Sometimes we find something in a video game that makes you think.. Uh, no. We're - we’re done here. [Xbox hits pavement] In the spirit of Halloween, today we’re diving into the top 8 creepiest, most hauntingly bizarre discoveries ever found in a video game… Brought to you by Dashlane. The Witcher 3. Thanks to my friend, Jahmis, on my discord server, for sparking off this still unraveling mystery in the Witcher 3, which began when she was playing the quest Tower of Mice and suddenly she heard this creepy disembodied voice. [loud female gasp] [loud female groan] After searching the tower for some time without finding any clues, Jahmis and I just chalked it up as being nothing more than a strange one-off occurrence. However, only a month later, the mystery opened even further, when another member on my discord server, LucidAvidity, posted that in if they stood in this exact spot in the same tower, this mysterious figure could seen for a spilt second in the distance… Now this is where things get really weird. I asked my good friend Robert to investigate this one with me... and to both of our surprise, Robert was indeed able to recreate the ominous figure in the distance, which would instantly disappear the moment he tried to move closer. With some quick thinking and the Witcher 3’s Nvidia Ansel support, Robert was able increase the sharpness and get a better look using Ansel’s photo mode, but still couldn’t get a really clear picture. That's when Robert had the brilliant idea to place Geralt near the figure’s position with a torch and then use the depth of field to pull the camera back to trigger the figure and then zoom in for a closer look… To our absolute surprise, we found a fully modeled, impossibly tall, very bizarrely-textured female figure. I mean, just look at this thing’s face. I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole. Robert even managed to get a good look behind the strange creature, and... Damn! I mean... yeah, it's... really weird it'd be modeled like that. Everyone we've asked from here has been completely clueless about the monstrosity. Who or what is this thing supposed to be, and what purpose does it serve to The Witcher 3? At this point we can only assume there’s more to uncover in Tower of Mice for the curious player to willing explore…. Good luck to whoever dares… ..cause, uh, me and Robert were low-key [bleep]-ing ourselves the whole time we were looking into this. Steam. Earlier this year, YouNiqueUser posted on Reddit he walked away from Steam for a moment and when he came back, he could hear these hair-raisingly, nightmarish sounds emitting from the application… Somehow the Steam music player had opened - which.. who even knew it had one - and it was playing only these five random sound effects he never saw before. [creepy female laughter] In response on Reddit, it turned out a number of other Steamers had came forward saying they too had experienced strange audio emitting randomly from Steam, such as this YouTuber who opened up Steam and found himself getting a history lesson as he was played a long speech by Franklin D. Roosevelt. [inaudible old-time Franklin D. Roosevelt broadcast] Observant Redditors were able to determine that the audio were sound effects from Amensia: The Dark Descent Despite the fact that most of those who experienced the issue never even had Amensia installed! No one knows what exactly is triggering the Amensia sound effects - if its just a bug or user error - but if this is a some sort of trick by Valve to drive us crazy, haven’t you done enough with Half Life 3? [door slams] Army Men: Sarge's Heroes. From near the very inception of my Discord server, user Sizable Door made mention of a disturbing image in Army Men: Sarge's Heroes he found as a child that’s been bugging him for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, no body on the server was ever able to find it for him, until finally a couple of months ago, Sizable was able to finally find the unshakable image himself. How he managed to find this thing in the first place when he was only four-years-old, I’ll never know - but when he finally found the exact spot he crawled under as a child on the Scorch Mission… Oh God.. Ewwww… Ew, I can’t stand to look at this any longer, let's move on! NBA Jam. NBA Jam is a bit of a goldmine when it comes to ODD discoveries, having been featured on the channel before for its ODD battle tank mode, as well as having a ton of leftover content in its data that rejected by the NBA themselves... "He's [bleep]ing up!" ...even more of which surfaced in the leaked XXX internal development version of the game obtained and dumped by Nintendo Player in 2016. “Grab his Johnson!” ..and no, I'm not making that up! "No [bleep]-ing way!" However, NBA Jam’s most startling discovery is one that actually made it into the game with players reporting shortly after release, the game would start shouting the name “Petrovic” over and over at random, and Petrovic was actually an NBA player that had died in a car accident that same year! Expectedly, this was largely passed off as a HOAX… until an interview with developer Mark Turmell with EPSN confirmed that the creepy occurrence was real! “…one night we were playing Mortal Kombat and there was a Jam machine next to it, and all of a sudden the game started calling out 'Petrovic!' 