10 Horror Plot Twists That BROKE You
8. The Twins' Reversed Fates - Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly
Fatal Frame's second installment is often called one of horror gaming's best sequels. You won't find any arguments here, as this compelling paranormal thriller is a next-level horror experience, and this unsuspecting final twist is a major example of what gives it such prestige.
The game follows the twin pairing of Mio and Mayu as they explore a doomed village that has fallen to a terrible curse. This came about after the villagers failed to perform a ritual where the younger of a pair of twins was sacrificed.
So, a cursed town, a twin killing ritual, and a pair of twins. Do you see where this is going?
Throughout the game, it's implied that Mio, the younger of the sisters, is heading towards a gruesome end to save the village. However, a revelation near the end flips this on its head, as it's revealed that the town has a unique approach to classifying twins.
In their culture, the first-born twin is actually the younger one, as it's believed the second-born allows the weaker twin to be born first. This twists the scale and points the finger at Mayu as the one destined to perform the ritual.
