10 Creepy Video Game Easter Eggs You Can't Explain

1. Game-Boy Camera - Who Are You Running From?

This is genuinely horrifying. If you've read the rest of the list and barely been perturbed, then this is the one for you. And no, we're not talking about the horrifying mistake that was the Game-Boy Camera (though that is unsettling in its own right).

The camera came with a bunch of mini-games, one of which was a meek turn-based combat style game akin to pokemon. Only, if you chose to run, you'd be met with a picture of a vandalised face.

These pictures are nightmare-fuel and were hidden in a game packaged for kids. They had marker drawn on them in post and featured a similar message chastising the player for running.

Just looking at them is enough to raise hairs on the back of your neck. There have been many inquiries about what they mean and why they are in the game, no nothing substantial came back. Most people assumed it was a rogue developer who hid them in the code. But they are chilling to look at.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
