10 Dark Video Games Moments That Came Out Of Nowhere

Tarsier Studios' puzzle-platformer follows a raincoat-wearing girl called Six, who must navigate through a mysterious vessel while avoiding its monstrous occupants. 

Now, it's obvious straight away Little Nightmares is going to be dark. (The clue is in the title.) Mere minutes after booting it up, the mysterious protagonist encounters deadly worms and murderous humanoids with disproportionate limbs. 

The only harmless creatures Six meets on her journey are a group of skittish critters called Nomes. These little guys are scared of Six at first, but eventually see her as an ally.

Although little is revealed about Six for the most part, you safely assume she's a hero. Sure, she devours a helpless rat at one point, but you can't blame her since she was starving.

However, players' opinions flip on Six during one infamous incident. Near the climax, Six is hit with hunger pangs yet again, causing her to seek out food. There doesn't seem to be any cause for alarm, since a Nome offers Six a sausage soon after.

And yet, Six ignores the sausage and attacks the Nome, gorging on his body. This sequence stays with players since it contradicts the established dynamic, creating a sense of betrayal that lasts long after the credits roll.
