** One of the game updates added an entry for it, in the CAT_DOS computers that catalog most of the Specimens, that not only horribly glitches and makes a terrible noise when you look at it, but also mentions that this red face of clay was so dangerous that GL Labs, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards heavily implied Spooky herself]], had the thing terminated. But that begs the question: Is the thing that exists in the endless hallway some sort of spirit of it, or did they somehow fail to kill it?
** Thought that this thing stayed only in the endless hallway? Turns out, if you idle too long in a room, this thing will [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM1tSjoRtL0 come after you]]. What makes it worse is that this video shows that it can attack you in the SAVE ROOM, a room that no other specimens can enter...
** FromBadToWorse: Specimen 9 is also the FinalBoss and really, ''really'' angry.

** And now that the first full build has been released, it has been discovered that the broken arcade machine can play [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI_nVB2Toyc a secret scene]] if a secret code is input. It depicts what is probably Spooky's StartOfDarkness, where she (?) remarks that she "just wanted to scare people" and that she eventually got her wish, even though "they overreacted". What she did? Well, it's implied that she ''shot and killed someone''. As a ''little girl''.

* Occasionally one of the randomly generated rooms you could go through is an infinite looping hallway with a single locked door that remains locked until a certain number of loops. Now while harmless, there is a chance in it where you can encounter [[https://youtu.be/OIU6IdCcHf8 this]].

* The endings are PlayedForLaughs, and a text even comes up asking if you were expecting a serious ending. That said, seeing your player character LimpAndLivid, with a bloody axe, and with glowing red eyes can give one pause. You see this just after Spooky says that you'll make a fine specimen.

* The encounter with Specimen 12 has you enter a mansion-like area, only to get chased by someone wielding a SinisterScythe. This being a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/ClockTower'', you have to hide as he searches the room while calling out to you. You eventually ''have'' to have him chase you. [=CAT-DOS=] also reveals something about the Specimen that makes it worse: that wasn't the actual specimen. The real one [[GeniusLoci is the mansion itself]], and it [[DemonicPossession possesses intruders]] and makes them kill people.

* Specimen 13. Basically everything that was terrifying about the [[VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent the water monster]], plus it being a mermaid-like creature that likes to eat whales from the inside and lure people into the water to drown them. And then there's its NightmareFace upon killing you.

** To be fair though, those that died likely had heart problems. Still, it's hard not to imagine the situation where a person narrowly escapes a Specimen just to fall victim to a simple jumpscare.

** "Gummy Worms with Gummy Bear Hands" sound incredibly ominous and seems to be building up to something big, before going back to being low.

** "A Smile Beneath Your Skin" is SurpriseCreepy in song form. It starts off as a pleasant chiptune theme, until it gets increasingly more and more industrial. Naturally, it was used in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGhqaCHt2Jw2015 trailer]] for the game.

** She is also very callous to the scientists who work for her. On two separate occasions leaving them to be prey for Specimens 3 and 9 with no other reason than for shits and giggles.

** Considering that pretty much every specimen can chase the player at any time after initially encountering them, this seems to be the case. And the player likely was [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the one who accidentally let them out]].

** The currently nameless chase theme for the new Specimen 10, which is the first chase theme in the entire game to sound outright depressing. As well as having some truly alien noises.

*** And the play-pen you have to crawl through in order to get the key to the freezer is also "fun". With an ominous sign, the size of the tunnels which make no sense, and the horrible music in the place.

** Even to those that are not claustrophobic the build up to Specimen 10 can be pretty terrifying. You enter a dark sci-fi looking area that wouldn't look out of place in ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' or ''Film/{{Alien}}''. This mitigates a bit when the lights are turned on. However later in the area the lights go out again, and the only way forward is a vent with dried blood at the floor. When you enter the vent you can notice sounds while your crawling through the vent and walls of goop that you have to cut through. And when you finally leave the

* The fact that at least 4 people died from Specimen 1 attacks is seriously horrifying. Specimen 1 are nothing but cardboard cut-outs, after all.
