10 Video Games Where You're Secretly The Villain

10. Rider - Furi

Furi is a short but ruthless shoot-em-up in which you play as a mysterious convict trying to escape from a highly advanced futuristic prison. The game starts off with you being endlessly tortured by one of the prison's ten jailers, so it's easy to assume you're the victim here. However, behind every prisoner is a crime they got imprisoned for.

As you venture deeper into the prison and kill more of your jailers, you start to notice that not every single one of your enemies is as ruthless as the first one. Although they all want to subdue you, they don't act out of malice. One fights you just because he thinks you're a danger to his child, while another even lets you have a chance to go back before you force them to fight.

So what's all this about? Well, once you manage to escape, it turns out your character is a scout sent by alien invaders in order to look for a planet worthy of destruction. Yep, the entire time you were breaking out of prison, just to doom billions of people to death.

Well, maybe next time they'll know not to torture you.

Not that there'll be a next time...
