10 Horrifying Video Game Truths You Never Noticed

7. The Red Zone's Few Remaining Citizens Are Mostly Suicidal - Prototype 2

Prototype 2's Red Zone is a region of New York City which has become totally ravaged by the Blacklight virus, overrun by a colossal horde of the infected while actual human beings are extremely few and far between.

But if you explore the Red Zone's rooftops, you'll periodically come across scattered survivors, most of whom sadly take a suicidal leap from the roof the moment you move near them.

Their situation is evidently hopeless enough that they've opted to punch their own ticket rather than risk becoming one of the infected, though fast-thinking players can rescue them if they wish.

Despite cementing the full emotional toll of the Blacklight virus, these suicidal NPCs are easily missed even by those who've beaten the entire game.
