Someone on Reddit exploited the hostile dolls from Stardew to max out their combat skill in a single day. There's no limit to how many times you can have kids to turn into doves, so they had an absolute ton of kids, turned them all into doves, then killed the horde of angry dolls to hit level 10 combat.
You know whats the scariest part or Payday 2? A fucking Cloaker crawling out of the sewer while screaming like an alarm siren, spriting at you at mach 10 and kickflipping over a fucking Toyota to beat the shit out of you. I take Chuthulu any day over those discount Sam Fisher psychos
ill never forget while playing splatoon 2, just as the round ended, a telephone ringing sound played from somewhere in the map. i never heard it ever again and its haunted me since.
Was that inkblot art academy during a splatfest? I thought that sound effect only played during recon! If you stick around you hear the same talking sound effects from the squid beacon.
Hey Gambado, not sure if you talked about this already but there is another easter egg in Splatoon that terrified me as a child (and still does tbh). In the boss rooms, there is a small area before you actually fight the boss where there is no music, just silence. But if you wait and listen closely enough, you can hear screams of absolute terror in the distance. As a kid, I remember standing still before a boss fight because my sister was talking to me, when I suddenly heard those screams. I got to scared that I actually had tears in my eyes and the fact that is was never really explained always left me with a sense of dread when I entered the boss rooms after that.
I think the "screams" are actually supposed to be the metal walls of the underground domes that the Octarians live in creaking from being so old and worn out. It sounds more like being inside an old ship than human-ish screams to me.
isn't that the octarians screaming as all their (stolen) power sources are taken and their structures (most of which are floating) fall and presumably kill millions?
I've skipped the dlc packs but apparently it's addressed in Octo Expansion which takes place in a subway station, hence the screeching metal, while the screams were the sounds of Octolings getting labotomized by an evil robot in a phone using giant blender... yes that is actually a part of the DLC story. That being said, you can still hear the sounds in the sewer map of Splatoon 3 so I guess its not full gone
The place where octo expansion takes place isn't near the octo canyon but rather inkopolis, so the screams are definitely not from sanitized octolings@@DarkGekkouga
As someone who never played Stardew Valley I find the whole getting rid of your kids with magic mechanic creepy. Definitively not something I'd expect from a game everyone describes as comfy.
this game can be very dark at least 2 people there are high alcoholics the same as you can marry, you can divorce, which makes then forever depressed when you talk to them, and you can do this to all possible partners so i can have half the village sad to see you
The lighting glitch is a lot creepier than the intentional ghost, and the fact that it's accidental/coincidental is creepier too, because one can have fun imagining that a supernatural entity is using code to some random game to reach out in some little creepy way
I still think hearing Haltmann's screams of pain in Kirby Planet Robobot is disturbing, you also won't experience this unless you play the True Arena. It's basically implied that he's being deleted by the machine Star Dream after he was taken over by it. There's also some text boxes on the pause screens that give a bit more info on what happened to him. Kind of a tragic character really. Sorry if I'm overly persistent with this, I don't know too many creepy easter eggs besides that.
Kirby games in general often have terrifying hidden content. I don't know if the Haltmann stuff is really an Easter egg, but not every single thing in these videos counts anyway.
Funniest thing about the PayDay 2 one is that it's technically canon to the actual lore of the game. Like by that point in the story those giants have been mentioned multiple times and are tied to the main story. Many people don't know this but PayDay's lore just gets INSANE at some point and just has full on supernatural elements, it's pretty cool (and weird)
1:38 That might actually be a reference to the greek legend of perdix, a child whom daedalus pushed off of a roof to his death and a god saved by turning him into a bird.
The window ghost in Splatoon 3 is pretty unnerving, especially since now its for real and actually resembles an Inkling. Though, I can kinda laugh at it, since it kinda looks like the ghost of an Inkling is still watching the Turf Wars. Even death won't stop this one Inkling from being a fan.
Aight, so I've got a couple ideas for entries in a future video. 1. Pink Panther Passport to Peril. The last day in Camp ChillyWawa. There's a lot of creepy imagery, sounds, and damn, the MUSIC in particular is nightmare fuel straight out of Silent Hill. 2. The Museum of Anything Goes. A very trippy game that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but gets suddenly dark when you accidentally make someone fall from the sky and have to host a funeral for them. Whatever you do, don't tap on their coffin or you'll be sorry.
Mkx krypt has random jumps area by spiders in the spider cave and a wolf jumpscare, where you have to press a button to kill them for both. Mk11 has no jumpscares but you can see spiders run at you, which you can kill but you have to be fast otherwise they will spit fire and kill you
When I was a kid playing Sims 1 I didn’t know that the prank calls were supposed to just be nothing meaningful, and the mask image scared me + it made a sound effect that scared me at the time too, so when I got “think twice about opening the door” I was scared shitless for my sim for a good while.
Heres a suggestion. In the original Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, in the map Zomboss Estates if you look into the woods you could see slenderman standing there, eventually an update came out and he was eaten by a chomper. However the idea of slenderman watching the battle is unnerving
God bless your IBS. Lord knows I spend some tough 5am shitter sessions..sometimes we push it, sometimes it pushes us. Don’t do the “fermented” food s on an empty stomach I always say. If you’ve ever had midnight sauerkraut from the jar you will know what I’m talking about . The gas will pass, but the shit hits. My wife Marie knows how much of the lord’s towels I use every week..sometimes I eject rolls from the back like I’m firing a god damn “m60” hahaha. God bless .
The Formidable Oak and Plasm Wraith from Pikmin 3 is still probably the closest the series has gotten to being a horror game. The eerie music, lack of enemies and the ones that spawn are created by the wraith, and the logs of Olimar describing how every time he tries to escape it actives his spacesuits sleep mode. All of that genuinely creeped me out when I was younger.
The prank calls were some of the scariest shit to young me when I was new to them, especially since I would play the game at night at times. Eventually I realized the icon used for them is the same for the more weirder/jokey ones, and since very seldom anything happened afterward, started to realize they were jokes.
I was a nintendo child, so all of the experiences I have are mostly linked to. That being said, the Robots game for the GBA scared me. Madame Gasket scared me. She had a really creepy song that placed during her boss fight, and she laughed at you and toued with you for the whole fight. The other horrific experience from my childhood was the falls in the Madagascar GBA game. You were stalked by oversized arachnids. That is also the origin of my arachniphobia.
the giant in shackelthorn action in payday 2 is a nephiilm as they are a part of payday's secret ending you can see more nephilim in the diamond heist as there are mummified remains of one and you can see a picture of one towering over the white house foreshadowing the secret ending
Here's a suggestion: Majora's Mask (I know) has a song that Link can play called the Elegy of Emptiness. The statue it summons is so creepy, multiple creepypastas were written about it INCLUDING BEN Drowned, which is where I assume you first heard of the Song of Unhealing. As a kid I was also scared shitless and always has to ask my siblings to complete those puzzles for me...
I remember being freaked out by the fight with Marx in Kirby Superstar Ultra for the DS. The way he sprouts bat wings and gets fangs was already unnerving, but when you defeat him his jaw unhinges, he's cut in half (no blood of course, but still), and it gives the most awful scream I had ever heard at the time. Also, I'm not sure how creepy this one is since I think it's actually really cool, but I know you can encounter the headless horseman in Skyrim. He has a very specific route, but I imagine that I would be terrified if I encountered him randomly. The Fallout Series also has a TON of H.P. Lovecraft inspired easter eggs, although at this point they've weaved themselves into their own plotline. Love the video!
