10 Video Games That Punish You For Exploring

1. Life Is Strange: Before The Storm

And our list concludes with a slightly sillier but no less punishing example from Life is Strange prequel Before the Storm.

In the game's very first episode, players are able to explore the bedroom of Chloe's mother Joyce, and upon opening one of her bedside drawers will be greeted with a decent collection of condom wrappers - some unopened, others torn open with a clear lustful enthusiasm.

Given that neither Chloe nor the player particularly wants to picture Joyce getting down to business with Chloe's stepfather David, the mere glimpse of the condoms is sure to send a nauseated shiver down everyone's spines.

On one hand this is what you get for snooping around your mother's bedroom - parents are people too, after all - but on the other, developers Deck Nine clearly knew they'd leave players gagging with this discovery.

Lesson learned, now pass the brain bleach.
