* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Not only is Hans's background similar to both versions of the Cannibal Boy story, he also talks about special kinds of meat he can eat and evil spirits, implying he may be a cannibal too. Though the special kind of meat also seems to refer to Brucie's meat in a sexual way. However, none of the dialogue confirms this and it's possible that Brucie's serial cannibalism and Hans's backstory somehow got mixed up in all the retellings of the Cannibal Boy story.]]

[[spoiler:But she's also crazy about Brucie, to the point where she considers killing Jade when she suspects the latter is in a relationship with him.

This is despite having romantic feelings for both of them. Jade implies that Brucie sees eating others as [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence equivalent to having sex with them]].]]

This is a part of the ''VideoGame/PhysicalExorcismSeries'' and a prequel to ''VideoGame/PhysicalExorcismCase01'', showing Brucie and Jadrienne as university students studying for finals with their friend, James. There's an urban legend floating around about a cannibal who will target those who heard a version of the legend, but neglects to pass it on to someone else. James and Jade insist on sharing these stories to pass the time, but then Jade tells a horror story that seems to involve both her and Brucie, along with two of their old classmates, Han and Grete.

!This work contains examples of:
* AbusiveParents: In one version of the Cannibal Boy's story, the boy's father turned abusive after his wife left. Since the boy looked a lot like his mother, the father forced him to eat lots of meat to become more manly. When the sister defended him, she got abused too, to the point of implied rape. [[spoiler:This is implied to be Hans and Grete's father.]]
* AloneWithThePsycho: [[spoiler:In the ending, James is in a room alone with a cannibal and a manipulative psychic who is about to enjoy watching him get eaten.]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Not only is Hans's background similar to both versions of the Cannibal Boy story, he also talks about special kinds of meat he can eat and evil spirits, implying he may be a cannibal too. However, none of the dialogue confirms this and it's possible that Brucie's serial cannibalism and Hans's backstory somehow got mixed up in all the retellings of the Cannibal Boy story.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: Deconstructed. Grete faced enormous psychological pressure from martyring herself to protect Hans from both bullies and their abusive father. [[spoiler:After Jade reveals to her that Hans is in a relationship with her crush, Brucie, Grete snaps.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to ''Case 01'', this work is much darker, with Brucie and Jade's implied villainy from the previous game being revealed in more detail, [[spoiler:especially the parts where Brucie, the protagonist, eats his friends]].
* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:Brucie shows romantic affection for both Hans and Grete, though mostly Hans. He also enjoys eating them both.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:After Jade tells a story based on Bruce's cannibalism, Bruce decides to create a real horror story by eating James. Cue credits.]]
* DramaticIrony: This takes place before ''Case 01'', so Bruce has no idea that Jade has telepathic powers[[spoiler:, which is why he's surprised that she knows his interactions with Hans and Grete in fine detail]].
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:When Grete feeds Hans to Brucie, she didn't expect Brucie to immediately strangle her and eat her too.]]
* FairytaleMotifs: Hans and Grete are based on Hansel and Gretel. [[spoiler:The cannibalism aspect of the story comes into play when Grete kills Hans and feeds him to Brucie.]]
* MultipleChoicePast: There are multiple retellings of the Cannibal Boy's past. [[spoiler:As a twist, it's implied both versions of the story are based on Hans and Grete.]]
** James's version has him being forced to eat meat by his abusive father. His sister defended him from both their father and bullies, but the stress resulted in her committing murder-suicide with their father. This causes the boy to become an AxCrazy KnightTemplar who blames everything on evil spirits and seeks to free people from evil spirits by eating them.
** Jade's version is simpler, with the boy always locked out onto the balcony. This causes him to become an evil spirit who knocks on other people's windows, only to eat them once the window is open. [[spoiler:This is one of the ways Hans's father would abuse him.]]
