* Unknown's lore and various cosmetic and add-on descriptions make it clear that if you have an idea of what it looks like, [[YouAreAlreadyDead it won't stop pursuing you until you're dead.]] So the best case scenario where every survivor breaks free of the realm and goes back to their normal lives? Yeah, the inter-dimensional [[EldritchHorror]] that can manifest anywhere at any time has '''all of them''' marked for death the moment it breaks out too. A case of [[HappyEndingOverride]] played to the most horrifying extreme.

* One of The Unknown's add-ons is a SNES game cartridge called the "Obscure Video Game." This allows DBD to include a "TheMostDangerousVideoGame"-style of {{creepypasta}} somehow; therein covering all the bases in its MultipleChoicePast. Alien, demon, escaped experiment, OR HauntedTechnology.

** And now, the Entity has managed to overpower [[VideoGame/AlanWake the Dark Presence]] and steal Alan Wake from its purgatory. Not only that, but it's also managed to take Mr. Scratch, the Presence's own avatar, and depower him into a mere survivor.

Added DiffLines:

* The Legion member's different mix tape add-ons correspond to their place in the gang, when they're viewed as a band (with the exception of the Fuming Mixtape).
** Frank's Mixtape adds more intense drums. The drummer is the person who sets the pace for the other band members, which befits Frank's place as the leader of the Legion.
** Julie's Mixtape adds a rhythm guitar.
** Susie's Mixtape adds a lead guitar solo that sounds heavily out of sync with the music from the base track. This makes sense, as Susie was the most hesitant to kill the janitor in the Legion's backstory.
** Joey's Mixtape adds a bassline.

* Chucky's lore says that he accidentally summoned the Entity with his failed ritual in the climax of ''Film/ChildsPlay2'', and that he ran into the Fog himself... but it also says he ''chased Andy'' into the Fog, and he's not a playable character, so what happened to him?! There's now the possibility of an ''eight-year-old boy'' being forced into the Entity's sick game.

Added DiffLines:

* The third person perspective of [[Franchise/ChildsPlay Chucky and Tiffany]] is justified; you are actually controlling Chucky through the perspective of Charles Lee Ray's spirit. This is evidenced by the fact that whenever you pick up a survivor, you seamlessly go into first person view as Charles manifests to pick up the doll and the survivor.

** The omniversal reach of the Entity might potentially work against it, however. As indicated in the entries above, there are beings like Pinhead who are capable of entering and exiting the Entity's domain under their own power, and in his particular case, it's implied that the Cenobite is only playing along with the Entity's game for his own amusement. So while the Entity could potentially drag in people from the aforementioned franchises, it might decide to avoid messing with plenty of them, lest it capture the attention of any number of incredibly powerful beings who would notice its activities and react poorly to its intrusion in their universes.

* If time runs out completely during Endgame Collapse and there's still survivors present, the Entity abruptly appears to ensnare and crush the survivor in its grip, then kill them with a claw through the skull. This heavily implies that the Entity could just up and kill people whenever it wants, but it holds back until the very last moment, when its patience finally runs out.

**The theme of their chapter, "Darkness Among Us", was that anyone at anyplace can be a killer:A thematic they revisited almost verbatim at Ghostface's chapter.


Added DiffLines:

**It also adds to the Ghostface's theme, both in the game's universe and in his franchise, of "anyone could be behind the mask", it's just that, in this case, we never see his true face at all.
**Ghostface love for horror stories is also VERY problably a Nod to Billy Loomis' and Stu Macher's [[MadDreamer Mad Dreamer tendecies of copying real life horror movies characters]] and the general [[AnAesop aesop]] of the franchise of "media not influencing or being responsible for violence".

* As revealed in a Reddit AMA, the reason the [[Film/{{Alien}} Nostromo Wreckage]] map is in the Dvarka Deepwood realm, alongside Toba Landing, is because the map is a nightmarish version of the real thing re-created by the Entity based on the negative memories Ellen Ripley had.

*** The Knight also enjoys his time in the Realm as a WarriorHeaven for himself and his allies, as such, he's mostly unchanged, but he looks very unkempt, with locks of hair sticking out of his visor, as if he forgets to take care of his appearance and spends most of his time tormenting his victims.

* According to Arcus 293 and 632, the Entity has the entire ''Omniverse'' as its playground. For those who don't know, the Omniverse as defined by pop culture is the collection of every multiverse, and by extension every universe, that exists, from Franchise/TheDCU to the Franchise/MarvelUniverse to Franchise/StarWars to the Franchise/{{Whoniverse}} to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon to Franchise/SuperMarioBros to the real world. This means that absolutely ''no one'', even the non-horror characters (though the prospect of anyone from the Website/SCPFoundation being brought in is especially terrifying), is safe from being forced into the Entity's sick games.

*** If the Entity can pull those killers from different universes, that means it can pull ''any'' kind of killer or monster from even more universes as well. And with Nemesis and his summoned zombies able to infect people with the T-Virus, that implies that it's only a matter of time until the Entity finds a way to use other deadly diseases in it's realm.
*** And the aforementioned zombies being featured in Nemesis' gameplay implies that the T-Virus that the Entity brought into it's realm can zombify victims just like in Resident Evil lore. Meaning that the survivors now have a new obstacle to worry about that's NOT even a killer and harder to avoid because it's a disease.

*** There's another addition to the multiverse angle: while Chris Redfield's appearance clearly shows that he was taken [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 during the events at the Spencer Mansion]], Wesker's appearance and lore indicate that he was taken during ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''... which '''couldn't have happened'' if Chris wasn't there. ''The game's versions of Chris and Wesker come from separate universes'''.
