10 Disturbing Video Game Endings That Will Haunt You Forever
5. Failing To Stop Kaneshiro - Persona 5
Whilst there are several uncomfortable outcomes that can occur if you fail to stop any of Persona 5's numerous scumbags and sadists, it's the ending that's forced upon you for failing to take down local crime lord Kaneshiro that will truly turn your stomach.
Upon first meeting him, he makes several references to selling young girls into illegal services and refers to both Makoto and Ann as 'goods', which should give you enough of an indication as to how much of a vile creature he is.
Should you fail to stop him for any reason, Makoto is kidnapped, drugged, and forced into prostitution before being discovered by the police and rescued.
Throughout her drug-induced stupor, she kept repeating the name 'Joker', which leads to the police directly to you. To make matters worse, not only does Makoto suffer a truly terrible fate, but Joker is then shot and killed whilst in police custody. Making this one a double whammy on unpleasantness that could have been so easily avoided.
All the upbeat acid-jazz music in the world isn't enough to wash away the ickiness that this ending presents you with.
