18** ''VideoGame/AceCombat3Electrosphere'':
19*** While all five routes have wham lines in them, the [=UPEO=]-General Resource-Ouroboros route has one that stands out from the rest of them:
20---->'''Abyssal Dision:''' I see...! So you were... Simon... Were you?
21*** The OmegaEnding has what is quite possibly the biggest wham line in the entire series.
22---->'''Simon Orestes Cohen:''' Finally, we meet again... Well, I don’t know if you already realized it, but you were a program, created by me. And now, all of the events you’ve witnessed up to this point- all possibilities that I programmed into you as an AI have shown the answer. You having struggled to reach here, have shown me through many patterns, that in all ever changing worlds, he should end up completely erased. That man stole Yoko from me. The man who impudently lived on, alone as a dead copy, Dision! You completely deleted the program that reproduced his thoughts. You showed me all the possibilities. Well, I’ve decided to release you, into the real world. Forget everything you’ve done until now, and with your own eyes, understand the truth of this world. Who created this world, and for what purpose...
23** In the ''VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies'' mission ''Deep Strike'', after destroying the Erusean Solar Power Plant, [[MissionControl AWACS Sky Eye]] shouts at Mobius One to get out of the airspace, because the Eruseans [[SuperweaponSurprise are firing Stonehenge]] at them:
24--->'''Sky Eye:''' Attention all aircraft, incoming from Stonehenge confirmed on radar.
25** ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'':
26*** In the mission ''Blind Spot'', while the Wardog squadron is intercepting Yuktobanian transports, over the radio, the 8492nd is heard firing on civilians.
27---->The Osean Planes are firing on a school packed with civilians!
28*** In the cutscene following the mission, the Wardog squadron is brought to the capital of Osea, Oured, to stand trial for the attack, and when they try to say that the attack was carried out by the 8492nd Squadron, their tribunal drops this line:
29---->'''Tribunal:''' 8492! 8492! Is all you people have to say? There is no squadron in our military with that number!
30*** In the mission ''Journey Home'', the Yuktobanians launch an assault on November City’s football stadium where Vice-President Applerooth is giving a speech, and [[MissionControl AWACS Thunderhead]] tries to call for reinforcements. But before the reinforcements arrive, the 8492nd comes back and tricks them into believing that it was a drill.
31---->'''8492nd Squadron Leader:''' Attention all units approaching November City. I guess they had us going too.\
32'''Thunderhead:''' What? Who is this?\
33'''8492nd Squadron Leader:''' That was a pretty good drill they got going. Anyway, drill is over. Return to base.\
34'''Thunderhead:''' Wait?! What are you talking about?!
35*** In the cutscene after ''Journey Home'', Genette and Pops are examining the wreckage of an aircraft built by North Osea Gründer Industries, the company who manufactures Osea’s military hardware, when Genette asks:
36---->'''Genette:''' Why does Yuktobania have this?
37*** In the mission ''8492'', which happens immediately after the mission ''Fortress'', the Wardog Squadron are on their way back to base, when they’re ambushed by the titular squadron.
38---->'''Grimm:''' Enemy ECM! Wait, that escort plane... ''[[OhCrap Oh no]]''!\
39'''Nagase:''' The 8492nd Squadron doesn’t exist!
40*** And in the same mission:
41---->'''Nagase:''' What are Belkan pilots doing here?
42*** The cutscene that follows after the Wardog Squadron escapes the ambush begins with a WhamLine:
43---->'''Genette:''' (To Pops) Would it surprise you if I said that President Harling is nowhere to be seen within the Capital?\
44'''Pops:''' Not really. The hardline war that Osea is waging right now, hardly resembles the peace policy the president was promoting. Let me guess: He disappeared ''just before'' we invaded Yuktobania right?\
45'''Genette:''' ''Exactly''. My journalist friends in the Capital have told me that no-one has seen him enter or leave the office since. All of his decisions are communicated through the Vice-President. And it gets better: A lot of the military officers who resigned over disagreement over the president’s policy have started to return to the capital.
46*** And following that, Pops drops a revelation of his own:
47---->'''Pops:''' I found something out myself. That Belkan aggressor squadron that I was telling you about? Apparently they’re called the 8492nd. Also, and here’s the kicker, Captain Hamilton, the adjutant base commander here, used to be assigned to the 8492nd.
48*** Immediately afterwards, the Wardog Squadron returns to base, and Nagase and Blaze go to Hamilton to inform him of the ambush, while Grimm goes inform Pops and Genette, but since Blaze and Nagase don’t know that Hamilton is a traitor, they go to Perrault to inform him of what’s going on, only to find that Hamilton had gotten to him first, and that there is more to Pops than what he’s letting on.
49---->'''Perrault:''' Thank you for coming 2nd Lieutenant. I was just about to call you over.\
50'''Pops:''' [[OhCrap Me?]]\
51'''Perrault:''' Special Forces 2nd Lieutenant Peter N. Beagle... Or I guess you prefer ‘Pops’. Fifteen years ago, you and Bartlett were shot down over enemy terrain. Bartlett’s squadron HQ was destroyed, and all of its data was fried by Belka’s magnetic pulse weaponry. When you made it back to the frontlines, it was Bartlett’s word that you were his squadron leader. ''[holds out a gun]'' Is that really true? Bartlett turned out to be a spy. So... Who are you really? ''[reaches for the phone]'' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Can’t prove anything about your military record, can you?]]
