10 Obscenely Evil Video Game Villain Plans
3. Therapy To Prostitution Pipeline - Alice: Madness Returns
The tragically EA'd American McGee's Alice series features one of the most heinous twist villains in gaming history in Alice's demented therapist, Doctor Angus Bumby.
Dr. Bumby was the one who murdered Alice's family, sneaking into Alice's home that horrible night, sexually assaulting Alice's older sister Elizabeth, and setting the house ablaze to cover it up. After Alice is let out of the asylum at the end of the first game, he becomes her therapist to help her "forget" her past, a tactic he practices on all of his patients. All of whom are children, often younger than Alice herself.
Yeah, the real twist here is that Bumby is a child sex trafficker, and his "therapy" is just a gussied-up method of grooming and emotional manipulation. Alice's willful ignorance of the MANY red flags with her doctor is what caused the great train that tears apart Wonderland throughout the game, the train only being defeated when she comes to terms with her role in this awful crime.
In the already dark and grimy world of the Alice games, Bumby stands out as a particularly nasty corner.