Also, in splatoon 1 in a boss area of campaign you can hear extremely creepy noises which after finding the lore in splatoon 3, it was apperantly the sounds of the last humans getting crushed by a volcano caving in
I have a few scary things in non scary and or kid games Scooby-Doo and the Spooky Swamp: Since it's Scooby doo it's kinda supposed to be "scary" a little, but it's for kids and these few things scared me when I was a kid. 1: Anytime "Lila's Theme" played, it plays whenever the character Lila is in the scene or mentioned most of the time, it makes me kind of scared but in a disturbed sad way?? 2: El Scaryachi, the first boss of the game, mostly when he plays his creepy harmonica tunes and the creepy soundtrack that plays when you make your way up to the place that activated his chase sequence. 3: On the level where El Scaryachi is, there's the pinata enemies that grossed and creepy me out as a kid. They act like Minecraft creepers in the sense of don't go near them too long or they blow up, but they just make weird ass noises and start vibrating before they blow up. I remember avoiding going near them whenever they were nearby they just freaked me out. 4: The Giant Yeti boss bigfoot like sightings you get in the snow area, you get glimpses of its shadow in the blizzard before going out of sight. Also just seeing remnants of its presence (the footprints at the lodge and broken gates) is creepy. The Simpsons Game: Not at all a scary game but some points creeped child me out. 1: The video game slaves, seeing Mario and Sonic (Sonic especially stuck with me) being forced to work gave me the creeps. It somehow gave kid me the same vibes of the cyborg Mickey mouse characters from Epic Mickey for some reason? Looking at the gameplay of the Simpsons Game idk why kid me thought that. 2: Sherri and Terri The Shining Easter Egg(?): I cannot find any clips of this but I remember in the vide game level where you play multiple video game parodies, if you go to one of the golden elevator doors it opens up to show the twins Sherri and Terri. I believe it does this exclusively to Lisa cuz I remember both saying "Come play with us Lisa" both me and my younger sister were kinda freaked out at that. UPDATE ON SHINING EASTER EGG: with some help I found the Easter egg does exist and is listed on the wiki. I am just baffled I haven't seen it on video before
You're in a N64 Zelda mood, aren't you? I recognise those songs in the background!! 😁 Gotta admit, the song of unhealing at the end threw me off guard 😂
You have to put Mickey Mouse's Magical Mirror in this video. It scared the hell out of me in my childhood. You can see someone hanging from the ceiling with a chair underneath. It even has jump scares! Had so many nightmares.
The fun part about the Payday 2 easter egg is that it's actually directly tied to the game's overarching story and the same reference is also made either in the White House heist or promo/foreshadowing material for said heist, showing the Nephilim observing the 1814 burning of the White House.
Gambado there is a weird sorta out of place easter egg in destiny two. From what i can tell it triggers only when wearing the reverie dawn armor set. Some times you can hear a whisper sayin "i know what you did"
@shrimpyalfredo3933 I do with some stuff, but this is one of the few kinds of videos I actually wanna watch, I wanna see Gambado's eggs, not just hear about em.
in skate 3 there is an easter egg in the after dark dlc area you will hear screams when you go close to the asylum doors. You do have to turn the music down to hear it but its pretty freaky for a skateboarding game.
Hey there, might be some creepy easter eggs in Fallout Three. That was one of my favorite games when I was younger, and I recall some moments that were unsettling to say the least. Great video man, keep it up!
The figure in the sky for the Payday 2 easter egg is in fact a Nephilim as they're featured in payday's deeper lore rabbit hole. Even a sled dog driver who had his heart torn out by the Nephilim. The existence of these in Payday's lore is tied to the Dentist character.
Always a big fan of your easter egg and iceberg videos, also looking forward to your more general gaming videos because you always seem to have fun making them.
I remember in Tomodachi Collection two scary things and this is news.First if you didnt save the game and exit the next time you open the game You gonna have Breaking news which say you need to save the game after leaving.The 2nd news introducing the ghost which looks like your mii in appartment the ghost looks very creepy and scary.
I mentioned this in one of the other vids, but in Elebits on the Wii, when you go to the amusement park level, there are statues all over the place of a pink rabbit mascot with what appears to be blood all over it's face. It's actually a direct reference to the character Robbie the Rabbit from Silent Hill, which some of the developers of Elebits worked on. The in game description for the statue says it's "ketchup" and not blood, but 10 year old me was not buying that shit and I'd pick the little fucker up and fling him halfway across the map
The payday 2 easter egg we know isnt Cthulu in the distance but something called the Nephillim you can also see it in a picture on a few other heists and has some vague background lore
That MK9 kept jumpscare as a kid was absolutely horrifying I remember going to a friend’s place and we entered the krypt all mesmerized about how advanced it seemed at the time then the jumpscare happened and we didn’t play krypt for a week
The splashdown kraken reminds me of the sea monster from Spore. That shit terrified as a kid to the point where I never went anywhere near the water in the creature stage
The scornet maestro from pikmin 3. The boss figth itself didn’t scare me as a kid but the death cutscene did. As the creature screeches in agony only to accidentally dislocate its own jaw and fall to the ground.
Splatoon ghost face being created through a lighting glitch is actually genius. Any texture file is going to probably go through review these days to avoid whoopsies legal problems. Or it gets datamined on day one. There’s probably career penalties for having undocumented things these days. But a lighting glitch is amazing plausible deniability and you can’t just datahoor that out. Datamining has ruined so much. I’m glad something happened to have a similar effect in an undetectable way.
Just wanted to offer a pedantic correction! In the MK11 segment, you misunderstood what players of the game meant with "equip Kenshi's blindfold". The guy you play as in the Krypt is not Kenshi. He's a generic unnamed warrior. The Krypt mode in MK11 takes place in the dessicated ruins of Shang-Tsung's island. Over the years, the various baddies that resided there collected keepsakes of various characters, one of them being Kenshi, a blind swordsman that uses psychic powers bestowed by his ancestral blade.
So not really an Easteregg, more like another game over screen. Its from Tekken tag tournament 2, against Ogre. If you ko against him and don't press continue in time, he will proceeds to eat you which is grim at least.
A creepy easter I'd lov eto see covered comes from the game project sekai: colorful stage feat. Hatsune Miku. Basically in the 2D music video for the song "ghost girl" (Shoujo Rei) the ending sees three main characters standing on a railway, the gate slowly closing. Then, after that, you see the shadow of the train speeding by and some ghostly visuals as the screen fades to black.
when i was a kid there was this built in battle royal mode on my xbox 360 that definitely unsettled me as a kid. No one ever joined so it was just super empty, except for this one time when someone joined but they left after a little bit. also in fable two, some of the areas got very quiet and i could here a high piched voice talking and i was super weird. idk if i was because i had low honor or what but it was strange for sure. You should look into these for sure!
Firewatch is a game that seems pretty tame at first you're ina forest talking with until halfway through you find out you've been getting stalked in the forest by the last guy on firewatch duty who presumably killed his son
The jumpscare in MK9 gives me "Toasty" vibes from the early MK games, with how they slide into view from the bottom, do their noise, then slide back down
Not sure if you talked about the creepy hands in the River Twygs from Super Paper Mario. The audio is reversed, but I don't remember what was said. It was cries for help, if I recall.
The "Goblin dude" from MK9 is actually a Goblin gal. if you look at the bottom of the picture, you can see the base of breasts. This is because they edited Melina's model to make this thing (presumably because she already had a monstrous appearance).
Surprised there haven't been more memes with the MK9 goblin guy holding random stuff. Like he's popping up out of nowhere to say something like, "YOU WANT ME TO POUR YOU SOME MOUNTAIN DEW??"
8:50 Payday 2's lore is hyper complex, but nephilim and stuff are canon to the series, same with god-like beings like the dentist (a contractor in the second installment).
