  • Funny Moments:
    • During dinner, the Killers all argue over who should carve up the main course - Huntress with her axe, Trapper with his cleaver, Spirit with her katana, or Wraith... with a skull. Also, said main course is Survivor Felix Richter.
    • The "Reality TV Confessional" segment.
      • The Huntress is proud that you didn't die that day, and marks it as genuine progress for herself that she didn't kill a non-parent for once.
      • The Wraith automatically makes the "oh, no"-worthy self-deprecating remark that he doesn't want to get his hopes up since you might decide he's not the one for you at any moment, "and they seem smart, so that's probably what's gonna happen."
      • Trapper is boastful, but threatens to kill the chyron guy if he's listed as "Evan".
      • Spirit (if ignored) mentions that she used to think she'd be alone forever... but now she knows she will.
      • During the second confessional, the ocean manages to sit in a chair… and pee on it.
    • On one of the Trapper's mid-game dates, he'll tell the player that he likes them well enough to let them see his art, and show them… a rough and cutesily-simple pencil doodle of the Hillbilly. Which it turns out that he did not draw and that he stole from the Hillbilly himself.
    • Halfway through the game, the player will need to eliminate a Killer from their pool of options, and whoever they select will receive a consolation prize for being out of the running: a Trickster body pillow. That Dwight has "tested".
    • Picking Huntress for the final date has a seagull land on her shoulder like she's a Disney Princess... and she promptly breaks its neck to eat later.
    • Huntress's route involves the player visiting the other Killers to look for some missing belongings of hers. When they drop by the Wraith's hangout spot, he'll invite them to look through a telescope at IP Island, the resort for licensed Killers that the Trickster can't stop talking up, and when they zoom in, Ghostface will suddenly pop up in the lens, waving at them.
    • adding to the humor of the cameo is unlike the Hotter and Sexier Killers seen so far, Ghostface is rendered more or less on model to his DBD counterpart. Both making his appearance funnier.....and adding the hilarious Fridge Logic that Ghostface showed up in a all black tactical outfit to vacation on a tropical island.
    • The penultimate scene of the Trapper's route involves him momentarily retreating after telling the player he has a "huge" surprise for them, and while the innuendo sets one up to expect Fanservice, there is very little that can prepare them for him going so far as to come back in nothing but a Speedo with a diamond-encrusted codpiece.
    • The reveal that The Entity was the game's narrator in the bonus scene you get for getting all the good endings makes a lot of their scenes Hilarious in Hindsight, especially when you consider that the cosmic horror that has psychotic killers murder people so it can feast on their souls apparently draws the line at having to narrate smut.
  • Fridge Brilliance: Of course Ghostface, the character whose gameplay mechanic revolves around players trying to locate and look at him, would be the game's Easter Egg cameo.
    • The Trapper's isolated Loners Are Freaks nature seems to be a reflection of his status compared to the other killers in the main game; Rather than joining The Entity willingly and/or abiding by the rules, he repeatedly defied it and only steps in line after its punishments got too horrible to bear.
  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • To counterbalance the tearjerker below, you can opt to join The Huntress in her song, leaving her overjoyed that someone else knows it.
    • If you successfully date Huntress, her mother's spirit appears to potentially give you her blessing.
  • Tearjerker:
    • The Huntress' storytime at the campfire has her relate her backstory, boasting of her prowess at hunting... until she gets to the girls she'd abduct, tears streaming openly down her face as she talks about it.
      Huntress: Longing for a child of her own, she'd bring them back to her secluded cabin to keep them safe. She'd wrap a tight cord of rope around their necks and affix them to the wall. That way... they'd be warm. That way... they'd be out of harms way. The Huntress would even bring the girls presents. Toys she'd pilfered from other bodies, masks she'd fashioned out of things from the cottage and little dolls made of grass and twigs. But these toys did nothing to quell the children's fear. Within days, the girls would waste away from starvation and dehydration. For all her good intentions, The Huntress had never learned how to care for a human child. (You see a tear creep down from underneath Huntress' mask. Suddenly, the most beautiful singing voice you've ever heard fills the air.) "Sleep my darling tiny one. Tucked within your bed so tight. Else the old gray wolf will come. And grab you by your side..."
    • Every single one of the bad endings (which are necessary to get for 100% Completion), which involve doing all the same things you do to get a killer's "romance" ending and win their heart...only to brutally stomp on their sincere love confessions by throwing their insecurities in their faces, maniacally laughing at them, and telling them you never loved them and were only pretending to so you could crush them more completely at the end like this, putting them into a Villainous BSoD. They may be bloodthirsty killers, but your player character's actions are so utterly cruel that many, many, many players have a very hard time watching these scenes.
      • Huntress's rejection happens in front of everybody, and actually causes the other killers to gasp in shock, with Wraith even starting to cry at how horrible it is.
      • Both Huntress and Spirit are shown by water (Rin sitting by the pool, Anna on her knees by the ocean) with Hidden Eyes and a few tears running down their faces.
      • Wraith has complete Ocular Gushers streaming down his face (shown at multiple different angles, to boot) and is clutching his chest over his heart. And unlike the other killers, whom the player character rejects publicly at the campfire gathering, rejecting Wraith happens during his Meet the In-Laws scene, in front of his poor grandmother who just gave you her blessing to be with him, as she can only watch in dismay.
      • Even the Jerkass Trapper looks totally crushed, collapsed on his knees and apparently giving a Skyward Scream.
