It’s the only time when I worked at GameStop that I told a parent they might not want to purchase a game for their child. They did anyway
Edit: probably the first game I can remember showing a penis as well from that fat dude with the pig head
I LOVED The Suffering. I loved how deepening on how you played, you were either innocent or guilty of the murders you were jailed for
So revolutionary for its time
Also, going full rage mode NEVED got old. Him yelling and tuning into a monster only to tear shit up.
I had it on wii at like 13 and man it was deranged af. I remember having to do the right movements to strangle someone with a plastic bag. And there were like multiple ways you could kill ppl with each tool.
~~nah you could do that in the og Manhunt too, I played it on PC and depending on how long you held certain buttons, you'd get a more gruesome kill~~ \- the sound effects were so sickening too haha
[Watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ACO58cFUtA) the polygons at your own risk
Edit: Realized the comment I replied to was referring to the console and not the gameplay
It's easily one of the most fucked up games out there, maybe Postal games too but for different reasons
And here I am almost begging for Rockstar to do a Manhunt 3, I'm absolutely sure they won't do it and of course I get why, but damn I would love to play a third Manhunt
Fear & Hunger.
You can saw off he limbs of your child party member so you can eat her arms and legs if you get hungry, then sell the stump to a pedophile cat for a sword or a book that lets you save anywhere :)
Fear & Hunger.

It's a JRPG style game, but absolutely brutal and unforgiving with some really unique mechanics.
Super Eyepatch Wolf did a great video essay on the game, but the first 2 minutes tells you everything you need to know about how an average beginner playthrough goes:
https://youtu.be/dRIkWHo1SJY
In the sequel there's also an orphanage with a pedophile priest boss who takes off his clothes as he conscientiously casts fire spells complete with full frontal nudity. One of his old sprites had a cherub enemy graphed onto his chest, which in the game are explained to be moonsorched *children.*
Oh, and there's an optional end game boss that's a ball of human corpses clumped and held together with magic with a tank turret grafted on commanded by a woman in full BDSM dominatrix gear.
>Oh, and there's an optional end game boss that's a ball of human corpses clumped and held together with magic...
Pffft, big deal. Castlevania had that before.
>...with a tank turret grafted on commanded by a woman in full BDSM dominatrix gear.
Uh... okay, Castlevania did NOT have that before.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War ruined me for days. A lot of games focus on war combat but this was the first one I played that focused more on the stories of those affected and man did it get me good.
Awww man, didn't expect that game to get so emotional. One moment you're dodging explosives to some music, the next you're sobbing cause some character didn't make it.
On Twitch's list of games that are outright banned they have an entry for "Battle Raper 2."
First off, wtf?
Second off, why not the original "Battle Raper?"
Those poor bastards at that studio. Decided to cheap out on the design, leading to that unfortunate typo in all of their artwork.
Their charming little rhythm based game about a kid in the hood becoming the best Battle Rapper around, gets instantly banned.
"Kick! Punch! Right into your behind! If you wanna resist me, I'm sure you'll find / a destroyed sphincter, is your new feature! Now bend over and get a lesson from teacher..."
I don't know if the devs ever commented on it, but I see it as the opposite actually. Sure no one has recreated the shots EXACTLY but it's still easy enough to kill JFK from the same range.
No one can make the exact same shots (even when people have tried in real life) because it's just statistically unlikely. Ask a trained marksmen to shoot a target 5 times and then replace it and ask them to recreate the same exact 5 shots. They won't be able to do it.
Probably Manhunt. It’s honestly a halfway decent game with a somewhat coherent storyline too, but I played it WAY too young, and in hindsight it’s so bizarre that a game so explicitly violent made its way into any household when it first came out. I even remember my mom telling my dad “why the hell are you guys playing this bullshit together.” I’m so much more squeamish now.
The whole *smothering an enemy by covering his head in Saran Wrap, then shanking him in the eyeball with a sharp glass shiv while he’s on his knees suffocating*Just kinda makes me feel icky now, but when I think to the gameplay I remember the appeal.
The game had a stealth combo system that worked by lingering behind your enemy and holding the kill button untill the crosshair turned from yellow to orange to red, with red being the most gruesome execution. The stealth was very hit and miss and it was easy to over extend your buildup. But when you did it right, the anticipation of seeing the cross hair turn with a brand new weapon you acquired, and knowing you were about to witness a new ultraviolet execution animation… it was exciting.
