If there's one constant thing in the Infinity Train: Blossomverse aside from the catharsis, the deconstruction, the adventure and the friends that were made along the way, is that there is horror lurking within every car.
Lots and LOTS of horror.
Main Trilogy
- Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail
- Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily
- Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria
Spin-offs
In General
- The Fog Car aka Silent Hill on the Infinity Train. Just like the game it's based on, the Fog Car is home to a darkness that prays on your soul. And you don't conquer it, you survive it in order to get your number to drop to zero. It's explored twice in the original trilogy.
Chrysanthemum Shepherd
- Alex Shepherd's transformation into the denizen he is now is horrifying. He was once a normal human sucked in, and One-One (rather One) coldly tells him that he was prophesized into becoming the Bogeyman. ripping out Alex's heart all by stating that he has to do all he can to stop a future threat (the Apex)Alex: I'd rather die than go with your fucked up prophecy!
One: It is very interesting you mention death. Because…
(One's tendrils swiftly ran into Alex's chest.)
One: The prophecy requires your demise.
(Cue One ripping Alex's heart out of his chest)- The ending of the story reveals that he's remembering this while Specter is being tortured and his only thought while he's making tea and brownies is to give his captive something good if he promises to never hurt a denizen ever again...but the question is did Specter really attack Easter or is it just him losing his mind and Alex is actually attacking a schizophrenic for no good reason?
- The nonchalant way Alex remembers and then brushes off how he was turned into a puppet for One to enact vengeance. It's like he's recalling a distant memory and shrugging it off.
- And then there's the Exact Words about what happened: passengers who die on the Train get reincarnated. So One forced Alex to enter the Train and then killed him to ensure he got the Bogeyman.
Infinity Train: Court of Cyclamen
- One-One hasn't lost all of his ruthlessness from his days as One - it turns out he's not above manipulating Chloe's journey and outright lying about what happened to Bede in order to ensure Chloe grows the way he needs her to.
- One that crosses with Fridge Horror, just how many passengers have tried killing themselves while on the Train, having given up on going home or understanding what their numbers mean? Especially since this was during a time that Amelia decided "Okay everyone, you're on your own. Don't mind me."
- Boscha Urodela is more terrifying here than she was in Infinity Train: Boiling Point as she has no qualms destroying Chloe in a challenge, having access to more magic and tearing through Chloe's demons like wet tissue.
- The fact that Chloe's monsters include one that summons floods, one that summons artillery covered fortresses, one that sets anything ablaze and a Sea Monster. If Chloe really wanted to inflict damage, she has no shortage of demons at her disposal.
- Looper-Satoko was behind the deletion if the Infinigram posts and, while it's good thing that Eua isn't there to muck things up, Chloe defeats her by using Ose to put her in a Lotus-Eater Machine, keeping her in a world where she's with Rika forever. Chloe did note that she put a loophole that Satoko can change if she wakes up, but given how stubborn and in denial Looper-Satoko is, she'll sleep forever and never wake up and thus will become reincarnated as a denizen.Good-One: Good for her!
