10 Video Games Way Darker Than Originally Advertised

Now this is an obvious one, especially because you could be forgiven for playing your whole way through Undertale without knowing that there’s a different, very unsavoury route you could’ve taken.

If you choose to do minimal to no killing of monsters, you can get the neutral or pacifist ending. Good for you, you lovely person! However, if you battle your way through the game slaughtering every monster you encounter- even seeking out more to slay for no reason other than your own sick curiosity - you have gone down the Genocide path.

You have to kill a certain amount of monsters in every location to achieve this and it is definitely a grind, but if you want a dark ending then this will deliver. Every character you meet you eventually slay, until you finally encounter Chara, the first human to fall to the monsters' world.

They talk of destroying this pointless world and moving onto the next, offering you the choice of whether to erase this one or not. Regardless of which one you choose, Chara has the ultimate control and your game is permanently marked.

Not only is it dark because it gives you the ability to commit a massacre, but because it doesn't let you forget it and move on either.