2 jumpscares that really made my pants make a zebra jealous were "quantum conundrum"s "do a thing" from the ps3 and "lego marvel superheroes"s venom's jumpscare on a building (dont remember wich level it was nor the building's name)
Did not get me personally, but funnily enough my cousin was always deeply unsettled by Twilight Town from Paper Mario: TTYD due to the eerie, depressing atmosphere being such an abrupt change from the rest of the game. Something that DID get me was the Game Over "Return of Ganon" screen from Zelda II, made me not want to play it as a child.
This one may count as a horror gsme bur i think a specific moment from subnautica below zero counts. The snowstalker jumpscare when entring the base of yhis one girl of the degasi crew. The game has a few jumpscare moments but this one made me scream the loudest
I actually played Splashdown and encoutered the kraken as a kid. I loved just driving around with the Jetski so I just drove wherever, doing laps around the islands, just being a goofball. I loved playing games outside their intended play area. When my grandpa got me Trackmania Nations Forever I even went into the build mode just so I could drive around the Stadium.
when you mentioned the things when you stay idle for too long, in ultra custom night, one scared the bananas out of me. the audio was "goodnight" either by moon or nightmare BB
Yeah, the first two Sims games were probably the creepiest! I used to play the Sims 2 with my sister, and when the burglar music started, I'd always get really scared. I've also heard the burglar music from the first Sims game, and it made me feel like shitting myself. They're both kinda "Hide away and call the police, you might not make it out."
Shin megami tensei IV isn't scary however the starting sound when you enter a terminal in that game freaked me out at first when I heard of it of a woman speaking in another language, it's in the ost of that place also
Got a handful for you! A quick one would be the final boss of Viewpoint, a neogeo arcade shoot'em'up where you're blasting various alien robots, until the end. Another is the version exclusive level in Earthworm Jim, an unapologetically juvenile platformer probably most known for its snes speedruns, but the genesis (& CD) had an extra level called 'intestinal distress', lets just say the music and sound effects match the artwork for this one. A time sink one would be the hidden bosses in LiveALive, a rare anthology rpg about various people around the world saving their towns from evil, near the end of the game there's roughly a dozen secret bosses littering the land, thing is two of them aren't ones you find but rather hunt you down for trying to escape. Another time consuming one is from Epic Battle Fantasy 5, a classical exploration rpg with a ragtag crew getting into things way over their heads, there's a few unsettling moments in this one one but I'm going to pick the 'temple of trials', the area is a gauntlet of fighting twisted doppelgangers which break the rules of combat. A fairly obvious one would be 'the ruined future' from BioShock Infinite, an alternate history fps about dealing with unforeseen consequences, late in the game you get sent into the future where you failed to save the day and get to witness some of the dystopian world first hand. Lastly I'll add 'the end' from Antichamber, an abstract puzzler like Portal but with a more philosophical tone and minimalist artstyle, you spend the entire game alone with only disconnected ambiance, but realizing you're not alone isn't what's weird, it's the change of scenery.
Hey I got a cool suggestion for the next video, so there’s this creepy ass level in one of my favorite video games or used to be one of my favorites in this game called Pixel Gun 3d and it’s called the School and there’s several ares that are terrifying and scared me as a kid, one of one room where everything is bloody and upside down and you can hear children laughing and there’s another room that’s giant with upside down dead kids hanging from cages with was scary to me when I was little This game is a mobile game btw so idk if this counts. It’s a multiplayer shooter Minecraft style game. Only hardcore pg3d fans know about this campaign level. It’s in world 1 and it’s the last level. Hope this entry gets in the next video!!
In Splatoon 3, there's actually a few new horrific easter eggs in the maps, but here's the most notable: - When "1 Minute Left!" appears in a Splatfest Battle at night in U'Mami Ruins, a statue on the Alpha Team's side becomes possessed with green light (a reference to a few ACNH items, and those are scary enough on their own) and floats around for a few seconds. It's very subtle, but it still makes my skin crawl. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, watching a TV broadcast at 3:33 AM on a Saturday displays an alien broadcast with a mostly unintelligible language. It begins with what sounds with "Greetings" and in the middle says "Stop Trying to Resist". Furthermore, there is a recipe for a D.I.Y. UFO you can obtain from Celeste (she comes during star showers), which is a reference to the Wild World UFOs, but when you walk up to it, an alien identical to the one on the broadcast shoots out of it before ascending back inside. It's strange and uncomfortable for a game like ACNH. But the Tarantulas and Scorpions are scary enough on their own for a 7+ game...
There's a creepy Easter egg in Cuphead where if you get the bad ending, going to the menu and type in the konami code it'll start to play a distorted version of the menu theme.
the payday 2 shadow creature is probably a lovecraft reference, but it actually does show up in other places in the story. Apparently its like an omen of death or something, I forgot, but I think it has to do something with the diamond and the current owner of it.
Another easter egg in Outlaws, though not necessarily creepy, is you can find Max from the Sam and Max series inside a hidden room in a cliffside, where he's wearing a cowboy hat and shooting at you if I remember right. Personally, when I first discovered it as a kid I found it pretty unnerving as I had never heard of the Sam and Max games prior to playing Outlaws so suddenly seeing a cartoon rabbit shooting me in a game with otherwise somewhat realistic-looking enemies definitely caught me off guard. I think this easter egg is in one of the levels from the Handful of Missions expansion, but I might be misremembering.
Here are mines. Hopefully they will make it into a future video: -Finding Nemo PC Game. As a kid back when Finding Nemo was a thing,there was a PC game to tie in with the movie. I ended up having it and I was more of a scaredy cat back then,so I always get my cousin with me to play it because I felt safer. You had two directions,one being Marlin's side and the other being Nemo's. So what scared me was those giant rock statues with their face on them,staring directly at you in the front. And just there in the water in the aquarium is just.. Unsettling. I don't know if this is just me. One minigame that I remember during this was the one where you have to put the pebbles onto that huge thing and you have to guide Nemo through before he gets turn into shred. I think this is after you collect the ''totems'',which are earned after talking with the other fishes in the aquarium after talking to Gill. If you choose Marlin's side,you'll get that scene where Nemo gets kidnapped by the scuba divers. Yes,the game gives you clips from the movie,and that one scene in general traumatized me for years and it still do. The fact you get jumpscared in front of you real close by the scuba diver that kidnaps Nemo and the music that plays during this calls in for a panic. The mask slowly falling down into the water makes it worst if you're scared of the ocean. The music that plays when Marlin and Dory meets the sharks is unsettling too,and it does not help when Bruce chases you afterwards. -The Jumpstart PC Game Haunted Island This was like one of those pre-school PC games from back in late 90's to early 2000's. The Halloween version of Jumpstart was that the school was some kind of a haunted house and the teacher was a witch,who kidnaps and transform kids into monsters,and it's up to the player to find them while solving problems within minigames. You are guided by a bat named Flap. This was traumatizing. Ms. Grunkle is sometimes referred to as "Mrs. Grunkle" in brief portions of the game and in promotional material,prompting some to speculate if she had a husband and what might've become of him. In her living room is a skeleton who sits around watching the television while holding a remote,which some fans have speculated may have been her husband at one point. It was later replaced by JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Sapphire Falls in 1999,due to it getting negative reviews about it being too dark and scary for kids. -The Dog Island game from Playstation 2 This is a game (Which is also made in Japan) where you play as a dog,who lives with his or her (depending on the gender you choose) mother Mar and his or her sibling Emilio/Maria (again depending on the gender you choose) in Puroro Town. Your sibling is sick with a disease that makes them unable to play outside and the father named Doluk had already traveled in search of a cure,but he never came back home. The player then decided to take matters in their own hands (or paws if you say because get it,it's a dog) by sailing with a crew to The Dog island to meet with doctor Potan. The ship is caught in a storm and you ends up separated from the others. The player is rescued by a resident named Amelia. There was a part in the game where you're out in the nature at night and that's when things gets creepy. Hidden deep inside the Kunka Ruins is the Ancient Monster that you will have to defeat in order to save the world. It takes the form of a T-Rex skeleton,and is angry about being sealed away,presumably by your father. I don't remember much because of trauma,but yeah.. -Pokemon XY I found something in the Pokemon XY game,and it's that one part where you have to enter a very strange house,and there was thing old guy telling a creepy story about some kind of ghost or a monster with many hands and watching the player.
there's another "easter egg" in stardew with the haunted mannequins. they'll teleport around your house and violently shake sometimes. I've also heard that they can swap outfits with you but I've never experienced that for myself
Not really an Easter Egg but the King Boo jumpscares in Luigis Mansion Dark Moon is something I didn't know existed and the one where he shows up behind Luigi almost got me at first.
