8 Video Games That Won't Let You Quit!

6. Don't Pause! - SCP Containment Breach

With a game as consistently terrifying as SCP Containment Breach, you might be tempted to reach for the quit button, just to save yourself from the horrors that you're having to face, however, unlike most other titles in the genre, SCP isn't exactly a game that lets you take the easy way out.

To better explain, let's run through the real-life scenario I faced when taking on this horror darling. So I'd been playing the title for about an hour at this point, and as you might expect, my hands were pretty sweaty and my heart had been set to "permanently tub-thumping", so I thought to myself, "ok let's take a wee breather, grab a drink and steady my nerve"

So as I tried to pause the game in order to make myself an Elegant Tramp which is 3/4's of a pint of White Lightning, 2 Shots of Apple Sours, 1 shot of Cherry Brandy, and topped with Blackcurrant squash, I suddenly realized that the game unpaused itself.

Figuring there must have been a mistake, I tried again and wouldn't you know it, the title once more unpaused, this time with a little note reading "stop hiding". Needless to say, I slept at a friend's house that night crying into the wee hours of the morning.
