10 Most Brutal Punishments In Horror Video Games
2. Ashley Loses Her Head For Investigating The Voice - Until Dawn
It's said that curiosity killed the cat, and that's also true of Until Dawn's Ashley, who receives one of the most grotesquely violent deaths in video game history if players can't resist the urge to indulge a classic horror trope.
After Ashley is separated from her pals in Chapter 9, players will be given the option of either investigating a screaming voice or rejoining the group.
If you investigate the voice, you'll come across a trap door from which banging can be heard, and those who decide to open the trap door will be met by a Wendigo, which promptly rips Ashley's head clean off.
Now, we're not saying that opening the trap door was a particularly smart move, but did the punishment really fit the "crime" here?
It's certainly possible the voice was one of your friends in trouble, but alas, altruistic naivete ultimately just resulted in one of the game's gnarliest deaths.
