Murasaki Baby is disturbed. Not just for its art style, which was clearly inspired by a mix of The Brothers Grimm and Tim Burton. That aesthetic has its role, and performs an admirable job of making it clear to players from the outset that this is a dark little tale told by people like Burton who harbour a deep and abiding frustration for some kind of injustice in the world. But the aesthetic is not what makes Murasaki Baby a disturbing experience; that would be the fact it takes a sadistic pleasure in making players be utterly cruel to an ugly, deformed monstrosity of a girl who also happens to be a complete innocent.
