Tear Jerker / Ben and Ed

Go To

  • The ending. After facing many obstacles, completing trials, and defeating Hans Showman, Ed reaches Ben and embraces him... only to devour him after the player follows a "Press 'E' to celebrate!" prompt, revealing that the boy he worked so hard to reach was nothing more than a meal.
  • Bencalypse. In this Playable Epilogue of sorts, you start out playing as Ben, who is now a zombie. In sharp contrast to the normal game, which has high energy music, crowds cheering and Ed running around in colourful levels, Bencalypse mode is much darker and quieter, with somber music and almost nothing in Ben's way other than harmless humans, and even then that oh-so-familiar "Press 'E' to celebrate!" prompt comes up.
