*SensorSuspense: In the same way ''Franchise/SilentHill'' monsters are heralded by audio static, the Nun's presence is warned by visual static. You'd think this would make the game less scary by giving the monster's location away, but it makes it ''even scarier'', knowing the Nun is close to you but not knowing exactly where.

''Nun Massacre'', or ''Night of the Nun'' as a more advertiser-friendly title, is another installment in the Creator/PuppetCombo series.
Mrs. [=McDonnell=] receives dire news; her young daughter Janie has fallen ill. She travels to the Catholic boarding school she's enrolled in to see her personally. But the school is mysteriously empty, inhabited only by a monstrous, bloodthirsty nun.
The more notes the player reads, the more it becomes clear that Janie was subjected to utterly inhuman conditions by the school's staff, reframing the simple slasher premise as a psychological journey through [=Mrs. McDonnell=]'s guilt-ridden psyche.

!!''Nun Massacre'' shows examples of:
*AxCrazy: The Nun runs around shrieking at the top of her lungs, stabbing everyone she sees.
*BoardingSchoolOfHorrors: St. Cecilia's Preparatory School is this in two ways. Mundanely speaking, its staff are emotionally, verbally, physically, and sexually abusive to its students. Supernaturally speaking, it's haunted by a murderous nun.
*DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied Janie killed herself, unable to stomach the boarding school's abuse.]]
**[[spoiler:And in one of the endings, her mother kills herself as well, unable to bear the guilt.]]
*EyeScream: The Nun's eyes are gouged out.
