I miss the days of being a kid and not knowing that these were purposely made, and the sense of wonder, fear and astonishment it gave you when you found or came across them online wondering what they meant and if they had any deeper significance than just a gag or reference. The little creepy pastas and explanation people would try to come up with for these things was always fun and left so much to our imagination. good times.
Well, you might not want to hear this, but there are weirder things behind this. See, going back to the earliest days of personal computers there was a lot of unusual activity attributed to them. A lot of the current easter eggs, ideas, etc... came from stories that were circulating back to the days of the Commodore and Apple, and of course before them companies like Atari with it's first cartridge based machines. Of course to be entirely fair this happened to coincide with the so called "Satanic Panic" and it's possible a lot of the weirder things that were out there were done to mess with those people, based on their ideas. That doesn't change the fact however that a lot of effort was put into some very weird things over the years, and the only people that could have done it outright denied it. It doesn't help that certain occultists with a belief that numbers could have power actually did try and do things like work magick through computers. You even had people putting out early programs like those intended for turing test competitions that were supposed to be able to commune with the dead (computer oracles and Ouija boards) and things like that. Movies like one called "Evilspeak" (I think that was the name) drew heavily from this idea, as did later movies like "Brainscan". Anime series like "Seriel Experiments Lain" ran with this idea, and such real world groups were the inspiration for the so called "Knights Of The Eastern Calculus" who were behind the conspiracy in that series. Now personally, I've run into some creepy stuff, but nothing that would be beyond belief, or even on the level of your average creepy pasta. That said, understand there were stories about BBS systems like the legendary "Black Door" (later used for other things) that were supposed to contain horrible secrets, and would likely either drive you insane or cause you to disappear. Interestingly there was one martial arts school out of Hong Kong whose name translated to "The Rarely Found Doorway" or something like this, and they were really popular for a while even selling logo merchandise and stuff as they were promoting themselves as a fitness and dietary program that was actually effective in fighting, and apparently had their people winning all kinds of tournies. The story is that like 25,000 people scattered around Hong Kong, Korea, and China were considered advanced students, practitioners, and disciples of the style, which was hardly seen as a mystical cult thing, all disappeared. Most of the upper echelon went to a party in Hong Kong that was some business thing based on possibilities for western franchising, and almost everyone else was told to check in on BBS systems run by their local schools which were connected by echoes (which is how i heard about it). Apparently all of these people disappeared, and a lot of people were connecting the name of the school to the "Black Door" urban legends over here. The weirdest part is that the British (who ran Hong Kong at the time) refused to let the papers cover it for "national security reasons" and had an odd amount of cooperation from China, and this whole group disappeared over night. This is long, but just pointing out a lot of adults got seriously creeped out by a lot of this stuff too, and there are a good number of mysteries when it comes to things related to computer, games, and telecommunications/internet technology that are simply so old now most people have forgotten, and they will likely never be solved.
1:32:49 quick context on the Ruth Price call: it was a 911 call because an intruder broke into her home but she, i think around 70 at the time, fought them off until they ran away. she died peacefully 14 years after that.
i remember hearing about it before anyone actually found the backstory of it. when i found out she managed to fight them off and died peacefully i was incredibly happy. she was badass for sure.
Wasnt it confirmed that this call was faked and used to teach trainee operatives what NOT to do when receiving a “there is someone in my house” call? (Like asking too much irrelevant questions or interrupting the caller)
Also, the creators of Nun Massacre explained that the screams were inspired by the Ruth Price phone call, but they were performed by a separate actress.
I remember seeing Skyrim's headless horseman. Except his horse didnt spawn and he was just chilling in a snowy forest. Tried talking to him but if you would believe me, the headless horseman isnt a talker.
Something that happened to me during my 100% playthrough made this shit soooo much spookier. Since I wasnt following a guide, I relied on turning all sound off except for sound effects to find all the emotional baggage. When I got to Milla's Dance Party, all I could hear through out the entire level was the screams. As far as I could tell it was a bug since I couldnt replicate it. Maybe it isnt though, since I did my 100%ing right before saving her. Not sure. Anyway glad to see another psychonauts enjoyer
@PolInKenexel yeah I feel like without context Milla’s secret room is just really off putting lol. Context helps a LOT in lowering its creepiness. I’m glad you’ve discovered Psychonauts though! It and its sequel are wonderful games.
Another creepy easter egg in Stardew Valley can happen if you do the ritual at the Dark Shrine of Selfishness to turn your children into doves. Afterward, you have a chance of getting creepy phone calls saying things like "You have forsaken us". Also, if you watch TV on Fall 26 after doing the ritual, a haunted doll will jump out of the TV and will proceed to attack you every time you approach the shrine for the rest of the game.
A person did a challenge to get all the skills maxed in 1 days and used this feature to get max combat by having a crap ton of kids and made them disappear. Then used the galaxy hammer or maybe the upgraded one. Super cool.
Its always funny to me how almost all of these easter eggs were actually implemented for comedy by the devs but 10 years of youtubers making creepy asmr videos about them changed their perception.
Fun fact for anyone who wants to get the Man-Bat scare out of the way: Grappling onto the Gotham Globe building will always trigger the jumpscare so you don’t have to worry about being randomly scared.
Hey, just wanted to make a pedantic correction of the WoW Goldshire Children. In reality, nothing about them was intended to be creepy. WoW has always had NPC's that wander to make the world feel more alive. The children wander the road around Goldshire and Storming, going into that house sometimes. The pentagram is just the shape of mobs programmed to keep with one another in a blob as I don't even think WoW NPCs can path in a circle. The "eerie music" that's said to play in the house is the default classic WoW overworld cave music. Most friendly buildings don't have interior music, but that one was set to use the at-the-time default by mistake. The "you will die" is staged by the person who made that video. Its a voice clip from the raid boss C'thun. WoW allows you to create soundboard of any sound in the game data using macros. The person in that video mapped a key to the macro and voila. Very easy trick to pull since they had their UI toggled off. WoW has plenty of real scary stuff scattered all across its many expansions. Its sad that that years old debunked hoax is what gets attention in videos like these
Oh there's loads and loads, some really good ones, I used to be heavily into WoW from day one for a _gooood_ few years, especially all the hidden and fun stuff. 100% the whole thing surrounding them kids is all internet creepypasta-esque crap, I'm with you on that, _but,_ I wouldn't completely rule out somebody behind a monitor being like "I'm gonna have these creepy NPC kids in this area" for no reason, for something to do, so I cant rule out "nothing about them was intended to be creepy".
I was disappointed when the iceberg creator didn't include the Hall of Upside Down Sinners on this, I know it was cut content for a time and atm I don't think it's so hidden anymore but it's a creepy ass room with a creepy ass name for sure
WoW isn't my wheelhouse, but I did play WotLK back in the day, and I remember there being an "easter egg" where C'thun's voicelines would very rarely play while you were in Northrend, or so I was led to believe. It only happened to me once, and I was newer to the game, and had no addons installed, and after doing a spot of research just now, it seems other people have experienced hearing the C'thun lines while visiting the Goldshire Children, but again, I'm not very experienced with the inner-workings of WoW, but there was, also, allegedly an addon, called Deadly Boss Mods (?) that would also play the C'thun lines as their own jokey easter egg, so it's possible the person who made the aforementioned video may have had that addon (it's apparently popular?) and this is them not knowing about the included easter egg. But like I said, I'm not sure what to think, since I never used addons or anything like that when I played WoW.
