Oh, where to begin...

  • As soon as the game starts, you have no idea what's going on, no idea where you are, and Everything Is Trying to Kill You. And it only gets worse from there.
  • The furnace on the first level, with somewhere between a few dozen and a few million roaches hanging out around the flames for warmth. Roger saying that Eddie's room is infested is an understatement.
  • The enormous rat caught in the trap is considered one of the most iconic scenes in the game for good reason - and to up the scare factor on this nightmarish sight, it's still alive.
    • Speaking of rats, the Rat King. By this point, you've gotten used to following your fellow roaches around to help you navigate. So you and your buddy are running across the bathroom floor, between the streams of water, over the paint brush, through the-OH GOD!
  • Roger's makeshift lab toward the end is filled with creepy experiments he performed on roaches, coupled with eerie Background Music. There's even a still-moving roach he stabbed to the wall, next to a note: "DEATH TO ALL WHO CRAWL ON MY WALL".