52*** In the next mission ''Last Resort'', as the Wardog Squadron and Pops are fleeing from the 8492nd squadron, Pops’ true identity is revealed:
53---->'''8492nd Sqadron Leader:''' That flying style... That isn’t the Colonel is it?\
54'''8492nd Wingman:''' Colonel? You mean ''the Colonel''? The legendary fighter pilot they called ''Huckenbein the Raven'' during the last war?\
55'''8492nd Squadron Leader:''' The greatest traitor our country has ever produced.\
56'''Pops:''' Is that you Ashley? I kept hearing this ‘8492’, and I was wondering what the heck it was. Ever since you started calling yourselves the Grabarc squadron during the last war, I got sick of flying the same sky as you. Seems you’ve strayed further from your ideals since then.
57** ''VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar'':
58*** After completing the mission ''Bastion'', Pixy spots something that {{foreshadow|ing}}s [[SuperweaponSurprise Excalibur]]:
59---->'''Pixy:''' Huh? Did... Something just flash?
60*** When the objective for the mission ''The Inferno'' begins, the lead bomber makes this announcement over the radio:
61---->'''Lead Bomber:''' To all bombers, remove Belka’s ability to wage war. Priority is to place destruction over accuracy.
62*** The next mission, ''Stage of Apocalypse'', as Galm is heading for Sudentor, while Crow is heading for Waldreich, [[MissionControl AWACS Eagle Eye]] receives a transmission from central command:
63---->'''Eagle Eye:''' A Belkan bomber flight armed with nuclear weapons has taken off for Ustio!
64*** Then, near the end of the mission, after it turns out there were seven other nukes:
65---->'''Wizard 1:''' Larry, can you read me? Your fairy godmother's here, Cinderella.\
66'''Pixy:''' How can you say that after what just happened?!\
67'''Wizard 1:''' ''[laughs]'' Today is your lucky day, Larry. Like your birthday.\
68'''Pixy:''' And you're here to pull me off in a magical carriage, huh? To hell, I suppose...\
69''[pause]''\
70'''Pixy:''' Buddy... ''[[[WhamShot player gets a missile lock alert]]]'' [[FaceHeelTurn I've found a reason to fight]].
71*** During the briefing for the mission ''The Talon of Ruin'', Galm team is ordered to pursue a rouge airship called the XB-0 when suddenly:
72---->'''Base Commander:''' We just received an emergency transmission from the control tower... Unidentified aircraft are approaching our base!
73*** And at the end of the same mission:
74---->'''PJ:''' There’s an encrypted message on a hidden channel. Decrypting message: Uh, ''[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay "Yo buddy. You still alive"]]''? It's...!
75*** The ending to the second to last mission ''Avalon'' sees the return of an old friend:
76---->'''[[EvilFormerFriend Pixy]]:''' So, have you found a reason to fight yet? ''Buddy?''
77** ''VideoGame/AceCombat6FiresOfLiberation''
78*** In the mission ''Selumna Peak'', after completing four of the six objectives, [=UAVs=] are detected flying over the mountains. [[PlayerCharacter Garuda]] is ordered to shoot them down, when a second later, their true purpose is revealed:
79---->'''Ghost Eye:''' Warning! Incoming cruise missiles!
80*** Near the end of the mission ''Moloch Desert'', the Estovakian Military is retreating, and seconds after ordering Garuda to go after them, Ghost Eye gets an emergency transmission from central command:
81---->'''Ghost Eye:''' You’ve been ordered to evacuate! Mission command has ordered an evacuation!
82*** The post mission briefing reveals why they were ordered to evacuate:
83---->'''Base Commander:''' According to our intelligence from the Department of National Safety: Estovakia has a scorched earth policy in mind for Gracemeria.
84*** During ''The Liberation of Gracemeria'', Shamrock hopes to introduce Talisman to his family once the mission is over. But come the next mission ''Gracemeria Patrol'', whatever excitement Shamrock had previously is gone, for while everyone else is celebrating, Shamrock talks in a near hush tone, and he doesn’t even laugh at Avalanche’s joke of flying in between the buildings. Its not until halfway through the mission when Shamrock reveals why he has lost his happiness:
85---->'''Shamrock:''' My wife and daughter are both dead. It's just been confirmed. I saved my country, but I lost my family. What kind of an ''ace'' can’t even protect his own family?\
86''[silence]''\
87'''Shamrock:''' ''[voice breaking]'' Monica... and Jessica...\
88''[not subtitled on the radio]'' '''[[SuddenlyShouting How could I let this happen?!]]'''\
89'''Shamrock:''' Once this mission’s over, I’m turning my wings. I’ve had it. I no longer have a reason to fly.
90** ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'':
91*** The fourth mission, ''Rescue'', the Oseans attempt to rescue former president Vincent Harling from the [[SpaceElevator Lighthouse]], after it was captured by the Eruseans. He along with an Air Force Colonel try to escape on a captured V-22, when a missile strikes the cockpit, killing Harling’s escort, and the V-22 inexplicably turns around back to the Lighthouse. During that time, a couple of [=UAVs=] harass the V-22, and when Trigger tries to shoot them down, a missile comes screeching pass Trigger and strikes the V-22, ending the mission in failure, and leading to one of the most tragic moments in the series.
92---->'''[=AWACS=] Sky Keeper:''' Mage 2!\
93''[[[WhamShot the V-22 explodes]]]''\
94'''[=AWACS=] Sky Keeper:''' Oh my god. ''Mother Goose One has been shot down!''
95*** The first part of Mission 16, ''Last Hope'' involves escorting an Erusean general that is trying to negotiate an end to the war. During the mission, he takes the opportunity to reveal to the Oseans on what led to Erusea declaring war as well as the secret behind the development of their drone army:
96---->'''Gen. Labarthe:''' The open declaration of war, the expanding of the frontlines—-It was all the work of some young Erusean officers. They were referred to as the Radicals, but there was an [[TheManBehindTheMan unseen force guiding them]]... It was technology they borrowed from the Belkans.
97*** In the second half of Mission 16, the planes escorting the transport carrying Dr. Schroeder and Mihaly’s granddaughters suddenly attack Trigger and his wingmen without warning. Schroeder explains that the fighters are in fact drones, before dropping this revelation about the extent of their programming:
98---->'''Dr. Schroeder:''' They are ''not'' being controlled by anyone. [[AIIsACrapshoot They are flying of their own volition!]]
99* Through the three normal endings of ''VideoGame/AfraidOfMonsters'', it's revealed that the entire game of the protagonist David Leatherhoff being attacked by various inhuman creatures was [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness a really bad reaction to the pills he's addicted to]], and that he actually went on a psychotic rampage and killed several people. Then, once you've beaten all three normal endings, found all the hidden notes across the game's three paths, and deciphered the code they give you to go for the last ending, you find a trio of notes that lead up to one wham. In a normal-looking kitchen, you find a note saying "My mother used to point at things she wanted me to destroy.", with a picture of the room itself on the wall, with a shadowy figure pointing at the ceiling - instructing you to break the ceiling and climb up into the attic. Once you're there, you find another note: "Now she is pointing at your enemy." At that, a wall breaks down to reveal another of the game's basic "Twitcher" zombies, and you kill it and move down the path it opened up. Right in front of a mirror comes the real wham line in the third note: "No, not the innocent. The enemy!" Once you read that, David's own reflection steps out of the mirror to confront you, and after a short chase sequence you're pitted in an arena to face the true final boss, [[EnemyWithout the personification of David's addiction]].
100* ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'': At the end of the [[Recap/AgeOfEmpiresIIAttilaTheHun Attila the Hun campaign]], the narrator listens to the old monk Father Armand recount a story about being forced to commit atrocities while he was a captive of the titular conqueror. Once Father Armand has finished his story, he chillingly confesses: "Sometimes... [[EvilFeelsGood I miss it]]."
101* ''VideoGame/{{Arcaea}}'':
102** Gameplay-wise:
103*** At the time of the ''VideoGame/{{Arcaea}}'' version 1.5 update, players unlocking the boss track "Grievous Lady" on Future were in for a nasty surprise: "Future 10". Up until this point the highest difficulty was a 9+, which simply meant "harder than level 9" rather than "between 9 and 10". [[LateArrivalSpoiler This is no longer a spoiler]] as "SAIKYO STRONGER" from a later update is plainly listed as a 10 on the song list, unlocked or otherwise.
104*** Meeting certain requirements when you play the song "Tempestissimo" activates a special event where halfway through the song, most of the UI elements disappear, save for the [[LifeMeter Recall gauge]], which is swapped out for the Tempest Gauge (where hitting notes affects the rate that it drains or fills rather than directly affecting it), and the difficulty level, which informs the player that [[OhCrap the rest of the song will be played on the next highest difficulty]]. Past 6 becomes Present 9, Present 9 becomes Future 10...and Future 10 becomes [[HarderThanHard Beyond 11]].
105*** Completing all five sections of the "Axiom of the End" unlock screen in ''Final Verdict'' will unlock the FinalBoss song "Testify". Its level? '''Beyond 12''' (And yes, the chart is every bit as bad as it sounds).
106** Story-wise:
107*** ''Black Fate'': Hikari believed that she could befriend Tairitsu and solve their conflict without a deadly confrontation. This line from Tairitsu makes the point to Hikari that this is impossible, and it ''will'' be a DuelToTheDeath.
108---->''The girl above speaks to her through this glass shard: "Enough games." "And enough wasting time. Give up—and die."''
109*** ''Final Verdict'':
110*** As an obviously unhinged and sadistic Tairitsu pushes Hikari into a corner, the girl in white starts exposing a darker aspect of her personality.
111---->Because the sentiment asking for her to stop all this is not kindness, but lack of care: a frightening and deeply seated apathy. This is what she always had. This profound indifference-she must have felt it before.
112*** After Hikari kills Tairitsu, she drops several major reveals about the creator of Arcaea and its denizens.
