- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 contains data for a cut level called “Genocide City”
- Obscure Wolfenstein clone Corridor 7 randomly jumpscares the player with a red demon face during regular gameplay
- Dog Island, a Wii game in which all the characters are adorable chibi dogs, has a subplot about a doctor whose botched treatment caused the death of someone he loved many years ago. He still sees her in his dreams, unable to let go or move on.
Pokemon has some fucked up pokemon lore, like a teapot pokemon that absorbs children’s souls or something?
A lot of the ghosts have fucked up lore: Haunter spirits sad people away, Duskull spirits misbehaving children away, Driftloon grabs children and drags them to the afterlife, Gengar likes to hunt and kill people to create more ghosts, Yamask carries their death mask and cry when they see it, Phantump is a lost child that died in the woods, etc. etc.
Cubone wears its dead mother’s skull as a mask
Don’t forget Palossand or however you spell its name, which does the unthinkable and also eats children’s souls, but as a pile of sand this time.
Sinistea just steals the souls of whoever drinks it. Your probably confusing it with something like Drifloon who just straight up kidnaps children.
Yeah that makes sense.
