Given that The Imperium Of Man Comes To Gensokyo is half Touhou Project and half 40K, it should really come as no surprise that many things which occur in this game are scary as hell.
- For starters, poor little Yamame
has been transformed into a horrendous hybrid Venomthrope because the Tyranid swarms would benefit from her ability to control disease. While Yamame retains her mind and is able to defy the Hive's commands to a small extent, she is largely under the Tyranids' control. - Then there is the rather... accurate depiction of what a full Daemon World looks like.
- Isaac Bickerstaff's treatment of Zee.
It's never stated ''exactly'' what he did, butIt involved using her as a living virus incubator, among other things, and forced her to side with chaos. Worst of all, it manages to disgust a servant of Slaanesh, the Chaos god of Squick.- Speaking of Bickerstaff, Arcturus ends up recounting the exact moment he lost his mind and gave in to Nurgle. It involved an attack on an underground cultist base that was located on a Chaos-tainted planet. In order to reach the base, you had to walk through a tunnel containing at least a billion dead children nailed to the ceiling. Understandably, Bickerstaff went completely, irredeemably insane after witnessing that while bearing the added strain of a Nurglite daemon in his head.
- Not too mention what the Harvester tricked him into believing he was seeing. He thought his father was responsible, having killed the children to make a point to the heretics. This was what broke his mind and allowed the Harvester to take over.
- To say nothing of when Zee finallly goes into more detail about Isaac's torturing. First, after using her as a human virus incubator for Emperor knows how many years note , Bickerstaff reduces her to a sobbing mess when he sterilizing her by burning her ovaries all the while sounding like a rapist and telling her that Arcturus never loved her, and that he found a new woman to raise some kids with merely a month after she was captured. Charming fellow isn't he?
- Its gets worse. Turns out Bickerstaff was broken into the monster he was by the daemon known as the Harvester. This daemon ends up in Arcturus' head, and uses a strain of hallucinogenic telepathic virus to force Arcturus and Zee to watch what happened. Mercifully, he cuts out immediately before Bickerstaff actually gets in. According to Harvester, he can induce this state any time he likes, and the only reason he cut it out because he thought it was funnier that way. It seems understandable that Bickerstaff broke quite quickly.
