10 Disturbing Video Game Twists That Came Out Of NOWHERE

10. You're In A Simulation - Harvester

The twist that a character has been dreaming the whole time is one of the most cliched plot twist in narrative history, to the point that it's likely considered 'a bit much' even by children who are just learning to write.

However, Harvester is so damn weird that it manages to make what should have been a very dull reveal incredibly, incredibly wild. After joining a cult, watching some children eat their mother, and several other unnerving events, it's revealed that none of this happened in real life, and that you are instead stuck in a high-tech VR simulator.

This actually ends up creating an even more tense scenario, as you're then told the purpose of this VR test was to try and turn you into a serial killer. Before you can come to terms with this, you're given the choice to either kill your romantic interest - which will also kill her in real life, but should allow you to go free - or to live out the rest of your days with her in the simulation, knowing the world you inhabit is fake.

It's not a game that's wise to play before you put on your own VR set, in short.