@@HomekittyL2 It's apparently a giant squid, but it's very Cthluhu-looking, for sure. If you search for "WoW giant squid" you can find a video showing you all about it, since you need to do some special things to get it to "show up". Something about a magic horn?
Personally the Star Fox easter egg is the creepiest to me. The fact that General Pepper seemingly notices that Fox is just...GONE and now trapped in this infinite void full of faces staring at him is terrifying.
Honestly, i would be freaking out too if my coworker and friend went off course from the path and just suddenly disappeared and all forms of communication get cut off
The Slenderman jumpscare on Runner 2 isn't real, that's just a troll added to that one YT video that showcased Slenderman spottings on the level (which are real). So many youtubers have fallen for this one...
i was never really bothered by horror or violence in games/movies, even when i was pretty young, but seeing the gameboy camera run easter egg on youtube for the first time around the age of 11-12 left me legit traumatized for quite a while.
The Futurama Easter Egg was found, actually. It required you to do a few specific actions like breaking the fire extinguisher case but not picking it up and collecting certain amounts of money in different increments
CORRECTION: the MK9 Crypt monster actually can jumpscare you randomly in the Krypt while you're unlocking stuff not in the main menu. The krypt is it's own play area divided into areas and the nekropolis which lays in front of it. Pretty much wherever you are you will have a chance to get jumpscared when in the Krypt, you won't get jumpscared in the main menu or Nekropolis area. Anyway cool video sourcebrew :)
I mean, the phone calls in The Darkness are FAR from the most grim thing in the game. The actual Darkness itself and what it intentionally does to Jackie aside, I STILL remember stumbling blindly in the trenches of Hell, getting ambushed by enemies through the dense fog/smoke.
just an extra note about the cult ending in dream daddy, it wasnt there on release, but dataminers found it, it kinda became an urban legend in the fandom until the devs confirmed it was a thing and released it on halloween.
Ok look I gotta explain the HellValleySkyTrees thing: So the term "Hell Valley" refers to a real place in Japan (Jigokudani) which is a mountainous region with volcanic activity that creates a lot of hotsprings. In the winter it is both snowy and has smoke rising from where the volcanic activity is, and the hotsprings are obviously still hot. The assets for Shiverburn Galaxy were named after this place in Japanese, and when the assets were localized into english it was localized as "hell valley" As for the "tree" part of it, that I'm less sure about but it seems likely that the Kodama theory is correct. They look kinda like Kodama, which are japanese tree spirits, so it's likely that the "tree" part of the file name is another localization, however i'm unsure if the original japanese file names refer to them as Kodama or not.
In a video in his RUclips Channel Masahiro Sakurai revealed that it's common practive in Japanese to name files in english rather than japanese, therefore I think it's likely the SMG2 dev who created those assets simply put the japanese name into google translate and got "hell valley sky tree" and simple went with it
15:34 that's hex maniac, a type of pokemon trainer. What I found on the wikipage: "On the second floor of the Lumiose City's Fighting Dojo building, a Hex Maniac will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away. The meaning of this in-game event, if it has any, is so far unknown." and "In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, on the first floor of Mt. Pyre's inner section, a Hex Maniac says: "... No, you're not the one. ... Ah..." so she's seen as an easter egg in 2 different occasions, saying the same thing, interesting
1:17:09 I think the craziest thing about this jumpscare is that is a REAL picture of a mummy that has been photoshopped. So an actual corpse in a kids game :(
I think 90% of the stuff on the entire list could be considered level 1. I was shocked to see stuff like Ratman dens and Half Life 2 zombie screams at like level 5, like cmon ratman dens are impossible to miss in the game, which also is one of the most famous puzzle games of all time.
The reversed audio of the Half Life 2 zombie is probably the most haunting and unsettling thing I have ever heard in my life. Just to think that we are having fun while killing them.
The GTA: San Andreas mass grave easter egg at 16:51 is actually a reference to Mary-Beth Maybell, the in-game radio host of the country music radio station K-Rose. She had six husbands who all died through mysterious circumstances. The theory is that she killed them for their money, since she has said that she prefers older men with weak health and life insurance accounts. Six dead husbands. Six body bags in the grave.
Some more DDLC ones (HEAVY SPOILERS): 1) If you start a new game after deleting Monika's character file, Sayori has a mental breakdown immediately as she bears the burden of knowledge about being a video game character that Monika once held. 2) If you delete Sayori's character file and start a new game, the game opens to a white background with a black and white Sayori hanging from offscreen. Wait around, and the text "now everyone can be happy" will appear. 3) In an earlier version of the game, if you tried to quit the game at the point of finding Sayori dead, the "do you want to quit?" text would warp and Sayori would be superimposed onto it. Also, Act 3 Monika has a completely separate function where she won't read out your personal name at the start of you are recording, with the list of detected software being longer than the jumpscare one. Also also, the Playstation version of DDLC+ is censored, with Yuri's blood being black and her pupils disappearing on the Friday of Act 2. Only the playstation version, despite the game getting uncensored ports to the XBOX and Switch.
Legend says that Adrian Carmack and some of the other team put John's head in the Icon of Sin cause they needed something to take damage for the boss and thought it was funny. John was noclipping around the map after hours and found it, got with Bobby (the sound guy) and recorded the backwards line to put in the game to spook the other devs and get back at them. Funny stuff.
It made me laugh really hard when you called it a "Gameboy Camera Application." We just powered on the system with the cart in it. lol. This is one of those moments where I feel old, but it's still funny.
I love it when people go looking for Easter Eggs that can’t possibly exist. Like thinking that Slender Man is in GTA San Andreas, a game that came out before the character was created.
Ok so the ghost girl in D&P/BD&SP has a very sad story to her. Basically she encountered Darkrai, fell into an enteral slumber with never ending nightmares and her parents left to get the item or Pokémon (or both can’t remember which) to get her out of it but were too late so they heartbrokenly moved away. No idea why the butler stayed behind.
Meredith Stroud from the beginning of Cyberpunk 2077 can be found as well with concrete shoes close to the area you get Johnny's Porche. Pretty creepy especially if you happen upon it organically(which isn't typical or easy to do).
An 'easter egg' I found that I haven't been able to find online was in CoD: WWII. Not scary as much somber and mysterious. In one of the missions as you travel up the tower you can find a dying soldier, he reaches out to you and talking to you in German. Asking for forgiveness? Comfort? Mercy? I have no idea, I never found a translation and I've never come across the solider alive again, he's always dead in my replays.
It astonishes me that developers take the time to add these. It makes me wonder if everyone knows about it or it’s more of a secret between a select few.
for the marvelous bridge ghost, it's actually fleshed out more in the sequels, Black 2/White 2. There's a new haunted location called the strange house where you learn that the ghost girl (likely the same one since they look the same) fell into an endless sleep and passed away. It's actually how you get Cresselia, one of the legendary pokemon.