I said this on the last video, but I’ll say it again just in case someone else shares in my experience- Back when I was first getting into gaming I got 2 games for the Wii, “Scooby-Doo First Frights” and “Scooby-Doo and the Spooky Swamp”. First Frights had sectioned level areas and wider enemy variety. Some highlights that freaked me out as a kid were: the headless guy from the first area, the clowns from the second area, the sewer dolls from the second area (specifically when they made this really creepy groaning noise as they approached), the green tank robots from the second area that showed up in a very freaky level atmosphere imo (insane factory that had children’s aesthetics all over the place?), the giant divers from the third area (and subsequently the entire ghost ship segment), the lobster boss from the third area, and the entire final area and the reveal at the end that it was a real monster the whole time. In Spooky Swamp the enemies weren’t that scary but the game itself was. Instead of sectioned levels, it was basically open world, but there were NO NPCs besides the plot necessary ones, so any building you went into was empty and almost always silent. Partnered with the fact there was a ghost mechanic, and the ghosts would show up in the empty buildings, it unnerved little kid me quite a lot, looking back on it now, both games have areas that are old and empty that feel so liminal. I vividly remember the abandoned ski shop building in the snowy area of Spooky Swamp, and how it had only a few spiders, a ghost, and silence. Even though you had a COM second player (or a sibling or friend if you were lucky) you still felt so alone.
If I remember properly the MK9 jumpscare was telegraphed by running footstep sound effects. I was 11 was MK9 was new and heard about the jumpscare from a RUclips video about it. Was too scared to ever use the krypt because of it but my brother didn’t care even when I warned him. Vividly remember him going into the crypt, we heard the footsteps and INSTANTLY flinched before shutting the game off. Reacted so fast we shut the game off before the scream.
When I saw the lighting glitch in the thumbnail I thought the game was referencing the ps2 game Toro to Kyuujitsu, where if you go to the location in front of a building complex at a certain time of day you can see what appears to be a giant face in one of the second floor windows.
So I don't know how, but I found your channel and sort of binged all of you're videos on this area. I have been trying to think of anything that I know that would fit the theme. I got a few but they are all sort of a stretch. Vampire: The Masquerade. this is based off of a dnd style game but turned into a video game. most of it is living the fantasy of being a super cool vampire (you can even go into clubs and dance and everyone will sort of get around you to dance too because you're soo cool). Anyway one of the first big missions you get is sort of spooky. Where you need to get a locket from an abandon house. turns out it's haunted and some thing will just toss random stuff at you. doors will open and close, a toy bike will just roll out in front of you and stuff. The big part is there are notes about the house and the murders. at one point you need to go into the laundry room and there is a note that said "in the investigation the police found a victims head in the dryer" and you can search the dryer in the game. there isn't a head but a key that you need to get through the house. searching that dryer was super hard for me as I was spooked at this point. keeping with vampires. in the game Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver you are a vampire that was killed and resurrected as a wrath. time has moved very far into the future and the world is over ran with vampires. many that have been a vampire for so long that they are more like monster than human. some have long tubs that will latch onto people to suck their blood. others their face will split open to reveal a second mouth. but what got me was in the spectral realm. where were these monsters named Sluagh. They had thin arms a face full of teeth and they feed on lost souls. it was said that the souls eaten by Sluagh are lost forever. could you imagine dying and becoming a soul and before you fully got an idea of what had happen or even gotten over your own death to look around and you're completely surrounded by these things. I generally have a fear of some big fish coming to eat me, and I know I got this from games as it's in so many games. Some that I can recall is in Rune Viking Warlord, Mario 3, Subnautica, Commander Keen 4, Ratchet and Clank 1, Jak and Daxter, and Earth Worm Jim. I don't recall much about Rune. when I rented it I got to a part with a big fish and I just stopped playing. Commander Keen 4 although is silly, but at the time I was very young and that big fish really scared me and the one in Earth Worm Jim would bite Jim in half. instant kill. In Time Splitters 3 there is a haunted house level that is creepy but the one part that made me close the game for a bit was the skinned cows in the freezer that would come alive and attack you. They would moo at you, but they don't even have a head. Final Fantasy 7 is rated teen, but there are parts that were pretty spooky for their time. the Shinra building getting attacked and seeing the blood trails all over the place and the odd new monsters in the battles. then there is the Gi tomb. rivers of blood and spike traps and the wall with a face that would come alive and turned into a human face. spooky stuff. There might be a lot more in the game but they might have been too hidden for me. Last part I wanted to talk about was the ending to Doom 1 where it shows some bunnies around a closed hell portal but one got hit with a spike the shot out of the ground and impaled it. that dead bunny scared me good. I know Doom, Soul Reaver, Vampire: The Masquerade, Subnautica, are not family friendly games but these still got me.
The voice that shouts "get out!" in Donkey Kong 64 belongs to an enemy named Krosshair who is apparently a robot holding a cannon and flying with the help of a propeller. There is a certain picture likely depicting Krosshair. And apparently he also appears in a certain level in Donkey Kong Country 3 where he constantly shoots but isn't seen either.
Somewhat similar to the splashdown Easter egg, my favorite game growing up (and to this day) is Jak and Daxter: The Precursor's Legacy. If you swim too far out there's a shark that finds you and eats your ass 💀 Always gave me mad anxiety whenever I had to go in the water lmao

Someone on Reddit exploited the hostile dolls from Stardew to max out their combat skill in a single day. There's no limit to how many times you can have kids to turn into doves, so they had an absolute ton of kids, turned them all into doves, then killed the horde of angry dolls to hit level 10 combat.
That reads like a clickbait title. "I USED DOZENS OF MAGICAL ABORTIONS TO BECOME A MASTER SWORDSMAN!?!?"

You know whats the scariest part or Payday 2? A fucking Cloaker crawling out of the sewer while screaming like an alarm siren, spriting at you at mach 10 and kickflipping over a fucking Toyota to beat the shit out of you. I take Chuthulu any day over those discount Sam Fisher psychos

ill never forget while playing splatoon 2, just as the round ended, a telephone ringing sound played from somewhere in the map. i never heard it ever again and its haunted me since.
Was that inkblot art academy during a splatfest? I thought that sound effect only played during recon! If you stick around you hear the same talking sound effects from the squid beacon.
Commander Tartar confirmed
TARTAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!!!
Hey Gambado, not sure if you talked about this already but there is another easter egg in Splatoon that terrified me as a child (and still does tbh).
In the boss rooms, there is a small area before you actually fight the boss where there is no music, just silence.
But if you wait and listen closely enough, you can hear screams of absolute terror in the distance.
As a kid, I remember standing still before a boss fight because my sister was talking to me, when I suddenly heard those screams.
I got to scared that I actually had tears in my eyes and the fact that is was never really explained always left me with a sense of dread when I entered the boss rooms after that.
