10 Important Video Game Plot Twists Barely Anyone Saw
9. Julie's Tragic Fate (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33)
The incredible Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is not shy about throwing plot twists your way. Hell, the endings of Act One and Two both flip the game on its head like it's going out of style. That said, it also boasts some hidden revelations via the Expedition Journals.
These notes left "for those who come after" mostly contain little world-building treats, delving into previous expeditions like the buff, naked insanity of Expedition 60. However, search for the journals of both Julie and Verso, and you'll be gobsmacked by what they reveal.
Verso, a major party member and central character, talks throughout the game about a deceased romantic companion of his named Julie. The main story doesn't delve into her heavily, but these hidden journals do, and they show that Verso himself was the one who killed her. What?
Yes, it's revealed in their coherent journals that Julie grew distrustful of Verso after he survived a fatal wound, leading her and the rest of her Search and Rescue party to capture him. In response, Verso broke free and took all of their lives. It's a heartbreaking reveal and a huge piece of development in the tragic life of Verso, but it's one that many players would have waltzed right past.
