10 Video Game NPCs Nobody Wanted To Kill (But You HAD To)
2. Queen Cutie (It Takes Two )
It Takes Two may look adorable but when this two-player game wants to go dark, it doesn't hesitate.
Queen Cutie is an adorable talking elephant, the ruler of the Magic Castle, and the favourite toy of May and Cody's daughter, Rose. It's easy to see why, as she's cute as a button, sweet, loving, and wants to be friends with everyone.
Then the game makes you brutally murder her. How fun.
May and Cody, who have been turned into dolls by a magic spell, get it into their heads that they can break the spell by making Rose cry, so they decide that killing off Cutie will do the trick.
As the player, you and your partner have to chase Cutie down, drag her across the table and throw her to her death, even ripping off her leg and ear in the process. You can't even watch it happen via cutscene as you're forced to partake, pushing buttons while she begs and cries for mercy.
This death is so horrendous that Cody even says, "I'll need therapy after this." Yes, you and the player both.
