10 Video Games That Didn't End The Way Any Of Us Wanted

5. Outlast

If you haven’t played it or don’t consider yourself to be a horror game fan you may have missed or underestimated the hype of Outlast.

What appears to be a jumpscare-riddled romp played for shock value is actually a really narratively interesting first-person adventure through a setting that will stick with you whether you want it to or not. Another thing that will stick with you whether you want it to or not is the ending which is… yeah. Running it back, you play as Miles Upshur, an investigative journo exploring the hellscape that is Mount Massive Asylum.

You spend the game fighting for your life, quite literally, while facing off against a monstrous baddie called Chris Walker, a “priest” called Father Martin, and pretty much everybody else.

Miles gets knocked out like 7 different times, manages to best the worst of the worst in the asylum and ultimately comes face to face with the Walrider, a biological nanite creation/abomination controlled by another test subject. Upon meeting its creator, Miles takes out said test subject and is possessed by Walrider, and gets shot by the military. The end, you lose. Ouch.