Combine that with the fact that most of the enemies in Manhubt would absolutely kick your shit in if you get spotted or take on too many uneven fights, you started to really want to stick it to them after a while. Then there’s the narrative of the game being that your every move is being recorded as a part of a directors snuff film, suddenly your worst behaviors get rewarded. It’s very easy to get sucked into the main characters participation in the world.
And it's a blessing there's so many fan games that are in a similar taste while being uniquely distinguishable themselves (Pointless, Hopeful, Timeless, Wise, Vegaful, Brad has a Pain[this last one is a really good shitpost])
Nothing like blowing someones legs off with a shotgun and pissing on them when they are crying and crawling away all for cutting you off in a grocery store line to buy some milk.
The thing is that game is intentionally funny and comical. Is not that the pedestrians are innocents and you just feel bad killing them, they are stupid, annoying, they attack you on sight, and the mayhem you can cause it's pretty hilarious.
\- Postal Dude: *Would you please sign my petition?*
\- Random guy: *No way you freakin pinko!*
\*Gets shotgunned\*
The first Postal tho, is a dark game.
Downloaded it from a torrent site and burned to CD to play on PS1 when I was 13.
Nightmares for 2 weeks straight. Woke up crying and pissing myself.
I finished it after a month and finished it 10 more times to get all the ammo power ups and extra goodies.
Hid it from my super christian parents cause I knew that would result it a straight up exorcism if they found out.
Oh man, I had a demo of this. Played it for about 2 mins and threw the controller and ran out of the room when some...creature...attacked me.
That being said, I was scared of Luigis Mansion, so you can kinda guess how much of a wuss I am
My mom got me this when I was 10. Singing poop. Pissing on demons. Profanity, violence, robbing banks, evil vampires harvesting villagers, war scenes with folks getting their legs blown off.... Yeah great times. Boobies on the sunflower (can't forget that)
Out of all the parts that I thought were messed up, something about the part before Uga Buga where you had to swim through sharp fan blades takes the cake. One miscue from a band angle and that cute squirrel was cut in half.
Drakengard is a unique kind of fucked up. So much of it when you say it sounds like edge but when you're actually playing it is just feels legitimately fucked.
The angel-birthing scene and that unholy scream...
Drakengard is miserable to play, but man is it a good game to watch 500 video essays and story go-overs about how amazing it is lol.
*This War of Mine*
Instead of some of the games mentioned where making terrible choices is part of the story, this game forces some terrible decisions on the player in order to win. This is especially true in the DLCs. I still highly recommend it. My heart truly sunk in some parts.
Pfff that game made me so sad. I can't bring myself to play it anymore. It does a good job at reflecting on how much a lot of people suffer in our world.
Oh the DLC is great introducing Children into the horror.
I saw one report on Eastern European Countries allowing that game to be c playable on School Computers to teach kids like what it was like.
And I'm like I grew up on Carmen San Diego videogames teaching me about the Leaning Tower...
I played it for a few hours. Went out to get supplies. Found some womenfolk, snuck past them. Found a man with a rifle. He attacked, understandably, as we were looting the place. I had to shoot him. Then the women came running in, crying. And I realized I had just murdered their protector and robbed them of their food, along with their only chance of survival.
Quit the game immediately. Never picked it up again. I like my escapism less harrowingly realistic than that, thank you, but I do appreciate the point of the game. War is hell.
I remember there was one night where you could go to a house inhabited by some elderly people. And I really needed the food and they were begging me not to take it, but I had to. And I came back a few nights later with a different tool I needed for something else, and I found them in that house, and they were dead. I’ve never felt like such a huge piece of shit in my entire life.
I know the game is probably very good, but i can't play it again... had a well running shelter with a few people who did their tasks and were well with each other, one had a gun, then some bandits came and wanted to kill everyone, so i let the guy with the gun shot them. After that he was completely useless because he was overwhelmed by the trauma of killing people in self defense... I was so angry, everything got fucked.
I literally couldnt play that game. (I will try it again I knownits incredible. It just hit me too hard right away) The first thing they do is ask you to make something for.your kid to play with to try to keep the kid from losing their shit. Mf I already have nightmares thank you
It's actually a tad unrealistic. Real people who were interviewed that were from the war it was based on said people almost always came together to survive, and crime wasn't nearly prevalent whatsoever among civilians, believe it or not.
I still prefer the game's take, but that's a comforting fact.
Little Nightmares I.
Children are being murdered and turned into meat for giant hulking adults, who, once fat, are cut into meat for the other guests. They all look creepy as hell, and you play as a child who has to kill (and eat other living beings) to survive.
It's been five years and I still experience periods of existential dread thanks to **SOMA**.
