10 Recent Video Game Plot Twists NOBODY Saw Coming

10. Jim Doesn't Have A Brain Tumor - As Dusk Falls

Everyone in As Dusk Falls has a secret.

Initially, this story sees a family - comprised of married couple Vince and Michelle, their young daughter, and Vince's dad, Jim - taken hostage in a motel by a gang of armed robbers. Vince and Jim are only recently on speaking terms, with the latter by all accounts being a pretty rotten father to his son throughout the years. However they've reconnected because Jim has a brain tumour, and doesn't have long left to live.

Now, keep that last detail in mind, as it becomes important when you're forced to made tough choices throughout the game. At one point, you're allowed to choose one of the hostages to send out to safety, and you might think Jim is a good candidate. Yeah, he was a dirtbag in the past, but keeping a sickly old man trapped in this situation could be the equivalent of giving him a death sentence - especially after he takes a blow to the head.

If you do choose to save Jim though, on the way out he'll confess to his son that he actually just made up his brain tumour so his family would take sympathy on him and allow him to make amends. What a bastard.

After this, it's up to you whether you can forgive such a huge fib.