I can remember to have never stopped being disappointed that it was resolved with Darkrai. It feels like if they resolve the Gen 6 girl and it ended up being about someone oweing someone 5 bucks, it would be about as usual business in the context of the Pokeworld.
I will point out with D/P’s Old Chateau and BDSP’s Old Chateau is that the ‘Added’ scares in the remakes were also there in the originals. It was subtle but the picture’s eyes still glowed but it was like 1 pixel and disappeared when you got close. The old man in the dining room was also present.
Cement shoes aren't actually a real method of execution, due to the fact cement has to harden first and that takes quite a while. I imagine the myth of cement shoes probably grew from the use of cement objects to weigh bodies down when disposing of them, but execution? Nah. Also Kojima left Konami, he wasn't booted. Possibly he was coerced to leave, but whatever the case is, he formally simply left.
kojima was essentially booted out. Even if he formally left, he was booted out of his brainchild of MGSV and they booted him from Silent Hills. He was booted.
btw, cry of fear wasn't a mod for half life 2, it was a mod for the first half life game which released in 1998, with the mod starting development around 2005-2006, then releasing the final release in 2012 on moddb and eventually steam.
Jesus christ that fucking scooby doo one got me again. I remember being a kid and screaming so loud my mom came in and ripped me a new one. Good times.
Jesus fuck same here, I still think about that shit sometimes, no other screamers ever gotten me like that. My eyes got so fucking wide when I realized that's what was being talked about
I remember when i was about 10, i would binge watch creepy videogame easter eggs. So a whole 1 hour and 30 minute video of just creepy videogame easter eggs is perfect for me
For 51:54 it was revealed that entire Kanye Quest stuff was by a musician from Australia called Clara Hope and she revealed was originally supposed to be its own thing but was tied into Kanye Quest. Grouse House was mini web-series on game called "Finding Yeezus" and in the finale was revealed and talked to her.
Fun fact. while playing the Black Ops. 3 nuke town. If you shoot off all the heads and arms, they turn into weeping angels mannikins where they won't move if you look at them. But they act the same as zombies when you turn away.
Just wanna note, cry of fear is actually a mod for the first half life. Also the Ruth Price 911 call is a fake, being a mockup call for training purposes to ask about the location of the emergency before anything else.
Call was real, someone (I forget who, because all the "creepy content" RUclipsrs start to blur over time) did a deep dive. Tldr, she was hurt but ended up surviving an assault.
@@Aribelalugosi you might be thinking of barely sociable he made a video about it and proved it was a real call but the audio is a re-enactment and ruth did survive the attack
I love how I watch so much IdkSterling that I associate the music you used in the intro with him. Lol Anyways, great video and Merry Christmas, Sourcebrew!
There is another Stardew Valley easter egg, that I personally find more disturbing than the alien one, referred to as the Dove Children. In the game, you can find a Witch's Hut, where inside there are three Dark Shrines which you can use to affect certain statuses in your game. One wipes the memory of any ex-spouses of yours, making it so they've never met you before. While another simply enables monsters to spawn on your farm. The third is the most disturbing, since it turns the children you have with your spouse, into doves, which will make them fly away and thefore permanently remove them from your game. This unlocks several easter eggs to appear in the game, which involves you encountering dolls (either by fishing it up, or it appearing on your TV), you witness said doves flying in formation at a summit, or you getting a creepy phone call where you hear static and the message "You Have Forsaken Us."
@@HadenBlake After the TV message, the doll will appear in the hut near the appropriate shrine, which will attack until killed, but will respawn upon re-entry. When killed, the doll turns into a black bird which flies away, which is also creepy.
the ghost in world 4-4 in SM 3D land, I played that game a lot on my 3DS, over and over, and this easter egg is one of the few easter eggs ive organically encountered, as in not been told about in advance, I just noticed it one day back then and thought it was cool haha, really nice to see it pop up in a video and be able to go "oh hey i remember that one!" when usually all the eggs in these videos are a surprise to me XD
As someone who is trying to become a future game dev. These creepy Easter eggs are some of my favorites things in video games ever since I used to watch creepy Easter egg videos back in the day and still watch creepy Easter egg videos as you can see since I’m making this comment lmao. And if I ever actually make any huge game, I’m 100% gonna hide a bunch of random creepy secrets hidden throughout it.
Man this brought me back to watching those types of videos all the time, love it. Funnily enough, watched it while playing RDR2, so the fact it appeared so much in that video was fitting. And the fact that both of my fav game series (No More Heroes and Yakuza) were in there is a nice surprise :D Noww, Harvest Moon/Story Of Seasons was my first videogame ever and still to this day I love the games a lot. And I'm always very fascinated with all the weirdly out of place dark/mysterious stuff that can happen. Even things as "simple" as the animal death music in some games being the most chilling thing you'll ever hear :'D But there's a specific thing that came to mind because I recently played the Friends Of Mineral Town remake. There is a character in the game, the towns priest Carter, and he will sometimes tell you what he calls a parable. He actually starts it of like that: "Ah. perfect timing. Might you stay long enough to listen to a parable of mine? l'll warn you--it may get a little long." And after the first one I thought okay seems to be like he's just talking about fairytales and then the moral to come out of it. When you build up your friendship with him, he will tell other stories. But then one hit that was a little bit darker, still nothing too "intense" for this game, but still: "Once upon a time, in a land not unlike our own, there was a normal family, the kind one would find anywhere. A father, mother, and their juvenile son all lived together in blissful harmony. One day, the mother succumbed to a virulent illness and suddenly passed away. As the grief-stricken father stood over his late wife, the little boy came up to him, and asked, "What happened to Mom?" The boy curiously peered at his dearly departed mother's unblinking face. The father, unsure what to say, desperately explained that she had fallen into a deep sleep. Upon hearing that, the boy was greatly troubled. He told his father: "Then please, Dad, use all of my allowance and buy a big alarm clock to wake her up." What do you think of that? That was when the father learned that the diluted words adults use to avoid speaking of death... ...hold neither power over nor meaning to children. Think on that. I bid you a blessed day." And honestly, this was unexpectedly deep for a game that's meant for everyone to play, meaning children too... But then, the topic of death sometimes comes up in the game, from animals or characters even dying. NOWWW the last one is one that just left me staring at the screen because it was so unexpected 💀💀 "This is a true story that takes place before I became a priest. Once, I was penniless and lived out my days days in a small apartment. From my apartment window, when the curtains were drawn, I could see into the building right across from mine.The room I could see was just as gloomy as mine. Eventually, I learned that a married couple lived there.The wife would leave for work each day while the husband remained behind. I assumed he was some sort of artist. At least, that's what I thought at first, until I noticed something odd. Whenever I looked into their living space, he was always squatting in the exact same position. From then on. I found myself paying much more attention to that room across the way. The husband remained in the exact same place and posture from when the curtains opened to when they closed at night. But he was not motionless, I could see him talking and moving his head. One day, a small fire broke out in that apartment. My gaze hovered over their open window. And what did I find but the husband squatting in his usual place, a troubled expression etched upon his face. I knew the wife had left for the day, so I scrambled over to help the husband. By the time I arrived, the room was filled with smoke but I could see him turning toward me. Running to his side, I laid my hands upon him, ready to forcibly drag him out--but despite his weedy appearance surely he would be as light as paper, I told myself--his body was stone-heavy. That was when my eyes traveled downward and saw four hands jutting from the floor, holding him in place. "Aaaaaagh!" Phew-Even now, remembering the horror I felt in that moment still gives me goosebumps." And that's it. The conversation just ends, no "What do you think of that" or moral of the story at the end, just that?? I was kinda flabbergasted, it's just so out of nowhere and makes you think Bro you good? 😭
a nice little tidbit about the ddlc monika jumpscare: what usually happens in that moment (when you're not recording) is that monika asks if your in-game name is actually your real name, and brings up the name of your pc. this whole recording easter egg was probably implemented to avoid streamers getting doxxed lmao
About the Farcry 5 clown easter egg. There's a nother one. I randomly stumbled across it while just exploring. I found it before the clown barn. There is a pipe going beneath a road (drainage pipe? i'm not a native eng speaker so dont rightly know what it would be called) some where, dont remember where as i havent played the game for quite a long time now. But in that pipe there is a red baloon. it creeped the F out of me, as i just had watched IT.
