Nightmare Fuel / Food Fantasy

Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Ah, yes. Food Fantasy, that delightful mobile game about Body Horror, human sacrifice and serial killers... wait what.

Just because Food Fantasy is a fun mobile RPG game with a cast of personified food doesn't mean that it is without its fair share of horrors.

Main Game

• Black Pudding, full stop. She might seem like a devoted nurse, sometimes a little too intense and clingy. Then you find out her backstory, making her the biggest manipulative bitch of the series, turning her previous Master Attendant into a serial killer or encouraging Stargazy Pie's violent tendencies. Unlike most evil Food Souls like Spaghetti, Whisky, Cordyceps or Bloody Mary, she has no Freudian Excuse or Start of Darkness....she just acts out of her desire to have a companion who's as morbid as her.
  "A smile revealed in the darkness is part of my nature."
  • In one of her lines, she sounds disappointed that the Master Attendant is "too nice" and encourages him/her to "just do whatever your heart desires". Then you realize this is what happened to her previous Master Attendant, as she infected his wife with an incurable illness in order to provoke him into becoming a serial killer, because she thought he was "kind and boring".]] [[Fridge Horror Who knows what she would do to the current Master Attendant in the future....
• Whisky seems like an affable traveling merchant, but actually he's an alchemist and responsible for multiple disasters in other Food Souls backstories. Not only did he experiment on Pizza and kill his and Cheese's Master Attendants, but he is also responsible for the Sakurajima plague and the destruction of Pizza's kingdom. All because he's obsessed with reviving a princess that was indirectly killed by the actions of his previous Master Attendant.
  • Also unlike most characters you pledge with, he does not get better at all. He will continue doing his shady business in order to revive Lilia.
  • "No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side. So....do you understand? You can't leave this place Master Attendant. You. Can't. Leave. Me." In the Japanese audio, it sounds like he's pleading the Master Attendant to always stay at his side. In the Chinese audio it sounds like a warning instead.
• After defeating your main team, Boston Lobster proceeds to strangle his current Master Attendant to death.
• Chisui Moth Tea and Cordyceps, full stop. Due to being experimented in the past, their bodies are slowly turning into wood, especially the former, whose extremities have been overtaken completely. Moth Tea used to be a little girl, but due to the experiments she looks like an adult woman....a woman with the mind of a child that throws temper tantrums at the drop of a hat. While Cordyceps has the power to control parasitic bugs that turn people into mindless zombies.
  • Even if the Master Attendant marries them, they still don't completely trust he/she won't betray them. Cordyceps is considering infesting him/her with his insects. While Moth Tea will casually threat the Master Attendant with murder if he/she ever leaves her. As she phrases it:
    "But if one day you turn your back on me, I'll still be able to make your life a living hell!"
• Century Egg is severely traumatized due to what his previous Master Attendant did to him and has huge abandonment issues. While he's very quiet and loyal, if he's left idle he starts freaking out at the thought of the Master Attendant leaving him. If he's left idle for too long, he's considering murdering them in order to avoid being alone.
  "It's fine... I can still take away Master Attendant's last breath... That way, I won't be alone..."
• Lutefisk's body emanates corrosive liquids whenever he's angry, causing him to shun human touch for fear of hurting others and being forced to teach a bunch of jar specimens, as corpses are unnafected by his substance. . This obviously took a toll on his sanity, as he switches from calm to psychotic rage at the drop of a hat. If the Master Attendant marries him, it's heavily implied he wants to kill him/her so that they won't be affected by his substance and so they can be together forever.
  "Ah, nobody looks at me......Why, why there's no one...why...why...WHY!!"
• In one of his English Intimacy lines, Sweet Tofu compares the Master Attendant to a kitten shivering in the cold, prompting others to shower them with love and how he can't bear to see them go through suffering. In the Japanese version of said line, he talks about strangling the kitten instead.

