00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're jumping into various games to find the 20 most disturbing
00:12locations in video games.
00:14Horror games, adventure games, sports games, disturbing locations aren't isolated to Silent
00:19Hill.
00:20But we'll get there.
00:21Before we continue, we publish content all week long so be sure to subscribe and ring
00:25the bell to get notified of our latest videos.
00:29The House
00:30In 2014 I wasn't dying to get my hands on a PS4, I wanted one but there was no rush.
00:42That was until I heard about PT.
00:44Once I knew there was a playable teaser for a future Silent Hill game, I finished the
00:48graveyard shift of my factory job at 7 o'clock in the morning and drove straight to Target
00:52to sleep in the car park until the store opened at 8 and I could buy one.
00:56If you've ever played or even just watched a playthrough of the truly remarkable PT,
01:00that unsettling L-shaped corridor where the game unfolds likely still haunts you.
01:04Beyond the eerie sounds, haunting visuals and sudden appearances of Lisa, the real terror
01:09of this setting lies in its simplicity.
01:18The Rat King's Lair
01:25The level begins like any other mission in The Last of Us with players sneaking into
01:28a pitch dark area teeming with infected searching for crucial medical supplies.
01:33We were all thinking the same thing, please don't let a bloater appear.
01:37Just as you find what you need, the Rat King reveals itself, trapping you inside an ambulance
01:42and leaving players thinking the same thing, Jesus I wish that had just been a bloater
01:46that appeared.
01:57The End
01:58Disturbing locations aren't exclusive to horror games like we said because Minecraft introduced
02:03a super unsettling location in the form of The End.
02:07Beyond one of the teleporters that appears after defeating the dragon, players can use
02:10an ender pearl to access the outer end.
02:13Here they'll find themselves in a vast eerie landscape filled with endermen and chorus
02:18fruit trees.
02:19Accompanied by one of Minecraft's longest soundtracks, this seemingly desolate world
02:23is ripe for exploration.
02:25The Mortuary
02:26Here's a fantastic recent entry to throw in for our list and it's a doozy.
02:37The Mortuary Assistant puts you in the role of you guessed it, a mortuary assistant, prepping
02:42and preparing bodies after death.
02:44The mortuary however has some serious issues with hauntings and demons, making it damn
02:48near impossible to get your work done.
02:50The encounters with the otherworldly creatures are randomized and terrifying, keeping the
02:55player constantly on their toes and ready for danger at any moment.
03:08St. Sybil High School
03:09Outlast 2 is packed with terrifying moments and unsettling imagery but nothing quite compares
03:27to the horror of St. Sybil High School.
03:30The stark contrast between the northern Arizona village and this location is striking and
03:34is especially scary as it almost seems like reprieve from the brutality and darkness we're
03:39constantly experiencing in this game.
03:41Neither is a place you want to linger in but St. Sybil unfolds a truly dark narrative that
03:46will turn even the hardest of players into uncomfortable messes.
04:12The Windmill Village
04:22Located in the Altus Plateau, Dominula, the Windmill Village is one of the most unsettling
04:26locations in all of Soulsborne.
04:28As players ascend through the village they'll encounter dozens of women dancing and laughing,
04:33eerily oblivious to the players presence unless provoked.
04:36Think the hills have eyes mixed with the village, mixed with the worst third grade dance competition
04:41you were ever dragged to.
04:42The village's laughter creates an unnerving atmosphere, especially after you learn that
04:47they're waiting to skin you and sacrifice you.
04:50Maybe if they were hot I'd consider it, that's so stupid.
04:59The Shadow Temple
05:11Another on our list that isn't from a horror game, The Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time
05:15is so unnerving that it infamously was the quitting point for a lot of players.
05:20The theme for this dungeon is a spine chilling track that perfectly complements the creepy
05:24scenes.
05:25The dungeon is filled with traps, torture devices and prison cells, making it truly
05:30unsettling.
05:31Along the way players will encounter a variety of monstrous creatures.
05:34Some, like the Dead Hand, may evoke nostalgic memories of terror when the worst thing you
05:38could possibly conjure in your brain was the idea of getting grabbed by something.
