As a Headscratchers subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Ignoring how unrealistic it is for someone as badly injured as Susan Woodings to survive multiple days before succumbing to starvation, wouldn't she die of thirst instead of hunger?
    • From what I can tell you from medical shows, case studies, and personal accounts (from medical personnel) I've read on Reddit, the human body can be scarily durable. That aside, well, it can take approximately two weeks to die of thirst and about 3-12 weeks to die of starvation, particularly depending on other factors (the person's height, weight, health, and age) at the time. While we do know that Susan did survive being initially stuffed, it's not said how long she was alive after that, much less what her physical condition before being "stuffed" was.
    • The "Shadow Man feeds me when lights go off" line from Relocate Project implies she might be alive, somehow.
    • I don't think those references to starvation were necessarily literal. It could refer to something more along the lines of spiritual starvation (i.e. fading away after death). Being dead does not seem to completely rob them of any sense of feeling, but rather developing phantom sensations after losing their lives (kind of like Phantom Limb Syndrome, but it's your entire body). In that case, the Shadow Man in question would be simply giving the spirits the energy to stay in the mortal plane, keeping them from moving on.

  • If Felix Kranken's car crash was violent enough to kill Ed and Molly, shouldn't he have been severely injured in the crash? Bunny Farm states he was somehow well enough to not only record a tape for himself and walk home, but after having just dug two graves!
    • The Keep an Eye! teaser seems to imply that Felix's car was in good enough condition he could drive it back to his house. He's also coughing throughout the tape (which he may be able to operate solely from muscle memory), and the picture shows him bleeding from his forehead and nose. And as the Fridge Horror page notes, Edd and Molly may not have been dead when Felix buried them.
      • Older cars can be surprisingly durable (if they weren't Pintos), taking a beating but still not being totaled, however, his survival (and not the kids) could depend on when his car was made. If his car was made before 1964, then only his front seats would have seatbelts or, if his car was made before 1968, then he would've had lap belts or two-point belts, as the three point kind (that we're familiar with) wasn't a requirement around the time said car was made.
      • Also remember, Felix was super drunk at the time. It’s a sick reality, but the effect alcohol has on your body often makes it more likely for you to survive a crash with minimal injury. Your body stays loose, which makes injury less likely. Meanwhile someone who’s sober is going to tense up. It's a disturbingly regular occurrence for a drunk driver to survive a car crash but their sober passengers don't.

  • So who was the idiot who designed the original Bunnyfarm game? Arcade games are meant to be quick games that are easy to lose and take 5 minutes to win if you're good. Bunnyfarm has no way to get a game over, and seems to take at least around 30 minutes to win, creepy stuff aside.
    • BunnyFarm does supposedly have a "bad ending" that you can get if you don't finish all the tasks in time, though it's unclear if this was always part of the game or if it's a part of Edd and Molly hijacking it. And to be fair, BSI does advertise it as a "revolutionary" game with features meant to make it stand out from other arcade games.

  • If Charles can't remember his face, how did he show Sophie his uninjured face during the Spot the Differences part of Boozoo's BunnyFarm level?
    • Considering that multiple people’s spirits are haunting the game, one of the other spirits may remember what he looked like before he was killed and supplied the photo for him.

  • Why is Boozoo taking a broken mug out of Banny's pay treated as his Moral Event Horizon? An employee being charged for breaking products is normal and perfectly reasonable. Was he supposed to just let her go with no punishment after she broke it?
    • The point might've been is that, assuming this is in Boozoo's Ghosts, it's supposed to show how greedy and as much of a dick Boozoo is, as, theoretically, he could afford to buy a new mug but opted to deduct the price from Banny's already diminished pay.
