Now, there are an abundance of easter eggs in videos games, from the Sea Bunny in Saints
Row 2 to the game within a game in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
As players we try our best to hunt down these easter eggs, but in doing so, we sometimes
stumble across something a little darker and more sinister.
Hey guys, welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m your host Lucy McPhee, make sure to give this
video a big thumbs up and hit that subscribe bell if you want to be notified every time
we post a new vid.
So, this right here is our list of the Top 10 Creepy Video Game Easter Eggs.
10 Mario Ghosts We can’t seem to have a creepy video games
list without Mario making an unwelcome appearance and ruining our childhood.
But here he is.
In Super Mario Galaxy 2 there’s a shift in the game post-Shiverburn, and the world
your in becomes completely unrecognizable and sinister.
Once you wrap your head around your surroundings, you’ll notice on the cliffs above that you
have an audience, which have become widely known as Hell Valley Sky Tree.
They’re bizarre looking creatures that appear nowhere else in the game, but regardless they
continue to watch you from afar.
What does this mean?
Are they spying developers?
Ghosts?
Aliens?
We’ll never know.
9 Hitman Ghost Ok, so in Hitman: Contracts, if you visit
the Therman Bath Hotel you can explore a closed wing in the northeast portion of the hotel.
You can see police cleaning a crime scene, that seems to be some sort of brutal murder.
If you enter the bathroom you’ll find a bathtub full of blood and one mirror on the
wall.
If you look in the mirror, a ghost will appear behind you floating above the bloody tub.
No thank you!
You can also find this ghost during other points in the game, but the Bath Hotel is
arguably the most dramatic.
8 Batman Arkham Knight Intro So, as most of us know, Batman Arkham City
concluded with the death of the Joker.
So sad.
However, in the sequel game, Batman Arkham Knight, the game boots up with an image of
the dead joker awaiting cremation.
Dark.
Frank Sinatra’s rendition of “Under My Skin” is also playing, and in a creepier
turn of events players can not proceed until they hit a button which ignites the incinerator.
7 Kanye West RPG Now, this is our only fan game on the list,
but that doesn’t make it less creepy.
Kanye Quest 3030 is game where you get to play as Yeezy himself.
On your way to take out the trash you get sucked into a portal to the future.
It’s an odd game but what makes it odder is the bizarre secret area you can unlock
if you type in a specific phrase when talking to an NPC.
If you type the phrase “ASCEND” you’re transported to an archrival room, but in a
more bizarre turn of events, you also transform into a butterfly.
Once you’ve equipped your wings text appears that reads “Congratulations!
You have proven yourself to be an open-minded and curious thinker.
We must apologise for deceiving you, but we can reveal that the game you were playing
until this point was a ‘front’ constructed to protect what you are currently accessing.”
Are we sure Kanye to make this game?!
6 Animal Crossing Animal Crossing is a slice of life simulator,
harmless entertainment which allows you to customize your character, your house, and
even your town.
Fun, right?!
Well if you go to your TV at 3:33am, things become significantly less fun.
You can see a set of eyes on the TV Screen staring directly at you.
The message plays for a short while before stopping.
It’s a mystery that no player has yet to be able to solve, but regardless it seems
to be a clear message to the insomniacs playing Animal Crossing at 3am.
Seriously go to bed!
5 Paper Mario Murder Scene Now, this is an easter egg that appears only
in the Japanese version of this whimsikle game, I guess the west thought it best to
remove the disturbing content as to not traumatize us beyond repair.
Set in a papercraft world you play as Mario who, as always, is on a journey to rescue
Princess Peach from Bowser.
Along the way you’re forced to solve a number of puzzles and defeat enemies.
Simple, right?
Well, when you’re on your journey you can explore a storage house that seems to have
been utterly destroyed by an unknown force, and if you look closely on the ground you
can see the outline of a body drawn in chalk.
The shape bares a striking resemblance to Toad, does that mean he was murdered?
Stabbed perhaps?
I guess we’ll never know.
My only complaint is Mario is contaminating a crime scene in progress and he needs to
get his trotters out of there STAT.
4 Evil Teddy Bears Evil, demonic, or cute and fluffy but just
plain creepy, Teddy Bears have become an unsettling troupe in video games in recent history.
Most prevalent in the Call of Duty franchise, if you look hard enough you can often discover
a Teddy Bear that looks as though it’s been through the ringer.
Even creepier though, the bears are known to move on their own accord in the COD games,
often hiding in plain sight, waiting to pounce.
You can also find a few bear friends in Fallout 3, but not in quite the same scenario thankfully.
This time you sympathize with a couple of defenceless bears that have been tied to a
train track with a sign that reads “Help Us”.
3 Silent Hill 2 Revelation We can’t have a creepy easter eggs list
without including arguably the scariest game of all time, Silent Hill 2.
The plot revolves around James, a guy who ends up in Silent Hill after following instructions
from his dead wife.
Along the way you encountered some of the scariest mutated creatures imaginable, but
what’s more shocking is the subtle twist located within the game that only few pick
up on.
The bodies you find lying around Silent Hill bare a striking resemblance to James.
Often the face are distorted are beaten beyond recognition, but the clothes are the big giveaway
here.
What does this mean?
Is James trapped in an endless loop, constantly trying to fight his way out of the spooky
town?

2 GTA V Ghost There are bucket loads of myths surrounding
the GTA franchise, from a stalking Sasquatch, to the Los Santos Sea Beast, there are a ton
of easter eggs to keep you occupied.
However in the latest installment of the franchise some players successfully followed a series
of clues similar to a Zodiac style hunt.
During your solo investigation you read about a couple Jolene Cranley-Evans and her stuntman
husband named John “Jock” Cranley.
Jock wanted to be a stuntman but felt his wife was holding him back.
There’s a newspaper clipping you can find the details the tragedy that occurs.
As it goes, the pair went for a walk along the cliffside, but only one of them returned.
Jock.
He was cleared for the murder, but does that mean he was innocent?
According to Jolene’s ghost that haunts Mt. Gordo, perhaps not.
At certain points in the night you can find a rock splattered in blood that reads JOCK.
Yeah, I’d say he did it.
1 Headcrab Zombies from Half-Life 2 Now, all of you that played Half-Life 2 aren’t
unfamiliar to the Headcrab Zombies, but instead of listening to their gibberish, most of us
immediately downed them with a bullet to the head, right?
Well, those that did stop to listen discovered something very dark and unnerving.
Turns out, beneath their gibbisher groans and nonsensical talk, there are cries for
help.
No?
Why?!
So Sad!
What does that mean exactly?
Well, underneath the headcrab there is a person still alive and begging for release.
Ok, I gotta go and find a corner to cry in.
Well there we have it, were those easter eggs creepy enough for you?
Do you have any that we missed?
Leave us a comment down below and maybe we can do a part 2.