'Petrovic!' And this only happened after Petrovic had died! Everyone started freaking out! Something weird was going on with the software... and to this day, if you have an original NBA Jam machine every once in a while it will just yell out 'Petrovic!'" While it goes without saying this was just a bug, why the error singled out Petrovic over any other player and was only noticed after Petrovic’s real life death, makes it freakishly coincidental… making it perhaps the most convincing example of an haunted arcade cabinet to ever exist… and for those of you that are saying what about the legendary Polyibus that notoriously killed players in the arcade... That's... not real. “Get that [bleep] out of here!” Carnevil. Midway’s most successful Arcade game - though many would guess is Mortal Kombat - was actually the standalone graphic light shooter 1998’s Carnevil. Released on Halloween of that year, players had to shoot through a haunted carnival, shooting down surreal and creepy enemies such as: conjoined twins... ...a literal spider monkey.... ...and a baby! A move the developers were so sure would court controversy, they included a switch on the arcade cabinet so arcade owners could swap the baby on the fly with a teddy bear if anybody complained. Strangely, no one cared. The most disturbing image in all of Carnevil actually comes in the form of an image mysteriously repeated over and over in the game data in lots of different sizes, which happens to be this deeply unsettling image of notorious serial killer Jeffery Dahmer holding a bloody bag with Midway Games CEO Neil Nicastro’s head! Hopefully this was just an inside joke amongst the team that Nicastro was aware of, but considering someone painstakingly exported the same image over and over in the game in lots of different sizes... I’d be constantly looking over my shoulder if I was Nicastro. Middle-earth: Shadow of War. In March of this year, IGN’s walkthrough editor, Brendan Graebar, decided to replay Middle-earth: Shadow of War after beating it a couple years ago for his walkthrough of the game. In Shadow of War, the player befriends an orc named Brûz, who you probably tell just from looking at him, is not going to be your friend for very long. "Bright lord, dark lord. Same thing really!" Once the tables turned, Brendan repeatedly shamed Brûz over and over, a mechanic that levels down your opponent, as well as wear the enemy’s psychological stability over time. Over time, Brûz retaliated as an relentlessly unstable, overpowered level-40 machine, but.. Brendan decided if he was going to stream the game for his friends, he should start a new save and completely wipe the game file along with Brûz in it. Just as Brendan was completing the initial training of his new game, Brendan’s heart dropped, as he was suddenly thrown into a encounter well before he was equipped or ready for a battle, when suddenly he saw the same exact level-40 Brûz from Brendan’s now deleted save game, somehow appearing now in his entirely new game, appearing hours before he even supposed to appear in the story, this time in a strange glitched-state where Brûz could only let out creepy growls instead having normal speaking voice. Brûz somehow defied deletion, and in a seemingly hellbent act of unbridled vengeance, was now after Brendan in a completely new game file! Eventually, Brendan escaped Brûz, checking his map to find Brûz was now somewhere out of bounds, meaning he was beginning to learn how to become smarter than the game itself! Eventually, Brendan came to the point in the game where Brûz actually appears in the story, and much to his relief the actual Brûz appeared and not the AI monstrosity reaping terror across the outer of reaches of Middle Earth. After recruiting Bruz to his team, all seemed back to normal again… until Brendan took a look at the remaining Orc Army… and saw the shadowy level 40 monstrosity still standing there, meaning the fella was still hiding somewhere on the map, waiting to strike Brendan when he was least expecting. Needless to say, it’s been a long time since Brendan’s touched the