The most disturbing, sick, twisted game?

What is the most disturbing, depressing or just plain creepiest game you've ever played?

For me it's got to be I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream. It's an old point & click adventure game where you play as 5 different characters. Humanity has come to an end, destroyed by a super computer by the name of AM (which is by the way voiced by the author of the novel the game is based on) which has somehow become self aware. It has kept these 5 individuals alive for his sick twisted satisfactions and has designed different torture based programs for them different characters to take. And this has been going on for 109 years! AM has made them virtually immortal, feeding them disgusting hard to eat meals every day.

• AM, the supercomputer who brought about the genocide of almost all of humanity.
• Gorrister, who tells the history of AM for Benny's entertainment. Gorrister was once an idealist and pacifist, before AM made him apathetic and listless.
• Benny, who was once a brilliant, handsome, homosexual scientist, and has been mutilated and transformed so that he resembles an ugly simian with gigantic sexual organs. Benny at some point lost his sanity completely and regressed to a child-like temperament. His former sexuality has been lost; he now regularly engages in sex with Ellen.
• Nimdok (a name AM gave him), who persuades the rest of the group to go on a hopeless journey in search of canned food. At times he is known to wander away from the group for unknown reasons, and returns visibly traumatized.
• Ellen, the only woman. She claims to once have been chaste, that it was AM who altered her mind so that she became willing to be the group's shared prostitute. The others, at different times, both protect her and abuse her. According to Ted, she finds pleasure in sex only with Benny, because of his large penis Described by Ted as having very dark skin, she is the only member of the group whose ethnicity or racial identity is explicitly mentioned.
• Ted, the narrator and youngest of the group. He claims to be not at all altered, mentally, by AM, and that the other four hate him out of envy.

This is some seriously twisted stuff! The game isn't even that good, voice acting is extremely average, graphics are dark and murky, animations are really weird and most of all the game is just plain creepy! I kinda like it, but the game is hard and requires lots of trial and error. Although I find nothing particularly wrong with creepy games, really. And the game certainly doesn't have a happy ending.

What's your pick? I find it hard to believe something can top this... but prove me wrong!

Custer's Revenge is pretty disturbing.Killburglar

There are many games i think of when i think of disturbing.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot, Manhunt, Resident Evil 4, Doom, and of course that game with the super computer i remember it.

Silent Hill however.... is the worst. A place where your worst nightmares come to life. All types of monsters and blood and other creepy **** everywhere. Play the game i dare you... with the lights out.

In order:

1. Silent Hill - the scariest game ever made, period. It's like playing an interactive nightmare. The story didn't make much sense, but nightmares don't have to be logical to be horrifying...

2. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - Freakiest game ever released on Xbox. This amazing game contains some of the most disturbing moments I've ever seen in a videogame. Unforgettable.

3. Manhunt - Disgusting, sick, depraved, yet strangely addictive. Very gratuitous violence and a mean tone make this one of the most disturbing games ever made.

4. Condemned 1 & 2 - Not all that scary to me, but these games do creep up on you. Seedy, hellish, dark environments and visceral combat make the Condemned series worthy of inclusion into the list of the most disturbing, sick games.....

Yeah, the Clock Tower series is pretty weird to begin with, anyway.

I'll go with the Manhunt Franchise. And a lot of the Rockstar Games. What disturbed me recently is GTA:LCS. Chopping up the meat guy and getting all those corpses. Like, ugh.

I'd say silent hill origins. it was pretty sick. if ur saying twisted then probably MGS2. silent hills and resident evils were pretty disturbing.

That sounds like a futuristic Saw.

I'll echo the pro-Manhunt choice. The most disturbing part of the game is how interactive it is; you, the player, are dictating how gruesome each murder is, and the most horrendous and unsettling part is, at a certain point throughout the duration of the game, you become so desensitized to the violence that wrapping a plastic bag over someone's head and caving in their skull with a baseball bat until the bag is swimming with blood is just another animation to you.

Well.....Max Payne disturbed me a little bit when you go into the cult areas but that was before I got de-sensitizedToriko42

same here I think Max Payne was my first actual glimpse of disturbing horror

its not a sick or twisted game but some of the characters were ..

I don't know how I got that past my parents at 12 ..

The most disturbing, sick, twisted game?HummaKavula

Now that was pretty amazing. Not so much disturbing, more like messed up.

That's awesome that the OP made this thread to pimp I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, as that's the title that instantly came to mind when I read the subject line but never would have guessed it to be the subject of the first post.

Yes, it gets my vote as well. Very haunting, and I agree it's not even a particularly good adventure game by any means. But it was unique and certainly memorable enough to stick with me for this long, it had to have done something right. At the very least it's perfectly described as disturbing, sick, and twisted.

...And no one even THINKS of Grand Theft Auto.

• Mortal Kombat
• God of War
• Doom
• Dead Space

You should see Resident Evil 4 when you hear the sound impacts. Even Gears of War has more realistic and distubing violence then Manhunt 2Toriko42

Silent Hill 1-3. The series has a pretty crappy reputation now thanks to how bad all the games after these were, but they still remain some of the more screwed up titles up there.

Although Custard's Revenge is the most disturbing one. Silent Hill, Resident Evil, everything else. Whatever, they're meant to be disturbing. Custard's Revenge is just... why does that even exist? That's what's disturbing about it.
