*CompleteMonster: ''The Supernatural Skeptic's Guide to New Orleans'' podcasts: In the legend of New Orleans, [[GreaterScopeVillain Quentin LaRouche]] was a sadistic slave owner who personally tortured and murdered his slaves, [[TortureCellar having a dungeon]] where he would commit his depraved acts while joking on painting his walls with the blood of the slaves. After his brutal deaths, it is said in local legend that [[GhastlyGhost LaRouche]]'s restless ghost [[TheCorrupter manipulating the Brill Family]] into [[SerialKiller brutally torturing and killing 12 people]], his story keeping everyone away from the house and deeply affecting the town.

Apparently my game just had some freak glitch in the AI; the entire area was not SUPPOSED to randomly go hostile as soon as I entered.


* TheWoobie: Casey, Casey, Casey. Where to begin.

His mother was not very close to him, he never knew his father, and his uncle, the one person who was a true parental figure in his life, died before the outbreak. Then, during the initial outbreak, Casey's squadmates opened fire on civilians, traumatizing Casey, who refused to fire at the civilians.]] Poor guy gets so much shit throughout his life.
* TutorialFailure: The walker guts sneaking mechanic is introduced very poorly, giving only a single tooltip explaining it... which only appears when looking down at a dead zombie, with a horde running at the player. Given that it's never been hinted at before and the player is very unlikely to be staring at random zombie corpses with a swarm of enemies approaching...

** Poor May. [[spoiler: She lost her husband because Georgia had it out for him, which led to May secretly working to undermine the Tower's plans with her gentle daughter, Ambre. While Henri's death is a morale blow, things start looking up for May when the Tourist starts helping her with her plan to save dozens of exiles from the wrath of the Tower. And how is she rewarded? The exiles in question turn on her, which results in Ambre dying and turning (and, [[MercyKill of course, the game makes you put her down]]). This ''completely shatters'' the poor woman, and when you find her after deciding what to do with the Reserve, she's ready to end it [[TakingYouWithMe and bring down everyone that wronged her in the process]] by ringing the church bells. She's too far gone to be talked down no matter what you say, and you or Casey have to put her out of her misery.]]

** A sidequest tasks you with delivering a letter from a Reclaimed scout to a Tower member. Said letter says [[spoiler: that he wants to leave both factions and get out of New Orleans. Upon giving the letter to them, they give you a response letter that reciprocates the idea. Complete the quest, and the two leave the city.]] Oh, and die we mention that the two are boyfriends? Even in the apocalypse, love thrives.

* NightmareFuel: It's Franchise/TheWalkingDead. In VR. Of course you're gonna see some nightmarish stuff.
** The walkers are especially creepy up close, even if only a couple at a time are relatively easy to take care of.
** Y'know how in VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII there's a cult that disembowels people while hanging them with their corpses on display? Well, that happens here, too, albeit without the disemboweling, and instead hanging them by their feet. It's not uncommon to come across so many hanging walkers, struggling to get free. [[VideoGameCaringPotential You CAN put them out of their misery, though.]]
** Walker's heads will continue to move if they're decapitated without having their brain destroyed.
** The streets are ''SWARMING'' with walkers upon the bells being rung.
** Casey's backstory. [[spoiler: Pressured by his squadmates to kill innocent people seeking aid, he's become a nervous wreck. Upon speaking to him about it, he mentions several small details, like a hat that reminded him of the hat his uncle wore that was shot off a man's head, a cross being splintered and torn apart by bullets, blood falling to the ground alongside the sounds of bodies hitting the ground, and how all but one of his squadmates seemed perfectly fine with what they were doing, with one of them SMILING.]] Poor guy's been through a lot.

** An early sidequest has you agree to put down a woman's husband, who's turned. She didn't have the courage to do it herself, and to make it worse, was unable to say goodbye to her children. [[spoiler: Upon finding him and killing him, you find a note that reveals that he [[WouldHurtAChild killed their children]].]] Upon returning to her, you can either tell her the blunt, and insanely painful truth and witness her break down, or lie to her about it.

* ThatOneLevel: Rampart High School has the layout of a standard high school, albeit with certain passages barricaded or collapsed. The issue with this is that this makes it a huge, nigh impossible to navigate maze. Even worse, the fact that it's nearly pitch black makes just going through the stage a terrifying prospect for anyone with a fear of the dark. Add onto that the fact that you can easily be jumpscared by walkers busting down one of the many, many doors on the stage makes for a tense, albeit obnoxious and difficult level.

*** Just speaking to Casey about this is enough to make you choke up. He's on the verge of breaking down the whole time you speak to him, speaking about how horrible the experience was. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments That being said, you can hear him out, help him get stuff off his chest, and help him move on.]]

** [[spoiler: Casey's backstory, while absolutely horrific, is also very touching when it comes to how his friend Kenneth and you, the player, can choose to talk to him about it. The conversation you have with Kenneth gives the details, and speaking with Casey afterward is essentially you being a therapist to him. You can let him get a lot of stuff off his chest, and the relief he feels, even if he doesn't outright say it, is palpable, especially if you emphasize that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre the events leading up to him and his squad holing up in the Reserve are not his fault]].]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Even in the post-apocalypse, there are still some moments that will make you smile.
** Ambre's drawings, when they aren't giving information you need to progress forward, are usually just simple, well done drawings that show Ambre as a sweet, caring kid with some real artistic talent. Heck, the first drawing they give you is one of them smiling, and waving. [[spoiler: [[TearJerker It makes what their eventual fate is all the more heart-rending.]]]]
*** Adding to that, they also leave drawings of a cat that's implied to be their pet, a drawing of Henri, May, and Ambre having dinner together, and several more.
** Throughout the main story, you'll be left some small gifts occasionally, usually in the form of food or medicine. It's heavily implied that these are from May and Ambre, as sometimes they are accompanied by a drawing.
** [[spoiler: The ending in which Casey survives. He finally leaves the Reserve, and while he is scared to move forward, knowing how messed up the world is, he's still relatively hopeful. And even better, you can send him off with some words of encouragement.]]

* TearJerker: It's The Walking Dead. This series' most famous video game outing has some of the most painful moments ever in video game narratives. Of course this one is gonna make you cry.

[[spoiler: Upon finding him and killing him, you find a note that reveals that he [[WouldHurtAChild killed their children]].]] Upon returning to her, you can either tell her the blunt, and insanely painful truth and witness her break down, or lie to her about it.
** Another sidequest involves a group of Tower soldiers asking you to find and rescue one of their brothers, who was kidnapped by Reclaimed. [[spoiler: The reason they kidnapped him was because he killed their leader's eleven year old daughter after she refused to be exiled.]] Both sides are morally grey in their actions. One has a very real reason to want the other dead, whilst the other is rightfully terrified and insistent that he was JustFollowingOrders and that it would have been done regardless. It's up to you to decide how this one ends.
** Casey's backstory. [[spoiler: He and his squad killed several civilians that were rushing to the Reserve, against his wishes, and locked themselves inside. Upon everyone but Casey leaving the Reserve, all but one of them, Kenneth, parted with him on bad terms due to his disdain over their decision.]] He is still massively in shock over this, and is clearly a nervous wreck because of it.
