10 Brutal Video Games That Kill You IMMEDIATELY

9. Another World

Demon Souls
Delphine Software

In the oldest game on this list, we have the indie platform adventure title Another World.

A short introductory cutscene sees you assume the role of Lester Chaykin. Arriving at his lab, Lester is established as a scientist working at the terminal of a particle accelerator.

If you think about the attempted recreation of the Big Bang in Switzerland back in 2009, then the volatile nature of the project is already fairly obvious.

A thunderstorm interferes with the operating systems of the accelerator, sending electric shockwaves through the wiring and teleporting Lester's office to an alien-infested planet.

The player may begin controlling Lester as soon as his terminal appears in the body of water, and unless you begin swimming for the surface immediately, you are in big trouble.

As Lester looks to break the surface, several black tentacles begin snaking up from the bottom of the screen, looking the drag our young red-headed scientist to a watery grave.

Move fast enough and you will pull yourself to the surface, evading the tentacles. Except you might not. If you don't run away from the water's edge quickly enough, then they will emerge and drag you back down to your death anyway.
