History NightmareFuel / SlayThePrincess

** The Moment of Clarity essentially torments the Player into being a docile husk that can no longer resist her advances.
** The Tower wants the Player to submit to her as a slave.

** The Fury wants to hold, and torture the player indefinitely, so that he feels her pain.

-->'''The Razor:''' I guess I won't be dying alone, after all!

* The Voice of the Broken is also quite unsettling. In basically every other route he's TheLoad, taking a backseat to every other Voice with his depressing input and general lack of desire for action. Here, he develops a supremely unhealthy and dependent obsession with the Tower, which is marked by [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness his uncharacteristic enthusiasm when he hears her voice.]] When the Tower orders the Player to harm themselves or follow orders, Broken forces the Player to do them even when they refuse out of a disturbing desire to please the Tower.

** The exact ways in which the Voices are dealing with their trauma is also rather disturbing. the Hero is downtrodden and wants to forget everything, the Paranoid is scattered and confused, the Hunted is hyper vigilant and fearful, the Cheated is deeply frustrated that nothing seems to work, the Smitten's dialogue almost sounds like a victim justifying a harmful partner, the Stubborn is trying to find some means to defeat the Princess but clearly has run out of options, the Broken has given up even more than he usually does, and the Opportunist seems content just trying to appeal to the Princess and do what she says because he has no other choices. The Contrarian seems the least affected, but it seems his jovial attitude has become a crutch to survive the situation. The Skeptic endlessly philosophises in a vain attempt to find meaning to everyone's suffering and even [[DeadpanSnarker the Cold]] seems more fed up with the situation than he normally is, being much more verbally insistent to the Player that they listen ''only'' to him because the other's have failed.

* Meeting her for the first time can be an unsettling experience. She is wearing the body of the last vessel you encountered and possessing a multitude of hands (her empathy will put make the experience go more smoothly).

** To say nothing of which reaches its climax in the highly graphic illustration collage. One panel in the collage has the Player ''skin the Adversary's face off'' with the knife.

** The Shifting Mound is eerie and inhuman seen this way, communicating through her [[HelpingHands many disembodied hands]] (which in the narration are called ''feelers'', not hands) grasping at the Long Quiet's consciousness. The first time that the Long Quiet refuses, she takes it as a mistake. The second time is the only point in which she's ever angry with him. After that, she makes desperate pleas for him to change his mind, and the next time asks "Why?", but there are no options to respond. Past the point of no return, the feelers pull his shape into something formless and [[InterlacedFingers interlace]], and the two gods linger, the two final statements repeating endlessly, until they fade away.

* All this horror was created due to the Player breaking her the Moment cf Clarity's heart and with her lashing out in the most terrifying way possible.

** The Witch wants the Player to feel what it's like to be betrayed or trapped, just as she felt, even if it means hurting herself.

** This gets to the point where she'll seek to tell you what she thinks you want to here, no matter how insane it might sound. If you tell her that you hope that everyone suffered slowly in the previous world as they died, she'll claim that she made sure of that on ending the world.

* Each variation of the Princess has a twisted form of love or attraction to the Player and this can manifest in horrifying ways depending on route.

** The Witch wants the Player to feel what it's liked to have been betrayed/backstabbed, just as she feels, even if it means hurting herself.

** She won't fight back, just tearily smile asking what she did wrong.
** You'll get the achievement "Slay an Innocent".
** The Voice of the Smitten will be so distraught that he'll hijack control of your body and kill both you and him with the same knife.

* If you told her that she's meant to end the world in the first chapter before fighting her (having brought the knife) she wins [[CurbStompBattle without taking a single hit from you]] and uses the extra time to crush the life out of your body more slowly.

* The Tower, for all of her ethereal beauty, is incredibly intimidating. Besides the fact that her CompellingVoice makes you [[KneelBeforeZod kneel before her]], she can also order you to do things like [[AndIMustScream repeatedly stab yourself until she tells you to stop]], or even [[PsychicAssistedSuicide slit your own throat]]. And as a way of PaintingTheMedium, [[ButThouMust any option besides what she's ordered you to do is greyed out]]. It all makes for an incredibly unnerving opponent who has the power to make you kill yourself by just telling you to do so.