I think the "screams" are actually supposed to be the metal walls of the underground domes that the Octarians live in creaking from being so old and worn out. It sounds more like being inside an old ship than human-ish screams to me.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Honestly, regardless of what the sounds actually are, they sound terrifying af and really scared me as a kid.
isn't that the octarians screaming as all their (stolen) power sources are taken and their structures (most of which are floating) fall and presumably kill millions?
I've skipped the dlc packs but apparently it's addressed in Octo Expansion which takes place in a subway station, hence the screeching metal, while the screams were the sounds of Octolings getting labotomized by an evil robot in a phone using giant blender... yes that is actually a part of the DLC story.
That being said, you can still hear the sounds in the sewer map of Splatoon 3 so I guess its not full gone
The place where octo expansion takes place isn't near the octo canyon but rather inkopolis, so the screams are definitely not from sanitized octolings@@DarkGekkouga
As someone who never played Stardew Valley I find the whole getting rid of your kids with magic mechanic creepy.
Definitively not something I'd expect from a game everyone describes as comfy.
Lmao this game has so many weird secrets
this game can be very dark
at least 2 people there are high alcoholics
the same as you can marry, you can divorce, which makes then forever depressed when you talk to them, and you can do this to all possible partners so i can have half the village sad to see you
The lighting glitch is a lot creepier than the intentional ghost, and the fact that it's accidental/coincidental is creepier too, because one can have fun imagining that a supernatural entity is using code to some random game to reach out in some little creepy way
Yeah i think the lighting glitch is creepier
I still think hearing Haltmann's screams of pain in Kirby Planet Robobot is disturbing, you also won't experience this unless you play the True Arena. It's basically implied that he's being deleted by the machine Star Dream after he was taken over by it. There's also some text boxes on the pause screens that give a bit more info on what happened to him. Kind of a tragic character really.
Sorry if I'm overly persistent with this, I don't know too many creepy easter eggs besides that.
Kirby games in general often have terrifying hidden content. I don't know if the Haltmann stuff is really an Easter egg, but not every single thing in these videos counts anyway.
I think I'd also like to add, I personally consider Kirby a Cosmic Horror franchise at this point.

Funniest thing about the PayDay 2 one is that it's technically canon to the actual lore of the game. Like by that point in the story those giants have been mentioned multiple times and are tied to the main story. Many people don't know this but PayDay's lore just gets INSANE at some point and just has full on supernatural elements, it's pretty cool (and weird)
Its a shame we didnt get to experience the original story. It would be even more insane
The capital Day in payday is killing me
But yeah the lore is wild but super interesting
1:38 That might actually be a reference to the greek legend of perdix, a child whom daedalus pushed off of a roof to his death and a god saved by turning him into a bird.
The window ghost in Splatoon 3 is pretty unnerving, especially since now its for real and actually resembles an Inkling.
Though, I can kinda laugh at it, since it kinda looks like the ghost of an Inkling is still watching the Turf Wars. Even death won't stop this one Inkling from being a fan.
Aight, so I've got a couple ideas for entries in a future video.
1. Pink Panther Passport to Peril. The last day in Camp ChillyWawa. There's a lot of creepy imagery, sounds, and damn, the MUSIC in particular is nightmare fuel straight out of Silent Hill.
2. The Museum of Anything Goes. A very trippy game that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but gets suddenly dark when you accidentally make someone fall from the sky and have to host a funeral for them. Whatever you do, don't tap on their coffin or you'll be sorry.
i saw that on Vine sauce, thank goodness it wasn’t censored.
The Krypt Jumpscare in MK9 has since made me too scared to even DARE go to the ones in the other games
Mkx krypt has random jumps area by spiders in the spider cave and a wolf jumpscare, where you have to press a button to kill them for both. Mk11 has no jumpscares but you can see spiders run at you, which you can kill but you have to be fast otherwise they will spit fire and kill you
14:07 nvm, I was wrong, I haven’t played mk11 in awhile and I never use the kenshi blindfold so I completely forgot this happens
@@Tabi-Kun Both of those didn't permanently scare me off from the feature if they're in previous games
@@glowdonk I see
When I was a kid playing Sims 1 I didn’t know that the prank calls were supposed to just be nothing meaningful, and the mask image scared me + it made a sound effect that scared me at the time too, so when I got “think twice about opening the door” I was scared shitless for my sim for a good while.
Scariest thing in Splatoon is actually E-Liter mains.
E liter? More like D liter
Heres a suggestion.
In the original Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, in the map Zomboss Estates if you look into the woods you could see slenderman standing there, eventually an update came out and he was eaten by a chomper. However the idea of slenderman watching the battle is unnerving

The Formidable Oak and Plasm Wraith from Pikmin 3 is still probably the closest the series has gotten to being a horror game. The eerie music, lack of enemies and the ones that spawn are created by the wraith, and the logs of Olimar describing how every time he tries to escape it actives his spacesuits sleep mode. All of that genuinely creeped me out when I was younger.
I disagree, the closest to horror Pikmin has gone to, is the submerged castle from Pikmin 2
The prank calls were some of the scariest shit to young me when I was new to them, especially since I would play the game at night at times.
Eventually I realized the icon used for them is the same for the more weirder/jokey ones, and since very seldom anything happened afterward, started to realize they were jokes.
I was a nintendo child, so all of the experiences I have are mostly linked to. That being said, the Robots game for the GBA scared me. Madame Gasket scared me. She had a really creepy song that placed during her boss fight, and she laughed at you and toued with you for the whole fight. The other horrific experience from my childhood was the falls in the Madagascar GBA game. You were stalked by oversized arachnids. That is also the origin of my arachniphobia.
the giant in shackelthorn action in payday 2 is a nephiilm as they are a part of payday's secret ending you can see more nephilim in the diamond heist as there are mummified remains of one and you can see a picture of one towering over the white house foreshadowing the secret ending
It's a good thing I stayed up. This is exactly what I needed while the sun has yet to come up
Here's a suggestion:
Majora's Mask (I know) has a song that Link can play called the Elegy of Emptiness. The statue it summons is so creepy, multiple creepypastas were written about it INCLUDING BEN Drowned, which is where I assume you first heard of the Song of Unhealing.
As a kid I was also scared shitless and always has to ask my siblings to complete those puzzles for me...
I remember being freaked out by the fight with Marx in Kirby Superstar Ultra for the DS. The way he sprouts bat wings and gets fangs was already unnerving, but when you defeat him his jaw unhinges, he's cut in half (no blood of course, but still), and it gives the most awful scream I had ever heard at the time.
Also, I'm not sure how creepy this one is since I think it's actually really cool, but I know you can encounter the headless horseman in Skyrim. He has a very specific route, but I imagine that I would be terrified if I encountered him randomly. The Fallout Series also has a TON of H.P. Lovecraft inspired easter eggs, although at this point they've weaved themselves into their own plotline.
Love the video!
Also, in splatoon 1 in a boss area of campaign you can hear extremely creepy noises which after finding the lore in splatoon 3, it was apperantly the sounds of the last humans getting crushed by a volcano caving in
8:32 i laughed when i saw the illustration for this book, making it seem like it's gonna be some kinda rom-com just by the art alone 😂
I have a few scary things in non scary and or kid games
Scooby-Doo and the Spooky Swamp: Since it's Scooby doo it's kinda supposed to be "scary" a little, but it's for kids and these few things scared me when I was a kid.
1: Anytime "Lila's Theme" played, it plays whenever the character Lila is in the scene or mentioned most of the time, it makes me kind of scared but in a disturbed sad way??
2: El Scaryachi, the first boss of the game, mostly when he plays his creepy harmonica tunes and the creepy soundtrack that plays when you make your way up to the place that activated his chase sequence.
