Is there a videogame with an unreliable narrator? Why is this prose technique uncommon or non-existent in games? I can't think of any.

Imagine you wake up to the sound of her giggling, you open your eyes and see that you're in a dimly lit chamber. As you try to move, you realize that your arms and legs are fastened to a crossbeam, spread apart. You also notice now that you are completely naked. She comes from around the corner, still giggling, before delivering swift, brutal kicks to your exposed, dangling testicles.

What do you do?

The problem with Unreliable Narrators is that they're either an unexpected twist at the climax or a "through the eyes of a madman" view
And for that, you need solid writing skills to justify WHY presenting the story this way is more interesting, and most writers can't write a Raskolnikov

You're better off looking at VNs, they have a lot of that to varying levels of success

I like the setup in the first few episodes, but then it's a shitload of milling about. The back half is 50% weak payoff to things from earlier, 50% random shit.

MGSV, I guess. I don't think there's any Lynchian games, I could be wrong tho

I'm not sure if you consider fourth wall breaking as part of that but Eternal Darkness is what I think of first. There is a sanity meter that directly influences what happens during gameplay and what you see on screen.

Johnny Silverhand in CP2077, both from what he tells you and from what you experience in his flashbacks. Alt even straight up tells you later that you (the player) were only getting his (Johnny's) side of things, and that he's full of shit.

And I guess Bloodborne would kind of count, since your character's perception of the world is unreliable until you have high enough Insight.

I'm halfway through the story I think? But every single johnny interaction and memory makes him seem like a giant unhinged douchebag. Are you telling me it's worse?
>>
>>738031602
yeah in reality he's just a pussy
>>
>>738031602
A lot of Johnny's reactions depend on how you respond to him. If you're constantly choosing the 'fuck you, Johnny' options, he becomes a little more antagonistic.

But no, I was talking about how Johnny is an unreliable narrator. Like when you're playing his flashback segments, what you're seeing and doing is his personal version of how it went - not ACTUALLY how it went. He was just some rock and roll guy, not a fucking paramilitary soldier who was killing everything that moved with his high caliber pistol.
>>
>>738031824
>>738031839
Lmao, I'm sort of trying to be buddies. Got the whole visiting his grave quest done and he's pretty cooperative. So far his interaction with alt (typical abused groupie junkie) just makes everyone involved seem like a sad sack of shit. So the gunning people down and shooting a couple of fags in arasoka tower didnt even happen? How the fuck does that work if you involuntarily got fragments of his memories, it's not like he could control that.

> Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
And actually it’s a pretty decent shooter. I’ve had a lot of fun with it.
>>
>>738032579
I think the Arasaka tower attack where he puts down the nuke then gets assaulted by Adam Smasher was actually what happened to Morgan Blackhand and Johnny is just remembering himself as having done it, which is why he magically escapes the first encounter with Smasher in the big dojo room then gets bodied by him on the roof.

>how the fuck does that work
I think it's a combination of 'you're looking at Johnny's memories, but they're from a 30 year old Soulkiller scan' mixed with 'the Relic is fucking both your brains up and your psyches/memories are basically merging, so stuff is getting tangled.

Yakuza games have been doing something like this. Ichiban sees himself as a Dragon Quest character, and parts of the game are what he thinks a DQ character would see rather than what's actually happening. The Majima pirate game might also have that, or it's just poorly written.
