Top 8 DISTURBING MOMENTS found in NON-HORROR Games

[@CutCafe]

Hey, just wanted to remind everyone that if a game you thought should have been included WASN'T, that probably just means I haven't played it. You're welcome to comment what games you think SHOULD have been in the list below in the case I decide to make a sequel, but please just be civil. I've gotten a surprising amount of comments that seem genuinely angry with me for not including moments from games I've genuinely never heard of. Just because I didn't include a certain moment doesn't mean I hate it or something! I'll be sure to include some of them in the future!

[@StarlightDrawing]

why are there no replies here, lemme fix that

[@tinypinkittycat]

To be fair, you don't have to include these three separately. Undertale, Deltarune, and Oneshot's major haunting horror is "Two wrongs don't make a right, true justice is not vengeance, it's to defend, protect, and rebuild and learn. Your actions matter, agency is powerful enough to make or break everything, so chose wisely in all worlds!" And showing you for yourself the consequences of evil actions down to even the smallest of things.

[@rosykindbunny1313]

Vanessa's scariness doesn't end there. When she was still human, she would obsess over the prince. She cut his hair while he was sleeping so they could match, she grew jealous of his teacher when he was studying abroad, and she even banned bacon because she thought he loved it more than he loved her. Eventually, when she transformed into the monster that you see in the game, she froze her entire kingdom into the wasteland you previously journeyed through, killing everyone. The subcon minions you see throughout the chapter are the souls of the dead who were given vessels by Snatcher.

That last one is fucking horrifying. Imagine searching for sprites out of a passion for the game, and the browser closes. Booting up a cheat engine to maybe get a better view of the stage (maybe you think it looks nice, or you're easter egg hunting and want to check out-of-bounds), and the stage looks like actual hell. Alter the game's code to maybe make a more custom playthrough (like making enemies harder to beat as a personal challenge), and now you can't actually beat the game because of the ghosts. Since you don't have much use for the game now you delete it. But it comes back. You do some research and it turns out the developer has your IP address to reinstall the game manually. Not only that, but they have your passwords and credit card information. And now you have to call them and get them to delete it and set you free, even though they could just as easily say no and keep all of your private info. I really hope the dev got arrested, simply because there's no way it's safe to even have one *trustworthy* person keeping all that information: if they get hacked, someone else who's likely much more malicious gets all of it too.

Subnautica. Literally all of Subnautica. My first impressions of the game was you being stranded on an Alien Planet with goofy fish, but the game makes it clear that you are alone, hopeless, and surrounded by an entire ecosystem that wants to kill you that is simultaneously falling apart and facing mass extinction. And despite it being psychologically and traditionally horrifying, the devs even stated that its a survival game, not a horror game.

There's been plenty of dark and somewhat scary or stressful moments in the Ace Attorney series But in my opinion the most disturbing scene happens in Duel Destinies, the fifth mainline Ace Attorney game, which is probably the reason the game is rated Mature instead of Teen like the other games. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DUEL DESTINIES By the time this scene happens it has been established that one of the main characters of that game, Athena Cykes,'s mother was murdered by some sort of spy and that the person who confessed to the crime, Simon Blackquill, could not have actually done it. Also sometime before you go into court to defend Athena for a different but very much related murder, when talking about her mother and her mother's death it turns out that she's lying and Phoenix's Magatama reacts, showing black psyche locks (which mean that she's subconsciously lying), which have only ever appeared when talking to a very evil character a game before. During court you are questioning Blackquill about the murder and he continuously denies his innocence, changing his lies every testimony until eventually you whittle him down to the truth of what he saw the day Athena's mom was murdered. And what he saw was Athena's mom on an operating table meant for robots dead from a stab wound, the bloody murder weapon lying on the ground, and little eleven-year-old Athena covered in blood in between them. Athena looked at him with a smile and a far off look in her eye and said "Something's wrong with Mom, so I'm taking her apart to fix her!" Athena had no idea about this because she repressed the memory, so she thinks she actually killed her mother. Blackquill is upset because he was lying to protect Athena. It turns out Athena didn't actually kill her mother or take her apart on the operating table (though she was going to do the latter before Blackquill walked in because she thought that might save her previously murdered mom which is, well, yikes), but its still a terrifying visual and some pretty disturbing implications about what might've happened if Blackquill hadn't walked in at the moment he did.

[@infinityc2859]

Forgot to mention that Athena is a very joyful, friendly, and likeable character throughout most of the game and seeing the bloody image of her as a kid and her horrified realization that she might've actually killed her mom is chilling.

