* Imagine marching to war when all of a sudden, you feel sick and drained. The last thing you feel as your vision fails is [[spoiler: a grainy sensation as you [[BodyHorror crumble into sand.]]]]
* Quite a few of the bad endings are horrifying. Notable examples are [[spoiler: [[BewareTheNiceOnes Marco]] suddenly going insane, slaughtering the entire party except for Stocke, and then giving Stocke an absolutely chilling HannibalLecture about how it's all his fault his girlfriend is dead before leaving him to die,]] and [[spoiler: Aht going into full-{{Yandere}} mode and trapping Stocke forever in a nightmarish dreamworld where they can spend eternity together.]]
* A more notable example is [[spoiler: Alistel slowly becoming more and more of a police state, with Hugo taking over and abusing his position as the Prophet Noah's voice to lead the country on a genocidal crusade.]] What makes this even worse is the only other factions you can side with are either [[EvilVersusEvil just as bad]] or woefully undermanned. It's truly the DarkestHour of the story.

* The final boss Apocrypha is summoned from [[spoiler: the memories of Sacrifices who gave up their lives for the ritual]]. While plenty nightmarish on its own, ''Perfect Chronology'' manages to make it even more chilling with voice acting of all things - every time it performs an action, pained voices can be heard, including one very clear scream of "I don't wanna die!"

* Hugo's death in the Alternate History. He ''burns alive'' due to his time-reversing HealingFactor backfiring, and he's ''smiling'' the whole time, still babbling insanely about how he still thinks he's doing the will of Noah. Not that he didn't have it coming, but it's still terrifying.

* The final instance of the Possibility History section of ''Perfect Chronology'' allows players (and Stocke) to see a desolate world reduced to sand and dust, with an amnesiac Heiss wandering the wasteland, having forgotten ''everything'' in his futile victory. This is heavily implied to be a possible future if Heiss is allowed to abuse the Black Chronicle to grind Alistel and Granorg down in endless war even as the land is consumed by the desert.