3: On the level where El Scaryachi is, there's the pinata enemies that grossed and creepy me out as a kid. They act like Minecraft creepers in the sense of don't go near them too long or they blow up, but they just make weird ass noises and start vibrating before they blow up. I remember avoiding going near them whenever they were nearby they just freaked me out.
4: The Giant Yeti boss bigfoot like sightings you get in the snow area, you get glimpses of its shadow in the blizzard before going out of sight. Also just seeing remnants of its presence (the footprints at the lodge and broken gates) is creepy.
The Simpsons Game: Not at all a scary game but some points creeped child me out.
1: The video game slaves, seeing Mario and Sonic (Sonic especially stuck with me) being forced to work gave me the creeps. It somehow gave kid me the same vibes of the cyborg Mickey mouse characters from Epic Mickey for some reason? Looking at the gameplay of the Simpsons Game idk why kid me thought that.
2: Sherri and Terri The Shining Easter Egg(?): I cannot find any clips of this but I remember in the vide game level where you play multiple video game parodies, if you go to one of the golden elevator doors it opens up to show the twins Sherri and Terri. I believe it does this exclusively to Lisa cuz I remember both saying "Come play with us Lisa" both me and my younger sister were kinda freaked out at that.
UPDATE ON SHINING EASTER EGG: with some help I found the Easter egg does exist and is listed on the wiki. I am just baffled I haven't seen it on video before
''i wouldn't wanna be forcefuly bred by a fish'' this implies you'd be a-okay with being bred otherwise
You're in a N64 Zelda mood, aren't you? I recognise those songs in the background!! 😁
Gotta admit, the song of unhealing at the end threw me off guard 😂
You have to put Mickey Mouse's Magical Mirror in this video. It scared the hell out of me in my childhood. You can see someone hanging from the ceiling with a chair underneath. It even has jump scares! Had so many nightmares.
The fun part about the Payday 2 easter egg is that it's actually directly tied to the game's overarching story and the same reference is also made either in the White House heist or promo/foreshadowing material for said heist, showing the Nephilim observing the 1814 burning of the White House.
Gambado there is a weird sorta out of place easter egg in destiny two. From what i can tell it triggers only when wearing the reverie dawn armor set. Some times you can hear a whisper sayin "i know what you did"
Hell yeah, just the excuse I needed to not do dishes yet. Thanks gambado lmao
You dont listen to youtube while doing dishes? This is how i power through the chores i hate...
@shrimpyalfredo3933 I do with some stuff, but this is one of the few kinds of videos I actually wanna watch, I wanna see Gambado's eggs, not just hear about em.
@@damiencouturee6240 fair enough!
in skate 3 there is an easter egg in the after dark dlc area you will hear screams when you go close to the asylum doors. You do have to turn the music down to hear it but its pretty freaky for a skateboarding game.
Hey there, might be some creepy easter eggs in Fallout Three. That was one of my favorite games when I was younger, and I recall some moments that were unsettling to say the least. Great video man, keep it up!
The figure in the sky for the Payday 2 easter egg is in fact a Nephilim as they're featured in payday's deeper lore rabbit hole. Even a sled dog driver who had his heart torn out by the Nephilim. The existence of these in Payday's lore is tied to the Dentist character.
"The player isn't typically on edge" with the Splatoon footage in the back round
An example of a game where you are on edge
Always a big fan of your easter egg and iceberg videos, also looking forward to your more general gaming videos because you always seem to have fun making them.
I remember in Tomodachi Collection two scary things and this is news.First if you didnt save the game and exit the next time you open the game You gonna have Breaking news which say you need to save the game after leaving.The 2nd news introducing the ghost which looks like your mii in appartment the ghost looks very creepy and scary.
I mentioned this in one of the other vids, but in Elebits on the Wii, when you go to the amusement park level, there are statues all over the place of a pink rabbit mascot with what appears to be blood all over it's face. It's actually a direct reference to the character Robbie the Rabbit from Silent Hill, which some of the developers of Elebits worked on. The in game description for the statue says it's "ketchup" and not blood, but 10 year old me was not buying that shit and I'd pick the little fucker up and fling him halfway across the map
The payday 2 easter egg we know isnt Cthulu in the distance but something called the Nephillim you can also see it in a picture on a few other heists and has some vague background lore
ERROR.
That MK9 kept jumpscare as a kid was absolutely horrifying
I remember going to a friend’s place and we entered the krypt all mesmerized about how advanced it seemed at the time then the jumpscare happened and we didn’t play krypt for a week
The splashdown kraken reminds me of the sea monster from Spore. That shit terrified as a kid to the point where I never went anywhere near the water in the creature stage
The scornet maestro from pikmin 3. The boss figth itself didn’t scare me as a kid but the death cutscene did. As the creature screeches in agony only to accidentally dislocate its own jaw and fall to the ground.
Splatoon ghost face being created through a lighting glitch is actually genius. Any texture file is going to probably go through review these days to avoid whoopsies legal problems. Or it gets datamined on day one. There’s probably career penalties for having undocumented things these days.
But a lighting glitch is amazing plausible deniability and you can’t just datahoor that out. Datamining has ruined so much. I’m glad something happened to have a similar effect in an undetectable way.
the cloud monster in payday 2 is also featured in a few of the game's paintings, notably one where its standing on top of the white house
Just wanted to offer a pedantic correction! In the MK11 segment, you misunderstood what players of the game meant with "equip Kenshi's blindfold". The guy you play as in the Krypt is not Kenshi. He's a generic unnamed warrior. The Krypt mode in MK11 takes place in the dessicated ruins of Shang-Tsung's island. Over the years, the various baddies that resided there collected keepsakes of various characters, one of them being Kenshi, a blind swordsman that uses psychic powers bestowed by his ancestral blade.
So not really an Easteregg, more like another game over screen. Its from Tekken tag tournament 2, against Ogre. If you ko against him and don't press continue in time, he will proceeds to eat you which is grim at least.
A creepy easter I'd lov eto see covered comes from the game project sekai: colorful stage feat. Hatsune Miku.
Basically in the 2D music video for the song "ghost girl" (Shoujo Rei) the ending sees three main characters standing on a railway, the gate slowly closing. Then, after that, you see the shadow of the train speeding by and some ghostly visuals as the screen fades to black.
when i was a kid there was this built in battle royal mode on my xbox 360 that definitely unsettled me as a kid. No one ever joined so it was just super empty, except for this one time when someone joined but they left after a little bit.
also in fable two, some of the areas got very quiet and i could here a high piched voice talking and i was super weird. idk if i was because i had low honor or what but it was strange for sure. You should look into these for sure!
Firewatch is a game that seems pretty tame at first you're ina forest talking with until halfway through you find out you've been getting stalked in the forest by the last guy on firewatch duty who presumably killed his son
The jumpscare in MK9 gives me "Toasty" vibes from the early MK games, with how they slide into view from the bottom, do their noise, then slide back down
Not sure if you talked about the creepy hands in the River Twygs from Super Paper Mario. The audio is reversed, but I don't remember what was said. It was cries for help, if I recall.
Lets goooo 8am Gambado.
Your sim can get prank called in the Sims 3. There's no pop up. When your sim answers the phone they react negatively and hang up on the call.
The "Goblin dude" from MK9 is actually a Goblin gal. if you look at the bottom of the picture, you can see the base of breasts. This is because they edited Melina's model to make this thing (presumably because she already had a monstrous appearance).
11:50 First time I saw that weak Green Goblin ripoff made me scream and I put my controller through the tv. No joke
Surprised there haven't been more memes with the MK9 goblin guy holding random stuff.
Like he's popping up out of nowhere to say something like, "YOU WANT ME TO POUR YOU SOME MOUNTAIN DEW??"
8:50 Payday 2's lore is hyper complex, but nephilim and stuff are canon to the series, same with god-like beings like the dentist (a contractor in the second installment).