Honestly? I feel like horror games work best as an RPG. Something about exploring an area in 3 dimenions while being stalked by a shadow creature, who could appear at any moment? I feel like you can play some horror games without seeing much scary shit, because it's about tension, not scares. Normally through chases, jumpscare, or POV gore (be it your own, or someone elses'). But unlike POV Horror, where you only get to see the monster for a second before you turn away from it. You don't get to see how it moves. Don't get to see how it hungers for you. Because you're too focused on the obstacles ahead of you. I prefer having a 360 view, so that planning out routes is more fun and rewarding, and we get to see how the creature moves, if you get creative with animations, this can be really good!

Undertale really is creepy at times, not just from moments like the true lab, but from a thematic standpoint. The game plays with natural human curiosity in a really creepy way, plus sans being aware of the multiple timelines and flowey having done every route infinite times is pretty dark thematically. Then there's the ending of the genocide route, where you are forced to watch sans bleed out and ask his brother a question even though he's already dead. You are also forced to beat flowey to death, and the ending scene with Chara terrified me as a kid

I can't believe someone in the wild mentioned FusionFall. I feel like very few remember or played it. FusionFall overall was a game that I hadn't expected to have such Dark tones in it. The game literally started off (originally) in the Bad Timeline, where the planet was LOSING. In fact Earth was basically already gone, and they are mere moments away from being wiped out completely on their little island of psuedo-normalcy until they send you back in time with Dexter's Time Machine. It's just a shame that the game didn't do well. It was such a charming art style, the way they seamlessly blending in multiple different IP characters into a conceivably believable way. Then there was the custom zones. The endgame zones were Lord Fuse had already taken over like the Badlands. The GIANT, beautiful waterfall, Megas XLR being stuck I'm a junkyard because of the green alien goo. It was such a great game. I wish they would have released it as a Single-player or Co-Op experience.

One of the most terrifying things I ever encountered is Love Town from Library of Ruina. Library of Ruina is a game set in a mega city where play as the librarians who invite people from the city to their Library and turn them into books... I know that sounds dark and the game hhas it's really dark moments, but for the point in which you get the Love Town reception, it's had a pretty light tone so far. There's a few time they make you sad and death is very common but mot of the time the tone is rather light... until you get to Love Town. You see 2 people enter a train that is supposed to take 10 seconds. Then 10 minutes pass. Then 10 hours pass. Then 10 days pass. Then 10 weeks pass. Then 10 years pass. And death isn't an escape either, all pain and cuts are permeant and no one can die even as they are a mound of flesh, this pain however is the only thing that is on the train so people start to brutalize each other and themselves to feel *anything* at all after so long trapped on the train. But the not the worst part, remember the 2 people we followed (Well not psychically but it's a bit hard to explain) well they happened to find a 2 doctors that said they can help them not go insane!... Combining both of them into a horrid monster with the emotional intelligence of toddler. But that all isn't the worst part, the worst part is that this was intentional. The delay, the people going insane, all intentional. The train never malfunctioned. The train works by leaving it's passengers trapped in this hell for so long and then just simply reversing them back to normal and wiping their memories.

[@_skyfall_multi_5848]

You've also left some details that I'd like to mention - The WARP train uses technology in order to transport itself into a different dimension, which is why the doors and windows of the train are locked shut. - In this dimension, the mechanism to bring them back to the dimension of the City needs to recharge it's energy, which takes a total of (if I recall correctly) 2000 YEARS. - The moment the train leaves, your current physical state remains throughout the entire trip. One of the characters was asleep when the train took off, and this resulted in him being tired and about to pass out from exhaustion throughout the whole trip, if I recall correctly. - The company that runs these trains, WARP Corporation, has a specific department called the Cleanup Crew, which enter the trains in the other dimension a bit before the train is about to reach it's destination, and fix, clean and, let's say, rearrange the passengers and the train to how it was before it took off, putting everyone back in their seats and healing all of their injuries, before erasing their memories of the trip. - Time in the other dimension flows differently, so the 2000 years in the other dimension actually are 10 seconds in the City. And the most disturbing part of all, in my opinion, - First class passengers are put in preservation containers and are essentially unconscious and perfectly preserved for the whole trip. Essentially, if you buy first class tickets, your only perks are not suffering in the train for more than a dozen centuries. I've played all three games that this studio has made and even though I haven't completed any of them because of the sheer difficulty spike, I can sure as hell tell you that the City is INCREDIBLY fucked up because the WARP trains are just the TIP of the iceberg- (Edited to say "studio" instead of "company" because honestly I don't know why I called PM a company--)