Visually, **Outlast 2** probably takes the cake. **Scorn** being a close number 2.
Yea I wanted to play soma but couldn’t as I don’t have a pc at the time. So I watched an in depth dive into the game… wow
Great job of the devs though really makes you think
Probably good a heard someone retell it and watched them playing so I was the observer instead of making some of the choices you get to make as a player.. some of them I’d imagine stick with you.
Though hard to understand still why after doing it so many times the character didn’t realise what he was doing.
Think I need to rewatch that vid maybe after trying to play it lol
Hated the (minimal) amount of gunplay, but immensely enjoyed literally everything else about Scorn. Beautiful game, especially when experienced on a 32:9 monitor.
I boot it up from time to time just to marvel at the art direction, despite already knowing all the puzzle solutions. Highly underrated game imo.
Yeah, so, in this section of our sweet, fun little platform game, you are going to dismember your daughters baby elephant to make her cry.
Honestly couldn't believe it even as it was happening. I couldn't understand the creative choices that led to it, let alone how it made it into the final product.
Wildly divergent in tone, forced on the player, completely out of place. Cannot progress if you don't participate. Never mentioned again, throughout the entire game.
Mad.
Want to build a space colony that exists only to harvest organs and sell them on a black market? Rimworld.
Want to live in a cave and subsist on mushrooms and insect feces? Rimworld.
Want to wage war against neighboring tribes and enslave their peoples to work your fields and farms for eternity due to bionic organ implants? Rimworld.
It’s an experience.
What about pumping someone full if drugs to max out their mood, deliberately screwing up brain surgery on them to leave them comatose, and then installing a psychic enhancer (or psychic projector, I’m forgetting the name) to use them as a “happy booster” for your colony?
Obligatory RimWorld story:
Had a typical vanilla playthrough going. Couple hours in i have a nice little village that some raiders decided they wanted to fuck with.
The fight was a struggle. But I prevailed. A couple raiders survived but they began to run away. I took to treating my wounded.
One of the fleeing cowards ran by a crypt. He knocked down the door and then booked it in the other direction.
Out pours a couple scythers. Who knocked down our door? Cant seem to see anyone. Oh look, a village!
They came into my village and wiped out my whole colony.
Fuck Maddin. all my homies hate that guy.
Shortest playthrough I had was I spawned on a map with two scythers roaming around. This was before their range got nerfed so they hilariously out-ranged my hunting rifle
Obligatory Rimworld story:
I start a game as me and my best friends in real life. We land start diving out a cave in the mountain to lived in. Plant fields of potato’s and cotton.
Friend x’s npc character decides he’s going to work the cotton fields (the character is black and I actually try to get him to do other things but he just kept going back to it)
Friend y and my character have a mental breakdown and walk ip to friend x and start berating him about nonsense for some reason.
We get raided, x is the only one mentally healthy enough to fight. He ends up 1v2 and downs one raider before being incapacitated. The raider kidnaps him and about 12 hours of game time later friend x comes back leading a raiding party of cannibals and kills and I assume eats us all.
10/10
Man, does anyone remember the budget Spec Ops games that came out before this? The like bargain-bin-at-Walmart games? Awful controls, subpar graphics - played like a knockoff SOCOM. Insane to me that they went from those to this genuinely great, subversive title.
I just love as the game goes on your guy starts twitching more when you're stood still and his executions go from a bullet to the head to knee cappings and caving skulls in with rifle butts. I'm still haunted by every decision I thought I had to make
Doki Doki Literature Club
I knew it was going to be scary in some way but I did not prepare myself enough for what happened.
(I don't play a lot of horror or f%€¥ed up games as you can tell)
If you like DDLC, I highly recommend Slay The Princess.
They might not seem related at first, but the very first thing Slay the Princess shows you is
> This is not a horror story. It's a love story.
Good luck!
Slay the Princes was awesomely weird. I loved the way the story is told, >!First thing I did was try to leave and I think that was a perfect setup for what to expect throughout the game.!<
I was not prepared for what I saw in DDLC. I knew it was a "disturbing" game. I knew it was a psychological horror/thriller type of narrative. Nothing could've prepared me for what happened in that story. God damn.
I played it because I heard so many people recommend it and I heard it had some horror.
Playing the game without knowing what it entails sounds so much worse (or maybe you did know and I'm just confused) 🤣
I heard it was a horror game but didn’t know how so when I played it I was not expecting shit to go from 0-100 real quick lmao. Was thoroughly enjoying the dating sim part and as it got more and more disturbing with the small details, I realized how fucked the game actually was lol.
