YMMV / View from Below

• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • How much does the Crimson God actually care about Delilah? On one hand, he does seem to feel sorry for her when she's shot and killed. On the other hand, he's the one who tempted her into evil in the first place and he treats her soul pieces, Iris and Rose, as mere pawns.
  • The Crimson God doesn't directly punish his followers for taking too long to capture Ash. While this can be seen as Even Evil Has Standards, it can also be seen as Pragmatic Villainy, since the Crimson God is running both the Crimson Skulls and Pieties, allowing him to turn the mortals' quest into a suicide mission in his favor and win even if the Crimson Skulls fail. On the other hand, it's surprising he isn't more punishing towards his minions for failing to protect his soul pieces, which weakens him to the point where two mortals can kill him. On the third hand, by tying their lives to Rose, he ensures that they're automatically punished if they bungle their jobs hard enough to let their leader die.
• Catharsis Factor: The Crimson Skulls are a bunch of sadistic jerkasses who terrorize the residents of Below in their quest for human sacrifices, making it satisfying to kill them. This is especially true in Chapter 5, where the previously cowardly Ash charges into their base and kills their leader, resulting in all of them turning to ash.
• Complacent Gaming Syndrome: The Blessed Ring accessory is probably going to be the most used, since it increases the rather low accuracy of normal attacks and gives the player a cost efficient way to deal damage.
• Fridge Horror:
  • Below is essentially a purgatory preventing lost spirits from going to the afterlife, but they can still "die" again. This means their only possible fate is to either go through Cessation of Existence or have their souls taken by the Crimson God.
  • Since the lore states that God Himself gave up on humanity's salvation, it's an open question if the lost spirits will actually go to Heaven even with the Crimson God slain.