113---->'''(Referring to Arcaea's denizens):''' ''You really are me. She really copied me out and... it really is true for all of us-- we're all hollow copied souls.''\
114'''(Referring to the real Hikari):''' ''Honestly, I'm sorry. I don't have any regrets, but... the hate I felt wasn't even... for you. The other... you... She's still out... there. Still a...live...''
115*** The bonus DownerEnding further confirms that the creator of Arcaea is none other than the real Hikari.
116---->In her heart, she made a sullen wish for refuge, and that wish was granted: "Somewhere else, where I can be happy".\
117The white-haired girl was so powerful that her wish had created a world.
118* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'': Spoken by the character you had been playing as up to this time, who has all the classic Assassin skills and weapons, upon welcoming a new person into his "brotherhood": "You... are a Templar. [[ArcWords May the Father of Understanding guide us.]]" [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Desmond, who exclaims in voice-over, "Wait, what?"
119* The halfway point in ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'', where the main character drops a line that provided one of the best plot twists in JRPG history and completely tuns EVERYTHING on its head.
120-->'''Kalas:''' It's me. I worked together with Melodia.
121* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' has two in the Spirit of Arkham messages. Some previous ones hinted that there was a contemporary edge for mentioning Poison Ivy and Killer Croc, but then there is one making it clear it is not Amadeus Arkham who is writing (rather, it's Warden Quincy Sharp):
122-->Yet again I found myself watching him. No one can provide a cure. He laughs in the face of those who try. Amadeus would not have let him live and neither should I. One last sip of cognac and I was ready."
123** He has another regarding his family's killer, who had reformed and was soon to be released:
124--->He talked about wanting to walk in a park, how he longed to feel fresh air on his face, and then he took my father's fountain pen and killed my secretary... he pleaded for forgiveness, [but] I watched as my guards beat him to a stain on the floor.
125* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'':
126** Hugo Strange drops this line while interrogating a captured Bruce Wayne, revealing that he knows his SecretIdentity.
127--->'''Strange:''' By the end of tonight, I will be a hero. Just like you... ''Batman''.
128** Towards the end of the game, Hugo Strange's Protocol 10 has been stopped and he's been stabbed by [[TheManBehindTheMan Ra's Al Ghul]] for his failure. As he lies dying, he says a line that ends up ([[DeathIsCheap temporarily]]) taking Ra's down with him.
129--->'''Strange:''' Activate... Protocol... 11...! [Cue Wonder Tower's SelfDestructMechanism]
130* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'':
131** The game sets some kind of record by having ''the first line of the game'' be a Wham Line. The whamminess comes from the fact that none of the promotional material (besides [[Main/TrailersAlwaysSpoil one spoilery piece of merchandise and some of the TV ads]]) had hinted at its inclusion.
132--->'''Gordon:''' This is how it happened. This is how the Batman died.
133** During the mission at the Ace Chemical Factory, there's this gem, both for the character who said it and the voice actor playing him [[FlipFlopOfGod given he'd talked about retiring from the role]] after ''City''.
134--->'''[[Creator/MarkHamill Joker Hallucination]]:''' Miss me?
135** Later in the game, after a big vehicle-on-vehicle battle with the mysterious Arkham Knight, who has been feeding Scarecrow intel on how to fight Batman, he reveals he knows a lot more about Batman than Bats thought he did:
136--->'''Arkham Knight:''' But don't worry, [[SecretIdentity Bruce]]. I kept some secrets to myself...
137** Speaking of the titular Arkham Knight, TheReveal:
138--->'''Batman:''' [[ComicBook/RedHood Jason?!]] But... you're dead!
139* ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'':
140** When Penguin holds Mayor Hill at gunpoint in ''Children of Arkham'', the latter reveals his biggest secret out of sheer desperation, right in front of Batman.
141--->'''Mayor Hill:''' I took out Thomas Wayne! That was all him, he didn't know when to stop. I had him ''killed'' because of it!
142** At the end of "New World Order", when Vicki stabs Bruce with a pen laced with PsychoSerum:
143--->'''Bruce:''' You. You're with the Children of Arkham!\
144'''[[AdaptationalVillainy Vicki]]:''' No. I ''[[BigBad am]]'' the Children of Arkham.
145** From "Guardian of Gotham", in a conversation between Bruce and [[ComicBook/TheJoker John Doe]]:
146--->'''John Doe:''' Don't be ashamed; it's in your blood! I see a lot of your father in you. She probably does, too. It's obvious that's why Vicki hates you -- your dad helped bump off her parents!\
147'''Bruce:''' Why would my father have the Vales killed?\
148'''John:''' I never said he killed the VALES. She was born an Arkham. Victoria Arkham.
149** Season 2's fourth episode has another one from John. The player can probably tell [[TropeTelegraphing what he's going to say]] based on the first line.
150--->'''John:''' I ''know'' you can fight better than that. [[SecretSecretKeeper Or do you need your Batsuit to really get you in the mood]]? (You're) always hiding behind some kind of mask. [[MillionairePlayboy Playboy]], [[HonestCorporateExecutive businessman]], [[TheMole criminal]]. ''Bat''.
