10 Video Game Moments NOBODY Saw Coming
5. You're The Monster (Sort Of) - Broken Age
Broken Age, Tim Schafer's insanely crowd-funded interactive story finally released in 2014, was a cute little split narrative between two characters.
The independent, against-the-grain Vella and the oblivious, happy-go-lucky Shay, characters that seemingly have no connection in their respective worlds. Vella is to be sacrificed as part of a ritual to the monster Mog Chothra, whilst Shay whiles away the days alone on a spaceship, occasionally rescuing helpless creatures and partaking in the same training missions over and over again.
But this is a Double Fine game, there's bound to be some shenanigans.
The unexpected comes when we discover that Shay's ship is Mog Chothra, with Shay being fooled into kidnapping girls like Vella from their villages. It was such a drop at the end of Act One that left many a head to be scratched, having to wait a whole year for the second act.
Events got weirder in the second act, but I won't spoil them. But as far as cliffhangers go, with a helping of Schafer-ism in the mix, it wasn't one many saw coming.
