10 Exact Moments Video Game Heroes Became Villains
6. Mustache Girl - A Hat In Time
A Hat in Time is a simple and adorable platformer about a young girl traveling through time, and yet it does feature a pretty bonkers villain arc of a character named Mustache Girl.
Yes, the game's main villain is a little girl with dapper-looking facial hair.
When your character finds herself stranded in the town of the Mafia Cooks due to your time machine malfunctioning, Mustache Girl is the only person who's willing to stand up to the criminals. She helps you fight them multiple times as you search for the Time Pieces that can get you back home.
Eventually, you manage to find enough Time Pieces to fix your time machine, but as your character is about to leave, the girl tells you that you should use them to go back in time and destroy the Mafia before they have a chance to rise in power.
When your character disagrees, Mustache Girl turns on her, deeming her selfish, and steals the Time Pieces to become the ruler of her own mafia-free world.
What makes this betrayal great is that it really makes you realize that your character is kind of selfish. Mustache Girl, as extreme as she is about destroying the Mafia, is kind of right for being mad at you.