Some of my favorites by far are the creepy ghost message in Rollercoaster Tycoon, Mario Galaxy's "Hell Valley Sky Trees", and the billboard in California Speed on the N64
Fun news, OddHeader and The Easter Egg Hunter as well as many community members solved the Futurama mystery earlier this year! It's super interesting and I'd check it out
Your missing something about Maniac Mansion, if you give the exploded Hamster back to its owner, he gets so mad that he straight up kills that character, it cuts away to a gravestone with that kids name, and that kid is perm killed for that game. And that was in an NES game it allows a kid to be killed and see the aftermath.
The Kanye Quest Ascend Easter Egg isn’t about the Cult, I heard that The Dev or someone who was involved with the Game Stated that the Easter Egg Is referring to the Ascend Religion (idk what the Real Name of the Religion is), where People Believe that you dont live once but Forever by ascending when you die and getting reborn or something. Correct me if anything is wrong I saw it in a Video by Oddheader 😅
Dude I wanted Psychonauts to be mentioned so bad hell yeah!! In other news, I don't think I would call it "an otherwise kid friendly game" though, still a scary Easter Egg but not entirely out of place. Just look at the final boss, or the whole final level actually. Edit: Oh god I still have to fast forward that Scooby Doo thing, it'll never not scare me I don't think. There's no recovering...
Yeah, anyone calling Psychonauts a kids game showcases anyone who hasn't actually played the game. It's absolutely an adult oriented game with a "kid-friendly" art style and basic concept.
I had put that "Escape from the Coolsonian" jumpscare completely out of my mind until now, this one got me REAL bad when I was younger and is possibly one of the most intense experiences I've ever had with jumpscares
Idk if this counts as creepy but i used to play undertale a lot. If you go to the waterfall where there's a flower puzzle where you must throw flowers across the water to cross it, if you go back you'll see flowey for a moment before he dives into the ground. If you go to the waterfall and back again he doesnt show up. This happens a couple more times and the implication is clear: Flowey is always following you, and always watching you, throughout the whole game. Not to mention the Ghaster easter eggs.
Surprised to see The Sims there. Every mainline game is there! I'll explain more on the entries here. 4:13 Also in City Living, sims can be invited to attend performances. This one takes the easter egg further, as one message that can pop up after that was that the performance the sim went to see was The Murder of 1313 21 Chic Street and it is described as terrifying and is a true story. When buying it furnished, it has a rug over the outline to cover it. Though in the recent times, the chalk outline will go above the rug. You had one job, rug! Also, to continue, the apartment isn't haunted... by default. You can make it haunted through Lot Challenges though. Other than that, it's just a decoration. 5:44 The burglar music shouldn't play when a prank call happens. I have viewed a lot of videos to confirm the fact when another video stated the same thing. So no, it's just a creepy message without music and sim sounding confused afterwards. Though some of the prank calls has also been brought into The Sims 4 too. 11:40 Yeah... After all, The Sims 2 Apartment Life (the pack it is from) also introduces witches. Though fortunately, witches won't harm young sims there. 29:22 Krakens only swim by houseboats and smaller boats, so sims shouldn't attract them. However, it needs to be mentioned that krakens can actually attack small boats, destroying it (sims on the boat will be fine). It is rare indeed, with the chance increasing when it has swum by, it's raining heavily, or the sim is near a hidden island. Though sims with a specific reward ability can actually summon it to attack boats and will never be attacked themselves. Though I wouldn't call it an easter egg due to it being on trailers (plus meteors are rarer, come with jumpscarish music, and can kill sims), I guess it is somewhat worthy to be on the iceberg.
@@MRdoomPAY The Cutting Room Floor has a website dedicated to most game’s unused stuff. In Mario Kart Arcade GP, an unused image is a picture of the Belgian School Crisis. Which is shocking, regardless.
Redd's "haunted" paintings are the fake ones. In game you're supposed to shine a flashlight on them before buying, to see if you're getting the real one or not. It would make sense for the paintings to be super different in dim lighting, and then similar to the original painting when there's light on them. Because you're supposed to be "scammed" by Redd and his seemingly convincing paintings.
not sure if it was mentioned but in the same Nuketown map with those mannequins if you instead of shooting off their heads shoot off their arms you will get a weeping angel situation where they are chasing you only when you're not looking at them
good video but just a personal pet peeve-- if you're doing 2 entries from the same series/game (especially if you reference that fact in an entry) maybe do those two entries as a joint entry, just doing an entry on that game/series itself? like for example it was just really annoying having to hear the same entry about a squid easter egg in 2 seperate games when you could have made it flow smoother. other than that this was pretty entertaining :) hope you make more

Well, you might not want to hear this, but there are weirder things behind this. See, going back to the earliest days of personal computers there was a lot of unusual activity attributed to them. A lot of the current easter eggs, ideas, etc... came from stories that were circulating back to the days of the Commodore and Apple, and of course before them companies like Atari with it's first cartridge based machines. Of course to be entirely fair this happened to coincide with the so called "Satanic Panic" and it's possible a lot of the weirder things that were out there were done to mess with those people, based on their ideas. That doesn't change the fact however that a lot of effort was put into some very weird things over the years, and the only people that could have done it outright denied it.
It doesn't help that certain occultists with a belief that numbers could have power actually did try and do things like work magick through computers. You even had people putting out early programs like those intended for turing test competitions that were supposed to be able to commune with the dead (computer oracles and Ouija boards) and things like that. Movies like one called "Evilspeak" (I think that was the name) drew heavily from this idea, as did later movies like "Brainscan". Anime series like "Seriel Experiments Lain" ran with this idea, and such real world groups were the inspiration for the so called "Knights Of The Eastern Calculus" who were behind the conspiracy in that series.
