10 Terrifyingly Dark Implications In Otherwise Cheerful Video Games

10. You Kidnap Or Kill Countless People - Katamari Damacy

Katamari Damacy has never been a series that has concerned itself with rationality or logic - but that doesn't mean it doesn't sometimes have some worrying implications.

Though the first time you picked up a living creature into your ball of chaos was no doubt a high moment of your game, it's a moment that also comes with some unsavoury implications to say the least.

Now, your first concern - and perhaps most logical concern - would be that these creatures (especially humans) will die in the katamari you create, as they're supposed to turn into stars - and it's safe to say that very few people can survive inside a star.

But, to be fair, this is thought to perhaps be a case of a translation issues, as in Japanese, the word hoshi can mean a star or a planet - meaning there's an equal chance the idea is that whatever you gather up becomes a planet, where presumably these creatures would live.

But that's also weird, because these people were getting on with their lives, and you've now sort of yeeted them to the other side of the galaxy. Hope they didn't leave the oven on.
