10 Disturbing Moments In Non-Horror Games
4. Bloody Mary - The Wolf Among Us
Introduced as a ruthless and psychopathic antagonist within The Wolf Among Us, Bloody Mary is merciless from her first encounter.
Whilst her slight frame and features
imply that she may be physically weaker than other fables, she is not an enemy
to be underestimated. She proves this by shooting Bigby with a silver bullet.
It becomes even more apparent when she reveals her true form, taking influence from the urban legend she is based upon.
Between the bloodied shards of glass embedded throughout her body and how she crunches and cracks with every movement, Bloody Mary is every inch a monster.
Due to her ability to manipulate mirrors and her loyalty to the Crooked Man, she slips in and out of shot at a high speed when fighting Bigby. She can also create literal mirror images of herself, as equally violent and deadly as the original.
Whilst she can be beaten, she definitely leaves more of an impression than previous antagonists, testing the player’s attention and reaction speeds. Her true form may lack the savage wit and cunning of her initial self, but her desire for violence is completely undiminished even in her final moments.
