8 Video Game Ending Fates Worse Than Death

Surely it can’t just be me for whom this was the very first thing I thought of when considering this title. In recent years Inside has been talked about a hell of a lot thanks to its interesting visual style and poignant messaging, but also because the ending is far from predictable.
