10 INSANE VIDEO GAME EASTER EGGS FOUND IN SCARY GAMES

So I've made videos in the past looking at the creepiest or scariest easter eggs in video games, but something that is far less common are Easter eggs found in scary games that aren’t neccesarily scary.
So, with that in mind, join me today as we take a look at 10 video game Easter eggs found in scary games that actually aren’t scary.

The fish at 2:48 is called Hatfish. He is a recurring "character" (and can also be found near Godard Docks on the Lawson Delta map) who actually teased the new map before it was even announced: A letter was found that said he was "heading north to DeSalle". His position on the Lawson Delta map was also slightly changed over the course of a few weeks, indicating he was about to go somewhere.

Space Balls is actually a spoof on Star Wars. They just happen to have a scene at the END of the movie with a Xenomorph

[@ScottRKrol]

And it also needs to be pointed out Spaceballs was also actually referencing a Looney Tunes cartoon "One Froggy Evening" and the dancing frog was named Michigan J. Frog, so the parodying goes even further back...

Didn’t know non scary Easter eggs could be found in scary games. Makes me want to play them just so I could find them.

[@santiklingo]

how did you not know ? probably 90% of easter eggs in horror games are just silly jokes

[@AlexReynard]

Reminds me of waaaaay back in the day, playing Quake for the first time. A friend let me jump in at one of the alter levels. I got hopelessly lost trying to find my way out, and came across the Dopefish easter egg. Which actually scared me more than anything else in the game, because I had no idea why the hell this was there or where I'd ended up.

[@oblonglobster]

@@santiklingo because I’ve never played a horror game. I’m too much of a scaredy-cat…

Alice madness returns, was probably one of the best underrated gems on the ps3, and the ps3 has quite a few great games no one played. Another one I remember was a knights contract. Would love to see that game appear here for a Easter I didn't know of.

Finally someone covered Raz's little cameo in madness returns, despite Alice's brain being a bit too much for the poor Psychonaut in training.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

And speaking of Raz, Cap better check out Psychonauts 2.

[@Thedragonlover95]

Yeah

[@SammEater]

Very fitting because Alice's Wonderland is pretty much like the worlds Raz goes to in both games.

Fam, i respect your commitment to these kinda things, and really playing these games insteed of just googling them

When a developer thanks me for playing their game I get some special kind of feels

[@benanjerris6744]

The catfish can be intepreted as "the guy caught the fish" or "a catfish". Catfish, as a common term for fakes and scammers, makes sense because the catfish caught the man. This is an incredibly exciting find for an easter egg, because it just plays the whole catfish-man-fisherman thing

[@carlossasso5494]

I found a second portal Easter Egg in Sunset Overdrive In the mission Max’s Parents when you’re at the top of the tower and you fall off, your character falls into a blue portal and then lands back up in an orange portal Found another sunset overdrive Easter Egg which is and Amp you get for completing the mission Concertpocalypse which the Amp is titled Fear The Reaper which is based of the title of a Blue Oyster Cult song with the name Don’t Fear The Reaper I know it’s a bit of a boring find but I really love it Also after you beat the mission the lead singer of the Malvins will leave using an umbrella like Mary Poppins Another one is when you unlock the fizzco baton it’s based of a green lightsaber

[@JacobOfUtopia.]

I noticed a somewhat interesting detail in MK11, and that is if you perform rains first fatality on kano, only one eye will pop out, just felt like letting the captain know

[@kellalizard]

I loved Alice:Madness Returns! The first one was pretty good too, but Madness Returns was better I thought. If anyone is interested, American McGee (the creator of the twisted Alice world (obviously not Lewis Carrol who wrote the OG story) is making a third instalment, you can donate to their Patreon and they give out some great merch for supporters!

[@pixpppp]

Indeed, I totally agree with you Cpt. Eggcellent.

The Alien Colonial Marines easter egg with the hats and the canes somehow more reminded me of the wormlings from Men In Black ...

[@irfanfadhzail4183]

I think the fisher man and the the catfish 2:55 is the reference to Red Dead Redemption 2 when John help the man to catch the fish but end up been eating by the fish

In Runic's Games " Hob", there is a tiny detail, the cloud's shadow falls on the ground actually move. Minor detail but greatly satisfying. Also grass reacting to player is really done well

I like making a, "Dip dip, potato chip!" reference when I see the Dread Duckies dancing. It looks so much like they're teabagging. XD

[@fudgerounds91]

Speaking of Colonial Marines, a lot of the game's problems can be fixed by fixing a typo in the code. There is one instance of "tether" that is spelled "teather" in the code, which completely breaks the Xenomorph AI. I think it should be scary that the game released with like 40% of it's issues being caused by the letter a.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

This is true, but unfortunately, the story is still janky, to be honest... and Gearbox hasn't made Brothers in Arms 4.

in hitman 2 if you use cheats to become invisible, in the mission The Source in Bangkok you can clear most of the exhibition hall by shooting out the projectors, not really an egg but more of a nice detail

[@gladwrapenjoyer1973]

“Spaceballs is a parody of Alien.” *insert J Jonah Jameson laughing*

[@firehedgehog1446]

Fun fact: the derpy AI in Aliens: Colonial Marines was caused by a typo in the game's code (no, seriously) some fan actually went into the game code and fixed the typo and it actually fixed the AI. Now why the devs couldn't do this on thier own I have no idea

[@nekovannox]

The Slender game that got popular via KZbin was actually the original Slender game, which then was remade into Slenderman: The Eight Pages, if I'm not mistaken (That game is also inspired by Marble Hornets, having a lot of iconic locations in it).

Well that's new and very impressive

Those ducks with legs dance the same way chocobos did in Final Fantasy VII on PsOne

Hey if you already haven't looked in world of warships on the admiral Graf spee on the midships you can see various pieces of the fake gun that they mounted to make it look like a British ship. Overall a cool detail I know there are loads more but this one is my favorite.

Cool fact (Which you probably know with that Eggcellent Easter egg ability) about the catfish at 2:50 . There is a character in the game League of Legends named Tahm Kench. He is a large catfish person that wears a similar hat and has a country accent as well as southern clothing. These two things may not be related, but that's the comparison that I made.

The classic example is the "pipe fairy" in Silent Hill 3, one of the finalists for the scariest game of all time in my opinion. It also had the infamous "UFO ending" just like the first two games (along-side the also infamous "dog ending" in 2). There was no shortage of funny hidden details and secrets in those games. I can name a few more if anyone's interested...

[@snezanastosic5023]

Oh pls do im interested to hear(read)😊🙏

[@ASpooneyBard]

@@snezanastosic5023 Sure thing. In the PS2 version of SH3, if you have a completed save file from SH2 on the memory card, you can activate a few hidden scenes that refence the previous game. If you examine one particular toilet full of brown water, it'll say there's something inside and ask if you'll reach in. Heather will start to reach in, but then she'll stop and say "Forget it! Who would even think of doing something so Disgusting!" while looking right into the camera. [Next one has a spoiler for the first game] If you run away for long enough during the fight with possessed Cybil, the merry-go-round will start moving and Cybil will start riding one of the horses until you get close enough to her. Then she'll start attacking again.