This may not be the most well known game, but I used to play the first Thief game when I was a kid and man, the undead and the Trickster levels always shook me. For context since it is an older game, you play as a... thief... that uses stealth mechanics, a first in 1st person games of the era, to rob medieval lords and nobles. Since you played as a thief, the game made sure to make you pretty vulnerable with most enemies being able to kick your ass in a head on fight, so you had to be really stealthy in order to avoid them outright. Suddenly, the game throws you on a mission to rob some crypts of some priceless artifacts and man, the mazelike architecture, the sounds the zombies and haunts made, how easy was to get lost in it. A kid like me felt they were going to pop out and kill me. Later on in the game, you encounter some crazy levels where the main antagonist is sort of a pagan cult named the Trickster. The Sword mission, where you enter the house of their lord to steal the titular sword, starts simple enough on the first floor, but on the second floor the architecture goes off the rails wildly, with a continuous giggle mocking you in the background. It always sound at irregular times and it sounds like it just comes from behind you, yet you turn around and nothing is there. Later games would cut down on the supernatural parts of the lore, relegating them to one mission or 2 at most, but the ambience in that game was superb. It made use of the sound like no other game did back then.

Surprised Disgaea 2’s worst ending didn’t get on there. It is the mother of all shocking swerves. Most of the game: Comedic parody of anime and RPGs. Worst ending: Real Overlord Zenon possesses Adell. He then proceeds to brutally kill and eat his adopted siblings (ages 9 and 11). Complete with realistic gulping, slurping, and bone crunching noises.

FINALLY someone talks about Mimi. I couldn't get past world 2 for YEARS because I was so scared of her.

[@IsMgb45]

Its very minor - and not that horrifying i admit - but in the game Okami, during the sunken ship stage, the faces of two previous bosses (crimson helm and spider queen) would stare closely at the screem as spirits/ghost. While they were not screamers/big jumpscares, the sense of having my personal space invaded and not being able to do something about it really made me anxious - specially with the spider queen, as she's a paled skin, black haired, eyeless creature with a large mouth, and she appears to inch closer than the helm

[@gabew8104]

Honestly that section scared me too when I played the game for the first time as a kid. when i got to the part where the giant hand comes out of the water, I noped tf out of there and pretty much maxed out what i could before realizing I couldn't progress myself any further without going through the ship. then i put the game down for a couple of years before finally picking it back up and playing through the entire game.

One moment for me would be Halved Halved Halved from Noisz Starlivht, a mobile game that's both a rhythm game and a bullet hell avoidance at the same time and I love that game. So anyways you get to the most recent chapter added so far, chapter 5 (true heroes) and the song collection is absolute goated here, but then when you reach 5.III, you get a warning that the next song you are going to face contains some disturbing content. Lets just say it was not joking. That song is not just disturbing, but comes with one of the greatest rhythm game charts out there that is just as creepy as the song itself!

Another great video, however there is ONE moment that im a bit sad didnt get mentioned, and thats the Project Cynosure from Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty by the time you reach project cynosure you have dealt with some of the most difficult enemies the game has to throw at you, you are a certified killer and nothing should be a problem for you anymore. Suddenly, without warning, all your powers are taken away from you, you loose connection with johnny and are left with, for the first time since the start of act two, truely by yourself. the game then proceeds to turn into alien isolation without warning with a big, scary, murder bot right behind you being controlled by the cybernetic equivelent of a demon. its fast, its loud, and its constantly fucking talking to you "You have nothing to fear if you do not exist". theres something about going from the strongest person in the city to a scared worthless baby that makes it so terrifying still good vid though

Gotta mention a slightly disturbing moment in a kind of vague non-horror game. In Just Shapes & Beats, a rhythm game, the main boss gets impaled in the skull twice. There is blood both times and the second time is def more dark as it does turn the boss into a sort of mindless monster. The implication that he survived dying as this monster also adds a disturbing thought. Hey, at least it’s just shapes tho so it isn’t super horrifying.

An obscure horror example for me is the Etrian Odyssey saga of games, in each one there's a secret postgame dungeon that's wildly different from the standard fantasy aesthetic of 90%.