same save file since. [Growling] Camdrome. During PAX 2013, hidden in a corner of the Indie Megabooth, journalists and convention-goers noticed a random CRT monitor covered in blood that would occasionally display some truly disturbing imagery. The booth’s attendee Rami Ismael told journalists that he had no idea who set it up, that he was only paid to keep an eye on the all booths in the Indie Megabooth. Website 4 Player Network did some sleuthing and found a domain camdrome.com registered by Edmund McMillen, one of the creators of notoriously-difficult, indie-hit Super Meat Boy. Edmund denied working on the game stating, “[We] aren’t involved in making Camdrome… We know the dev who is making it and have been helping. We don’t know that much about the project other than … the booth setup.” Shortly after, someone claiming they were Camdrome’s creator sent Eurogamer a message with a code that’s still been unsolved to this day. Only a few months ago, Edmund was tweeted what he knew about the game and said: “Camdrome was boxed up and placed inside a wall years ago, it was recently rediscovered [sic] the film has been damaged by time. No idea what will come of it.” Whatever the hell that meant and what Camdrome actually is supposed to be… is still a mystery. Final Fantasy XIV. Thanks to Spooky Scary Radiance for submitting this mystery to me on my Discord server. 2013’s Final Fantasy XIV is the second massively-multiplayer installment in the series an unwaveringly well-received online experience still going strong with its recently-released Shadowbringers expansion. Well, that’s what Square Enix wants you to think, as 2013’s Final Fantasy XIV is actually a complete do over of 2011’s Final Fantasy XIV, a release that was such a notorious mess that Square shut the whole thing down and created a whole nother game to forget about the embarrassing mishap. And while that’s definitely proven to been the right decision, a number of mysteries were left unresolved on the game’s original server, that’s left players such as Speakers Network continuing to poke around in the original game. One such mystery was a hidden cave in Eorzea, hidden in a random spot in the mountains of Coerthas. In the original game, a non-player character could be found blocking the entrance saying: “I’ve been given specific orders to prohibit all access to the Fesse using all necessary force. If you value your life, unbeliever, I suggest you withdraw at once." Kind of extreme.. but especially disturbing when you consider that Fesse is actually the french word for asscheeks. With the use of third-party software and a private server of the original game, Speakers was able to perform a colonoscopy, and entered the Fesse which appeared to be nothing more than endless cavern that dissented further and further underground. The cavern twisted and turned with many branching paths and clearly unfinished areas, meaning it wasn't long before Speakers realized he was completely lost. Speakers decided to take a pause, when a chill was sent down his spine as he heard a second set of footsteps gradually nearing him from behind... [footsteps threading through water] ...which rightly prompted Speakers to get the [bleep] out of there. Franticly continuing further through the cavern, the footsteps continued to get faster and faster, until Speakers finally found a door unlike any other, hoping it was finally an escape out, until he reached the unfinished end of the abyss. Fortunately, no creature or anything of the sort ever came to grab him, but when Speaker played the footage back later on, he noticed something ODD that he didn’t see before. Slowing the footage down, we can see when Speakers spun the camera back into the Fesse, a mysterious ODD HEAD can be seen floating around in the distance… before vanishing never to be seen again. While the odd head was most likely the source of the mysterious footsteps, what triggered the head is still a mystery, as when Speakers went through a second time he couldn’t get it to trigger again. If anyone’s willing to solve this mystery any further, you never know what will turn up next in these asscheeks. Just as many of these developers never wanted any of these discoveries to be found, you may be just as concerned of your own sensitive materials being discovered and leaked out into the world. Don’t forget that Gears of War III leaked in 2010 because of a couple teens hacked into Epic Games’ servers, using the opportunity to make fun of the fact game director Cliffy B had folders and folders of Katy Perry and Miley Cryus music on his computer… which may be why you’ll want to save yourself from the same embarrassment with the extra level of security that Dashlane provides.
