These are clearly sanity effects among a list of other sanity effects? What other context do you need? It was already explained that these are things that happens when the sanity meter drops!
* The Creator/EdgarAllanPoe quote at the start of the game certainly sets the tone for the rest of it, and it's kind of creepy how it precedes ''everything'', including the title screen and logos, to be the very first thing you see and hear when you start up the game.
** During the opening movie of the game, one of the first things you see is an animated skeleton staring directly at the screen.
** In the PAL version, when you select 50 or 60 Hz on that screen, it briefly corrupts and the voice stops, giving the impression that you made the wrong choice. The game works fine afterwards though. Whether it is deliberate or not, it's a very effective first scare.

* Casting a healing spell, and ''exploding from the waist up''. This is a sanity effect, but it happens so abruptly that it may startle you the first time, especially in the middle of combat.

** It's made from the flayed skin and shrunken bones of at least 5 different people.
** The skulls on the Tome's closing flap stare at you. It's a different skull for each section. They ''blink.''
** The illustrations on each chapter. The tamest is the Journal section; a hooded figure holding a book. The Options menu is a tree-like edifice made of skeletons and flayed skin. The Inventory has medical diagrams of a humanoid creature with one lung and an eye in its palm, presumably a Xel'atoth zombie, and bony lining of the spaces. Magick shows an EldritchAbomination being worshipped by skeletons in a manner that involves climbing on the hideous false-god. The map has bone décor to show off the Legend.

** Perhaps the creepiest is the [[https://youtu.be/VhArX1t7Vhs mansion ambiance]], with the [[SarcasmMode lovely sounds]] of a baby crying and a woman sobbing.
* Characters will tend to talk and gibber to themselves with their sanity depleted, in personalized ways. While whispering or whimpering on any of the protagonists is standard enough, some of the distinct ones, such as Anthony sobbing "Dying... I need... help me..." or Paul's screaming unprompted at the top of his lungs, can be ''unnerving''.

* After defeating Pious Augustus and his chosen Ancient, Alex experiences a moment's clairvoyance, where she sees the counter-Ancient she released rape humanity something bad. The visions are seen in flashing, rapid still images, and which Ancient has the least horrible designs for humanity is anyone's guess. To elaborate...
** In a world where [[TheBrute Chattur'gha]] enters into our reality unchecked, his creatures run wild over the earth, turning it into a [[EvilIsVisceral blood-soaked wasteland of flayed corpses]] where humanity is reduced to prey for the Ancient's creatures. Those unfortunate to be caught will be force-marched across the desert to crude execution platforms, where they get hanged and butchered in droves. Thus is what Chattur'gha has planned for humanity...to be nothing more than cattle, sating the savage appetites of its horrific creatures.
** Should Ulyaoth come to power, the human race will be taken to what can only be described as an EternalEngine with AlienGeometries that exists in a fathomless void, bound by energy shackles to floating platforms that deliver them to surging energy furnaces. Thus is the ultimate fate of humanity under Ulyaoth...to be little more than batteries for Ulyaoth's incomprehensible machinations.
** If Xel'lotath were to emerge into our reality unchecked, humankind would be enslaved and forced to construct eerie cylindrical monoliths, each one adorned with a sinister emerald eye that seems almost alive. To make matters worse, it's implied that the construction of each monolith involves a ritual in which the slaves are forced to brutalize each other, ultimately driving themselves insane before beheading themselves...''and then coming back to life, holding their severed heads and continuing to serve!'' Thus is the ultimate fate of humanity under Xel'lotath...to be reduced to slaves serving the insane whims of a {{Mad God}}dess until their own sanity is lost forever.
*** In conclusion? If Alex's grandfather hadn't intervened, we'd see what happens when the GodzillaThreshold gets crossed, and {{Eldritch Abomination}}s are involved.
