10 Video Game Secrets That Tell HORRIFYING Stories
4. The Story Of Ish - The Last Of Us
The Last Of Us is a game almost doggedly determined to make you as sad as possible. Every inch of this damn game is depressing front to back. So it stands to reason that any secrets you uncover would only make things more depressing.
Enter the story of Ish.
Looking around the suburbs chapter of the story will slowly unravel the story of a man named Ish. Ish was a fisherman who was out at sea when the proverbial feces hit the high powered A/C unit, leaving him unaffected, but also VERY homeless, forced to build a home for himself in the sewers.
Over time he built up a community with other survivors, becoming a beacon of hope and survival for anyone lucky enough to find their way to him.
But of course, this is The Last Of Us, where nothing good happens to anybody ever, so due to a simple mistake, a horde of infected got into the settlement Ish had in the sewers, resulting in a LOT of people dying and Ish just barely managing to get away with some survivors in tow.
His buddy Kyle, on the other hand, was nowhere near as lucky. Trapped in a room with a group of children, the infected right outside about to knock down the door, Kyle killed himself and all of the kids to spare them the fate of becoming one of them.