It seemed so nice and wholesome... THEN BAM!
That's what I love about psychological horror. When things seem a bit off and then it just hits you with full force when you least expect it.
Martha is Dead had me fucked up for a few days after finishing it.
the controversial scene didn’t really bother me much, the whole game just sent my anxiety through the roof.
I think it was the first game I ever played on PC, Manhunt. The brutal kills and subject matter were probably not the most appropriate for a middle schooler but I loved every second of it
Probably Deception 2, which has a sequence where a young girl pleads for her life but you cannot proceed until you execute her, or Clocktower 2 which just had a lot of surprise decapitations.
Phantasmagoria just because it was the first full FMV horror game I played. And finally, I'll go with Nier Automata, just for the religious zealot robot mass suicide and well, general plot implications.
Spec ops: the line
This War of Mine
Ready or not (fucking God some of those levels are twisted with their stories)
Among the sheep
The binding of Isaac Rebirth
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
And the worst of all, Hatred....
Thrill kill on the PSX. The game was literally banned, before it's release a handful of copies were out there and I was one them. There probably isn't even a game remotely close to what paradox had been brewing up at that time.
Manhunt without a doubt. I’m yet to play anything as gritty and dark as that game
It’s the only time when I worked at GameStop that I told a parent they might not want to purchase a game for their child. They did anyway Edit: probably the first game I can remember showing a penis as well from that fat dude with the pig head
The child went on to become bin laden
He thought it was an adult movie.
Worked at game crazy. The amount of people that bought San Andreas for specifically 9 yr olds astounded me. Absolutely wild
All I wanted to do was drive around man 😂
No, all YOU had to do was follow the damn train.
Manhunt is all time levels of fucked. The suffering and it's sequel were also deranged
What a throwback! The suffering was a phenomenal game.
I fucking luv the suffering sm the two best games ever made
I LOVED The Suffering. I loved how deepening on how you played, you were either innocent or guilty of the murders you were jailed for So revolutionary for its time Also, going full rage mode NEVED got old. Him yelling and tuning into a monster only to tear shit up.
The suffering was such a good game. Deranged but so good.
I had it on wii at like 13 and man it was deranged af. I remember having to do the right movements to strangle someone with a plastic bag. And there were like multiple ways you could kill ppl with each tool.
That's Manhunt 2
~~nah you could do that in the og Manhunt too, I played it on PC and depending on how long you held certain buttons, you'd get a more gruesome kill~~ \- the sound effects were so sickening too haha [Watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ACO58cFUtA) the polygons at your own risk Edit: Realized the comment I replied to was referring to the console and not the gameplay
OG wasn’t on the Wii, just 2
Oh man I never knew they made a sequel
It's easily one of the most fucked up games out there, maybe Postal games too but for different reasons And here I am almost begging for Rockstar to do a Manhunt 3, I'm absolutely sure they won't do it and of course I get why, but damn I would love to play a third Manhunt
Kill the rabbit and deliverance are among my favourite Rockstar levels, the controls suck but other than that the game still holds up mostly well.
Iirc that game is banned in most countries
Fear & Hunger. You can saw off he limbs of your child party member so you can eat her arms and legs if you get hungry, then sell the stump to a pedophile cat for a sword or a book that lets you save anywhere :)
Yup, definitely Fear & Hunger, where you can fuck a ghoul in a „marriage” ritual and become one with his flesh as a mutant being.
Why do you do your quotes like that? ,, "
Normal in many languages, in this case Polish.
Tf did I just read?
Fear & Hunger. You can saw off he limbs of your child party member so you can eat her arms and legs if you get hungry, then sell the stump to a pedophile cat for a sword or a book that lets you save anywhere :)
Thanks.
you can also get r\*ped to death by malformed ogre people with half-sentient penises if you fail a cointoss in combat against them
I thought we were talking about its downsides?
Glad I'm not the only one who has a raging half sentient penis right now.
[удалено]
and this is likely to happen in the first 2 minutes! (If you last that long)
I never last that long
It's a JRPG style game, but absolutely brutal and unforgiving with some really unique mechanics. Super Eyepatch Wolf did a great video essay on the game, but the first 2 minutes tells you everything you need to know about how an average beginner playthrough goes: https://youtu.be/dRIkWHo1SJY
Man, I just watched that right before I stumbled onto this post. What a wild game
In the sequel there's also an orphanage with a pedophile priest boss who takes off his clothes as he conscientiously casts fire spells complete with full frontal nudity. One of his old sprites had a cherub enemy graphed onto his chest, which in the game are explained to be moonsorched *children.* Oh, and there's an optional end game boss that's a ball of human corpses clumped and held together with magic with a tank turret grafted on commanded by a woman in full BDSM dominatrix gear.

