repostan question
any games that give you the feeling of going down a rabbithole? like, not necessarily something with an ARG or an outright conspiracy thriller like MGS
but where your understanding of the game's world or story suddenly expands and your stomach sinks and butthole clenches because you get that sensation that something 'isnt right', ESPECIALLY in a creepy way
example would be like in Inscryption when it goes from Act 1 to Act 2 and when you find the ID in the wizard tower
or subnautica where you come across the island
to an extent something like undertale/deltarune before the genocide/snowgrave routes were widely known and talked about openly
maybe like Portal or the movie 'Cube' where protagonists start in clean test chambers and slowly learn that they are in a creepy decaying megastructure whose purpose is not really understood and can only try to glean minor meaning from things others have left behind as they trudge hopelessly deeper into the bowels of the thing, groping blindly for an exit. for portal it would be like seeing the wall jammed with the companion cube and revealing one of the ratman's nooks or when you enter the part with the offices and can look through the windows to see stuff about black mesa
specific cube scenes like learning that the prime number method used for determining if a room is trapped is incorrect and the real formula implies that the structure is deeply larger than they first estimated or when they enter a room only to find rennes' corpse and realize the rooms are shuffling
or the intro to the movie 'beyond the black rainbow' or some other early analog horror/documentary where you watch what is purported to be some obscure, lost media like a commercial for some new age science movement from the 70s, whose offices turn out to contain a secret underground complex that is housing [REDACTED]
