History YMMV / TheGrayGarden

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9KXonaglSk Sunspot Beam (Guitar Version)]], which plays over the end credits [[spoiler:of the [[GoldenEnding Good Ending]]]].

* DracoInLeatherPants: Emalf. And Ivlis, after ''The Sun's Curse''.

* GoddamnedBats: You have the option of not fighting them, but they will be a nuisance as you walk through the narrows paths on the maps. Aside from the bats, there are other kinds of flame demons and animals like crows, lambs, and rabbits.

* NightmareFace: Invoked by Rawberry for several of her attacks, but also when [[spoiler:she turns on Macarona and eats her alive in Bad End 3. The ''Raspel's Secret'' bonus video makes it apparent that it's a familial trait]].

* LesYay: Very prevalent among the main girls. They can easily be coupled up into Yosafire/Froze, Macarona/Rawberry, and Dialo/Chelan, and for each pair, the girls' likes in their Bonus Room profiles are stated to be each other. Yosafire/Froze is the most obvious example of this, as Yosafire explicitly states she wants to be Froze's girlfriend and how she has no interest in anyone but Froze. Froze's {{Tsundere}} tendencies and her WhenSheSmiles moments towards Yosafire help fuel the ship as well. Other than that, Dialo/Chelan are very friendly as they are the only pair who live together.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Deep-Sea Prisoner has officially rated the game for all ages, but there are [[PrecisionFStrike uses of the words]] "boobs" and "hell" (and in the Japanese version, one of Yosafire's insulting nicknames for Emalf is "''kuso'' gurasan")[[spoiler:, and the deaths in game are quite (if not quite) bloody]].

* CrossoverShip: Ivlis''/''[[VideoGame/MogekoCastle Yonaka]] has a [[CrackPairing following]]. The usual rationale is either that it's still better than any of their canon options (neither of them is a {{Yandere}} and [[IncestIsRelative they're not related]]) or that Ivlis is the least [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapey]] Creator/DeepSeaPrisoner villain, instead motivated by the same wrath and suffering that makes Yonaka a NominalHero.

* ThatOneLevel: [[spoiler: Running from Emalf and his army of flame bats is a guessing game of trial-and-error, through a large maze to boot. Get caught on a corner or lag for a second and you're guaranteed to get caught. Then you'll have to restart from the beginning, but not before having to get through a cutscene every single time.]]

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Yosafire/Froze = Yosafroze.

* CreepyCute: Rawberry's abilities invoke this aspect of her character purposefully, ForMassiveDamage.

* [[GoddamnedBats Goddamned Flaming Bats]]: You have the option of not fighting them, but they will be a nuisance as you walk through the narrows paths on the maps. Aside from the bats, there are other kinds of flame demons and animals like crows, lambs, and rabbits.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9KXonaglSk Sunspot Beam (Guitar Version)]], which plays over the end credits [[spoiler:of the [[GoldenEnding Good Ending]]]].

* HarsherInHindsight: Ivlis '''snaps''' after Kcalb takes [[spoiler: his powers back from him, to the point that in the Normal Ending, he kills everyone but Etihw and destroys the Grey Garden out of pettiness. After ''The Sun's Curse'' was aired, well...we know now why Ivlis was so desperate for becoming powerful.]]

* DracoInLeatherPants: Emalf.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** The existence of the Gray Garden itself. A world where God, the Devil and all of their underlings are able to peacefully co-exist. Also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
** The scene where Emalf [[spoiler:tries to stab Yosafire. First Froze gets an awesome TakingTheBullet moment to save her best friend, then Yosafire gets one for [[AFriendInNeed blindly jumping after her... and flying despite her crippling phobia]]. And then Macarona rounds it out by entering TranquilFury, giving Emalf a ReasonYouSuckSpeech, and handing him his ass. Solo]].
** Etihw's [[spoiler:BigDamnHeroes moment during the GoodEnding. Kcalb grievously injured, Yosafire and co. knocked down - it would take a God to stop the demons now! "''You rang''?"]]

* NightmareFuel:
** The second scene between Yosafire and Froze in the flower garden, where [[spoiler:Froze enters to find Yosafire covered in blood and on the brink of death]].
** [[spoiler: Raspbel's Secret]] reveals more than you probably wanted to know about her.
*** Similarly, [[spoiler:[[IAmAHumanitarian what Rawberry does to Macarona]] in Bad End 3]].
** The Flame Demons seem to take torture, murder, and [[spoiler:AttemptedRape (if Yosafire's reaction when Ivlis has her in his grasp is any indication)]] in their stride, the youngest amongst them (Poemi) even acting as a TortureTechnician [[spoiler:during Bad End 2]].

* TearJerker:
** [[spoiler: The normal ending. It's even worse if you get it on your first try, without meaning to.]]
** The scene where Kcalb [[spoiler:asks Yosafire why she bothered saving him. The very fact he ''asked'' is extremely sad]].
** The flashback showing just why Yosafire is so afraid of flying. It's short, but seeing [[spoiler:[[GenkiGirl the most consistently cheery girl in the cast]] crumpled on the ground with her horn snapped in half]] is easily the saddest thing shown that far.
