* The premise of the game is paranoia-inducing. A society brainwashed and conditioned by demons without them being aware of it is '''not''' something you wanna think about. And only a small group of people, LaResistance, are working to do something about it, but the local demonic propaganda paints them as terrorists.

* When Limbo transforms, the landscape becomes horribly twisted and just about everything becomes colored, a jarring contrast to the greyed out palette of the real world. It gets worse when you start looking around the place, subliminal messages crawling around. What makes it all the more startling is how seamless the transition is - at one point Dante is just wandering around with Kat by his side, but then a CCTV camera spots him and recognizes him. Almost immediately, the otherwise totally normal city practically breaks itself apart just to trap him and ensure his death. The city's a GeniusLoci and it wants Dante's head on a pike.
* How about the mission where the home base of the Order comes under siege? Dante arrives just in time to see a SWAT team start breaching the place, and he moves in to help, but of course Limbo reacts and slows him down with more demons to get in his way. At certain points you come across members of the Order running for their lives and/or getting gunned down, and Dante, due to being stuck in Limbo, can do nothing but watch. It really says something that a demon killer like Dante is completely unable to do anything to stop the SWAT teams from making their way further into the bastion of the human resistance. Dante's effectively their ace in the hole, and yet in their DarkestHour, he's present but Limbo refuses to let him intervene. All he can do is rush to find Kat and Vergil and help them escape. All while alarms are sounding and the music becomes frantic and panicked.
** Speaking of Kat, the scene at the end where he tells her what to do when the SWAT troops bust in speaks volumes. He tells her to put her hands up and try to be non-threatening, a giant hint as to what he had to do himself back before he got mixed up with the Order. Then, as if to spite the poor guy, she gets shot anyway and is brutalized before being taken away. It paints a picture of how things work in this game's world - you can be completely harmless, and still get assaulted just because you happen to be related to the target they're after.

The scene is not only brutal, but downright horrifying: Mundus is shown ripping Eva’s heart out right in front of Dante (who managed to hide from the psychopath, thankfully). While the Devil May Cry games feature plenty of character death, violence, and [[HeroKiller hero killers]], cruelty beyond this level is considered one of the most disturbing moments in the franchise.

** There’s also the fact that in this version, Sparda and Mundus are blood brothers; this means that Mundus is not only harming his brother, Sparda, but he’s also hurting his own nephews.
* Speaking of flashbacks, we get to see Sparda himself imprisoned by two demons. This by far makes it one of the most disturbing moments in the game.

* [[BigBad Mundus]]. Everything about the guy is pure NightmareFuel. While the original Mundus in the game was a [[JerkAssGod major asshole]] as Dante would call him, the reboot version is even nastier. There is nothing even remotely redeeming about him, period. It becomes almost memetic to say that Vergil and Dante did nothing wrong with putting him down like a rabid dog.
** Mundus basically can blackmail any politician and keep them on his payroll. What kind of blackmail? He can easily expose secrets of a politician’s career or life that somehow only he himself knows, effectively destroying a person’s career in a heartbeat.

*** Also, if you look closely, the angels watching the brutal murder unfold are [[EveryoneHasStandards just as horrified as the player would be.]]
** AdultFear also plays in for anyone who has fallen into debt with a criminal or loan shark, something that Mundus himself greatly invokes.
