10 Horror Video Game Moments That Will Scar You For Life

8. Cannibal Hospitality - The Walking Dead Season 1

Fatal Frame
Telltale

Seemingly pretty innocuous in comparison to other entries on this list, The Walking Dead Season 1's scarring moment is probably much worse for poor little Clementine than it is player character Lee, as she's the one about to snack on down on a hearty portion of Long Pig. That's human meat for all you culinary novices out there.

But it's this unassuming nature that allows for this moment to be pervasively creepy in a unique way. The game gives players a much needed reprieve from the doom and gloom of the post-apocalyptic world outdoors with a comfortable home full of food and friends. That is... until you learn that food and friends are one and the same thing.

Discovering a member of your group tied up in secret room with his legs hacked off, it's only a matter of time before you can reach your surrogate daughter downstairs and stop her from eating the human meat. Missing this option and letting her consume flesh is a decision that haunts you, both in the game as Lee's failings, and in the real world as your own.
