10 Secret Video Game Stories You NEED To Find

In games, journal entries and audio logs are a convenient way for developers to flesh-out their worlds with more information and detail for thorough players to find.

While this storytelling device is generally used for nudging players in the right direction or offering some handy clues, some games go one step beyond and include entire narratives in these collectables. One such example lies within the criminally underrated Halo 3 ODST with the incredible Sadie's Story.

Told over a series of 30 parts found on data terminals, this narrative - complete with its own stylish slideshow presentation - follows the plight of the eponymous 19-year-old during the Covenant's initial invasion as she searches for her father amid the chaos.

Containing some truly phenomenal vocal performances, Sadie's Story hits many emotional and often harrowing beats as each entry expands upon the youngster's journey.

You can listen to her tale yourself within the New Mombasa section of the game. But, in a clever twist, the final audio log can only be acquired after finding the first 29 during the mission "Data Hive".

If you need another reason to play through this game, it should be to seek out this story if you haven't already.
