History NightmareFuel / MadFather

'''Unmarked spoilers below!'''

* Aya's lack of empathy is a main point in the series. She cares about nobody but herself and her parents and (encouraged by her mother) kills animals for fun. Even Alfred himself is unnerved by it! As shown in the Nintendo 2020 Remake:

* The Blood Mode reveals that [[spoiler: yes, Aya killed Jean Rooney in the True Ending. Jean's spirit appears as an eyeless corpse in Aya's nightmare.]]

* Aya's father as a whole. ESPECIALLY when [[spoiler: he chases down Aya to kill her and make her a doll.]]
** [[spoiler: That laugh and his screams. It was frightening the moment you feel trapped in some areas. ]]

** In the new Steam version, the bloated doll has been removed, and replaced by a ragdoll hanging from the ceiling in a hangman's noose. Unlike the bloated doll, she only appears the first time you enter - after exiting and reentering, she's gone.
* The little boy in the kitchen tells Aya that the ham ''tastes just like Mom.''
** It MakesSenseInContext: That was a literal translation. The context itself translates better as saying it "tastes just like how Mom makes it." This has been corrected in more recent updates.
* The mad father's [[spoiler: creations, especially for people who find dolls creepy in the first place!]]

* Aya witnessing [[spoiler:her father stab her mother in the chest.]]
* The fact that Aya [[spoiler: turns out to be just like her father.]]
* One word: [[spoiler:""[=AAAAAAaaaaaayaaaaaaaa=]......" And it's voiced, too!]]
* In the Steam version, the scene in the trick room has been completely changed - it used to show a king watching two knights duel; now it depicts a dead girl lying on an altar surrounded by nuns and priests. Once you complete the puzzle, making the right side of the room match the left, the dead girl over on the left side will suddenly ''sit up in the middle of her funeral''... but if you go back to the left side to investigate, you'll find her lying down again.

* At run point you need to use Aya's bunny snowball to obtain an item in a wine cellar near a dining room. Something will start moving around in the room and the bunny will flee. When Aya returns to the dinner room it's overrun with corpses.

* You'll find various corpses in random places throughout your journey.
** It's even disturbing when Aya comes across corpses of kids her age, maybe even younger.

* The adjacent room to the one with the stuffed dog. One of the gems requires you to give the stuffed dog a bone, but you can't do that unless you get one later and then backtrack, and there's no other reason to come back. When you go back into the stuffed dog room, the other room has half of a bloated doll sticking up out of the floor in a pool of blood, which is bad enough. But if you leave the stuffed dog room and come back in, the bloated doll will be fully out of the floor and facing the wall that separates the two rooms. There's no reason to go back into ''either'' of those rooms once you've done the dog puzzle; TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything, it seems.

* The fact that Aya [[spoiler: turns out to be just like her father.]]

* The first soul you see in the room next to Aya's, and the nice JumpScare she delivers. '''''GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER!'''''

* Aya witnessing [[spoiler:her father stabbing her mother in the chest.]]
