History NightmareFuel / DevilSurvivor2

* ''Devil Survivor 2'' easily trumps ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'' in sheer horror, mostly because as you play the game, ''more and more of the world keeps getting swallowed into NOTHINGNESS!''. This even extends to the map on the intermission screen, where you get the hellish image of more and more of Japan (implied to be the only place that had anything protecting it in the first place) is just GONE, as if it never existed.
* This game [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids somehow got past the ratings board with a Teen rating]] even though it has even MORE [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath onscreen deaths]] than its predecessor. With the same [[SuperDeformed "chibi"]] [[ArtStyleDissonance art style]] as before. One of the first scenes you see in the game is an earthquake that causes a train accident. You get to see all the crushed, bloody corpses scattered around. This includes a full-screen picture (not sprites like the corpses from the train but fully drawn art) of the main character dead and bleeding from a head injury.

* ''Devil Survivor 2'' deserves some kind of reward for making one of the Neutral endings NightmareFuel. This particular ending, the "Kill Polaris" one, involves killing Polaris, obviously. But there are several problems with this. All the damage that was done by the Septentriones? Never fixed. All the world that was consumed by the void? Never restored. All that's left is Tokyo and an endless sea. A sea that is probably neither drinkable, nor has anything to eat in it. Humanity will simply die a slow death from malnutrition. And where there is starvation and poverty, there's usually violence to go with it. And while there are no JerkAss supernatural beings to screw with humanity, there are no benevolent ones either to help humanity. (Yes, there are good supernatural beings in ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei''). The only hope there is that the next guy in line for Heaven's Throne, Er Rai, will show up and fix things. This, however, is ''extremely'' unlikely. Good night, everyone!

** Think about that for a second. In universe, the world is being swallowed by an ever growing void. A sudden error screen gives the implication that ''the whole world has ceased to exist, down to the programming!!''

* Alcor gets interrupted while pondering by Botis and Bifrons. Botis in particular is annoyed he's starting to like humans and may be likely to side with them. So he summons his blade and attempts to kill him. With a gesture, Alcor crushes Botis into a very, very small metal ball, reminding everyone that while he may ''look'' human, ''he most definitely isn't.''

* One of Fumi's Fate scenes involves her experimenting on Jungo, who experiences a ''Literature/FlowersForAlgernon'' moment through whatever Fumi does to the Summoning App and Jungo by extension. Jungo suddenly becomes aware, alert and erudite... Upon which Fumi tells him she needs readings from his normal state, grabs his phone and resets the app. All whilst Jungo begs her to stay her hand before narrating the return to his usual state of mind as sinking beneath a cloudy sea. This is supposed to be funny, right?
