Now a list on the internet that covers video game twists has to contain either Bioshock of spec Ops, it is simply law at this point.

One of the weirdest games to date, Spec Ops The Line was such a surprise when it came out. Not only did it have a mesmerising setting of a city buried in sand, but it flipped everything on its head, made America the bad guys and the player the villain. All without realising.

Walker is obsessed with bringing to Konrad and throughout the game Konrad constantly questioning the morality of the player's actions, even forcing them to make some tough decisions.

In the closing scene, it turns out Konrad has been dead for some time now and that Walker is suffering from a dissociative disorder. This explains his hallucinations and some of the hideous actions. Even when the truth is laid out in front of Walker, he can still choose to believe his own twisted reality at the end and blame somebody else for what took place in Dubai.