151* ''VideoGame/TheBeginnersGuide'':
152** The first hints that Davey isn't telling us everything come from this line.
153--->'''Davey:''' And to be fair it's not like this is the first game that's needed some modification to be playable. Like the housecleaning game, you know that one used to actually loop the cleaning chores and you just cleaned a house forever, I had to cut it off so that you could exit the house and the game would actually end.
154** TheTower level starts with two complimentary lines that spell out what went down between Davey and Coda.
155--->'''Coda, via the wall:''' Dear Davey, thank you for your interest in my games. I need to ask you not to speak to me anymore.\
156'''Davey:''' ''I'm'' the reason that you stopped making games, aren't I? It's because of what I did. I poisoned it for you.
157** Throughout the game, the end of a section was symbolized by a lamppost, with Davey telling us that Coda put them in as a symbol of a goal or a finished project. But then, about halfway through TheTower, Coda's (written) speech to Davey takes a turn and throws all of that out the window.
158--->'''Coda, via the wall:''' Would you stop changing my games? Stop adding lampposts to them? Would you simply let them be what they are?
159* ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'':
160** Chapter 1 - after Henry is chased by Inked Bendy and falls through the floor, there's this on the wall: "The Creator Lied to Us."
161** Chapter 2 - Henry is alone under the studio and finds a tape that ends with "Can I get an amen?" Immediately after this, the same voice says, "I said, 'can I get an amen?'" The tape is off, and the voice sounds like it's coming from around the corner.
162** Chapter 3 - Henry has been making his way through Joey Drew Studios' toy factory, looking for a way out. He reaches a dead end filled with unsold toys of the unpopular Alice Angel character and gets trapped. The lights flicker and her theme song plays. The song has a line that the lyrics keep coming back to: "I'm Alice Angel!" But then, a real life version of Alice creates a jumpscare by appearing in the empty room on the other side of the window, hitting the glass, and shouting the line at the same time that it was due to play in the recording. It's accompanied by the music shutting off, and is quickly followed by the lights doing the same. After this, Alice says, "I see you there. A new fly in my endless web. Come along now. Let's see if you're worthy to walk with the angels." When the lights come back on, a new hallway has opened up.
163** Also in Chapter 3 - Part of Alice's final rant for the chapter reveals: "No, Henry! I know who you are! And I know why you're here!"
164** Chapter 4 - For anyone not tipped off by the [[SpoiledByTheFormat subtitles]], there's the line at the end of Bertrum's "recording" inside Bendy Land: "You may think I've gone... But I'm still here!"
165** Between Chapters 4 & 5 - At the end of Chapter 4, Henry is forced to kill his BrainwashedAndCrazy pal, Boris, in self-defense. He is then attacked by evil Alice, only for her to be stabbed in the back by... a different version of Alice Angel, who is there with yet another Boris. Fans assumed this was a rescue party. However, the game's developers released an audio recording of Henry's in the time leading up to Chapter 5 that puts the "rescue party's" motivations into question:
166--->'''Henry:''' There's crazy things happening down here... monsters, demons, angels... and right now, two of them are holding me prisoner.
167* The absolutely final ending of ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' has Isaac ascending to heaven while seeing the traumatic experiences in his life that led him to commit suicide, but just as he finishes ascending...
168-->'''Narrator:''' [[NestedStoryReveal Are you]] ''[[NestedStoryReveal sure]]'' [[NestedStoryReveal this is how you want this story to end, Isaac?]] You're the one writing it, it doesn't ''have'' to end this way. Here, how about we tell it a different way? Maybe a happy ending?\
169'''Isaac:''' Okay, daddy.
170* ''VideoGame/BioShock1'':
171** A WhamLine that changes everything you thought and knew about the game until that point.
172--->'''Andrew Ryan:''' "Stop, would you kindly? 'Would you kindly?' Powerful phrase. [[ManchurianAgent Familiar phrase?]]"
173** Immediately after that, the game follows up with another one that finishes TheReveal.
174--->'''Atlas:''' "There ain't no Atlas, kid, never was... the name's Frank Fontaine."
175** And in ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite''
176--->'''Elizabeths:''' It all has to end, to have never started. Not just in this world, but in all of ours.\
177'''Booker:''' [[HeroicSuicide Smother him in the crib.]]
178* ''Franchise/BlazBlue'':
179** ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCalamityTrigger'' has pretty much the entire exchange between CuteClumsyGirl Noel Vermilion and RobotGirl Nu-13 at the end of Noel's arcade mode run:
180--->'''Nu-13:''' [[MachineMonotone Loading... loading... loading... loading... Complete...]]\
181'''Noel:''' I've... seen this before. What? Huh... What?\
182'''Nu-13:''' Scanning: complete. Auto-mode: confirmed.\
183'''Noel:''' Are these... my memories? Or... yours? Mine...? Or are they... ''ours?''\
184'''Nu-13:''' Scanning: complete. IFF determined. Processing... Subject determined to be hostile.\
185'''Noel:''' Who... are you...? I... [[CreepyMonotone I... I...]]\
186'''[[SpeakInUnison Both:]]''' [[TomatoInTheMirror Activate termination protocol.]]
