their hands]] and torturing them so he could touch the Shrive. Many people would end up dying throughout the many years he has been doing this. When [[PlayerCharacter Adam Randall]] enters the house, he ends up coming across Belial who locks him up, attempting to kill him several times after Adam escapes.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse / LeftHanging / BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Quite a lot of plot points or even little things are simply dropped in the game, glossed over, and then ''totally unexplained at any point'', even in the copious lore entries the game provides you with. The game is ''exceptionally'' good at raising questions about things that it never seeks to then answer.

** The purpose of [[spoiler:Aelf's breastplate that's found in the Observatory]] is never given; it appears to have no impact at all on the gameplay and may even be entirely skippable - results from speedruns indicate that it's not even slightly crucial.

** The significance of the [[spoiler:infamous Sheol brain maze]] is never explained or even hinted at, and is never discussed before it begins or after it ends. The [[spoiler:Halls of Doppelgangis and Adam seeing his double]], similarly, have no apparent impact on anything.

** There's a spot in the Mausoleum where you will hear the weeping of an old woman.
** The grammophone in the study qualifies as well. When selected, it begins playing a record that has people laughing while a baby is crying. It seems a bit ridiculous, but at the same time it's still somewhat unnerving.
** Walking over dead rats is acoustically "enhanced", sort of constituting the crunchy equivalent of NailsOnABlackboard.

A mysterious and presumably very powerful being, you meet him only appears once in what looks like ancient Egypt, wearing frayed robes that cover him completely... and doesn't really have anything he talks to do Adam like a grumpy old man who has no patience for the foolishness of youngsters. This includes him waving a ''spiked metal mace'' in Adam's face like he was shooing at him with the plot. a cane. He also has one of the best single most memorable lines in the entire game:
