Complete Monster: The nameless Salesman often goes by Mr. Fisher and has been on the road for countless centurieshunting down children in order to devour them and their dreams. Posing as a kindly salesman to take them under his wing, he lures them into traps where he reveals his sharp teeth and devours them alive. When he encounters the young hero Jack, the Salesman murders the real Mr. Fisher to steal his identity and takes Jack on a game of cat and mouse, murdering and eating his friend Samantha. When he catches Jack at the end, the Salesman gloats over all the evil he's done over the years and how many dreams he's devoured before chopping off Jack's arm, planning to eat him and force Jack's mother to partake.
Nightmare Fuel: It's been called one of the scariest horror comic miniseries in years. Fisher comes across almost like a demon, especially with its ending.
One of the first moments of the game gives the player a good look at Sasha in her battered, one-armed glory, not to mention her introduction to the Stranger via Mirror Scare.
The Dragon. This thing is so depraved that upon having one of its larger eyes dangling from its socket, it licks the eye and laughs as if not only has this happened to it before, but it's reveling in the idea that you're going to be a fun toy for it to crush.
Squick: There's a good amount of this as well. The title of the game is about living creatures getting sliced apart, after all.
After collecting five Heart Pieces or Brain Pieces, they merge into the completed organ, severed but still animated. The player has to tap on it repeatedly (ten times in all) to make Sasha devour it bit by bit in order to actually get the upgrade.
That One Boss: The battle against the enemies that block the way to the Father's Memento is agreed to be the hardest encounter in the game, surpassing even the final boss in terms of difficulty. It pits you against two eyeball-like enemies with wheel-like shields and a tiny mage that can transform into a two-headed dragon upon depleting its initial health bar. The eyeball monsters must have their shields broken in two spaces with charged hits to be reliably damaged, directing valuable time away from the third enemy. The mage/dragon comes into the battle with EVERY single status buff in the game equipped, meaning that you have to deal with a foe that hits hard, takes less damage, regenerates health, moves twice as fast, and can't have any of its buffs removed with your magic. It would be a war of attrition otherwise, but since this fight takes place in the clouds, you only have a certain amount of time to defeat them all before Sasha falls from the sky, making you automatically lose. Even with all upgrades unlocked, careful use of Sasha's Rage power, stealing the right buffs from the eyeballs, and good parries, it's no surprise to win this fight against the enemies and the clock by the skin of your teeth.
