* The complete and utterly shocking MoodWhiplash of the final battle with The Lovelies. At first, the fight starts off as normal. Once only Hart is alive, though, the other Lovelies mutate into especially creepy joy mutants. After that, the entire atmosphere of the fight changes! Once he almost die's, Hart does as well. His final words, however, are utterly horrific.

** The subsequent sequence where Beltboy narrowly avoids going through he same experience is just as unsettling. He's completely unarmed and cornered in the back of a trailer by a creepy man soaked in what is presumably Lanks' blood. All of Craig's attacks are uncomfortably sexual in nature, usually manifesting in him groping and trying to lick Beltboy as he struggles to break free. Save for Craig's line of dialogue upon being defeated, it's a serious and disturbing depiction of sexual violence. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lP6bNqqWEw Blood for Sex]]" plays over the scene and it perfectly compliments the claustrophobic atmosphere.

* Lanks [[spoiler: [[RapeAsDrama getting violently raped]].]] It's not explicitly shown what happens, but [[DepravedBisexual Craig Fuchs's]] lecherous behavior towards Belt Boy combined with the scream that Lanks lets out while he's offscreen doesn't leave much to the imagination. We discover as the game progresses that the head wound he received was the ''least'' of the trauma he got from the ordeal.

* Walking through the swamp while high is mostly a fun and goofy experience until Beltboy's childhood friend randomly shows up and attacks him. Since the crew is high, she hits hard; and then about halfway through the battle Beltboy shakes off the high and realizes [[spoiler: that it's actually a Joy Mutant, Pinhead, that looks like a huge, fleshy, triangle-shaped head.]]

* Gars' cryptic reference to sending people beneath the waves becomes much creepier when we consider [[HumanSacrifice all the skulls and bones lying around the cave]]. It can reasonably be inferred that his friends and him have been luring hapless surface-dwellers down into the cave and then drowning them. If we're to go with the assumption that Gar and his fishmen [[spoiler:are the kids from the orphanage]], it would mean they've been [[DeadlyEuphemism paying tribute]] to their Gods for a ''long'' time.
* Hopeful's Joy Lab is arguably as unnerving, if not worse, than the one from Painful. It's [[NothingIsScarier practically empty]], aside from some cryptic notes about various test subjects' gradually worsening conditions and a few patrolling Creeps. In the basement awaits Amy, an absolutely terrifying mutant, and a Pain Mode-exclusive optional room just before the exit has a floor made entirely of blood. The background is the red Joy intestine/flesh screen, adding another layer of strange unreality. But the worst part is probably [[spoiler:the hallucinations that Beltboy sees of Rodriguez's severed head and his childhood friend, which randomly pop out throughout the lab.]]
** Even worse, Amy uses Familiar Cry, which is only otherwise used by [[spoiler:the mutated forms of Beltboy, Lanks and Cyclops]], and if you are on the Beltboy route specifically and escape the battle, she'll scream at him and push him back, something that only mutants who recognize the party like [[spoiler:mutated Reginald]] do when you escape their battles. The implication of this is [[spoiler:[[TragicMonster she is the mutated form of Beltboy's childhood friend]]]].

His final words, however, are utterly horrific.

* Hart's [[spoiler: Joy Mutant form. His body contorts into a vaguely heart-esque form, and his mouth begins to tear itself open into a screaming position. He looks like he's in extreme suffering and is literally screaming for help; to make things worse, he's visibly crying.]]

He's completely unarmed and cornered in the back of a trailer by a creepy man soaked in (what is presumably Lanks' blood).

* Lanks [[spoiler: getting violently raped.]] It's left to the player's imagination, but [[DepravedBisexual Craig Fuchs's]] disheveled, primal, hunched-over appearance combined with the bloodcurdling scream that Lanks lets out while he's offscreen is haunting to say the least. We discover as the game progresses that the head wound he received was just the beginning of the trauma he got from the ordeal.
** The subsequent sequence where Beltboy almost endures the same experience is disturbing as well. He's completely unarmed and cornered in a dark, enclosed space by a creepy, lecherous man soaked in blood. All of Craig's attacks are uncomfortably sexual in nature, usually manifesting in him groping Beltboy as he desperately struggles to break free. Save for Craig's line of dialogue upon being defeated, it's an entirely serious depiction of sexual violence. "Blood for Sex" plays over the scene and it perfectly compliments the claustrophobic atmosphere.

* Lanks's [[spoiler: rape.]] It's left to the player's imagination, but Craig Fuchs's disheveled, primal, hunched-over appearance combined with the bloodcurdling scream that Lanks lets out while he's offscreen is haunting to say the least. Not to mention its effect on him throughout the game.

* When you think about it, the Sportsdome basically accounts to bloody post-apocalyptic gladiator games. Imagine how many people have died in the dome, either to losing to a team like Mexican Pink or to one of the Sports King's mutants.

* The complete and utterly shocking MoodWhiplash of [[spoiler:the final battle with The Lovelys.]] At first, the fight starts off as normal. Once only Hart is alive, though, the other Lovelys mutate into especially creepy joy mutants. After that, the entire atmosphere of the fight changes! Once he almost died, Hart does as well. His final words, however, are utterly horrific.