Now personally, I've run into some creepy stuff, but nothing that would be beyond belief, or even on the level of your average creepy pasta. That said, understand there were stories about BBS systems like the legendary "Black Door" (later used for other things) that were supposed to contain horrible secrets, and would likely either drive you insane or cause you to disappear. Interestingly there was one martial arts school out of Hong Kong whose name translated to "The Rarely Found Doorway" or something like this, and they were really popular for a while even selling logo merchandise and stuff as they were promoting themselves as a fitness and dietary program that was actually effective in fighting, and apparently had their people winning all kinds of tournies. The story is that like 25,000 people scattered around Hong Kong, Korea, and China were considered advanced students, practitioners, and disciples of the style, which was hardly seen as a mystical cult thing, all disappeared. Most of the upper echelon went to a party in Hong Kong that was some business thing based on possibilities for western franchising, and almost everyone else was told to check in on BBS systems run by their local schools which were connected by echoes (which is how i heard about it). Apparently all of these people disappeared, and a lot of people were connecting the name of the school to the "Black Door" urban legends over here. The weirdest part is that the British (who ran Hong Kong at the time) refused to let the papers cover it for "national security reasons" and had an odd amount of cooperation from China, and this whole group disappeared over night.
This is long, but just pointing out a lot of adults got seriously creeped out by a lot of this stuff too, and there are a good number of mysteries when it comes to things related to computer, games, and telecommunications/internet technology that are simply so old now most people have forgotten, and they will likely never be solved.

1:32:49 quick context on the Ruth Price call: it was a 911 call because an intruder broke into her home but she, i think around 70 at the time, fought them off until they ran away.
she died peacefully 14 years after that.
Thank you I was about to do a search about this.
i remember hearing about it before anyone actually found the backstory of it. when i found out she managed to fight them off and died peacefully i was incredibly happy. she was badass for sure.
Wasnt it confirmed that this call was faked and used to teach trainee operatives what NOT to do when receiving a “there is someone in my house” call? (Like asking too much irrelevant questions or interrupting the caller)
@@dusksunsetio6042no that it was never used for training
Also, the creators of Nun Massacre explained that the screams were inspired by the Ruth Price phone call, but they were performed by a separate actress.
I remember seeing Skyrim's headless horseman. Except his horse didnt spawn and he was just chilling in a snowy forest. Tried talking to him but if you would believe me, the headless horseman isnt a talker.

As someone who has been hyperfixated on Psychonauts for 15+ years, I always forget how genuinely creepy Milla’s room can be. Glad to see it included.
Something that happened to me during my 100% playthrough made this shit soooo much spookier. Since I wasnt following a guide, I relied on turning all sound off except for sound effects to find all the emotional baggage. When I got to Milla's Dance Party, all I could hear through out the entire level was the screams. As far as I could tell it was a bug since I couldnt replicate it. Maybe it isnt though, since I did my 100%ing right before saving her. Not sure. Anyway glad to see another psychonauts enjoyer

I’m glad you’ve discovered Psychonauts though! It and its sequel are wonderful games.
Another creepy easter egg in Stardew Valley can happen if you do the ritual at the Dark Shrine of Selfishness to turn your children into doves. Afterward, you have a chance of getting creepy phone calls saying things like "You have forsaken us". Also, if you watch TV on Fall 26 after doing the ritual, a haunted doll will jump out of the TV and will proceed to attack you every time you approach the shrine for the rest of the game.
WHAT? How have I never heard of this
sigh time to start another file
A person did a challenge to get all the skills maxed in 1 days and used this feature to get max combat by having a crap ton of kids and made them disappear. Then used the galaxy hammer or maybe the upgraded one.
Super cool.
time to sacrifice my children just to experience this
That’s wild never knew this is there anything else like this?
Its always funny to me how almost all of these easter eggs were actually implemented for comedy by the devs but 10 years of youtubers making creepy asmr videos about them changed their perception.
It’s such an interesting trend to me. People just want to be freaked out I guess.
Yeah literally nothing about a game can be genuinely creepy

A creepy video game easter eggs iceberg video on Christmas Eve? Now this is actually a nice Christmas gift.
fr
Aw
Whoever made this iceberg definitely didn't order it by obscurity.
Ikr
It was throwing me off a little. Like fucking mario Easter eggs WITH BLOOD :O then to stuff like actual an horror game's Easter eggs. Goofy
Yeah it's kinda lazy in terms ordering. More of just a list than a real descension into obcurity and rarity.
Yeah, like, the Psychonauts and Pokémon easter eggs are really well known, so I was surprised to see them so low on the iceberg.
Some aren't even easter eggs, and "creepy" is stretching it sometimes.
The Gameboy camera easter egg stops being scary when you realize that's just the Japanese equivalent of drawing mustaches on people's pictures.
How is it a Japanese equivalent
This feels racist.
Fun fact for anyone who wants to get the Man-Bat scare out of the way: Grappling onto the Gotham Globe building will always trigger the jumpscare so you don’t have to worry about being randomly scared.
Glad to be told this after ive completed the game 10 times already😅
Hey, just wanted to make a pedantic correction of the WoW Goldshire Children. In reality, nothing about them was intended to be creepy. WoW has always had NPC's that wander to make the world feel more alive. The children wander the road around Goldshire and Storming, going into that house sometimes. The pentagram is just the shape of mobs programmed to keep with one another in a blob as I don't even think WoW NPCs can path in a circle.
The "eerie music" that's said to play in the house is the default classic WoW overworld cave music. Most friendly buildings don't have interior music, but that one was set to use the at-the-time default by mistake. The "you will die" is staged by the person who made that video. Its a voice clip from the raid boss C'thun. WoW allows you to create soundboard of any sound in the game data using macros. The person in that video mapped a key to the macro and voila. Very easy trick to pull since they had their UI toggled off.
WoW has plenty of real scary stuff scattered all across its many expansions. Its sad that that years old debunked hoax is what gets attention in videos like these
Oh there's loads and loads, some really good ones, I used to be heavily into WoW from day one for a _gooood_ few years, especially all the hidden and fun stuff.
100% the whole thing surrounding them kids is all internet creepypasta-esque crap, I'm with you on that, _but,_ I wouldn't completely rule out somebody behind a monitor being like "I'm gonna have these creepy NPC kids in this area" for no reason, for something to do, so I cant rule out "nothing about them was intended to be creepy".
I was disappointed when the iceberg creator didn't include the Hall of Upside Down Sinners on this, I know it was cut content for a time and atm I don't think it's so hidden anymore but it's a creepy ass room with a creepy ass name for sure
Never played WoW but I do like easter eggs, especially creepy ones. Isn't the literal fuckin Cthulu under the ocean in that game?
WoW isn't my wheelhouse, but I did play WotLK back in the day, and I remember there being an "easter egg" where C'thun's voicelines would very rarely play while you were in Northrend, or so I was led to believe.
It only happened to me once, and I was newer to the game, and had no addons installed, and after doing a spot of research just now, it seems other people have experienced hearing the C'thun lines while visiting the Goldshire Children, but again, I'm not very experienced with the inner-workings of WoW, but there was, also, allegedly an addon, called Deadly Boss Mods (?) that would also play the C'thun lines as their own jokey easter egg, so it's possible the person who made the aforementioned video may have had that addon (it's apparently popular?) and this is them not knowing about the included easter egg.
But like I said, I'm not sure what to think, since I never used addons or anything like that when I played WoW.
@@HomekittyL2 It's apparently a giant squid, but it's very Cthluhu-looking, for sure.
If you search for "WoW giant squid" you can find a video showing you all about it, since you need to do some special things to get it to "show up".
