* WhatTheHellHero: While the game allows you to make several options, if you abandon Layne to the perils of the haunted house, it will scold you for it. It takes a surprisingly even more vindictive turn if you decide to get Layne in trouble, which... doesn't seem like the best of [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop morals]] but as in most horror stories, [[AdultsAreUseless the parents and local authorities do not believe you anyway.]] [[spoiler: The scene where you abandon Layne, for example, scolds you thusly -- "You're completely abandoning your best friend who's been faithfully devoted to you for as long as you can remember--which is close to two decades--without lifting a finger to help him... Wow. Some friend you are. Your guilt weighs on you the rest of the day, and... in the coming days, when you find out what happened to your dear friend... the rest of your life."]]

* {{Badass}}: Layne. As a martial arts practitioner and possible closet knife enthusiast, he can hold his own against bullies, witches, vampires, and so on, even when he's [[spoiler: bleeding to death.]] He could just as easily be the hero of the story instead of you. [[spoiler: (And in at least one case, that's exactly what happens.)]]