05:49Titan Elementary School
05:50Here's a formula that has proven successful since the dawn of horror.
05:54Horror game, plus elementary school, equals terror.
05:58The Titan Elementary School's brightly lit front door and child-friendly appearance in
06:02Dead Space 2 starkly contrasts with the ominous surroundings, making it all the more unsettling.
06:07Upon entering, everything seems harmless until you spot a woman in a nearby room calling
06:12over a grotesque, worm-like baby that suddenly explodes, covering the room in viscera.
06:18Trust me, it only gets worse from there.
06:20Quit, turn the console off, go play Stardew Valley.
06:24SCP Foundation
06:25For those unfamiliar, the SCP Foundation is dedicated to capturing, containing and studying
06:41a wide array of supernatural entities.
06:44When the video game SCP Containment Breach decided to bring this creepypasta to the gaming
06:48world, we didn't know what to expect, but with precarious corners, strategically placed
06:53blind spots and narrow, claustrophobic corridors, we found out we were in for an absolute nightmare.
07:08The Bunker
07:09Amnesia is one of the most beloved horror series of all time, and Amnesia's latest
07:19instalment elevates its established horrors to new heights.
07:22Amnesia lurks in the shadows of Amnesia the Bunker's bunker, as a bloodthirsty creature
07:27prowls after brutally slaughtering the player's comrades.
07:30Now, it's a solitary battle for survival, a recipe for truly terrifying encounters.
07:36Equipped with a trusty light source that recharges with a loud, cranking handle, players can
07:40choose to proceed cautiously or chaotically.
07:43I don't really choose, it just always ends up being both.
07:55Deep Nest
08:02Throughout Hollow Knight the player encounters a few gross locations, and just when players
08:07believe the enchanting world of Hollow Nest has revealed all its secrets, they're thrown
08:11into the nightmarish depths of Deep Nest.
08:14Infested with large, scuttling bugs, treacherous death traps, and the constant need for a light
08:19source, Deep Nest is rightly dreaded by many.
08:22Navigating this area is notoriously challenging, requiring players to be vigilant about their
08:26path, and capable of retracing their steps to avoid getting lost in its labyrinth-like
08:31structure.
08:32Deep Nest is a deep pain in my deep anus.
08:43Shopping Mall
08:50Upon entering the abandoned shopping mall plaza of Condemned, you're immediately confronted
08:55with mannequins in the distance.
08:57Sidenote developers, chill with mannequins, I don't like it.
09:01From that moment on, every mannequin scattered throughout the plaza becomes a potential threat,
09:05ready to spring to life at any second.
09:07You might think surviving this ordeal marks the end of the nightmare, but you'd be gravely
09:11mistaken.
09:12Without giving too much away, the level's final sequence is one of the most terrifying
09:16and unforgettable horror moments in gaming history, and I played it when I was 11.
09:21So sack up and get on it.
09:26Vault 11
09:34Every vault in Fallout has its own terrifying story, but Vault 11 in Fallout New Vegas is
09:38one of the worst, and a chilling example of social experimentation.
09:42The residents were forced to sacrifice one person each year, chosen by vote, or the entire
09:47vault would be executed.
09:49Initially, the residents complied, but over time, they rebelled against the system, refusing
09:53to make a sacrifice.
09:55When no one was chosen, the vault's AI revealed that non-compliance was the actual test, rewarding
10:01them for their refusal with freedom.
10:03However, only five survivors were left by then, traumatized by their actions.
10:08In a final recording, we hear all but one survivor kill themselves, implying that out
10:12there in the world could be one man who saw it all.
10:15Greetings, martyr, and welcome.
10:18If you're here now, it means you've been offered up as a sacrifice, so that your vault can
10:24continue to thrive.
10:26Sevastopol Station
10:35Despite the alien movies providing developers with a strong foundation for a successful
10:39game, many early titles struggled to capture their essence.
10:43It wasn't until Alien Isolation, set on Sevastopol Station, that the franchise's true potential
10:48was realized.
