YMMV / L'Abbaye des Morts

• Awesome Music: While the short chiptunes are already a delight for retro enthusiasts, musician Gryzor 87 later remade them as a single, 8-minute symphonic piece titled ''La Suite des Morts''. It's great as it sounds.
• Breather Screen: "A Prayer of Hope". Not a useful prayer, unfortunately.
• Fridge Brilliance: Some related to Catharism.
  • Jean has jumps and quick reflexes as his only means to survive, as he doesn't attack enemies in any way – Catharism preached non-violence.
  • Being burned to ashes and finding a resting place in Heaven is likely the best case scenario for Jean. Why? Cathars were dualists that believed in the impurity of the physical body.
• Goddamned Bats/Demonic Spiders: Bats and spiders are present here but are among the easiest enemies to avoid. The role may rather go to some later enemies, although it's mostly their placement in tight places the real danger.
• Nightmare Fuel: The screen "Plagued Ruins" has insects with skull-like or distorted human faces. Also "Hangman Tree", where the music suddenly stops playing as you face the hanging bodies of four monks. It, however, may turn into...
  • Nightmare Retardant: The bodies are another obstacle and move up and down. It may be too ridiculous for some.
