10 Video Game Bad Endings BETTER Better Than Good Ones

The hack-and-slash bullet hell Furi is a game where you play as a mysterious prisoner trying to escape his elaborate confinement. You spend the whole game fighting and killing your jailers, only to, spoiler alert, discover that your character was an alien invader all along and that you were sent to the jailers' planet to determine if it was worthy of destroying.

In the "good" ending of the game, your character betrays the aliens and destroys their mothership in order to save the planet. But let's be real: dooming your own species while also having to kill nine innocent people beforehand hardly sounds like a victory.

Luckily, the game's "bad" ending offers a much more satisfying solution.

The ending is a secret game-over screen that you can activate before fighting the Song, the sixth jailer, who promises to be your friend if you abandon your fight.

If you wait in front of the battle arena long enough, the game will actually let you comply with the Song's plea. This will prompt a cutscene in which your character sits down with the Song and the jailer tells him she'll take care of him forever.

Now you have a friend, you didn't have to kill all nine jailers, and you're not a traitor to your own species. It feels nice to lose, doesn't it?
