10 Gruesome Video Game Moments That Were Genuinely Hard To Watch
2. Dr Trager Torture (Outlast)
Dr Trager is one of the most memorable villains from the first Outlast, and the player's initial encounter with him is destined to end badly as he restrains you in a wheelchair and wheels you off to a grimy bathroom, waxing lyrical about religion and brandishing an enormous set of shears.
Without any hesitation, Trager walks up our protagonist, Miles, and snips off one of the fingers of his right hand. We see the screen go blurry as Miles nearly loses consciousness, but Trager smacks him around the head to keep him awake before moving over to the other hand and taking a second finger.
Outlast is one of the goriest and most frightening video games of recent years, but this scene in particular was one of the most memorable. Trager seems so desperately mad and we have absolutely no control over the sequence, forced to sit and watch as poor Miles gets his digits amputated.