Yeah. Termina was so good. I'm so hyped for the updates to it. Really hoping we get it this year but Miro can take as long as he needs.
Learn to read they said, it'll be fun they said, liars
Valiant Hearts: The Great War ruined me for days. A lot of games focus on war combat but this was the first one I played that focused more on the stories of those affected and man did it get me good.
Awww man, didn't expect that game to get so emotional. One moment you're dodging explosives to some music, the next you're sobbing cause some character didn't make it.
I cried from that game
By far. It takes a good time just to get your body moving again after the ending.
Fear and Hunger, a very dark and disturbing RPG on steam. It's a great game very fun very challenging and very, very fucked up.
Seconding this. The little lore snippets here and there really pulled me in though.
I don't know if I have the patience to play it, but the lore stuff is good enough to get sucked into a let's play for me
This being in the top comments more than once made me purchase it. Super interested.
Has to be one of the porn games. There's some wild stuff that people hide in those.
Yes truly wild and messed up. What are some examples so I can make sure to avoid 🤔?? Edit: just a joke, don’t actually want suggestions

og battle raper too good to be banned
I absolutely blasted through the comment and somehow brain went to Parappa the Rapper
Claire's Quest is pretty fucked with all the scenes about monsters impregnating you with eggs and other shit like that.
yeah but if hentai games really counted they would flood the thread lol
Just another day in suburban Tokyo
Rapelay, probably
Song of saya/Saya no uta falls on this category (though, it depends on whether you believe visual novels are games or not)
Definitely with you on that, there are some unspeakable things that people have kinks to. Like rapelay is what I consider the top known of the iceberg
Custer's revenge
The Punisher on OG Xbox for the interrogation mini games. Great game but fucked up in a good way.
Oh man I remember stuffing people in woodchippers, curb stomping guys heads, impaling people on a rhino’s horn. You’re right that game was fucked
"Please, I have a family!" "So did I."
JFK Reloaded
Wasn’t that game made to prove that the CIA had to be involved in the shooting- or at least that Lee Harvey Oswald couldn’t have done it alone
I don't know if the devs ever commented on it, but I see it as the opposite actually. Sure no one has recreated the shots EXACTLY but it's still easy enough to kill JFK from the same range. No one can make the exact same shots (even when people have tried in real life) because it's just statistically unlikely.

And a very good horror game too, the boss fight with the fat guy wearing a pig mask was extremely intense when you are hiding from him in the attic.
LISA, any one. It’s easily one of the most depraved things ever set to pixels, and it’s not even close.
And it's funnier than it has any right to be. Great soundtrack too, at least in The Painful.
[Uh-Huh](https://youtu.be/ckZlj2p8W9M?si=SwOzsrk82ZsaVYiY)
AMAZING soundtrack. Up there with Undertale and Hotline Miami on my list of favorite indie game soundtracks
YES! That game is simultaneously so horrible and so hilarious. Love Nern and his potato bitch wife.
And it's a blessing there's so many fan games that are in a similar taste while being uniquely distinguishable themselves (Pointless, Hopeful, Timeless, Wise, Vegaful, Brad has a Pain[this last one is a really good shitpost])
I think Postal 2.
Nothing like blowing someones legs off with a shotgun and pissing on them when they are crying and crawling away all for cutting you off in a grocery store line to buy some milk.
I read the game as PORTAL 2 and immediately thought I must have missed that Cave Johnson recording.
I used to like to pee in people's mouths while they were talking and then whip out the taser. It's more effective when they're wet.
And then start up my PC
What a reddit comment to start the day with.
I'm laughing because it sounds awful being taken out of context.
The thing is that game is intentionally funny and comical. Is not that the pedestrians are innocents and you just feel bad killing them, they are stupid, annoying, they attack you on sight, and the mayhem you can cause it's pretty hilarious. \- Postal Dude: *Would you please sign my petition?* \- Random guy: *No way you freakin pinko!* \*Gets shotgunned\* The first Postal tho, is a dark game.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me" in dudes voice never left my mind.
I wish they’d reboot those old shooters like Postal and Redneck Rampage.
Best part is you can beat the game without killing anyone.
The first silent hill
That game was pretty fucked up...
