  • The fate of the artist in one ending, as he is trapped in a cycle of obsessive mental degradation alone in his ruined house. And, for that matter, the atrocities he likely committed in his quest for the ultimate masterpiece.
  • The game keeps the creepy pressure on even when nothing is happening by keeping you unsure whether something is going to happen. Frequently, nothing continues to happen.
  • At one point, you see a painting of a dog at the end of a hallway, and hear wild, frantic, angry barking. As you get closer to the painting, it begins to warp in a manner suggesting a fire, and the barking changes to frantic yelps of pain and fear.
  • When you enter the baby's bedroom you can go on a mini carousel. The ride starts out playful but progressively gets more sinister as twitching baby dolls start to appear on the wall with the sounds of an infant crying. And as the ride continues to turn, weird drawings and a creepy nursery rhyme appears on the walls while the dolls come closer and closer, before it ends.
  • Getting caught by your dead wife will result in a nasty Jump Scare involving her getting close to your face, revealing her hideous features.
