8 Genius Ways Video Games Don't Let You Escape
2. Blood Red Sea - Sea Of Thieves
There are many terrifying monsters developers have put in games to kill you the moment you reach the world border, but Sea Of Thieves has a more subtle way of doing that.
If you try to explore beyond what the developers created, you’ll see that the earth and sea will slowly turn blood red. You have more than enough time to turn back if you so wish; however, if for some reason you continue to move forward, your ship will sink, and you along with it, and it won’t take long after that for you to drown.
When going through this experience, at all times, you’ll be expecting a monster or some creature to appear and deal the finishing blow—letting your imagination run wild as you try and figure out what to do. Only for nothing to happen, and you die in an anticlimactic manner.
However, this subtle aspect makes the Blood Red Sea more terrifying than it would be otherwise. Keeping you inside the game while also ensuring you’ll never want to explore outside again.