Something about a magic horn?
Personally the Star Fox easter egg is the creepiest to me. The fact that General Pepper seemingly notices that Fox is just...GONE and now trapped in this infinite void full of faces staring at him is terrifying.
Yeah, that everyone else acknowledges his absence is kinda terrifying. Especially since it seems like he can’t respond
Honestly, i would be freaking out too if my coworker and friend went off course from the path and just suddenly disappeared and all forms of communication get cut off

The Slenderman jumpscare on Runner 2 isn't real, that's just a troll added to that one YT video that showcased Slenderman spottings on the level (which are real). So many youtubers have fallen for this one...
Damn I always thought it looked kind of fake but multiple video showed it so I just assumed it was legit
New creepy sourcebrew video? Late at night? While I'm alone on Christmas in the dark? Truly a happy holiday!
i was never really bothered by horror or violence in games/movies, even when i was pretty young, but seeing the gameboy camera run easter egg on youtube for the first time around the age of 11-12 left me legit traumatized for quite a while.
It still scares me..
For me, it's the one specific sound clip that drones on that makes them really freaky.
The Futurama Easter Egg was found, actually. It required you to do a few specific actions like breaking the fire extinguisher case but not picking it up and collecting certain amounts of money in different increments
CORRECTION: the MK9 Crypt monster actually can jumpscare you randomly in the Krypt while you're unlocking stuff not in the main menu. The krypt is it's own play area divided into areas and the nekropolis which lays in front of it. Pretty much wherever you are you will have a chance to get jumpscared when in the Krypt, you won't get jumpscared in the main menu or Nekropolis area.
Anyway cool video sourcebrew :)
Mmmmn😋
I mean, the phone calls in The Darkness are FAR from the most grim thing in the game. The actual Darkness itself and what it intentionally does to Jackie aside, I STILL remember stumbling blindly in the trenches of Hell, getting ambushed by enemies through the dense fog/smoke.
that scooby doo one is actually insane oml i would of had nightmares for weeks if i saw that when i was younger
right?
just an extra note about the cult ending in dream daddy, it wasnt there on release, but dataminers found it, it kinda became an urban legend in the fandom until the devs confirmed it was a thing and released it on halloween.
I totally remember that from the internet a while ago I was even trying to theorize💀
The Bioshock music was apparently confirmed to be the VAs just singing and screwing around.
Ok look I gotta explain the HellValleySkyTrees thing: So the term "Hell Valley" refers to a real place in Japan (Jigokudani) which is a mountainous region with volcanic activity that creates a lot of hotsprings. In the winter it is both snowy and has smoke rising from where the volcanic activity is, and the hotsprings are obviously still hot. The assets for Shiverburn Galaxy were named after this place in Japanese, and when the assets were localized into english it was localized as "hell valley"
As for the "tree" part of it, that I'm less sure about but it seems likely that the Kodama theory is correct. They look kinda like Kodama, which are japanese tree spirits, so it's likely that the "tree" part of the file name is another localization, however i'm unsure if the original japanese file names refer to them as Kodama or not.
In a video in his RUclips Channel Masahiro Sakurai revealed that it's common practive in Japanese to name files in english rather than japanese, therefore I think it's likely the SMG2 dev who created those assets simply put the japanese name into google translate and got "hell valley sky tree" and simple went with it

15:34 that's hex maniac, a type of pokemon trainer. What I found on the wikipage: "On the second floor of the Lumiose City's Fighting Dojo building, a Hex Maniac will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away. The meaning of this in-game event, if it has any, is so far unknown." and "In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, on the first floor of Mt. Pyre's inner section, a Hex Maniac says: "... No, you're not the one. ... Ah..." so she's seen as an easter egg in 2 different occasions, saying the same thing, interesting
theres a lot of small inaccuracies in this, but it was nostalgic nonetheless!
1:17:09 I think the craziest thing about this jumpscare is that is a REAL picture of a mummy that has been photoshopped. So an actual corpse in a kids game :(
I don't really get why this is an "Iceberg"

I think 90% of the stuff on the entire list could be considered level 1. I was shocked to see stuff like Ratman dens and Half Life 2 zombie screams at like level 5, like cmon ratman dens are impossible to miss in the game, which also is one of the most famous puzzle games of all time.
@@stoopidapples1596creator of the iceberg probably just wasn’t super familiar with portal. I had no idea who ratman was prior to watching

The reversed audio of the Half Life 2 zombie is probably the most haunting and unsettling thing I have ever heard in my life. Just to think that we are having fun while killing them.

I have watched countless Silent Hill P.T. videos/theories/etc and never once has anyone said the dialogue was also in MGS 5. Wild.
The GTA: San Andreas mass grave easter egg at 16:51 is actually a reference to Mary-Beth Maybell, the in-game radio host of the country music radio station K-Rose.
She had six husbands who all died through mysterious circumstances. The theory is that she killed them for their money, since she has said that she prefers older men with weak health and life insurance accounts.
Six dead husbands. Six body bags in the grave.
I was thinking that
I thought that easter egg was connected to the infinity killer in gta 5
@@xxxrevengexxx17x10 Doubtful tbh.
I thought it was always just referencing the introduction movie with the mob dudes dumping bodies in that area
Nice catch
Some more DDLC ones (HEAVY SPOILERS):
1) If you start a new game after deleting Monika's character file, Sayori has a mental breakdown immediately as she bears the burden of knowledge about being a video game character that Monika once held.
2) If you delete Sayori's character file and start a new game, the game opens to a white background with a black and white Sayori hanging from offscreen. Wait around, and the text "now everyone can be happy" will appear.
3) In an earlier version of the game, if you tried to quit the game at the point of finding Sayori dead, the "do you want to quit?" text would warp and Sayori would be superimposed onto it.
Also, Act 3 Monika has a completely separate function where she won't read out your personal name at the start of you are recording, with the list of detected software being longer than the jumpscare one.
Also also, the Playstation version of DDLC+ is censored, with Yuri's blood being black and her pupils disappearing on the Friday of Act 2. Only the playstation version, despite the game getting uncensored ports to the XBOX and Switch.
that game is so dark yet so interesting. a visual novel that throws you into a horrifying world of existential dread
I knew about pretty much all of these but I still never get tired of watching videos about creepy stuff in video games.
Legend says that Adrian Carmack and some of the other team put John's head in the Icon of Sin cause they needed something to take damage for the boss and thought it was funny. John was noclipping around the map after hours and found it, got with Bobby (the sound guy) and recorded the backwards line to put in the game to spook the other devs and get back at them. Funny stuff.
always love a good sourcebrew iceberg
It made me laugh really hard when you called it a "Gameboy Camera Application." We just powered on the system with the cart in it. lol. This is one of those moments where I feel old, but it's still funny.
For someone who used to play Wizard101 since Nov. 2011 on and off, I literally had no idea about the blue face Easter egg up until now

Ok so the ghost girl in D&P/BD&SP has a very sad story to her. Basically she encountered Darkrai, fell into an enteral slumber with never ending nightmares and her parents left to get the item or Pokémon (or both can’t remember which) to get her out of it but were too late so they heartbrokenly moved away. No idea why the butler stayed behind.
