10 Bleak Video Game Endings You Can't Escape From

10. It's Kill Or Be Infected - Dying Light

The fast undead of Dying Light are no joke. So much so that even the game's endings try to show how screwed the world is with all of them running around.

Despite the base game having a predetermined ending, the DLC allows the player to decide the fate of the people of Harran, and, well, let's just say neither of the choices leave much hope for humanity's survival.

The DLC focuses on the protagonist Kyle Crane's discovery of a sentient Infected called Mother. Although she is part of the undead, she wants to protect humanity from the plague, and in order to do so, she tells Kyle to activate nukes that would blow up his city.

However, since Harran is filled with his friends, the choice feels devastating, and so most people would opt for defying Mother instead.

The problem is that if you do so, you do not protect Harran. Opposition leads to Mother infecting Kyle with the virus before dying, and then the hero runs away to spread the plague all over the world, overrunning the survivors with the zombie horde.

The ending choice is just two degrees of apocalypse, showing you that the humanity is doomed to fail against the infection.