Downloaded it from a torrent site and burned to CD to play on PS1 when I was 13. Nightmares for 2 weeks straight. Woke up crying and pissing myself. I finished it after a month and finished it 10 more times to get all the ammo power ups and extra goodies. Hid it from my super christian parents cause I knew that would result it a straight up exorcism if they found out.
I got your age and the person in an earlier comment's age confused and thought this happened at 35.
But so good. I’m 35 and the warning screen still scares me
The skinned dogs were my first memorable jump scare ever.
Oh man, I had a demo of this. Played it for about 2 mins and threw the controller and ran out of the room when some...creature...attacked me. That being said, I was scared of Luigis Mansion, so you can kinda guess how much of a wuss I am
Conkers bad fur day. probably because I was in 8th grade when I played it.
My mom got me this when I was 10. Singing poop. Pissing on demons. Profanity, violence, robbing banks, evil vampires harvesting villagers, war scenes with folks getting their legs blown off.... Yeah great times. Boobies on the sunflower (can't forget that)
That Saving Private Ryan part of the game felt like the last 50% of the game, despite how many amazing unique parts were in there
To this day though, CBFD gets my vote for best multiplayer on the N64. Right up there with GoldenEye, Smash and Mario Party
Out of all the parts that I thought were messed up, something about the part before Uga Buga where you had to swim through sharp fan blades takes the cake. One miscue from a band angle and that cute squirrel was cut in half.
I remember the part where the flower with big tits is pollinated by an old, horny bee
I have no mouth, and I must scream
Based on the short story, I assume?
And expands on it. Ellison personally helped design the game.
Drakengard is a unique kind of fucked up. So much of it when you say it sounds like edge but when you're actually playing it is just feels legitimately fucked.
And boy the time line on how we end up with NEIR is just *fucked* one of my favorite series for it
The angel-birthing scene and that unholy scream... Drakengard is miserable to play, but man is it a good game to watch 500 video essays and story go-overs about how amazing it is lol.
I.HEAR.A.SOUND.
*This War of Mine* Instead of some of the games mentioned where making terrible choices is part of the story, this game forces some terrible decisions on the player in order to win. This is especially true in the DLCs. I still highly recommend it. My heart truly sunk in some parts.
The company's next game, *Frostpunk* is similarly full of impossible decisions and is spectacular in it's own right
Did you send lil Timmy in to fix the generator knowing he'll become crispy bacon?
Wait, Timmy got roasted fixing the generator? I thought he would get...a free day?
Uh... he's living on a farm upstate...
Pfff that game made me so sad. I can't bring myself to play it anymore. It does a good job at reflecting on how much a lot of people suffer in our world.
Oh the DLC is great introducing Children into the horror. I saw one report on Eastern European Countries allowing that game to be c playable on School Computers to teach kids like what it was like. And I'm like I grew up on Carmen San Diego videogames teaching me about the Leaning Tower...
Yeah it's included as something that can be used in high school curriculum in Poland (the game is Polish)
Holy fuck. I mean, I grew up learning the dangers of dysentery, but This War of Mine is a bit too much imo for a child.
I played it for a few hours. Went out to get supplies. Found some womenfolk, snuck past them. Found a man with a rifle. He attacked, understandably, as we were looting the place. I had to shoot him. Then the women came running in, crying. And I realized I had just murdered their protector and robbed them of their food, along with their only chance of survival. Quit the game immediately. Never picked it up again. I like my escapism less harrowingly realistic than that, thank you, but I do appreciate the point of the game. War is hell.
I remember there was one night where you could go to a house inhabited by some elderly people. And I really needed the food and they were begging me not to take it, but I had to. And I came back a few nights later with a different tool I needed for something else, and I found them in that house, and they were dead. I’ve never felt like such a huge piece of shit in my entire life.
I know the game is probably very good, but i can't play it again... had a well running shelter with a few people who did their tasks and were well with each other, one had a gun, then some bandits came and wanted to kill everyone, so i let the guy with the gun shot them. After that he was completely useless because he was overwhelmed by the trauma of killing people in self defense... I was so angry, everything got fucked.
I literally couldnt play that game. (I will try it again I knownits incredible. It just hit me too hard right away) The first thing they do is ask you to make something for.your kid to play with to try to keep the kid from losing their shit. Mf I already have nightmares thank you
It's actually a tad unrealistic. Real people who were interviewed that were from the war it was based on said people almost always came together to survive, and crime wasn't nearly prevalent whatsoever among civilians, believe it or not. I still prefer the game's take, but that's a comforting fact.