I thought that was the story for the ghost girl in b2/w2 with the marvelous bridge? But honestly this makes sense too
Meredith Stroud from the beginning of Cyberpunk 2077 can be found as well with concrete shoes close to the area you get Johnny's Porche. Pretty creepy especially if you happen upon it organically(which isn't typical or easy to do).
Nothing of value was lost.
Yep if you didn't side with her. That's a cool detail they did
An 'easter egg' I found that I haven't been able to find online was in CoD: WWII. Not scary as much somber and mysterious.
In one of the missions as you travel up the tower you can find a dying soldier, he reaches out to you and talking to you in German. Asking for forgiveness? Comfort? Mercy? I have no idea, I never found a translation and I've never come across the solider alive again, he's always dead in my replays.

😂😂😂 Lol! It definitely does look like that!
Merry Christmas!!! Thanks for the video!!!
for the marvelous bridge ghost, it's actually fleshed out more in the sequels, Black 2/White 2. There's a new haunted location called the strange house where you learn that the ghost girl (likely the same one since they look the same) fell into an endless sleep and passed away. It's actually how you get Cresselia, one of the legendary pokemon.
I can remember to have never stopped being disappointed that it was resolved with Darkrai. It feels like if they resolve the Gen 6 girl and it ended up being about someone oweing someone 5 bucks, it would be about as usual business in the context of the Pokeworld.
I will point out with D/P’s Old Chateau and BDSP’s Old Chateau is that the ‘Added’ scares in the remakes were also there in the originals.
It was subtle but the picture’s eyes still glowed but it was like 1 pixel and disappeared when you got close.
The old man in the dining room was also present.
Cement shoes aren't actually a real method of execution, due to the fact cement has to harden first and that takes quite a while. I imagine the myth of cement shoes probably grew from the use of cement objects to weigh bodies down when disposing of them, but execution? Nah.
Also Kojima left Konami, he wasn't booted. Possibly he was coerced to leave, but whatever the case is, he formally simply left.
kojima was essentially booted out. Even if he formally left, he was booted out of his brainchild of MGSV and they booted him from Silent Hills. He was booted.
btw, cry of fear wasn't a mod for half life 2, it was a mod for the first half life game which released in 1998, with the mod starting development around 2005-2006, then releasing the final release in 2012 on moddb and eventually steam.

There is another Stardew Valley easter egg, that I personally find more disturbing than the alien one, referred to as the Dove Children.
In the game, you can find a Witch's Hut, where inside there are three Dark Shrines which you can use to affect certain statuses in your game. One wipes the memory of any ex-spouses of yours, making it so they've never met you before. While another simply enables monsters to spawn on your farm.
The third is the most disturbing, since it turns the children you have with your spouse, into doves, which will make them fly away and thefore permanently remove them from your game.
This unlocks several easter eggs to appear in the game, which involves you encountering dolls (either by fishing it up, or it appearing on your TV), you witness said doves flying in formation at a summit, or you getting a creepy phone call where you hear static and the message "You Have Forsaken Us."
@@HadenBlake After the TV message, the doll will appear in the hut near the appropriate shrine, which will attack until killed, but will respawn upon re-entry. When killed, the doll turns into a black bird which flies away, which is also creepy.
the ghost in world 4-4 in SM 3D land, I played that game a lot on my 3DS, over and over, and this easter egg is one of the few easter eggs ive organically encountered, as in not been told about in advance, I just noticed it one day back then and thought it was cool haha, really nice to see it pop up in a video and be able to go "oh hey i remember that one!" when usually all the eggs in these videos are a surprise to me XD
As someone who is trying to become a future game dev. These creepy Easter eggs are some of my favorites things in video games ever since I used to watch creepy Easter egg videos back in the day and still watch creepy Easter egg videos as you can see since I’m making this comment lmao. And if I ever actually make any huge game, I’m 100% gonna hide a bunch of random creepy secrets hidden throughout it.
You got a name yet for your Game? I hope its gonna be a good game
34:57 the scariest part of it is that if you look closely they are all corpses of the main character Elizabeth from parallel universes.
Best Christmas gift ever!
Man this brought me back to watching those types of videos all the time, love it. Funnily enough, watched it while playing RDR2, so the fact it appeared so much in that video was fitting. And the fact that both of my fav game series (No More Heroes and Yakuza) were in there is a nice surprise :D
Noww, Harvest Moon/Story Of Seasons was my first videogame ever and still to this day I love the games a lot. And I'm always very fascinated with all the weirdly out of place dark/mysterious stuff that can happen. Even things as "simple" as the animal death music in some games being the most chilling thing you'll ever hear :'D
But there's a specific thing that came to mind because I recently played the Friends Of Mineral Town remake. There is a character in the game, the towns priest Carter, and he will sometimes tell you what he calls a parable. He actually starts it of like that:
"Ah. perfect timing. Might you stay long enough to listen to a parable of mine? l'll warn you--it may get a little long."
And after the first one I thought okay seems to be like he's just talking about fairytales and then the moral to come out of it.
When you build up your friendship with him, he will tell other stories.
But then one hit that was a little bit darker, still nothing too "intense" for this game, but still:
"Once upon a time, in a land not unlike our own, there was a normal family, the kind one would find anywhere. A father, mother, and their juvenile son all lived together
in blissful harmony.
One day, the mother succumbed to a virulent illness and suddenly passed away. As the grief-stricken father stood over his late wife, the little boy came up to him, and asked, "What happened to Mom?"
The boy curiously peered at his dearly departed mother's unblinking face.
The father, unsure what to say, desperately explained that she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Upon hearing that, the boy was greatly troubled. He told his father: "Then please, Dad, use all of my allowance and buy a big
alarm clock to wake her up."
What do you think of that?
That was when the father learned that the diluted words adults use to avoid speaking of death...
...hold neither power over nor meaning to children.
Think on that. I bid you a blessed day."
And honestly, this was unexpectedly deep for a game that's meant for everyone to play, meaning children too... But then, the topic of death sometimes comes up in the game, from animals or characters even dying.
NOWWW the last one is one that just left me staring at the screen because it was so unexpected 💀💀
"This is a true story that takes place before I became a priest. Once, I was penniless and lived out my days days in a small
apartment. From my apartment window, when the curtains were drawn, I could see into the building right across from
mine.The room I could see was just as gloomy as mine.
Eventually, I learned that a married couple lived there.The wife would leave for work each day while the husband remained behind. I assumed he was some sort of artist.
At least, that's what I thought at first, until I noticed something odd.
Whenever I looked into their living space, he was always squatting in the exact same position. From then on. I found myself paying much more attention to that room across the way.
The husband remained in the exact same place and posture from when the curtains opened to when they closed at night.
But he was not motionless, I could see him talking and moving his head.
One day, a small fire broke out in that apartment. My gaze hovered over their open window. And what did I find but the husband squatting in his usual place, a troubled expression etched upon his face.
I knew the wife had left for the day, so I scrambled over to help the husband.
By the time I arrived, the room was filled with smoke but I could see him turning toward me. Running to his side, I laid my hands upon him, ready to forcibly drag him out--but despite his weedy appearance surely he would be as light as paper, I told myself--his body was stone-heavy.