Character Backstories

• The fact that Humans Are Bastards in Food Fantasy, where there are more selfish and cruel people in the world than kind, noble and selfless ones. To the point they caused most of the traumas and issues the Food Souls have in the present.
• Black Pudding manipulated her previous Master Attendant into becoming a serial killer by infecting his wife with a deadly illness. The reason? She was disgusted by him being so kind and compassionate and wanted to make him as "morbid" as her.
• In Milt's backstory, after healing her Master Attendant with her own flesh, the whole village surrounded her with the intention on eating her.
• Peking Duck's response to his Master Attendant's wrongful execution for refusing to cover up deaths for a cult. He infiltrates a criminal organization and proceeds to rise up the top. Afterwards he burns a city to the ground to avenge his Master Attendant.
  • Earlier on, Peking Duck recognizes one of the cult's sacrifices as a little girl who used to ask him about his ducks.
• Although he had no idea how much damage he was doing, the fact that Realgar Wine used to be part of the cult and made drugs for them. Apparently some higher ups were talking about their next destination being Sakurajima. Let that sink in for a while. The fact that Peking Duck blew up the city was in fact a good thing.
• Sukiyaki finally gets to see the book that his Master Attendant's daughter was always carrying around while trying to cure the Sakurajima plague. On the cover was a design with two black snakes on it. Once he asked her about it, she said it used to belong to a traveling merchant. Meaning that Whisky was using her as an Unwitting Pawn.
• The reveal that the Tofu Twins' Master Attendant was a serial killer and was planning on either killing them or framing them for the murders. At first he seemed like a normal old man who ran a restaurant but after he had lost a cooking competition, something in him snapped. From then on, his pleasant demeanor was just an act that he would put in front of the customers. If there were any who complained about his cooking or tried to get a free meal out him, he would bring them into a box in the back of the kitchen for an "apology". One day, he notices Sweet Tofu using a specially made drug on a Fallen Angel to protect himself, a drug that is deadly to Food Souls. The MA then makes Sweet Tofu basically poison any customer who was supposed to receive an apology. Despite knowing how wrong it was, Sweet Tofu had no choice but to follow orders as otherwise the drug would probably end up in his brother's food. After Sweet Tofu made up a story about a special ingredient not far away to get Salty out of there, he began to carry out a plan to save both of them from becoming either scapegoats or their MA's next victims. Eventually the authorities came to to the restaurant, causing the MA to go ballistic and begin slaughtering them. Sometime after the slaughter fest, Sweet Tofu kills his MA by stabbing him through the chest with a knife.
  • The box is revealed to be the cold storage where the MA would keep the dead bodies of his victims.
  • On Salty Tofu's end of the story, he realizes that the story is fake and rushes back to the restaurant. The backstory then gives us a delightful description of aftermath. Needless to say, he is horrified. What certainly doesn't help is how Sweet Tofu is just sitting in the restaurant. Smiling.
• A fairly shocking example in Sushi's backstory (at least in the original version), especially considering how her little brother's one was fairly lighthearted. Once she overhears how Dorayaki doesn't like Sashimi, she considers impaling him through the chest. Thankfully, she doesn't go through with it and the translated version lightened it to just wanting to give him a good beating.
• Whisky's backstory. His previous Master Attendant manipulated his patient, a sick princess that was kept in isolation, to resent her healthy twin, Lilia. One day she had enough and with the help of the doctor she killed her parents, locked Lilia and took her place as the new queen. Whisky was ordered to poison Lilia, but he was impressed by her remaining optimistic, upbeat and cheerful, despite the fact her sister locked her up and took her place. Sometime later the kingdom fell into ruin and Lilia was killed by angry peasants who mistook her for her sister. Causing Whisky to lament how unfair her life was and to become obsessed with reviving her.....whatever it takes.
• Century Egg was buried alive inside his previous Master Attendant's tomb, under the belief he wanted to keep his Food Soul in the afterlife. This resulted in him being traumatized and with huge abandonment issues. What makes this worse? Century Egg doesn't know. He simply believes his master betrayed him in the most cruel way possible after years of servitude.
• The fact that had not Coffee stopped him, Chocolate would have killed his Master Attendant's lover, his mistress, and their children.
• Nasi Lemak's Master Attendant killing her husband and his mistress and convincing her that you had to do whatever it takes to be with someone forever. This is the reason for her Yandere personality.
