8 Times The Video Game Killer Was Hiding In Plain Sight

2. Detective Adachi - Persona 4

The jury's out on whether Persona 4 beats Persona 5 in 2021, but my money's on this 2008 gem.

A supernatural serial killer tale where various citizens of Inaba aren't just going missing, but appearing dead after going through a demonic world reachable through the television, the hunt is immediately on to understand what the hell is happening, and who's behind everything.

You'll recruit one of the best RPG parties of all time, create guardian Persona forces themselves, and go up against the darkest thoughts of every character manifested as a boss battle, but in the end... it was the nervous detective Adachi who was responsible from the beginning.

Killing people and turning them into "Shadows" because he believes giving into weakness is secretly "what all people who are scared to death really want", the party obviously take him to task, leading to one of the hardest fights in the whole game.
