8 Video Game Moments Designed To Troll You

When creating the superbly tense experience known as Until Dawn, Supermassive Games must have taken a big old stretch, taken a deep breath, and then bust out the "Big Book Of Trolling" as seriously this is a game designed to mess with your expectations in a way that will leave you feeling utterly silly that you didn't see it coming.

Across your time with the game, you'll be presented with choices that seem simple at first but that usually lead to events that are either the inverse of what you expected to happen or that lead you towards an even more dangerous outcome like precious breadcrumbs towards a gaping hole of horror.

Yet the devs knew that gamers and horror fans pride themselves on spotting a trope a mile away and so used the "I'm not falling for that" mentality against them, which is best exemplified in the "investigate the voice" choice.

Here, Ashley finds herself as the last person to enter cliched spooky scenario IV and suddenly hears what she assumes is her friend Jessica calling out for help. Now savvy horror fans might immediately see this as such an obvious bait that it can't possibly be bait. After all the game wants you to be scared right? So if we show bravery at this moment the title will reward our actions! Right?

Well, that's a hefty dose of wrong my friend as you'll be chewed on by a Wendigo like a dog toy should you keep pushing forward, something made all the worse when you realize that you likely read a note about Wendigos being able to mimic human voices.

Now, who looks silly?
