Tear Jerker / Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion

Go To

  • Despite all of Spooky's wrongdoings, you can't help but feel sorry for her as she died young and never got to live out the rest of her life.
  • The backstory of Specimen 6: he used to be a merchant who sold puppets to children which caused the other shopkeepers to become jealous of him with them going as far as to throw his puppets in the water and despite his best efforts to "save" his "children" he drowned and became a puppet himself.
  • Spooky's Father in a nutshell, he was happy with his wife and daughter until the day his PTSD kicked in which caused him to kill Spooky. He was so desperate to see his daughter again to the point where he indirectly tortured the souls of other deceased children and even framed a homeless man for the crime, given by the notes he written, it seems that he was very remorseful for that night with his wife dying sometime after their daughter's death.
  • The backstory of Monster 4: It used to be a regular person who was presumably a victim of the Karamari Hospital staff's cruelty with it being implied that it ate its own family and most likely hanged itself in regret.
  • Woormy Charles and the Husks are confirmed to have been experimented on by GL Labs with them being in pain with other victims such as the Hooked Doll who was pierced with several hooks and presumably Specimen 2 as well.
  • The death of Spooky's mother, Monica is implied to have affected Spooky greatly with the player's doll crying when nearby Monica's grave and given the theory that the doll was the doll meant to house Spooky's ghost, it's safe to say that Spooky genuinely missed her mother.
  • Specimen 9's past: It was a normal human being who was among those experimented on by Japan during World War 2 with it most likely experiencing immense pain and misery before presumably finally dying with it eventually being found by GL Labs and getting killed again after it was deemed the most unstable and dangerous Specimen.
  • Specimen 8, he was once a human who offered himself to the deity Bayagototh in exchange for food for his family. The fact that Specimen 8 also used to be an innocent human transformed into a monster like Specimen 6, Specimen 9, and Monster 4 is heartbreaking in itself.