187** The same game also only reveals the true identity of legendary hero and miniboss Hakumen once you unlock Hakumen's story mode and see his reaction to defeating the protagonist, Ragna:
188--->''What tears ''(Hakumen)'' had have dried up long ago, and he no longer even has eyes to cry from... But to be reunited with the man he once called "Brother"...''
189** Surprisingly, in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueChronophantasma'', the side story ''Remix Heart Gaiden'' gets one. In the last chapter, Kajun deliberately drops back from the group on pretence of needing the restroom. She then puts through a call that indicates the ''Gaiden'' stories are not entirely self-contained, as well being an unlikely contact for a prospective [=NOL=] student.
190--->'''Kokonoe:''' Hey, it's me. What's the situation?
191** Many of the plot twists in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCentralFiction'' are given through Wham Episodes, but a few come in single lines:
192*** One line in Act 3 of Ragna's Arcade Mode shows that Amane Nishiki is not the trivial BlitheSpirit he appears:
193---->'''Amane:''' I see, so this is the real 'Ragna the Bloodedge'. Yes, very strong! As I expected, our dance together will be truly magnificent! I really want you to join my troupe now!\
194'''Ragna:''' I said that I refuse! Don't make me repeat myself!\
195'''Amane:''' I see... In that case, let me rephrase that. I want you [[AllPowerfulBystander to be under my Observation]].
196*** At the end of Litchi's third Arcade Mode, she encounters [[WasOnceAMan Arakune]] and manages to make contact with [[TheLostLenore Roy]] within the Boundary. There she tells him that she's finally achieved her series-long goal: that there's a way to undo Roy's transformation and bring him back to their world.
197---->'''Roy:''' ...[[IChooseToStay I already]] [[BreakHerHeartToSaveHer know that]].
198*** One line in Carl's Arcade Mode shows how, despite all his intentions, he did turn out like his ArchnemesisDad: when he does the one thing he always hated other characters doing throughout the series.
199---->'''Carl:''' Hm? Sis, step aside.\
200'''Ada:''' [[VisibleSilence ...]]\
201'''Carl: ...Get out my way, Nirvana.'''
202** ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'' caught fans off-guard in the EVO 2017 trailer when it seemed the trailer would end...
203--->'''[[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Ruby Rose]]:''' Now, hold on just a minute! Ah, this looks interesting! [[UnexpectedCharacter Mind if I join the fight?]]
204* ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'':
205** "Behold! A Paleblood sky!" Notable in that it's potentially a delayed example: if you're abducted and taken to the Hypogean Gaol, you may find a note with the above, befuddling message scrawled upon it. Considering that your character has been spending the game searching for "Paleblood" you can easily deduce that this is a significant note, but it feels like its significance is lost upon you... Much later, after you've slain Rom, you return to Yahar'gul, where the Hypogean Gaol is located, and this time [[BadMoonRising the note's significance will suddenly make a whole lot more sense.]]
206** Gerhman [[ObfuscatingDisability getting up]] and unsheating his [[SinisterScythe Burial Blade]] to fight is a WhamShot in itself, but then you actually start the battle and see his boss title is "Gerhman, ''[[DoomedPredecessor the First Hunter]]''".
207** Right after, a gigantic creature descends from the heavens to fight you, and it is only the fact that its boss title dubs it "Moon Presence" that allows you to realize this isn't just any monster - in fact, it might be [[GreaterScopeVillain THE monster]].
208** "A corpse... should be left well alone..." Notable in that it isn't the phrase itself which is the wham line, but the fact that it's said in the voice of the Plain Doll. [[HunterOfMonsters The Hunter]] themselves reacts with shock to this line and backs away from the speaker in obvious fear.
209*** It takes on a far deeper meaning after her defeat, when you finally reach the finale of the DLC, and learn the "corpse" she was referring to wasn't her.
210** "Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world." A parting phrase spoken by the Plain Doll every time you've interacted with her, [[TheEndingChangesEverything but it takes on a much deeper meaning in the Sunrise Ending.]]
211* ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'' has a few:
212** Tyalie, reacting to the WhamShot after battling an AsteroidsMonster boss down to its smallest form, and revealing a dark truth about one of your friends:
213--->'''Tyalie:''' So this means... Anonymous is Legion?
214** Arianna, finally explaining her origins and motives, in a way that casts everything she's done up until then in a harsh new light:
215--->'''Arianna:''' My name... My TRUE name... It's ''ARPANET''.
216** The Pale Wraith, dropping a vital clue to his [[HijackedByGanon true identity]] by way of AccidentalMisnaming:
217--->'''Pale Wraith:''' It's been a long time, hasn't it... ''Cate?''
218* ''VideoGame/BugFables'':
219** Right at the beginning of the Chapter 2, Leif drops a major bombshell revealing that [[RipVanWinkle he spent a VERY long time asleep in Snakemouth Den]].
220--->'''Leif:''' When our team left for Snakemouth... The Queen was Elizant the First.
221** A much tamer example occurs in Chapter 3, where the team (and, by extension, the player) learns that [[UnreliableExpositor Vi's]] claims about being harassed and bullied by other bees in the Bee Kingdom Hive were not true.
