10 MORE Horror Video Game Fates Worse Than Death

10. Infected By A Parasite - Scorn

Almost every H.R. Giger painting looks like someone is suffering a fate worse than death. As such, it's no surprise that this game, which turns the whole Giger style into a living, breathing world, makes it onto the list. Still, while there are many awful fates in Scorn, the ending stands apart as the most horrific.  

Throughout the game, you play as a nameless protagonist traversing a bizarre techno-biological landscape. As if the gooey setting wasn't bad enough, you also have to constantly battle against the player-character from Act 1, who has become a stalking parasite. Even after you've rid yourself of it, it's still a looming threat. 

Towards the end of the game, you are inches away from making it through a strange looking portal when this parasite returns. It assimilates with you, keeping you stuck in place and feeding on you with the salvation you'll now never reach mere meters away.  

Scorn is mired in ambiguity. But, one thing that is clear is how you'd be better off dead than stuck in this position.
