I got scraped.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- A boarded-up doorway which you can chainsaw through. You find yourself in a puke-green hallway with black stains all over the walls. At the end of the hallway? A giant Uboa-lookalike that sits on a bed and laughs creepily at you. Here's a video.
And then (in some versions) there's what happens when you use the Telephone effect.- The creepy clown inside a circus tent. (video link)
Uh-Heeeee-hee-heeheeh-hee...! - The creepy clown inside a circus tent. (video link
- This... thing from this video: a bloody and horribly disfigured face whose jaw moves up and down while it makes a noise. To make things worse, it appears in the Dark Museum, so it might serve as a sort of Jump Scare to people who aren't expecting it.
- The room with a large, monochrome image of a boy staring at you from water (seen in this video at around 3:30) is somewhat unsettling. It also sometimes morphs into a red version with multiple eyes and a smile.
- The Library is chock-full of unnerving literature, including snippets of macabre Word Salad Philosophy, disturbing diaries, a record of an experimental psychiatric treatment Gone Horribly Wrong, and murder scene photo that names the victim HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA and ends in garbled text.
- Pictured above is Surimuki, whose note can be found in the Library. Creepy high-pitched giggling accompanies the image, and the text translates to "I got scraped". Judging by the fact that Surimuki's head has a chip in it and can be found buried in Broken Faces World, the text can be interpreted as a death notice, or, even worse, a suicide note.
- The Hallucination event in the Laboratory. If you kill the head scientist, the other scientists will chase after you, stick you in a test room behind a glass wall, and give you a hallucinogen that triggers frantically moving characters, neon patterns, and trippy music to appear. While you can move, you can't use any effects, and the only way to end the experiment is to walk up to and interact with the glass. Doing so will cause Urotsuki to bash her head against the glass wall hard enough to draw blood, and she keeps doing so until she falls unconscious.
- The Flesh Paths World is arguably the most disturbing area in the game. Nightmare Face abound in the form of the portals, some other very twisted imagery including a terrifying long-necked Toriningen lookalike and one of the most discomforting music tracks in the game.
- The Blood Sacrifice event in the Blood World. If you step into the largest pool of blood in Blood World and chainsaw the white rooted creature that can be found in front of the blood sacrifice table will cause the room to become dark and make the music slightly more disturbing. Ghosts will swarm Urotsuki and inhibit her motion while Scary Faces pursue her. If they catch her, the screen fades to black, and Urotsuki wakes up.
- The Magnet Room houses the Zalgo event, which can be accessed by finding the fenced-off section of wall with a crevice in it, and heading directly south from the crevice's position in the wall. Continue south and run into the north face of the blue cube. It should push you over the barrier and into the enclosed area with the crevice. After entering the crevice, the Zalgo event starts. In the background is a distorted face which gets even more distorted the more time you spend in the area. You'll want to immediately begin traveling northwest, as there is a limited time before Urotsuki is transported out of the area and dropped off at the Intestines Maze. Note that the Motorcycle effect cannot be equipped here, as well as the background changing hence its name. Interacting with the dark gray teleporter (located in a bloody area a good distance northwest of the entry point) will bring you into a black room with a large NPC and rain.
- The Broken Faces Area. This area is filled with blood splatters and distorted facial imagery. Surimuki (a.k.a. Scraped Girl)'s half-buried head can be found in here, right beside the Marginal Vivid Worker (a.k.a. Strangler Eyes). Both can also be found in the Library.
- The Graveyard World is a large scrolling world containing many tombstones and weird red, blue, and purple monsters dancing around in various formations, along with a number of large colorful suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) with googly eyes that follow your movements. The Background Music in this area has a disturbing "wonky" melody that keeps changing pitch.
- The Monochrome Path, the Fused Faces World's "realistic event" and Hadean Path section of the Alien Valley are filled with Body Horror akin to or even worse than the White Desert in Nikki.
- The TV Room can have some disturbing channels. What makes it more unnerving is that you won't know if you'll get a creepy channel until you sit down and watch the TV, as the channel that plays is selected at random.
- Channel 2 features a seemingly hanged girl with pale skin and long black hair draped over her face on a dark red background, all while an insanely disturbing music loop plays.
- In channel 6, a shadowy Urotsuki holding a bloody chainsaw stands in front of a background scrolling red hiragana symbols (Japanese symbols for screaming, associated with several events in Yume Nikki) while a digitized drone plays.
- Channel 8 features a distorted, warping girl with long hair and bleeding red eyes. The Background Music is a loud and distorted drum loop.
- Channel 10 features a floating Urotsuki covered in holes. It's best advised that those with trypophobia stay away from this one.
- Channel 11 has a floating, red, disemboweled ghost vanish in and out of sight. The lullaby-like soundtrack doesn't help matters, though whether it the mood of it is soothing or disturbing is up for one to decide.
- In channel 15, a strange blue lady with a kimono and red eyes all over her face and neck stands in front of a colorful background with shifting colors while a deranged-sounding music loop plays.
- Chasers are the standard enemies of the game, who chase you around and transport you to secluded areas, much like Yume Nikki's Toriningen. They wouldn't be so bad if the majority of them weren't shadows with glowing red eyes. It gets especially nerve-wracking if you're in an area with a chaser that just so happens to be a Blackout Basement, since you will have no idea if one of them is nearby or not.
