YMMV / Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening

• Player Punch: At one point, Alicia's party will be forced to fight Amethyst, the friendly monster that helped Dottie navigate the Playroom Vedim Space. To make things worse, if the battle with Amethyst takes too long (by either the player taking it easy or refusing to attack), Amethyst will be devoured by the Apharligg from nowhere, who eats Amethyst with Anima Eater, killing her as well as initiating a much more difficult battle. Apharligg not only is very creepy, but also is the only monster with the Instant Death Anima Eater attack in the game.
• That One Boss: The Fun Eater is incredibly difficult despite being the boss of Dottie's tutorial dungeon, and while it is mechanically not too much worse than the previous bosses, the player is working with fewer resources and a smaller party than normal, making its mechanical advantages more pronounced. It can not only use a drain attack, it can also summon minions (without limit) every time it changes its weaknesses, and these minions tend not to have the same weaknesses as it, meaning an AOE skill won't always deal efficient damage. While the player has Amethyst as a tank, her AI doesn't always make the best decisions and she can't use items. At low HP, it can also buff itself instead of summoning a minion, making it even harder to maintain an advantage. Failing to kill the minions quickly while maintaining HP can result in the party going down easily.
