10 Times Video Games Lied To Your Face

10. No One Actually Dies - Little Hope

Little Hope is considered to be the worst title in Supermassive Games' Dark Pictures Anthology series. The reason for this is the game's ending, which reveals, spolier alert, that none of the choices you've made throughout the story mattered.

The big "spooky" twist of Little Hope is that all but one character were just figments of the imagination of the protagonist, Andrew, and your hard fight for their survival was happening entirely in his head as a means of processing the guilt of killing the other characters in a car crash.

So what's the point of keeping them alive? You might be thinking that maybe the more of Andrew's imaginary friends you save, the better he copes with his past, but no. There are only two endings in the game, and they are determined by whether or not you were nice to the only other real character in the story, a random stranger named Vince.

How you treat Vince determines whether he calls the cops on you or not at the end of the story. All that struggle with survival and fending off demons? Completely irrelevant.

When only a few minutes of your five-hour game matter, the rug-pull probably wasn't going to be worth it.
