Don't let the Retraux nature of the game fool you- It still has the nightmarish moments of the source material, and given that some of them are expanded in here, this means that the game still has moments that will cause the player to stay awake at night.
Moments pages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned!
- The scene where Vins is revealed to be a vampire by killing DJ Inc and Raul.
- The Arabian Mansion. Not only are you chased by an indestructible boulder that will kill you if you so much as touch it, but the mansion's owner (who was unsympathetic before he gained his Stand) discovered he had a Stand and went utterly insane, plotting to have a party at his mansion involving killing the people he'd invited. And Vins was behind that too.
- Sanctuary. There's no music, and the place is full of the ghosts of the dead.
- ZZ's ghost mentions that no one helped him because they thought he was really training, causing his death.
- The hidden area known as the Dream World, accessible after dying to Vins in the final battle after a 3rd playthrough, seems normal enough, but slowly becomes something out of a Creepypasta, complete with a reference to an infamous urban legend about the original Shin Megami Tensei I.
- The credits for the Dark Side Ending. The music stops right after the battle and never comes back, the silence only broken when the credits show up... By the sound of babies crying, men and women screaming, the 7th Stand User's evil laughter and the blowing wind of a wasteland presumably created by the 7th Stand User himself in their rule over the world. Which then leads to...
- The "Mad World" eyes, a pair of realistic eyes that show up at the end of the credits roll, and at the Dream World should you come face to face with the shadowy figure during the "TURN IT OFF" sequence. While it may seem as a cheap scare at first, it gains a completely different meaning in the context of this ending: These are the eyes that intimidated DIO, the ones he recognized to be much like his own, much like the ones that scared Kakyoin, Avdol and Polnareff frozen... Or, in DIO's words, the eyes of someone born purely evil.
- The whole premise of the Stand Adam Ant - a giant horde of insects, noted to be difficult to control, that attacks by swarming onto an enemy and slowly eating away at their body. If the user isn't careful, it could end up turning on their friends.
- If you managed to defeat Joey Operetta in Varanasi, you can enter his secret warehouse in Karachi, where you find an insane amount of Joey Dolls. However, the true horror lies within the 2nd basement... namely, in which there's an entire floor that resembles a wedding chapel, which has dolls that resemble civilians, and if the protagonist is female, it gets worse: The dolls in the last row resemble that of the Joestar group, the priest doll resembles Enrico Pucci, and while the room containing Joey's dolls in the nude has some black comedy if a male protagonist has the Perverted and Lolicon trait, a female protagonist is downright furious at how eerily it resembles them, resulting in them destroying it. Not to mention there's a room that contains dolls that resembles the female protagonist's family. And Chaos Mode makes it even more worse: A female protagonist who got her family kidnapped has the family dolls suddenly turn to the protagonist and walk slowly to her fused to each other as the Combined Demon, shocking them in the process. If they're alone with the Squeamish or Sickly trait and faint from the horror, a figure who is either a Joey Doll or Joey Operetta himself may "have some fun" with her, and given the above, there's no surprise what he plans to do with her. The only light is that you can rescue your family from him if they were kidnapped.
- Even Joey himself is creepy. His Stand, Murderdolls is made of wax figurines, which he can control via strands of hair. How does he make those wax figures, you say? Well, his backstory as revealed by Clayman reveals that he makes the wax dolls based off of suicide victims and people he's killed as well. Oh, and it's not the "make a statue of wax based off this person" type, it's the "dump this person's corpse in wax" type of wax figure. And some of them are still alive. Is it any wonder that in his backstory, Rainbow freaked out and destroyed his dolls when he mentioned it? Sure makes you feel lucky that he hasn't killed the protagonist's family in Chaos Mode, but it's an unsettling thought to think about what might have happened if the protagonist didn't rescue them...
