Were you hoping to get a simple wardrobe change, Hecate? Too bad.note 

This may be an Action RPG for mobile phones revolving around fairy tales, but damn if it doesn't have its share of creepy moments.


  • The Downer Ending of the first chapter: Just when it seems like all is over and the party is ready to go for new adventures, Ex falls victim of a Demonic Possession and starts stabbing every one of his friends to death with a knife (Fortunately for Reina and Shane, they manage to run away). What doesn't help is Ex does all of this with a very calm expression on his face, while also laughing maniacally.
  • A lot of the monsters' designs are downright scary. It's a pity you can't fully appreciate their full sprites in action on the offline app. Examples include the Ghost Puppet, what with his giant grin on his face and stomach. His glowing eyes may also remind you to the Shadowlurker.
  • Shadow Hagoromo Tennyo's face is drawn in such a realistic way that borders into Uncanny Valley, especially compared to the otherwise anime-style artworks that are prominent in the game. There's also her Global attack, where she summons a horde of screaming ghosts that fill up the whole screen.
  • No thanks to Baron, Hecate is turned into a Chaos Teller... Look at the picture above. The poor girl has become a six-winged humanoid Mechanical Abomination, with visible Tears of Blood on her face. Her legs are amputated and her arms are now big ass claws. And she's also unable to speak anymore, only moan in pain. All of this, witnessed by her brother, who's devastated.
    • There's also that little creature that looks like a winged egg with human arms and a incredibly disturbing Slasher Smile under the cracked part. While the only thing it does is summon Mega Villains with it's clarinet and follow Chaos Hecate around, the creature surely makes that up by being one hell of a terryfing tiny Eldritch Abomination.
  • A Story Teller/Chaos Teller mix sounds like an awesome idea, right? Think again and say hello to Chaos Andersen! Unlike most Story Tellers' Imagines who fly around their master and get the chibi treatment, Andersen's Imagines are nothing like that. For starters, he has four of his creations protruding from his back; Gerda, Kai (who look like zombies), a Tin Soldier and a black-colored Fir Tree resting over him, further damaging Andersen's body and slowing him down... As for the guy himself, well, he goes through a Body Horror transformation that turned his skin rocky and grey, with claws growing from his fingers larger than his head. During cutscenes, it's made very clear Deus Andersen is suffering in constant pain in this form.