One of my all time favorite point and click’s is „Edna and Harvey: The Break out“ which was given a USK 0 (basically the German version of Rated E), but when the the collector’s edition came out, the devs put a bunch of swears in the developer comments, so that it had to be classified as USK 12 (Rated T). Spoiler warning for those who care. BECAUSE someone didn’t actually look at the game when they rated it, as some of the things in the game are: Edna’s (the titular protagonist) Father was executed for murdering a kid. (Not seen on screen but discussed) There is a section were the she is locked in a room with a guy who just murdered someone, and you have to use the corpse, which is still hanging partially on screen, to kill the murderer. One of the two ending has Edna push someone down a flight of stairs in an attempt to murder them. There is more but those are the first few things that popped into my head.

Chapter 5 of Okage: Shadow King. You've been adventuring around, trying to find a way to restore the Evil King Stan to his former glory by defeating all the other (supposedly Fake) Evil Kings in the world, and finally one of them takes you to the thing that turned him into an Evil King, a Magic Circle. And Ari, the main character, is forced to step inside the magic circle. Suddenly, everyone just...walks away. Like, they comment on how that was a bust, but everyone, even Evil King Stan(Your shadow at this point, so shouldn't be able to leave you behind, but he does), just wanders away...and you begin to realize that everyone, everywhere in the world, has forgotten about you. This leads to a trip to all the towns where, if you don't assert yourself, if you just respond with ... to every question you're asked, you'll be forgotten forever. Mind, if you assert yourself, you find a town of people who have been likewise forgotten, and with the help of one of them, a woman with some mysterious power, you restore yourself...finding out that while you were 'missing', some of your party destroyed towns with their battles(Not everyone is with you for reasons that are good, some are downright evil). Worse is that the one who did this, who erased you, did so deliberately. He TRICKED the Evil King with the magic circle to get you to stand in it, since you're not part of 'His' world. You eventually learn he accidentally erased his own daughter with the power that allowed him to do that, 'Classification', and has since made a duplicate he parades around as the real thing, the world you know, and all the people in it, being under his influence to try and keep his 'not real' daughter entertained. It's horrifying, disturbing, and in the end, a little sad.

Here's some disturbing moments in non-horror games I could think of: Bug Fables - The Giant's Lair: For a Paper Mario inspired indie game, it didn't back down on making the final dungeon horrific. Once you enter The Giant's Lair, there are massive creatures that attempt to kill you. It was revealed the world was eradicated of life, resulting with the extinction of humanity. These monsters now inhabit each an every location of Earth right after insects gain senses akin to humans. Splatoon did something similar, except with sea animals replaces us entirely. The reveal of Bug Fables taking place in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity was wiped out in their entirety, makes this cutesy indie title worth checking out by both Paper Mario and RPG fans alike. Final Fantasy X - Anima: The franchise is no stranger to terrifying moments, Final Fantasy XIV's expansion Shadowbringers became a horror game after all(also counting the angelic monsters people turn into, and the unforgettable Titania jumpscare). When we get to fight Seymour a second time, he revealed to Tidus and the Guardians his ultimate summon, a colossal, writhing cadaver known as Anima. We later found out the Aeon was reanimated from Seymour's mother, who sacrificed herself in the first battle against Sin with Yu Yevon. Seymour blamed himself over her death whilst young, and she became Anima after a sinister turn of events that followed up until Sin's return to terrorize the land of Spira anew. You can even let Yuna recruit her, which can be ideal for a face-off between Anima and one of the superbosses introduced to FFX and X-2's HD Remaster, Dark Anima. Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories - The Organization Members' Demise: Chain of Memories is the darkest installment of the series imo. The appropriately titled Dark Road goes second. Every single death of the Organization XIII members are completely brutal; examples include Axel snapping his fingers, with Vexen spontaneously combusting(made more graphic in the vanilla version on the GBA, by having Vexen's neck slit from Axel's chakrams), whatever the hell happened to Zexion, Lexaeus getting slashed by Riku once he enters "Darkness Mode", and Larxene questioning herself why she's about to vanish(it's worse in the Japanese dub where Larxene sounded horrified by her disappearing into black smoke). Hilarious that this was the same IP about Michael Rat, and the many misadventures Sora(or other characters) had in Disney's Animated Canon. Shit gets fucked up, hence the Final Fantasy influence there. Metal Gear Solid 1 - Psycho Mantis: Hideo Kojima really loves breaking the 4th wall to bring suspense in his games, doesn't he? When you encounter Psycho Mantis, he moves Meryl like a ragdoll and mocks Snake, even threatening to let Meryl kill herself, then mentions the games you played on your PS1(GameCube in the Twin Snakes remake), and manipulates the gameplay/Snake's psyche, forcing you to insert a second controller and actually defeat him, as mentioned by Colonel Campbell prior to the boss battle. Egoraptor satirized this at the end of his animation Metal Gear Awesome 2. Darkstalkers 3 - Fetus of God: The final stage where you face Jedah in the Arcade Mode, regardless of character you chose. This dimension holds the 'child' Jedah created for world domination. The pulsating flesh on the wall, the baby's blank impression, and everything about Jedah(the character mutilates himself in his moveset). The stage was even banned in many Darkstalkers 3 tournaments, which I find the most appropriate, but still very fucked up like Jedah's ending in particular. Devil May Cry 5 - The Fate of Red Grave City: An entire month passed when Red Grave City was attacked by legions of demons and the Qliphoth. And countless people, including children were drained from their blood, thus becoming lifeless husks(mostly due in part by the Empusas whom I jokingly call 'bees'), as mentioned by V at the end of Mission 2, and throughout most of the game. During the Prologue and Missions 8, 10, and 12, if you look close enough, there would be this IV cable connected to Urizen's throne. When realizing the Qliphoth's Fruit harnessed the blood of every human who had their flesh absorbed within a single month, the throne apparently having Urizen's tentacles transfer the blood prior to devouring the Fruit, and Urizen being Vergil alongside V, there was an iota of fridge horror now present in your mind after realizing Urizen, or should we say 'Vergil' consumed the blood of every man, woman, and child around to obtain absolute power. Just inexplicably fucked up beyond belief, as this franchise strayed far from horror after the first installment! Which is understandable since DMC1 is formerly one of the many prototypes to Resident Evil 4 along with Onimusha and Haunting Ground; all three became their own IPs separate from Rezzie/Biohaz in order to have an identity different from what would make RE4 iconic in the first place.

