This leads to her father chasing after a terrified Aya with his chainsaw.

Berserk Button: Aya's father after Aya learns the truth about her mother's death and her father's intent to make her into a doll.

In the true ending, she similarly chooses to follow Aya after Aya saves her life.

Because You Were Nice to Me: Maria's driving motivation throughout the game- the reason she helps Alfred with his horrendous experiments is because he adopted her when she was a street urchin.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Aya's father murdered animals in his childhood, a trait which his daughter inherited.

When she realises that Aya doesn't know, she lies and fakes being a jealous Yandere for Aya's sake. This is the real reason why Monika cursed him.

Awful Truth: Aya's father killed her mother after she overhears the Doctor's plans for Aya.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Or at least it seems this way, because neither Aya nor Drevis are very common names in Germany.

The mode also serves to fill in some story gaps not addressed by the original story and clear up ambiguities left by the game's ending.

Arrange Mode: Blood Mode has you playing through the game again with modified puzzles as an adult Aya, who is capable of certain things that child Aya is not.

Played with, however, in that you spend most of the game saving him from Monika, and he only becomes a direct antagonist once Monika is out of the way.

Antagonist Title: The Mad Father, Alfred Drevis, is the Mad Scientist who created the zombies and one of the primary villains.

Another Side, Another Story: IF Mode, added in the 2016 version, allows you to play through the big finale of the game as Robin.

Blood Mode in the 2020 remake quashes this question for good by revealing that Aya is in fact killing girls and turning them into dolls, although with significantly more empathy to their cause than her father.

Ambiguous Situation: Due to some choice wording and a bonus scene in the 2016 version's True Ending, it's left unclear if Aya is killing ill girls and turning them into dolls like her father.Her name is found in one of the notes that appears only in a second run of the game (a letter she wrote), although most players will learn her name from the gallery. Zig-Zagged in the case of Aya's mother, Monika.You can only find it in Gallery mode, available after viewing the true ending and collecting all gems. All There in the Manual: The name of Aya's father (Alfred) is never revealed during the game.This version was eventually 'updated' to a Video Game Remake edition (also available for the Nintendo Switch) that includes further refinements to the visuals and gameplay, as well as adding a gallery where players can look at game assets and dress up their own doll, and the brand-new 'Blood Mode' scenario, which takes place after the original game and presents a What If? twist to the story. ДЄs of September 24 2016, an updated version is available in both Japanese and English on Steam, featuring both overhauled graphics and artwork as well as new scenes. The game has an English translation made by vgperson, the woman who translated games like Ib and The Witch's House.
