1. Silicon Knights Systematically Picks Apart Your Sanity - Eternal Darkness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSXcajQnasc At the end of the day, no matter how pants-soiling whatever's transpiring on the screen may be, it's always a safe bet that we can rationalise our fears with the age-old mantra of "it's only a game". After all, it's nothing more than a collection of polygons, isn't it? Parasitic aliens, perpetually-starved zombies and rabid animals can't reach us beyond the confines of our screens and mess with our heads in the real world if we don't let them. Well, at least... that's the theory. Leave it to the brains behind the masterful Eternal Darkness to rob us of our delusions and reduce us to a whimpering pile of tears. Treating the fourth wall as nothing more than a minor inconvenience, Silicon Knights pulled out all the stops to make Eternal Darkness the most traumatising experience you'll ever have with a game. By utilising various "sanity effects", Silicon Knights manipulates you into believing you're going bonkers; ranging from tinkering with volume settings and randomly dismembering characters, to unexpectedly displaying "blue screen of death" errors, and, the coup de grace - fooling you into believing your save data has been erased right in front of your very eyes. It's sick, it's twisted - and it's something you'll damn sure never forget. Well there you have it, do you agree with what's listed, or are there any you'd like to add? We've all got a story or two, so share yours below!