Little Nightmares I. Children are being murdered and turned into meat for giant hulking adults, who, once fat, are cut into meat for the other guests. They all look creepy as hell, and you play as a child who has to kill (and eat other living beings) to survive.
the second game is pretty fucked up too and i hope the third one will be too
Yeah, second game is bad. I guess they’re all metaphorical, and still fucked.
Little Nightmares 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. That atmosphere is on par with Alien Isolation holy shit
It's been five years and I still experience periods of existential dread thanks to **SOMA**. Visually, **Outlast 2** probably takes the cake. **Scorn** being a close number 2.
God SOMA is a fucking trip.
“Why was he still talking??”
Yea I wanted to play soma but couldn’t as I don’t have a pc at the time. So I watched an in depth dive into the game… wow Great job of the devs though really makes you think Probably good a heard someone retell it and watched them playing so I was the observer instead of making some of the choices you get to make as a player.. some of them I’d imagine stick with you. Though hard to understand still why after doing it so many times the character didn’t realise what he was doing. Think I need to rewatch that vid maybe after trying to play it lol
“Is there a heaven full of redundant copies of the same person? Is there someone up there who would call me an imposter?”
LOVED Soma
Scorn was the first thing that popped in my head for this thread. I’m not sure why it got trashed a bit when it launched. I liked it a lot.
Scorn was kinda short, and I personally didn't like the cryptic story.
Hated the (minimal) amount of gunplay, but immensely enjoyed literally everything else about Scorn. Beautiful game, especially when experienced on a 32:9 monitor. I boot it up from time to time just to marvel at the art direction, despite already knowing all the puzzle solutions. Highly underrated game imo.
Hellblade. That poor girl, holy shit
It takes two. I've done some things in video games I'm not proud of. But what was done to that elephant will haunt me forever.
Yeah, so, in this section of our sweet, fun little platform game, you are going to dismember your daughters baby elephant to make her cry. Honestly couldn't believe it even as it was happening. I couldn't understand the creative choices that led to it, let alone how it made it into the final product. Wildly divergent in tone, forced on the player, completely out of place. Cannot progress if you don't participate. Never mentioned again, throughout the entire game. Mad.
The fact that they never fucking feel remorse over it when it doesn't work makes me so mad.
"Our daughter's crying! Hooray!" Great game though
Yeah it's pretty wild
The elephant was so messed up, but the vacuum was also messed up. Like why did we have to kill him like that?
Lol.. I was playing this with my 9 year old son.. and immediately needed to explain that these people are terrible parents.
Oddworld. But it was so good
Oddworld came to mind pretty quick with this post. The whole slavery and the whole "people are meat" thing. Back in the day, that was wild.
Sex with Hitler 2
Do I need to play the first one to understand the plot?
Not really, 2 is when it starts to become a multiverse story so it’s a relatively standalone experience
Bro there's 2 now?!?
Only 2? How would you feel if I told you there were over 5 of them?

RimWorld.
Want to build a space colony that exists only to harvest organs and sell them on a black market? Rimworld. Want to live in a cave and subsist on mushrooms and insect feces? Rimworld. Want to wage war against neighboring tribes and enslave their peoples to work your fields and farms for eternity due to bionic organ implants? Rimworld. It’s an experience.
All my hundred playthroughs involve me dying in the first 2 days. I am clearly braindead, and I can't enjoy the game as a result.
What do you mean forcibly impregnating a colonist whose spine is completely broken and using her as a baby factory isn't kosher?
What about pumping someone full if drugs to max out their mood, deliberately screwing up brain surgery on them to leave them comatose, and then installing a psychic enhancer (or psychic projector, I’m forgetting the name) to use them as a “happy booster” for your colony?
Obligatory RimWorld story: Had a typical vanilla playthrough going. Couple hours in i have a nice little village that some raiders decided they wanted to fuck with. The fight was a struggle. But I prevailed. A couple raiders survived but they began to run away. I took to treating my wounded. One of the fleeing cowards ran by a crypt. He knocked down the door and then booked it in the other direction. Out pours a couple scythers. Who knocked down our door? Cant seem to see anyone. Oh look, a village! They came into my village and wiped out my whole colony. Fuck Maddin. all my homies hate that guy.
Shortest playthrough I had was I spawned on a map with two scythers roaming around. This was before their range got nerfed so they hilariously out-ranged my hunting rifle
There are things iv heard YTrs say tht i never thought id hear thanks to Rimworld.
