10 Video Games That Mock You For Paying Attention
6. The Secret Ending Makes Fun Of Gamers - The Witness
Though nobody could blame you for reaching the standard ending of The Witness and immediately moving on to a less-taxing game, those craving a more "fulfilling" climax could forge ahead to discover the secret ending.
Players who continue to explore the world may eventually stumble across a concealed area of the map, and after making your way through a winding passage, you'll be greeted with another of the game's endings.
Despite how attentive you'll need to be to unlock this ending without using a guide, the game ultimately delivers an hilariously surreal slap in the face.
The ending amounts to a surreal 8-minute, first-person, live-action video where the player appears to unplug from a VR headset yet continues to interact with the real world in awkwardly game-y fashion.
As both an amusing commentary on the clunkiness of video games compared to real life and a sly critique of obsessive gamers seeking out "better" endings, this one stung just a teensy bit.
