As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
Main Game
- The premise of the game. You and a group of plucky (mostly..) young people are making your way through the mountains when a combination of poor planning and a flash flood causes the group to turn to cannibalism to survive. Made much worse with The Reveal.
- The player character's various nightmares count, from being smothered and drowned, being cooked alive, escaping being cooked alive only to fall into a chasm to Hell and frying, being impaled in the eye with a red hot poker, and more.
- Their nightmare of drowning and sinking to the bottom of a lake is implied that they were predicting Mariah and later Anatoly's death.
- A day after Mariah leaves and subsequently goes missing, the player character scrounges up a cutlet of meat from somewhere and cooks it for the group. The other survivors quickly realize they're eating Mariah mid-meal but continue to eat her as they have nothing else. Doubles as a Tear Jerker.
- After eating Mariah, the player character comments on the group inevitably going to request more of the meat. Sure enough, the next morning, each party member sans the player dons a Nightmare Face when discussing Mariah's "disappearance", with Anatoly gaining two consistent ones as he begs for more of the meat for breakfast.
- The Reveal that the player character intended all along to kill and eat their guests. They have apparently been doing this for years, luring vulnerable and desperate people in need of a vacation or a meal.
- The game confirms that the reason that Karin, Mariah, Anatoli and Gregor were even in the woods in the first place was because they were trying to flee Ukraine during Holodomor
, a genocide that was committed via mass starvation caused by the Soviet Union, who would confiscate the food produced by Ukrainian farmers when they couldn't meet the unreasonably high quota.
Chompettes DLC
- The reveal that the Chompettes were a group of young children who discovered the cabin and used it as a hideout to try to evade a serial killer. It did nothing to help them.
- The nightmare in this section is of Raspberry (Ryna when she was human) encountering the serial killer, who proceeds to peel her face off.
- The Portuguese-speaking ghost inside the cabinet. Although they try to help Ryna, all we see of them is a horrific wide-open Slasher Smile.
- You can find and keep a meat cleaver from the kitchen (in order to do this, you must leave the kitchen after picking up the cleaver) to help defend against the killer (who the other characters insist at this point must have lost their trail). All it does is make the killer laugh at you before the entire group gets murdered.
- The Protagonist finds the Chompettes in their drawer and proceeds to leave them there until their minds break. It's also highly implied that Potato is the person who was about to kill them, leaving the children stuck with someone who tried to kill them for an undisclosed amount of time.
- While the additional ending to Nightmare Mode ends up being Heartwarming for almost everyone, it results in Mariah taking advantage of the Player Character's lowered guard (from their question being answered correctly) to stab them in the chest and taunt them as they die. The narration notes that at some point you can't answer Mariah because your lung has collapsed. Her Slasher Smile does not help. It can almost make the following epilogue come off as an Esoteric Happy Ending for a game that didn't really need it, especially considering that Dread Weight seems to confirm that Baba Yaga is still alive and killing people, making Mariah's efforts entirely pointless.
- The way to get to the new ending: You're awoken by the spirits of Anatoly, Mariah, Karin and Gregor who are in the living room. None of them have faces. They describe a ritual that will allow Mariah to live and the narration notes that the hatred and spite the ghosts have makes the ritual extremely dangerous. (The game also tells you that there is no going back and that it would be a good idea to save.) If you agree to do the ritual, it's described as you suddenly experiencing a searing, horrific pain as the game states that "something has gone horribly wrong" while Giygas-esque melting Nightmare Faces appear in the background.
