* [[spoiler: In the end, Desmond and his father and allies are shown a vision of what would happen if Demsond ''doesn't'' save the world: humanity would survive despite the destruction and Desmond would become a teacher to the survivors. Unfortunately, when Desmond dies, his teachings would soon be rewritten and used as a justification to use violence. It would be the Crusades all over again.]]

-->'''Erudito:''' Workers are paid next-to-nothing and placed in temporary work camps where they are deprived of basic human needs. The pollution caused by their factories in India has led to an estimated 527, 700 fatalities [[PunctuatedForEmphasis this. Year. Alone.]]

** Hell, Erudito's distorted mechanical voice is already frightening by itself, [[UncannyValley especially when it gets obviously emotional, the best example being the hacked Clean Future ad.]]

** Just because Erudito takes more lighthearted jabs at the Developer Diaries doesn't mean they aren't terrifying. Indeed, even the Dev diaries hide terrible,terrible secrets.

* The Erudito hacked version of all the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wohEGGOTXX8 Abstergo advertisements]], which involve Erudito warning you of Abstergo's absolute control all over the world and how even the most innocent commercial can hide such dark secrets. It doesn't help that Erudito likes to put a PhotoshopFilterOfEvil on the videos. The other set of videos, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt0TgHwzJEQ&feature=channel&list=UL the Developer Diaries]], is slightly less creepy as Erudito likes to take [[DeadpanSnarker jabs]] at it. Key word here being "less".

** Speaking of which, the edited version of the Clean Future ad shows just how [[CrapsackWorld deplorable]] the world is under Abstergo. The fact that this is the only time Erudito's voice [[OocIsSeriousBusiness changes from its usual matter-of-fact tone and sounds genuinely upset]] is just the icing on the cake.

-->'''Steve Gerkin:''' These are all recollections of the American Revolution, distilled from actual memories

** Throughout the whole DLC you can find various items that look like they've been rendered with [=PS1=] graphics, making them barely recognisable and creating a sharp contrast with the rest of the world. This includes stuff such as the bottle of whiskey the was Charles Lee's last drink, to Achilles's hat and cane, to Haytham's cloak. But that is nowhere close to as creepy as finding ''Desmond's'' stuff and seeing a screenshot of how he [[spoiler:died]]. Imagine the whole thing from Connor's point of view: he keeps finding otherwordly fragments of the life he lived and suddenly he's treated to [[spoiler: Desmond's death]] without any context whatsoever.
