I don't know why Tenna's Doom Board creeps me out so much, but I honestly find it the creepiest portion of the game that isn't related to the Weird route

Something about the cruelty Tenna is displaying here. He's forcing our protagonists, three teens, in this twisted game where they are forced to do nothing but shower Tenna with praises and promises that they'll never stop watching him, that TV is all that matters in life, that they're sorry they're sorry. If they resist by doing nothing? He'll electrocute them and attack them without hesitation. If they give in and give him the reluctant praise he seeks? He's happy at first, but eventually, even that it's not good enough for him, and he'll keep the loop repeating, over and over, never happy but still stuck in this sadistic game, because at this point, if no one loves him and needs him anymore, he'll just make himself relevant one way or another.

And this new discovery I made: he's willing to hurt them until they faint, but if they do, he'll quickly force feed them something to put them back on their feet. They don't even get the reprieve of unconsciousness. They better follow the script, or else.

And the worst part? It's that you understand perfectly why he's doing this. Chances are that you're sorry for him. There is something utterly pathetic in how he keeps seeking engagement from his "contestants", only to be met with dead silence and his "jokes" falling flat. It's clear that resisting doesn't make him angry because how dare you disobey me, it hurts him. It doesn't take long for him to start mumbling that he doesn't want to fight anymore, that he just wants the family to be happy. Even Susie and Ralsei eventually give up trying to break free and just stand there, dismayed at the whole thing. And I only speak for me, but despite seeing how eagerly Tenna can attack them, the idea of defeating him violently in return makes me too sad - maybe because he's described as "quite fragile", which both means that he's just an old TV, and his psyche is on the verge of collapse.

I don't know. Something about the whole thing gets me. I'm just miserable for everyone involved. Now that's how you write a deranged but tragic villain.
