10 Brutal Video Games That Kill You IMMEDIATELY
6. The Evil Within
Following a short cutscene to introduce the characters and the premise of the story, you are thrust into the perilous shoes of Detective Sebastian Castellanos as he must uncover the truth behind the strange happenings of Beacon Mental Hospital.
As you enter the asylum alongside your partners, Joseph and Juli, you are met with red-stained walls and a dozen corpses. To find out what happens, the detectives visit the surveillance room to re-watch the tapes.
This is where a paranormal entity seemingly teleports behind you and lunges at you just as the screen cuts to white.
You wake up dangling from the ceiling, your feet bound together and draped over a meat hook. This is where you meet the Sadist; a monstrous man covered in blood and wielding a chainsaw.
After you free yourself from the hook and attempt your escape without alerting your would-be butcher. You accidentally set off a tripwire alarm, which sets the Sadist on your heels and ready to hunt for his meat.
As you run through these unknown corridors you have no idea just how close behind you the Sadist is, even getting so close as to get a pretty good slash at Sebastian's calf.
Although you do miraculously escape his clutches, it certainly sets the tone for the rest of the game.
