The Saddest Plot Twists in Video Games

August 16, 2020 by Red Stewart

Red Stewart presents the saddest plot twists in video games…

What can we say? Sometimes video game storytelling is so powerful, it touches us for the worse. We get so invested in a character or events, that when an unfavorable outcome occurs, we can’t help but feel morose.

With so many games being narrative driven, the medium has provided us with a lot of venues for such tragic narratives. The reality is gaming has moved forward so much, it’s easy to go along for the journey. And when that journey involves a tragic twist, we end up paying the price.

As such, Flickering Myth presents five sad plot twists in video games that will no doubt leave you melancholic all week. Watch the video here…
