Games with "shock value" within the story (careful with spoilers please)

[WesternYokai]

Pretty much the title.

I just finished the first Full Metal Alchemist anime and some scenes and arcs shocked me both visually and by the plot twists.

Now I'm in the mood to play some games that makes me to light up a cigarette (I don't smoke) and say "man...", preferably in retro platforms, like until PSX, but PS2 and PS3 works too. I just don't want any really modern game.

And if it was possible, the less spoiler-ish, the better.

Omori

I'd personally say Tales of Berseria (you can get it on Steam or PS3), because there were moments of the game where I did need to take a break for a few days because of the story and stare outside the window like

 

[HITMAN_99]

Manhunt 1 and 2.

[TheWanderer]

Danganronpa V3 for me

First time replying to someone on here, so im sorry if its rough lol

Linda cubed is supposedly like what your saying- I dunno personally because I haven't finished it but it seems pretty good!

Silent hill 1 is often considered not as good as 2 but personally I think it stands next to it pretty damn well.

Metal gear solid 1-3, especially 2. Sons of liberty fucked me up man.

I know these are kinda basic responses but yeah man, if you haven't played these before I highly recommend em. I'd recommend more but this is all I can think of that fits your question, plus my brains kinda fried so ye, have fun and get to pondering bro

Postal 1998. It is just mindless violence in terms of gameplay, but the little bits of story it sprinkles really add up to the experience. As for it being fun... eh. It can get difficult, and it WILL kick your ass. It really depends on if you like difficult games (I do).

I prefer the old (now-free) version of the game than the redux version. I don't want to spoil much, but it changes a part of the original experience that I feel is more impactful than redux's take. It also takes itself more seriously than the redux version.

Perfect example

Undertale's blind neutral run and genocide run, and nomnomnami's games bad endings.

It's the tone shift coming from the player's own actions that shocks me.
