** An Iron Maiden serves as an [[ViolationOfCommonSense unlikely and unreliable hiding spot]] for the player to use in the torture room... Should Fiona be caught hiding inside it by Daniella, she'll happily lock her in and activate the trap.

** Debilitas is three times the size of Fiona and can't speak coherently, reducing his mindset to that of an infant. Many players seem to find his antics funny until he knocks Fiona over, whereupon he can pound her body to a pulp or pick her up in a bear hug, which breaks her back.

*** It is possible to come across one of them being cooked - and then it suddenly screams, revealing it's ''still alive''. A disgusted Fiona will comment that the more she looks, the more it resembles a child.

*** It is possible to come across one of them being cooked while still alive, screeching and all. A disgusted Fiona will comment that the more she looks, the more it resembles a child.

** A dimly lit hallway found right before Debilitas' boss fight is filled with spiked pits and has a near-invisible path that only Hewie can detect. One wrong step and Fiona is screwed.

** Daniella is considered to be one of the most disturbing characters in horror gaming, and for good reason. There are many things that are wrong with the seemingly emotionless maid, ranging from her fixation and jealousy of Fiona, her unpredictable and unstable outbursts of mania and her twisted belief that she is merely a homunculus in the guise of a beautiful woman that can never be "complete", unless she takes out the source of Fiona's Azoth: her uterus. What makes her unique among the stalkers is that Daniella is capable of switching back to "normal" at random - Fiona can stumble across the maid cleaning in various parts of the castle as if nothing had ever happened. It may seem as if all is well, but Daniella will inevitably resume the chase when you least expect it.

** Daniella grabs Fiona by the arm and starts laughing maniacally as she tries to escape. Should Fiona fail, she impales her on her weapon. She can also pounce on Fiona and slit her throat.

*** Daniella's grab consists of her snatching Fiona's hand and laughing in an odd tone, standing completely still while Fiona desperately tries to get away.

*** Her introduction as the second stalker has Daniella forcing Fiona into having dinner and then inappropriately touching her as the younger woman sleeps on the guest bed afterwards. Upon causing her to wake up in a panic, Daniella walks away muttering "I am not complete," before ''violently banging her head onto a window'' until it breaks. She then takes a large shard of glass as her weapon and proceeds to hunt down Fiona.
*** If she manages to grab Fiona's hand, Daniella starts laughing in an odd tone and stands completely still while Fiona desperately tries to get away. Also, if Daniella spots Fiona, she may point and ''hiss'' at her.
** Riccardo wants Fiona to birth him a clone of himself ("LET ME INTO YOUR WOMB!"), and then it turns out he's a clone of her father. Yes. Let the implications sink in.
** Lorenzo is a dirty old man who can't walk, but get him on his hands and he becomes the fastest character in the whole game. Then he regains his youthful appearance and can teleport right in front of Fiona. He also has instant-kill attacks.

Upon waking up in a panic, Daniella then proceeds to walk away muttering "I am not complete" before ''violently banging her head onto the window'' until it breaks, where she then takes a large glass shard piece as her weapon before hunting down Fiona proper.

* The music in the game, while sparse, is chilling in its own right. Then you realize that the music has stopped, and one of your pursuers is on the other side of the door you were about to open. Many first time players likely experienced a severe fright because of how the game uses its music. When Fiona is hiding and the stalker leaves the room for a bit, the game will give a "Coast is Clear" message. This seems like an okay to leave the hiding spot, and sometimes it is... but, more often than not, the stalker's theme will pick up again, and chances are they will reenter the room before the player understands it was a false alarm. These precious few seconds will be enough for the stalker to return, preventing Fiona from hiding again and possibly even giving away the hiding spot entirely. The player needs to wait for the normal ambient music to resume in order to guarantee that the stalker has given up.

** There are also the "baby" homunculi, which Fiona accurately describes as looking like "fatty clumps of meat." Upon seeing Fiona, they squeak and run at her; if they manage to catch her, they hold onto her legs, rendering her immobile, and let out a continuous, high-pitched screech.

* In the Old Mansion during Daniella's chapter, Fiona comes across a room with a carousel inside. When you return to it later after moving some rooms around, it's become bloody and rusty. The formerly cheery carousel music is also grossly distorted now, making the whole scene that much more disturbing.