Sees mortal kombat 😮 SEES KRYPT JUMPSCARE 💀 11:18
2 jumpscares that really made my pants make a zebra jealous were "quantum conundrum"s "do a thing" from the ps3 and "lego marvel superheroes"s venom's jumpscare on a building (dont remember wich level it was nor the building's name)
Did not get me personally, but funnily enough my cousin was always deeply unsettled by Twilight Town from Paper Mario: TTYD due to the eerie, depressing atmosphere being such an abrupt change from the rest of the game. Something that DID get me was the Game Over "Return of Ganon" screen from Zelda II, made me not want to play it as a child.
I'd say the second ghost face is better mainly because all I see in the first is Shrek's face.
This one may count as a horror gsme bur i think a specific moment from subnautica below zero counts. The snowstalker jumpscare when entring the base of yhis one girl of the degasi crew. The game has a few jumpscare moments but this one made me scream the loudest
Splatoon scary lore iceberg goes deep, in octo expansion you can hear the screams of octolings being in a blender
I actually played Splashdown and encoutered the kraken as a kid. I loved just driving around with the Jetski so I just drove wherever, doing laps around the islands, just being a goofball. I loved playing games outside their intended play area. When my grandpa got me Trackmania Nations Forever I even went into the build mode just so I could drive around the Stadium.
when you mentioned the things when you stay idle for too long, in ultra custom night, one scared the bananas out of me. the audio was "goodnight" either by moon or nightmare BB
Yeah, the first two Sims games were probably the creepiest! I used to play the Sims 2 with my sister, and when the burglar music started, I'd always get really scared. I've also heard the burglar music from the first Sims game, and it made me feel like shitting myself. They're both kinda "Hide away and call the police, you might not make it out."
the one on splatoon 3 look like alpaca wearing black sunglasses
9:19 The sausage
20:29 he just casually flipped off John lol
Shin megami tensei IV isn't scary however the starting sound when you enter a terminal in that game freaked me out at first when I heard of it of a woman speaking in another language, it's in the ost of that place also
Slenderman in plants vs zombies garden warfare
That mk9 jump scare did irreversible damage to my psyche
Another day at work made better by a gambado gaming video being released
14:05 THAT'S LITERALLY ONE OF THE SOUND EFFECTS FOR THE WITHER
Got a handful for you! A quick one would be the final boss of Viewpoint, a neogeo arcade shoot'em'up where you're blasting various alien robots, until the end.
Another is the version exclusive level in Earthworm Jim, an unapologetically juvenile platformer probably most known for its snes speedruns, but the genesis (& CD) had an extra level called 'intestinal distress', lets just say the music and sound effects match the artwork for this one.
A time sink one would be the hidden bosses in LiveALive, a rare anthology rpg about various people around the world saving their towns from evil, near the end of the game there's roughly a dozen secret bosses littering the land, thing is two of them aren't ones you find but rather hunt you down for trying to escape.
Another time consuming one is from Epic Battle Fantasy 5, a classical exploration rpg with a ragtag crew getting into things way over their heads, there's a few unsettling moments in this one one but I'm going to pick the 'temple of trials', the area is a gauntlet of fighting twisted doppelgangers which break the rules of combat.
A fairly obvious one would be 'the ruined future' from BioShock Infinite, an alternate history fps about dealing with unforeseen consequences, late in the game you get sent into the future where you failed to save the day and get to witness some of the dystopian world first hand.
Lastly I'll add 'the end' from Antichamber, an abstract puzzler like Portal but with a more philosophical tone and minimalist artstyle, you spend the entire game alone with only disconnected ambiance, but realizing you're not alone isn't what's weird, it's the change of scenery.
I remember the game over audio from time splitters 2.
"Is that too loud...?"
Hey I got a cool suggestion for the next video, so there’s this creepy ass level in one of my favorite video games or used to be one of my favorites in this game called Pixel Gun 3d and it’s called the School and there’s several ares that are terrifying and scared me as a kid, one of one room where everything is bloody and upside down and you can hear children laughing and there’s another room that’s giant with upside down dead kids hanging from cages with was scary to me when I was little This game is a mobile game btw so idk if this counts. It’s a multiplayer shooter Minecraft style game. Only hardcore pg3d fans know about this campaign level. It’s in world 1 and it’s the last level. Hope this entry gets in the next video!!
In Splatoon 3, there's actually a few new horrific easter eggs in the maps, but here's the most notable:
- When "1 Minute Left!" appears in a Splatfest Battle at night in U'Mami Ruins, a statue on the Alpha Team's side becomes possessed with green light (a reference to a few ACNH items, and those are scary enough on their own) and floats around for a few seconds. It's very subtle, but it still makes my skin crawl.
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, watching a TV broadcast at 3:33 AM on a Saturday displays an alien broadcast with a mostly unintelligible language. It begins with what sounds with "Greetings" and in the middle says "Stop Trying to Resist". Furthermore, there is a recipe for a D.I.Y. UFO you can obtain from Celeste (she comes during star showers), which is a reference to the Wild World UFOs, but when you walk up to it, an alien identical to the one on the broadcast shoots out of it before ascending back inside. It's strange and uncomfortable for a game like ACNH. But the Tarantulas and Scorpions are scary enough on their own for a 7+ game...
Amazing video!
There's a creepy Easter egg in Cuphead where if you get the bad ending, going to the menu and type in the konami code it'll start to play a distorted version of the menu theme.
the barracuda death game over from the Shark Tales PC version game?
the payday 2 shadow creature is probably a lovecraft reference, but it actually does show up in other places in the story. Apparently its like an omen of death or something, I forgot, but I think it has to do something with the diamond and the current owner of it.
I love these types of videos, such a good vibe
I prefer the Splatoon 3 ghost... It looks more like a ghost than the original, which looks like it's on crack.
Gambado Gaming never disappoints
For splatoon it makes sense after a whole species dies it would make sense some would still be roaming around
Another easter egg in Outlaws, though not necessarily creepy, is you can find Max from the Sam and Max series inside a hidden room in a cliffside, where he's wearing a cowboy hat and shooting at you if I remember right. Personally, when I first discovered it as a kid I found it pretty unnerving as I had never heard of the Sam and Max games prior to playing Outlaws so suddenly seeing a cartoon rabbit shooting me in a game with otherwise somewhat realistic-looking enemies definitely caught me off guard. I think this easter egg is in one of the levels from the Handful of Missions expansion, but I might be misremembering.
NO WAY I REMEMBER SPLASH DOWN!! it teached me how to drift before i played mario cart this is so awesome.
*mk9* let me spend coins *the rake jumps out and screams* no thanks *ill keep my koins*
Here are mines. Hopefully they will make it into a future video:
-Finding Nemo PC Game.
As a kid back when Finding Nemo was a thing,there was a PC game to tie in with the movie. I ended up having it and I was more of a scaredy cat back then,so I always get my cousin with me to play it because I felt safer. You had two directions,one being Marlin's side and the other being Nemo's. So what scared me was those giant rock statues with their face on them,staring directly at you in the front. And just there in the water in the aquarium is just.. Unsettling. I don't know if this is just me. One minigame that I remember during this was the one where you have to put the pebbles onto that huge thing and you have to guide Nemo through before he gets turn into shred. I think this is after you collect the ''totems'',which are earned after talking with the other fishes in the aquarium after talking to Gill. If you choose Marlin's side,you'll get that scene where Nemo gets kidnapped by the scuba divers. Yes,the game gives you clips from the movie,and that one scene in general traumatized me for years and it still do. The fact you get jumpscared in front of you real close by the scuba diver that kidnaps Nemo and the music that plays during this calls in for a panic. The mask slowly falling down into the water makes it worst if you're scared of the ocean. The music that plays when Marlin and Dory meets the sharks is unsettling too,and it does not help when Bruce chases you afterwards.
