As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The "4 Minutes Before Death" scene where the Justice Minister dies of a heart attack was probably supposed to be funny in its cartoonishness. If you've ever actually seen someone have a heart attack, it's... not.
- Even if you haven't seen someone have a heart attack, it's not funny.
- To elaborate, a list of all the deaths in the game up to that point: rendered unconscious by the shock of a point-blank shotgun wound, then, still unconscious, killed by a subsequent two-story fall; Instant Death Bullet; Instant Death Bullet sniping; Instant Death Bullet shot from an otherwise rather amusing Rube Goldberg machine; crushed by a giant plastic chicken; rendered unconscious in a car crashnote .; rendered unconscious in an electric chair explosion, then succumbed to injuries shortly afterward in the moratorium; man spasms around in horrible pain, screaming, reaching for the medicine that would save his life and launching it across the room in his spasmodic state, even knocking his water pitcher that would at least buy him some time off the table, spends his last few moments in utter hopelessness, and just keels over, betrayed by his own body.
- And of course, fail to alter the past and you'll have to rewatch the whole scene. Believe us, it doesn't get any easier to watch.
- Even though Sissel alters fate repeatedly throughout the course of this game, the victims remember everything about it in full detail, even if it takes them a while to do so. This is why Sissel is so desperate about saving the final victim immediately, so that they don't have to experience this pain.
- In the sequence detailing Missile's second death, mysterious waves emanate nearby underground. Seeing as they were seen coming from your dead body at the beginning of the game and Ray stated that only some people get to use ghost tricks, well... let's just say it was was very relieving to find out it was just a meteorite...
- Not just any meteorite. What if a dangerous individual died in the presence of this meteorite? Let's say Hitler who can manipulate people like Yomiel. Not aging too and is a walking contradiction who is not alive yet not dead. No one wants to know what kind of monstrosity deeds will such people do. And there is no way they will let themselves be arrested to be experimented on.
- The Manipulator, real name Yomiel. Imagine you're going for a pleasant walk in the park, when suddenly, you black out. When you come to, there's a dead body in front of you and a smoking gun in your hand. Then, you're wanted for murdering this person, even though you know you've never seen them in your life. Only to then see video evidence that you did, in fact, kill this person. It may or may not be made worse if you know that you did it because a non-corporeal being was using you as a meat puppet, and there was nothing you could do about it.
- The first appearance of Yomiel. Cabenela shoots him, his corpse goes rolling back on the stepstool cart...and then the cart comes rolling back and he slowly stands up again. The fact that he's wearing what Sissel believes to be his own face makes it even scarier.
- The first few scenes where Yomiel is walking around among the living are pretty creepy on their own. He takes a bullet to the chest but simply gets back up unharmed and kills Cabanela with his own gun, rises off an autopsy table in a limp, back-arched fashion, and simply stands smugly while a massive explosion happens around him. His inhuman capabilities can really mess with a player's mind the first time they see him (leaving you to wonder how are you going to stop this man).
- In the same scene, if you get noticed by Yomiel, he stops time and looks right at you, telling you that there's nothing you can do to stop him. It does not help that, because of the way the scene plays out, it looks like Yomiel is staring right at the player.The scene shows Yomiel's view of the ghost world
Sissel: Wh-What's going on?! (I've never seen the Ghost World like this!)
Yomiel: So you're here, are you?
Sissel: …! (He senses my presence!)
Yomiel enters the land or the living, a spotlight shining down on him
Yomiel: I noticed you. You think you could stop me, do you?
Sissel: ……
Yomiel: I don't know why you're wearing my face… but you might as well give up now. I control everything!
Cabenela: Damn it! (Readies his gun)
Yomiel: Everything! Including the life of the inspector in white!
He swivels the desk lamp to knock the gun out of Cabenela‘ s hands
Sissel: W-Wait! Don't shoot!
Yomiel shoots Cabenela, Fade to White
- Yomiel sabotaged Kamila's surprise for her mother's birthday so that it killed her. It's possible Kamila hasn't figured out what happened, being very young and out of sight when it happened, but Jowd definitely did, and he does not know about the sabotage part. Jowd genuinely believes his daughter accidentally killed her own mother.
- Even entering the abandoned house for the first time is enough to give you the creeps. Once you notice it's got the exact same machine set up at the scrapyard and see all of the rotting birthday decorations, you'll be left wondering what the hell happened.
- Possessed Kamilla. It's worse if you know that the original plan was for her to shoot her own father.
- Chapter 17 has the characters trapped in a sinking submarine with no way out. As Yomiel puts it, "The only thing left to do is wait for water pressure to crush the sub."
- Just how close Commander Sith came to winning at the end; despite everything you've done to get this far, it looks like the game will end with most of the main characters dead and the ghosts trapped at the bottom of the ocean forever. If Lynne didn't have a "Eureka!" Moment with the pocket watch transceiver, Sith would have won.
- In the ending, it's revealed in the first timeline, Sissel refused to help Lynne. As a result, everyone died and we get to see it. After spending the entire game getting to know the characters through Sissel, watching him just go away and everyone else suffering because of his decision is both sad and frightening.
- It can get worse when you consider Missile-Prime struggled for ages trying to work out how his ghost powers could save those around him and failing every time. Seeing people he loved die not just once but over and over and being unable to figure out how to make it go away.
