Nightmare Fuel / Among the Sleep

Go To

  • Just the fact that you're a two year old in a horror game is scary enough, because you can't run fast and you definitely can't fight...
  • Teddy is a bit creepy as well sometimes, even though he's on your side. He's in the category of "things that a baby wouldn't know were weird or would just be confused by, that are creepy as heck to someone old enough to understand that's not supposed to happen".
  • That creepy black thing that appears in some of your drawings. Especially since it's actually your mother.
    • On a similar level, the living trenchcoat and its Glowing Eyes of Doom, especially since you only encounter it in an area where there are lots of other trenchcoats, and unlike the black thing it actively hunts you.
  • "He will not take you from me." That whole sequence is a bit of a gut punch.
  • The alternate ending from an earlier version of the game that can be viewed in the enhanced edition. Teddy transforms into a demonic-looking monster that plans to eat the child. You can only watch helplessly from inside your crib as he drops the mementos into the boiling soup pot before grabbing the child and dropping them in.
