WTF Moments in Video Games

wtf moments

Every gamer has had some sort of "WTF moment" at least once in their life. These moments can range from being scared witless from seeing the sight of a ghost in Fatal Frame, to having your jaw drop at the infamous mannequin defilement scene in Silent Hill 2. It goes without saying that Silent Hill's Pyramid Head has been a relatively potent source of WTF-ness in games.

These mindblowing instances have the potential to define the player's experience of a game, and they happen very rarely.

There are other times in which a game manages to properly elicit a reaction of awe, but only for the player experiencing it. As games are interactive, emergent experiences, these moments can be entirely unscripted but they are still no less worthy of shock.

In this article, we take a look at 15 of the most WTF-inspiring moments in games of this generation.
