8 Hilarious Moments In Truly Disturbing Video Games

There's nothing better than when horror films or video games manage to tap into our real lives and turn everyday situations and objects into focal points of fear.

In recent years the rise and indeed overreliance on technology has spawned a wealth of great horror projects, each turning device that we use every single day against us in sinister ways, and you don't get much more sinister than Simulacra an indie horror title which was released in 2017 and carries with it a truly disturbing premise.

In this scenario, you play a person who has just found a phone belonging to a woman called Anna, after witnessing a disturbing video message you delve deeper into her phone to find out exactly what happened to her. As you can imagine things get pretty dark pretty quickly, and soon you're seeing things you really wish you hadn't in your quest to find the truth.

Yet in amidst all of this psychological and technological horror, there is a single moment of levity that feels so out of place you're sure to be left in stitches. Here if you call any of the emergency services, you'll be treated to an automated voice informing you that if you're being, I don't know murdered or kidnapped to just "hold the line and an operator will be right with you"

This is too painfully close to reality to be funny, but at the same time, that tragedy makes for the darkest of comic moments.
