10 Video Game Easter Eggs Nobody Understands
3. "They Took My Baby" - Doom 3
Doom 3 is a terrifying enough game as it is without the need for pant-filling Easter eggs, but the sci-fi horror FPS nevertheless features an unforgettable secret for those who dare explore the Alpha Labs beyond the mere critical path.
In the labs' fourth sector, you might hear the faint, breathy voice of a woman whispering, "Come here," and if you turn around, you'll see an invisible force making bloody footprints on the floor behind you before passing through a door.
If you continue to follow the voice and footprints you'll eventually get frozen in place as the screen briefly turns red, the voice says, "They took my baby," and a baby can be heard screaming and then laughing.
It's absolute nightmare fuel, especially without any additional context in the game to explain the phenomenon. In its spine-tingling ambiguity, this brief moment is somehow scarier than all the Hell-sent creatures you're forced to battle throughout the campaign.
