Nightmare Fuel / Beyond: Two Souls

Go To

  • The Like Other Girls chapter originally did have a scene where Jodie was assaulted and likely raped if Aiden didn't interfere. While the scenes themselves weren't filmed, Elliot Page did record audio for them that has been extracted and it makes for unsettling material.
  • Entities are scary.
  • In "My Imaginary Friend", what happens if you decide to make Jodie pull funny faces in the mirror...
    • And then there is what happens if you linger in the creepy garage for too long.
  • There's only one Game Over screen in the entire game that happens during Jodie's last fight with the monsters as she tries to reach the Black Sun. Fail the prompts, Jodie dies and the Infraworld merges with Earth, destroying everything in our world and turning it into Hell. And Jodie monologues how she's now trapped alone in the darkness forever with her regrets.
    Jodie: Nothing. There's nothing left... Nothing but death, chaos and destruction. The Infraworld has overwhelmed our world, and cast its shroud over the living. Billions of fragments of souls wandering in silence... The world I was born into has disappeared forever. But still the images from my life collide in my head. I try to remember each second... what I did... where I failed... what I could have done to avoid what happened. Ever since I died I... I've let myself float along the cold wave. I hunger for obscurity and oblivion. I am alone with my guilt and my regrets... Alone for eternity.
    • Worse, this actually counts as one of the endings, so you have to let it happen once if you're going for 100% Completion.
  • This may or may not count, considering it's an Easter Egg, but if you use Aiden on a newspaper-reading man, it shows a headline stating the Origami Killer is on the loose. Could it be that Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, and this game all take place in the same world?
    • Since an Easter Egg referencing the then-upcoming Beyond already appeared in Heavy Rain, they probably do.
  • The entirety of the chapter "The Condenser." A condenser has opened a portal to the Infraworld, and Jodie is the only one able to get close enough to shut it down again. So Jodie has to explore an abandoned CIA facility that is full of dead bodies and dark spirits that have managed to escape from the Infraworld. Then the dark entities start to take over aforementioned dead bodies...
    • It doesn't help that there's a Jump Scare as Jodie walks through a corridor, a dead body suddenly rises up behind her, but turning around reveals that it's still lying down. The body does nothing for the rest of the chapter, but it's still absolutely terrifying.
  • The portion of the game where we first find out that Nathan's wife and daughter were killed in a car crash. This is done through Foreshadowing in the form of both of them, with their injuries, repeatedly appearing around Jodie, simply staring at her. We don't even get an explanation of who they are or what they want until Nathan gets the call.
  • While it's meant to be touching, the part where Jodie helps Stan's wife speak to him through her can come across as quite sinister due to the way Jodie speaks, her exaggerated mouth movements and the fact that she has her eyes rolled up in the back of her head.