That was when my eyes traveled downward and saw four hands jutting from the floor, holding him in place.
"Aaaaaagh!"
Phew-Even now, remembering the horror I felt in that moment still gives me goosebumps."
And that's it. The conversation just ends, no "What do you think of that" or moral of the story at the end, just that?? I was kinda flabbergasted, it's just so out of nowhere and makes you think Bro you good? 😭
a nice little tidbit about the ddlc monika jumpscare: what usually happens in that moment (when you're not recording) is that monika asks if your in-game name is actually your real name, and brings up the name of your pc. this whole recording easter egg was probably implemented to avoid streamers getting doxxed lmao
in 52:12 , it's actually not a peep hole, it's the desperate attempt of the previous owner of the room to get out of the room
haha takes me back watching easter egg videos back in 2014 damn 😭
About the Farcry 5 clown easter egg. There's a nother one. I randomly stumbled across it while just exploring. I found it before the clown barn. There is a pipe going beneath a road (drainage pipe? i'm not a native eng speaker so dont rightly know what it would be called) some where, dont remember where as i havent played the game for quite a long time now. But in that pipe there is a red baloon. it creeped the F out of me, as i just had watched IT.
Some of my favorites by far are the creepy ghost message in Rollercoaster Tycoon, Mario Galaxy's "Hell Valley Sky Trees", and the billboard in California Speed on the N64
Small correction: The Mk9 screamer jumpscare occurs in The Krypt. Not the main menu
1:00:03 nitpicky correction. Traditions of the Trade takes place in a Hotel, not a hospital.
Fun news, OddHeader and The Easter Egg Hunter as well as many community members solved the Futurama mystery earlier this year!
It's super interesting and I'd check it out
Your missing something about Maniac Mansion, if you give the exploded Hamster back to its owner, he gets so mad that he straight up kills that character, it cuts away to a gravestone with that kids name, and that kid is perm killed for that game. And that was in an NES game it allows a kid to be killed and see the aftermath.
Love your vids, been watching for a long time and its interesting to see your improvement
I just love these Iceberg videos! It never gets old.
i don't know why i usually watch those video like this while playing Minecraft at MIDNIGHT
Thank ya homie something to listen to while I play some fallout 4 and hit my dabs, merry Christmas bro
The Kanye Quest Ascend Easter Egg isn’t about the Cult, I heard that The Dev or someone who was involved with the Game Stated that the Easter Egg Is referring to the Ascend Religion (idk what the Real Name of the Religion is), where People Believe that you dont live once but Forever by ascending when you die and getting reborn or something. Correct me if anything is wrong I saw it in a Video by Oddheader 😅
Dude I wanted Psychonauts to be mentioned so bad hell yeah!! In other news, I don't think I would call it "an otherwise kid friendly game" though, still a scary Easter Egg but not entirely out of place. Just look at the final boss, or the whole final level actually.
Edit: Oh god I still have to fast forward that Scooby Doo thing, it'll never not scare me I don't think. There's no recovering...
Yeah, anyone calling Psychonauts a kids game showcases anyone who hasn't actually played the game. It's absolutely an adult oriented game with a "kid-friendly" art style and basic concept.
I had put that "Escape from the Coolsonian" jumpscare completely out of my mind until now, this one got me REAL bad when I was younger and is possibly one of the most intense experiences I've ever had with jumpscares
Idk if this counts as creepy but i used to play undertale a lot. If you go to the waterfall where there's a flower puzzle where you must throw flowers across the water to cross it, if you go back you'll see flowey for a moment before he dives into the ground. If you go to the waterfall and back again he doesnt show up. This happens a couple more times and the implication is clear: Flowey is always following you, and always watching you, throughout the whole game. Not to mention the Ghaster easter eggs.
Surprised to see The Sims there. Every mainline game is there! I'll explain more on the entries here.
4:13 Also in City Living, sims can be invited to attend performances. This one takes the easter egg further, as one message that can pop up after that was that the performance the sim went to see was The Murder of 1313 21 Chic Street and it is described as terrifying and is a true story. When buying it furnished, it has a rug over the outline to cover it. Though in the recent times, the chalk outline will go above the rug. You had one job, rug!
Also, to continue, the apartment isn't haunted... by default. You can make it haunted through Lot Challenges though. Other than that, it's just a decoration.
5:44 The burglar music shouldn't play when a prank call happens. I have viewed a lot of videos to confirm the fact when another video stated the same thing. So no, it's just a creepy message without music and sim sounding confused afterwards. Though some of the prank calls has also been brought into The Sims 4 too.
11:40 Yeah... After all, The Sims 2 Apartment Life (the pack it is from) also introduces witches. Though fortunately, witches won't harm young sims there.
29:22 Krakens only swim by houseboats and smaller boats, so sims shouldn't attract them. However, it needs to be mentioned that krakens can actually attack small boats, destroying it (sims on the boat will be fine). It is rare indeed, with the chance increasing when it has swum by, it's raining heavily, or the sim is near a hidden island. Though sims with a specific reward ability can actually summon it to attack boats and will never be attacked themselves. Though I wouldn't call it an easter egg due to it being on trailers (plus meteors are rarer, come with jumpscarish music, and can kill sims), I guess it is somewhat worthy to be on the iceberg.
You may already know this, but in Mario Kart Arcade GP, there's a photo of the Belgian School Hostage crisis.
WHAT
@@nman551 It’s true. Go to TCRF (The Cutting Room Floor).
@@nman551 Go to TCRF. It’s there.
Whats that?
@@MRdoomPAY The Cutting Room Floor has a website dedicated to most game’s unused stuff. In Mario Kart Arcade GP, an unused image is a picture of the Belgian School Crisis. Which is shocking, regardless.
You get an instant follow for actually acknowledging Sonic CD's different soundtrack in the JP version. Nobody EVER mentions that
Redd's "haunted" paintings are the fake ones.
In game you're supposed to shine a flashlight on them before buying, to see if you're getting the real one or not.
It would make sense for the paintings to be super different in dim lighting, and then similar to the original painting when there's light on them.
Because you're supposed to be "scammed" by Redd and his seemingly convincing paintings.
Good job! FYI Some of the title cards are wrong. And there seems to be a lot of nothing on the screen for a video game video. Looking forward to more.
not sure if it was mentioned but in the same Nuketown map with those mannequins if you instead of shooting off their heads shoot off their arms you will get a weeping angel situation where they are chasing you only when you're not looking at them
Clown : Laughs like a maniac
meanwhile player : Casually reloading rifles.
good video but just a personal pet peeve-- if you're doing 2 entries from the same series/game (especially if you reference that fact in an entry) maybe do those two entries as a joint entry, just doing an entry on that game/series itself? like for example it was just really annoying having to hear the same entry about a squid easter egg in 2 seperate games when you could have made it flow smoother. other than that this was pretty entertaining :) hope you make more
Honestly the Red Dead franchise’s creepy Easter eggs could have an entire iceberg of their own
"yume nikki is a game with mindbending narrative"
Blud didn't even played it, the game literally has no narrative
I love Silent Hill's music in the background ❤
The Man-Bat appeared in a few episodes in the animated series from the early 90s, it's a cool little callback as well as a jumpscare.