222--->'''Kabbu:''' Vi...could it be the Hive has done nothing to you?\
223'''Vi:''' ...\
224'''Leif:''' Nonsense. Why would she be so unwilling otherwise?\
225'''Vi:''' He's right.\
226'''Kabbu:''' I am?\
227'''Vi:''' The Hive didn't do anything. I did.
228** At the end of Chapter 5, the team does not encounter the Wasp King in his personal chambers, but instead they meet Queen Vanessa II, who, besides revealing that all wasps in the Wasp Kingdom were brainwashed, drops a major bombshell revealing that the team ended up becoming the {{Unwitting Pawn}}s to the Wasp King's plans.
229--->'''Leif:''' We came to defeat the King. He's not here?\
230'''Vi:''' Or at least to take the artifact...\
231'''Queen Vanessa II:''' I'm afraid not. He left the general in charge some time ago, when he decided to attack the Ant Kingdom. I have not seen him since.\
232'''Kabbu:''' What? How could this be?! He was driven out of the Ant Kingdom and we've had reports he...\
233''[The team, except Vi, [[ExplainExplainOhCrap comes to realization]]]''\
234'''Kabbu:''' C-COULD IT BE!?\
235'''Leif:''' This is bad! Disastrous!\
236'''Vi:''' Uh, what's up?\
237'''Leif:''' We were tricked! There's no artifact here!\
238'''Vi:''' [[BigWhat WHAT!?]]
239** Right before the beginning of Chapter 6, when Queen Elizant II was forced to give up the artifacts to the Wasp King so that he wouldn't harm her people, and when the group thanks her, she unmasks herself and reveals [[SourOutsideSadInside her true personality]], combined with the fact it's definitely [[RedHerring not what the player was led to believe]].
240--->'''Queen Elizant II:''' I do not deserve your gratitude. I've failed everyone. You, my loyal people. My mother, the Queen... It would be folly to pretend I deserve this royal mask.
241** And within the dialogue that came from the aforementioned line, Queen Elizant also reveals her true motives, which not only turn out to not be for her personal gain, but also reveal that her predecessor's fate is not what everyone was led to believe.
242--->'''Queen Elizant II:''' The true Queen, Elizant I... My mother, she yet lives. She was put in a deep slumber, using crystal energy. A sort of stasis. It was her dream to get the sapling so she could continue to rule Bugaria for years to come. ...I wished only to bring her back with it. A graceful Queen, loved by all. A diplomatic genius, who ended wars without combat. I longed for her return... So that I may concede my throne to her. For she is so much more than I have ever been.
243** In Chapter 7, when the group reaches the Roach Village in the Giant's Lair, Queen Elizant II drops another bombshell when explaining her goals to the Roaches regarding the Sapling, especially given what she said earlier.
244--->'''Queen Elizant II:''' ...I... I had a dream. To use its power to fulfill my wishes... But the lust for that power has only brought turmoil to Bugaria. I will destroy it!
245* ''VideoGame/CassetteBeasts'': The ''Pier of the Unknown'' DLC has one when you talk to Gwen after defeating all three Infernal Engines, revealing that Gwen is not only an Archangel, but also one who knows Morgante, complete with a SuddenSoundtrackStop and a surprised reaction from your partner:
246-->'''Gwen:''' Morgante always said that our lot can't really make things - that's for you humans.
247* ''VideoGame/ChoRenSha68k'':
248** After defeating the boss of Stage 6, instead of "STAGE 7" appearing on-screen as one may expect, "STAGE '''0'''" shows up instead. Furthermore, dying and ranking in on this stage will show the stage you reached as "'''2'''-0", indicating that this stage is officially part of the second loop rather than the first even though it's your first time getting to this stage. This indicates that something is pretty ''off'' about the stage...
249** When Stage 2-0 is completed, an explosion happens -- the exact same explosion from the beginning of the game -- and the game displays "STAGE 1", indicating a space-time loop.
250* ''VideoGame/CleaningRedville'': The game has you collecting garbage bags as you drive down the streets of the titular town. Then you accidentally hit somebody as your driving back to base. Next to the body is an envelope containing a letter that says "But it's time to face [=YOUR=] real job", and when you approach the body, the prompt reads "Bag Up Body".
251* Episode 0 of ''VideoGame/Code7'' ends with one. Alex successfully defended Sam and themselves against [[BigBad S.O.L.I.]], they board a escape capsule and leave. The last thing the player sees before the credits roll?
252-->'''Alex:''' I am S.O.L.I.
253* Beat ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert'''s Soviet Campaign, and one character reveals that the AncientConspiracy has been [[PiggybackingOnHitler Piggybacking on Stalin]], as well as showing indication that the Red Alert universe was about to be [[CanonWelding Canon-welded]] with the Tiberian series before becoming its own continuity.
254-->'''Nadia:''' This temporary chaos in Europe, would only serve to fuel The Brotherhood (of Nod)'s cause.\
255'''The Advisor:''' The foreseeable future? Comrade chairman, ''[[DarkMessiah I am the future!]]''
