20 Video Games That Mock You For Failing The Tutorial
3. DISTRICT IN MOURNING: BURNED-OUT COP SHOOTS CHILD - Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium is a unique RPG in which you play as an alcoholic and deeply depressed cop named Harry du Bois. Your character is obviously not in the best place in his life. The game really loves to remind you of it by setting you up for failure, including in the very introduction to Disco Elysium's story.
The first day in the game really serves as a long tutorial that teaches you about how Harry and his partner Kim will have to act during their one-week investigation into the mysterious murder in Revachol. There are actually multiple unique and quite shameful game over endings that you can get on day one, including Harry being fired for shooting a child.
Yes, in case you needed a reminder that shooting minors is a big no-no, the game has a special bad ending prepared for you on your first day of investigation.
While investigating a hanged corpse, where two really annoying kids, Cuno and Cunoesse, are playing, if you convince Kim to give you his gun, you can try intimidating the children by pointing the gun at Cunoesse… or go one step further and actually pull the trigger.
This act of Cunoslaughter will immediately prompt a game over screen describing people's horrified reactions to your deranged actions, because let's be honest, you don't deserve to keep playing after something like this.