- Everything about the Underwater Amusement Park:
- First and foremost, there are many children around, but There Are No Adults. This makes the entire place feel very off, since there is nobody is supervising the kids' activities.
- There is also a hidden room where you may encounter a girl who vomits blood.
- What is most remembered about the place, though, is the clown section. It starts off as a dark checkered path with a loud and off-tune guitar playing in the background. Some clowns can be found towards the entrance of the next area, the dungeon. Once you enter it, you get locked in. If you continue from there on, you'll see the children from outside in cages with statues of the various Chasers in the game on them. Go deeper into the dungeon, and the children will vanish and eventually be replaced with skeletons. At the bottom floor of the dungeon, you may enter a door where you'll fall on a pillar next to two children, who get crushed by the pillars they are sitting on. Before long, you are smashed to bits, too, forcing you to wake up.
- Neon City is a vibrant area full of colorful creatures. Its music, however, is anything but, consisting of loud screeches and dark atmospheric sounds. There is also a blood-red path filled with Body Horror accessed from a certain location from the place, and a chance to encounter It Came From Behind, a black floating creature that is a direct reference to Takofuusen from Yume Nikki. Thankfully, it means no harm, and simply floats across the screen. It has a 1 in 2500 chance of appearing, so wary players must stay on their toes.
- The Hospital isn't scary on its own, but the NPCs in patient rooms all have varying degrees of Body Horror. The Hospital Outskirts area is also rather creepy, thanks to its eerie music, distorted warping background, and event that causes random body parts to appear on the floor.
- Any Blackout Basement may qualify, such as the Dark Museum mentioned above, but there are two that are especially terrifying:
- The Dark Warehouse is procedurally-generated, meaning that it will be different every time you visit it. Oh, and there is a shadow lady chaser that randomly spawns.
- The Infinite Library is another example, where you must follow the sound of a soothing music box in a looping library maze in pitch-black darkness in order to reach a new area. Unlike the Dark Warehouse, where the chaser randomly appears, there is ALWAYS a single chaser in the place. Of course, you may use the Lantern effect to see better, but that will make it easier for the chaser to catch you, and when it does, the screen will briefly flash red with a loud static sound as the music stops and the lights turn on.
- Guts World is a gruesome and bloody world accompanied by a Drone of Dread. There are lots of blood pools lying on the ground, and there are strange floating humanoid creatures with blood on their faces. Even more disturbing are the random organs and guts strewn on the ground, which fall squarely into the uncanny valley due to looking more realistic in contrast to the more pixelated style of the rest of the area.
- Urotsuki's TV and computer are functional and innocuous while she's awake. While she's asleep, they show randomly-chosen images that are surreal at best and terrifying at worst. Examining either one has a good chance of giving you a Jump Scare.
- One notable TV image is a crayon drawing of Urotsuki, some scenery, and a boy and girl that resemble nobody else in the dream world. There's smiles all around, except for a single frowning hill. Seems happy enough...but half a second later, the image changes. The boy and girl are scribbled out, the sky is grey, the clouds are vomiting blood, and the frowning hill is crying. All while Urotsuki still has her sleepy-eyed half-smile. It raises a lot of questions about Urotsuki's life and state of mind, none of which are pleasant...
- The Colossus of Rhomb event. If you meet certain criteria, you may step across the previously-blocked path in the left side of Square-Square World. Once you do, ominous music starts to play, and fog will cover the screen as a new section of the path is revealed. If you keep walking on the path, you will find a massive shadowy figure at its end. It turns out to be a creepy realistic-looking giant, who stares at you and causes the dream to end.
- Red City is a dark city with red buildings, lots of fog, and a very unsettling soundtrack. There is also a hanged man in one of the buildings.
- From one of the buildings, you can reach the very surreal Head Wasteland, where massive, red, and realistic heads lay on the ground, shadowy humanoid silhouettes float above large cones, and red eye-shaped UFOs mark the end of the path.
- From Concrete World B, we have this song, a series of unnerving drones with a somewhat oriental flair, creating a sense of fear and desolation as you explore the rather barren area.
- Some of creator wataru's worlds are notable for being quite desolate and, as a result, terrifying. The most notable world that fits this criteria is the Overgrown City, a dark, abandoned city that has been reclaimed by nature, causing plants to grow over the houses without a soul in sight save for a single black cat. The music in the areas is also creepy, including an electronic drone in the town area that is just somewhat off, a depressing and menacing piano loop for the city section, and dark, quiet ambience for the deeper parts of the area, all of which add to the area's feeling of isolation. Finally, there is a structure dubbed "The Thing That Ended the World", which is a massive statue with a metal ball for a head. The structure looks imposing enough, but the name brings up a good question: what exactly caused this city to be abandoned in the first place?
- The Buddha Faces Labyrinth is an area filled with unsettling Buddha faces with completely black eyes and mouths opening and closing, along with a creepy electronic drone in the background. The Buddha faces are possibly laughing at Urotsuki, due to their mouth movements combined with the background music.
- Mutant Pig Farm is, as the name implies, filled with horrifically mutated massive pigs.
