10 Disturbing Video Game Endings That Will Haunt You Forever
8. Bad Ending - Harvester
Forever a lightning rod for controversy, Harvester is a point-and-click adventure game that aimed to satirise the increasing levels of violence in video games by bombarding the audience with as much gore as possible.
Players take on the role of ordinary teenager Steve Mason, who mysteriously awakens in the town of Harvest in the year 1953. A seemingly idyllic town that just so happens to be under the control of a mysterious cult - one that Steve must perform increasingly bizarre tasks for in order to escape.
At the story's end, players are given the choice to reject the cult and net themselves the good ending, or they can choose for Steve to beat his girlfriend to death, rip out her skull, and offer it up to the cult - which ultimately releases Steve from their grasp.
He then hitches a ride home with a stranger, who he proceeds to kill and eat. The depravity then continues by having the camera go down Steve's throat and into his stomach to see the remains of the stranger being slowly digested - all the while his mother rants at him about how violent video games will rot his mind.
Satirical, or just plain sick?...