Etrian Odyssey has a few disturbing moments in nearly every game. To name a few: -The 6th Stratum in EO1 is the Claret Hollows, which is a living being, the dungeon you’re walking on is pretty much the inside of an organism, you can even see veins and the entire dungeon is blood red, almost as if you’re in a muscle or blood vessel -In EO2, there’s a separate guild other than you. At a specific point, they actively try to get in your way to stop your progress. This is because the boss of one of the stratums is actually one of their guild mates mutated, it’s revealed to be the sister to one of them in the remake. When you defeat the boss, the guild has you vow to get vengeance on the one who did this (aka the final boss) -EO3’s extra boss is the Abyssal God, an interdimensional lovecraftian horror that can read your movements -EO5’s 6th stratum is a space bridge full of unnatural beings. On this bridge you can see a lot of destroyed planets, including one that looks similar (but isn’t) to Earth. The boss of this stratum is the Star Devourer, which as the name suggests is the reason that happened. The Star Devourer was responsible for the extermination of an entire people of which one of the NPCs was the sole survivor of. It was sealed in order to solidify said NPC would have a safe passage to other planets and it still is when you fight it.

The Cruel King and The Great Hero. The nightmare section was soul crushing. I bought a special edition of it. It had a short story. I'll summarize the story so it isn't so long. Yuu was the child of the Hero who passed away. The Dragon King being a close friend of the hero, took Yuu under his wing as his own daughter. He recounts stories of the Hero to Yuu, which inspires her to become just like her papa. The Dragon King startled, simply smiled and supported Yuu's dream. While they were sleeping Yuu mumbled in her sleep, "I'll become a great hero like Papa..." The Dragon King replied. "You will. I know you will..." "Even if it means you'll defeat me one day." The disturbing part comes after Yuu learns the truth about her father, the King, being the former Demon King. After defeating the Dragon King, she raises her father's sword, her whole body shaking, preparing herself to cut her father's head off. But before she gets the chance, Arthur a spider demon and right hand man of the Dragon King turns on the Dragon King and stabs Yuu with her sword. She blacks out then wakes up in the fountain world, she speaks with the fountain spirit, and confronts the shadows in her heart. The game takes a complete 180 in the art direction, what had formerly been colorful and vibrant landscapes, turned to shades of black and white, the enemies she fought became distorted. Reading the descriptions of the nightmare enemies gave me the creeps. And in the final part of the nightmare sequence, she has to fight herself. During the fight, Yuu has to listen to herself berate her, telling her things like. "Dad is dead because of you." basically blaming herself that about everything bad that happened. I won't say what happens after you beat it cause the disturbing part was only the nightmare sequence.