10:49This game was an accidental purchase for me, and turned out to be one of the best horror
10:53games I've ever played.
10:54Also, sidebar, when I was 15, I also accidentally bought Far Cry 3, thinking it was Fallout
10:583, and was also accidentally introduced to an amazing series.
11:01Anyways.
11:02The dark, empty corridors of Sevastopol Station and oppressive silence heightens the tension,
11:07making you dread any sound, knowing it could signal the alien's approach.
11:16The Factory
11:23Inside is a highly acclaimed game, known for its strange world and eerie atmosphere.
11:28Players are captivated from beginning to end as they solve puzzles and navigate the intricate
11:32environment.
11:33One of the game's most striking locations is The Factory, where players fall through
11:37a wooden plank and must quickly adapt to their new predicament.
11:41Here they must mimic the movements of mind-controlled workers, while being watched by a drone with
11:45a powerful searchlight.
11:47There is no more terrifying setting than trying to blend in when you are the only one faking.
11:53Everything around you is an enemy.
12:01Aperture Science Enrichment Center
12:11Portal introduced us to the Aperture Enrichment Center, the location of the entire game, where
12:15you, playing as Shell, must run the course of testing the Portal device in various gauntlets.
12:21The eeriness of the situation is heightened by the absence of any evidence of the hundreds
12:25or even thousands of people who suffered in these rooms before you arrived.
12:30And on top of this, if it's true the dead individuals are actually encased inside the
12:34companion cubes, the enrichment center is likely haunted by numerous vengeful spirits.
12:39Overall, f**k that.
12:47The House
13:00My personal choice for the best horror game of all time is Visage.
13:04Widely acclaimed as a successful spiritual successor to PT, it earns this title easily.
13:10The game has a unique ability to both frustrate and immerse players in the madness that defines
13:15its house setting.
13:16It's nearly impossible to play for extended periods without taking breaks, mental and
13:20pee.
13:21Every room in the house is designed to terrify, with features like self-closing doors, static-filled
13:26radios and creaking floors contributing to an incredibly haunting experience.
13:31I've never experienced a more consistently chilling playthrough in all my years of gaming.
13:56The Hospital
14:04The Hospital, which players encounter midway through Little Nightmares 2, is as terrifying
14:09as gaming experiences get.
14:11As players enter this area, the ominous presence of mannequins in the shadows foreshadows the
14:16danger ahead.
14:17Armed with only a flashlight and a great deal of bravery, players must navigate through
14:21the dilapidated building to advance.
14:23Once the squeaky, very scary looking mannequins come to life, that's when things go from creepy
14:29to throw your console in the bin scary.
14:42House Beneviento
14:52With Resident Evil 7 bringing us back to the series' scary origins, some players were left
14:57a little uncertain when Resident Evil Village seemed to have taken a step back to the action-driven
15:02gameplay that almost killed the series years prior.
15:05Given time, players realised we were getting the perfect blend between Resident Evil 4
15:10and 7, and once House Beneviento came into the picture, we didn't miss the horror anymore.
15:15This sequence is masterfully paced and meticulously designed, beginning with the player exploring
15:20an eerily quiet house that soon reveals a doll maker's workshop, only to be plunged
15:25into darkness.
15:26The tension and paranoia escalate to unbearable levels as the environment grows increasingly
15:31hostile.
15:32Also, the giant fetus is something I'll never forget.
15:49The Town Itself
15:50Whether you're delving into the groundbreaking early Silent Hill games or their later, less
16:06polished successes, one thing remains constant, you'll traverse the foggy streets of this
16:11once peaceful vacation town, and no matter the quality of the game, each visit will keep
16:17you on edge.
16:18Silent Hill is such a beautifully crafted environment that it's shocking nobody had
16:22done something like this already, as the formula seems stupidly simple, yet effective.
16:27Originally a solution to technical constraints, the thick fog that shrouds the city becomes
16:31a defining feature of the game's design, intensifying the already intense sense of dread.
16:37Silent Hill 2 maybe offers the best example of how terrifying this town can be, and uses
16:42its established locations by far the best.