-The Jumpstart PC Game Haunted Island
This was like one of those pre-school PC games from back in late 90's to early 2000's. The Halloween version of Jumpstart was that the school was some kind of a haunted house and the teacher was a witch,who kidnaps and transform kids into monsters,and it's up to the player to find them while solving problems within minigames. You are guided by a bat named Flap. This was traumatizing. Ms. Grunkle is sometimes referred to as "Mrs. Grunkle" in brief portions of the game and in promotional material,prompting some to speculate if she had a husband and what might've become of him. In her living room is a skeleton who sits around watching the television while holding a remote,which some fans have speculated may have been her husband at one point. It was later replaced by JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Sapphire Falls in 1999,due to it getting negative reviews about it being too dark and scary for kids.
-The Dog Island game from Playstation 2
This is a game (Which is also made in Japan) where you play as a dog,who lives with his or her (depending on the gender you choose) mother Mar and his or her sibling Emilio/Maria (again depending on the gender you choose) in Puroro Town. Your sibling is sick with a disease that makes them unable to play outside and the father named Doluk had already traveled in search of a cure,but he never came back home. The player then decided to take matters in their own hands (or paws if you say because get it,it's a dog) by sailing with a crew to The Dog island to meet with doctor Potan. The ship is caught in a storm and you ends up separated from the others. The player is rescued by a resident named Amelia. There was a part in the game where you're out in the nature at night and that's when things gets creepy. Hidden deep inside the Kunka Ruins is the Ancient Monster that you will have to defeat in order to save the world. It takes the form of a T-Rex skeleton,and is angry about being sealed away,presumably by your father. I don't remember much because of trauma,but yeah..
-Pokemon XY
I found something in the Pokemon XY game,and it's that one part where you have to enter a very strange house,and there was thing old guy telling a creepy story about some kind of ghost or a monster with many hands and watching the player.
The Kraken from Splash Down probably started my fear of sea creatures since I played the game when I was like 4 years old
there's another "easter egg" in stardew with the haunted mannequins. they'll teleport around your house and violently shake sometimes. I've also heard that they can swap outfits with you but I've never experienced that for myself
Not really an Easter Egg but the King Boo jumpscares in Luigis Mansion Dark Moon is something I didn't know existed and the one where he shows up behind Luigi almost got me at first.
I said this on the last video, but I’ll say it again just in case someone else shares in my experience-
Back when I was first getting into gaming I got 2 games for the Wii, “Scooby-Doo First Frights” and “Scooby-Doo and the Spooky Swamp”. First Frights had sectioned level areas and wider enemy variety. Some highlights that freaked me out as a kid were: the headless guy from the first area, the clowns from the second area, the sewer dolls from the second area (specifically when they made this really creepy groaning noise as they approached), the green tank robots from the second area that showed up in a very freaky level atmosphere imo (insane factory that had children’s aesthetics all over the place?), the giant divers from the third area (and subsequently the entire ghost ship segment), the lobster boss from the third area, and the entire final area and the reveal at the end that it was a real monster the whole time.
In Spooky Swamp the enemies weren’t that scary but the game itself was. Instead of sectioned levels, it was basically open world, but there were NO NPCs besides the plot necessary ones, so any building you went into was empty and almost always silent. Partnered with the fact there was a ghost mechanic, and the ghosts would show up in the empty buildings, it unnerved little kid me quite a lot, looking back on it now, both games have areas that are old and empty that feel so liminal. I vividly remember the abandoned ski shop building in the snowy area of Spooky Swamp, and how it had only a few spiders, a ghost, and silence. Even though you had a COM second player (or a sibling or friend if you were lucky) you still felt so alone.
If I remember properly the MK9 jumpscare was telegraphed by running footstep sound effects. I was 11 was MK9 was new and heard about the jumpscare from a RUclips video about it. Was too scared to ever use the krypt because of it but my brother didn’t care even when I warned him. Vividly remember him going into the crypt, we heard the footsteps and INSTANTLY flinched before shutting the game off. Reacted so fast we shut the game off before the scream.
When I saw the lighting glitch in the thumbnail I thought the game was referencing the ps2 game Toro to Kyuujitsu, where if you go to the location in front of a building complex at a certain time of day you can see what appears to be a giant face in one of the second floor windows.
So I don't know how, but I found your channel and sort of binged all of you're videos on this area. I have been trying to think of anything that I know that would fit the theme. I got a few but they are all sort of a stretch.
Vampire: The Masquerade. this is based off of a dnd style game but turned into a video game. most of it is living the fantasy of being a super cool vampire (you can even go into clubs and dance and everyone will sort of get around you to dance too because you're soo cool). Anyway one of the first big missions you get is sort of spooky. Where you need to get a locket from an abandon house. turns out it's haunted and some thing will just toss random stuff at you. doors will open and close, a toy bike will just roll out in front of you and stuff. The big part is there are notes about the house and the murders. at one point you need to go into the laundry room and there is a note that said "in the investigation the police found a victims head in the dryer" and you can search the dryer in the game. there isn't a head but a key that you need to get through the house. searching that dryer was super hard for me as I was spooked at this point.
keeping with vampires. in the game Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver you are a vampire that was killed and resurrected as a wrath. time has moved very far into the future and the world is over ran with vampires. many that have been a vampire for so long that they are more like monster than human. some have long tubs that will latch onto people to suck their blood. others their face will split open to reveal a second mouth. but what got me was in the spectral realm. where were these monsters named Sluagh. They had thin arms a face full of teeth and they feed on lost souls. it was said that the souls eaten by Sluagh are lost forever. could you imagine dying and becoming a soul and before you fully got an idea of what had happen or even gotten over your own death to look around and you're completely surrounded by these things.
I generally have a fear of some big fish coming to eat me, and I know I got this from games as it's in so many games. Some that I can recall is in Rune Viking Warlord, Mario 3, Subnautica, Commander Keen 4, Ratchet and Clank 1, Jak and Daxter, and Earth Worm Jim. I don't recall much about Rune. when I rented it I got to a part with a big fish and I just stopped playing. Commander Keen 4 although is silly, but at the time I was very young and that big fish really scared me and the one in Earth Worm Jim would bite Jim in half. instant kill.
In Time Splitters 3 there is a haunted house level that is creepy but the one part that made me close the game for a bit was the skinned cows in the freezer that would come alive and attack you. They would moo at you, but they don't even have a head.
Final Fantasy 7 is rated teen, but there are parts that were pretty spooky for their time. the Shinra building getting attacked and seeing the blood trails all over the place and the odd new monsters in the battles. then there is the Gi tomb. rivers of blood and spike traps and the wall with a face that would come alive and turned into a human face. spooky stuff. There might be a lot more in the game but they might have been too hidden for me.
Last part I wanted to talk about was the ending to Doom 1 where it shows some bunnies around a closed hell portal but one got hit with a spike the shot out of the ground and impaled it. that dead bunny scared me good.
I know Doom, Soul Reaver, Vampire: The Masquerade, Subnautica, are not family friendly games but these still got me.
I cannot help you with that. Your profile picture may be inappropiate.
The voice that shouts "get out!" in Donkey Kong 64 belongs to an enemy named Krosshair who is apparently a robot holding a cannon and flying with the help of a propeller. There is a certain picture likely depicting Krosshair. And apparently he also appears in a certain level in Donkey Kong Country 3 where he constantly shoots but isn't seen either.
Somewhat similar to the splashdown Easter egg, my favorite game growing up (and to this day) is Jak and Daxter: The Precursor's Legacy. If you swim too far out there's a shark that finds you and eats your ass 💀 Always gave me mad anxiety whenever I had to go in the water lmao
