Spoilers Off applies to all "Moments" pages.
This is how the game starts.
Despite all of its lightheartedness and humor, this is still a story about a serial killer. As such, there's bound to be at least a bit of Nightmare Fuel in it.- The game displays dead bodies in their entirety, with livid skin and all.
- Renju in particular has some pretty disturbing endings. One route has him hanging by a hook through his mouth. His eyes being gouged out of the socket just like what happened with Shoko's body does not help the case at all.
- What happens to So Sejima's body? It is chopped up and put into a vase. Don't worry, you get to eventually see that in one of the routes.
- The warehouse incident. The live-stream showing Iris strapped to a table with her eye taken out about to be cut in half by an ice cutter. In the Annihilation route, we get to see that ice cutter in action in all its gory detail with blood splattering on the camera. Later, it gets used on Ota who gets stuffed in the polar bear costume to be framed as the killer. Outside of that, we see the fact that Ota gets stabbed trying to protect Iris.
- Saito Sejima, the Cyclops Killer.
- A disturbing Serial Killer with a brain disorder that only allows him to feel positive emotions through killing others. When he finally reveals himself, he shows how horrifying he is. Being willing to hop across bodies and kill others as soon as he's done with them just to get rid of witnesses shows how psychopathic he is. When he isn't exhibiting Dissonant Serenity, he's pulling a lot of Slasher Smiles and deranged facial expressions. And this comes across in all the bodies he inhabits. And the reveal that the body we've known as Date turns out to be his original body puts a whole new spin on it. Seeing the man we've known throughout the game being a raving madman throws you through a loop. This also comes across when he is in Boss's body. Worse yet, his father So didn't bother getting his son help and only covered up his crimes using his political influence.
- Saito's Somniums are especially disturbing. In Iris's body, we see the chemical plant. On the path to the Ota and Mizuki routes, we watch childish drawings get covered with bloodstains on several televisions, representing Saito's killing of animals as a child. On the other path to the Annihilation route, it's worse since we see the Old Cyclops Killings represented through the screens instead and you have to recreate the mutilations of the various dummies in the plant. In Boss's body, we see the plant again going through the New Cyclops Killings in their gruesome detail.
- His Leitmotifs, appropriately titled "Atrocious Insanity", give a very unnerving feeling. The discordant synths and disturbing calm from Part 1 encapsulate the madman that he is. Part 2 manages to add more to this with a much tenser feeling of imminent danger.
- How Hitomi ended up losing her arm. Rohan came over to kill her and her daughter with the face of the man she loved. And she would've had no idea. Falco's intervention is the only thing that stopped things from getting way worse.
- The Psync during the Resolution Route, when Saito systematically goes through Date's Somnium, breaking his Mental Locks to pull a Grand Theft Me back into his original body. Just the thought of someone pulling this Mind Rape on you is chilling to some.
- The Index entry for the Freemasons. You're flipping pages through other normal index pages but for some reason it's buried under cards with the Eye of Providence on them and cuts off partway through the description with a keyboard smash.