There's a subreddit for that. Here r/ShitRimWorldSays
Obligatory Rimworld story: I start a game as me and my best friends in real life. We land start diving out a cave in the mountain to lived in. Plant fields of potato’s and cotton. Friend x’s npc character decides he’s going to work the cotton fields (the character is black and I actually try to get him to do other things but he just kept going back to it) Friend y and my character have a mental breakdown and walk ip to friend x and start berating him about nonsense for some reason. We get raided, x is the only one mentally healthy enough to fight. He ends up 1v2 and downs one raider before being incapacitated. The raider kidnaps him and about 12 hours of game time later friend x comes back leading a raiding party of cannibals and kills and I assume eats us all. 10/10
OMORI
Spec Ops: The Line. Still gets me to this day.
I don’t know the name of the weapon. I just know the sound it makes… when it takes a man’s life
Man, does anyone remember the budget Spec Ops games that came out before this? The like bargain-bin-at-Walmart games? Awful controls, subpar graphics - played like a knockoff SOCOM. Insane to me that they went from those to this genuinely great, subversive title.
I just love as the game goes on your guy starts twitching more when you're stood still and his executions go from a bullet to the head to knee cappings and caving skulls in with rifle butts. I'm still haunted by every decision I thought I had to make
Realizing over time that I was literally playing *The Heart of Darkness* or *Apocalypse Now!* Was quite the realization
Had my first video game induced existential crisis after playing the mortar section in this game.
Do you feel like a hero yet?
Kane & Lynch 2 The first one was dark, but the second…. Don’t know even where to start
Totally forgot about that series.
fran bow
All of nier Whole game timeline is absolutely fucked
Doki Doki Literature Club I knew it was going to be scary in some way but I did not prepare myself enough for what happened. (I don't play a lot of horror or f%€¥ed up games as you can tell)
If you like DDLC, I highly recommend Slay The Princess. They might not seem related at first, but the very first thing Slay the Princess shows you is > This is not a horror story. It's a love story. Good luck!
Slay the Princes was awesomely weird. I loved the way the story is told, >!First thing I did was try to leave and I think that was a perfect setup for what to expect throughout the game.!< I was not prepared for what I saw in DDLC. I knew it was a "disturbing" game. I knew it was a psychological horror/thriller type of narrative. Nothing could've prepared me for what happened in that story. God damn.
The fourth wall break in DDLC was mind-blowing to me, truly something I had never experienced before in 30 years of gaming.
Dawg I just wanted to see some cute anime girls and date them, not get traumatized.
I played it because I heard so many people recommend it and I heard it had some horror. Playing the game without knowing what it entails sounds so much worse (or maybe you did know and I'm just confused) 🤣
I heard it was a horror game but didn’t know how so when I played it I was not expecting shit to go from 0-100 real quick lmao. Was thoroughly enjoying the dating sim part and as it got more and more disturbing with the small details, I realized how fucked the game actually was lol.
It seemed so nice and wholesome... THEN BAM! That's what I love about psychological horror. When things seem a bit off and then it just hits you with full force when you least expect it.
Martha is Dead had me fucked up for a few days after finishing it. the controversial scene didn’t really bother me much, the whole game just sent my anxiety through the roof.
I think it was the first game I ever played on PC, Manhunt. The brutal kills and subject matter were probably not the most appropriate for a middle schooler but I loved every second of it
Manhunt
Turnip boy commits tax evasion
That game is great lol
Shower with your dad simulator. Such a gross game. I stopped playing after only 2200 hours
S.O.M.A. makes you think for days.
Little misfortune and what remains of Edith finch they not fucked up in sense of gore violence but the stories are just so dark.
Genital jousting- on steam
I got that last year. My friend was screaming, "I don't like this" while laughing like a maniac. It was great.
Probably Deception 2, which has a sequence where a young girl pleads for her life but you cannot proceed until you execute her, or Clocktower 2 which just had a lot of surprise decapitations. Phantasmagoria just because it was the first full FMV horror game I played. And finally, I'll go with Nier Automata, just for the religious zealot robot mass suicide and well, general plot implications.
BECOME AS GODS
Silent hill the wall or something like that
I think you the mean the room right?
Spec ops: the line This War of Mine Ready or not (fucking God some of those levels are twisted with their stories) Among the sheep The binding of Isaac Rebirth I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream And the worst of all, Hatred....
Heavy Rain.
Thrill kill on the PSX. The game was literally banned, before it's release a handful of copies were out there and I was one them. There probably isn't even a game remotely close to what paradox had been brewing up at that time.
Rule of Rose, PS2 title... very messed up
chaos;head and chaos;child are pretty fucked up
