10 Video Game Fourth Wall Breaks That Came Out Of NOWHERE
2. Hear Your Name Upon Death - Black And White 2
The Black & White series allows you to play as a god. You're in charge of almost anything that happens on the map, from terrain changes to deciding who gets to fall in love with whom.
With so much power, it's easy to feel untouchable…
Until the game reminds you of your mortality.
In Black and White 2, when someone dies in your settlements, a narrator will inform you of this fact via a creepy, whispery message simply saying "death."
The voice announcing your settlers' demise is already eerie as is, but for some reason the developers decided to make it even worse.
There is a secret script in Black & White 2 that will occasionally cause the announcer to not whisper the word "death," but rather your actual real-life name!
Well, it's actually the name of your PC that it pulls from your system info, and it only works when the name is present in its database. Still, since the game never makes use of any external information, if you suddenly hear your own name in-game, as someone in your village is dying no less, the moment can easily shake you to your core.
You're not such an untouchable god, after all, huh?