256* The ending of ''VideoGame/{{Crackdown}}''. After beating all three of the Criminal Gangs, the [[MissionControl Agency Director]] congratulates you on a job well done. It seems to be a generic AWinnerIsYou, until...
257-->''It's taken years of meticulous planning and patience to reach this stage, but it was worth it. [[EvilAllAlong Who do you think supplied Los Muertos]]?''
258* In ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime'', the heroes confront the 2 N. Tropies who are giving Tawna a run for her money, then the female N. Tropy drops this shocking nugget of information.
259-->'''N. Tropy (F):''' The last time I killed her friends, her screams were exquisite.
260* ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'': Near the end of ''The Delicious Last Course'', if the ominous dungeon beneath the bakery and forboding music didn't give it away, Chef Saltbaker clearly spells out [[EvilAllAlong his true colors]] when you meet him inside the dungeon.
261-->'''Chef Saltbaker:''' A shame I never told you about the most important secret ingredient [to the Wondertart]... ''[moves aside to reveal the unused cup captured]'' ...A living soul! While you suckers were out doing my bidding, I nabbed your little friend here.
262* In ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution X3'', a nasty one awaited those who unlocked "LOVE IS THE POWER -Re:born-" for the Encore Extra Stage, back when the track could only be accessed through EES. EES's in ''DDR'' had previously only required the easier -- ''comparatively speaking'' -- Full Combo (no step judgements that terminate the player's step combo) status to clear, but at the start of this particular EES, this message shows up:
263-->"ATTACK! PERFECT FULL COMBO!"[[note]]In other words, the chart requires a Perfect Full Combo to clear, and you fail on the spot if you so much as get a ''Great''.[[/note]]
264* ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls''
265** When Nagito encounters Komaru and Toko near the secret exit from the city in Chapter 4, he makes the following line, whch reveals Toko's true reason for accompanying Komaru.
266--->'''Nagito:''' Rather, the one who disappointed me was Toko. [...] ''(to Toko)'' Now, perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe we made a promise. You were to escort her to headquarters.
267** In Chapter 5, Komaru is possessed by Tokuichi Towa's ghost, and asks if he's Haiji's father. Tokichi not only confirms it, but also reveals that another person Komaru knows is part of the family.
268--->'''Tokuichi''' ''(speaking through Komaru)'' : I see... You know Haiji. Then do you know his little sister [[BigBad Monaca]], too?
269** For the entire game, Komaru has been desperate to escape Towa City, a goal that's merely put on hold near the end of the game. As such, this exchange after the FinalBoss comes off as quite a surprise.
270--->'''Komaru:''' I...I know I can save both the adults and the children.\
271'''Toko:''' Well, we can chat about it after we get out of this damn town once and for all!\
272'''Komaru:''' Toko... I... I'm staying in this town.
273* ''VideoGame/DarkDeception'':
274** At the end of Mascot Mayhem, Lucky, Penny and Hangry actually manage to stop and kill Doug. Cue for Bierce laughing at you and the game over scre-
275--->'''Lucky:''' Well, too bad. I'm not done with ya yet!
276* ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'':
277** A meta example in the help window that pops up after a hero dies for the first time:
278--->''If the odds are against you, remember that fleeing is always an option. [[NintendoHard If you're in the Tutorial, though]], [[ThisIsGonnaSuck the escape command isn't available]].''
279** In the game's intro, the Ancestor uses the phrase "Ruin has come to our family". At the end he makes mention of the "The great family of man", implying that he was referring to ''all'' of humanity, and not just your house.
280* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': In ''Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising'', Avitus' betrayal is followed up with this line during the relevant mission.
281-->'''Avitus:''' ...Until after the Tyranids, when Kyras contacted me again. And told me to provide information and aid to an ally of his... ''named Eliphas.''
282* In ''VideoGame/{{Deemo}}'', when you beat Fluqor, the final song of the game (Or ''Marigold'' on the fourth ''Forgotten Hourglass'' playthrough), the words "Goodbye, my beloved sister, Alice." appear on screen, which is the first (and only) time [[SilentProtagonist Dee]][[DarkIsNotEvil mo]] has talked in the game, who, in the cutscene following, is revealed to be the little girl's (Alice) deceased older brother, Hans.
283* ''Videogame/DeepRockGalactic:'' While there were already reasons to believe [[ThePlague the Rockpox pathogen]] had [[ItCanThink a level of animalistic intelligence to it]] according to both gameplay observations and briefings from MissionControl, one line during the season assignment in Season 4 lets you know "animalistic" might fall short.
284-->'''Mission Control:''' More bad news, I'm afraid, miners. Space Rig 5 has been struck head-on by a Rockpox meteor fragment. The station fusion core, they, um... all hands are considered lost.
285* ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'':
286** Gives one right in the opening once you've finished creating your "vessel", letting you know [[SpiritualAntithesis what you're in for with this game]], especially if you've played ''Undertale'':
287--->''YOUR ANSWERS''\
288''[[CharacterCustomization YOUR WONDERFUL CREATION]]''\
289''[[SubvertedTrope Will now be discarded.]]''\
290''[[EstablishingSeriesMoment No one can choose who they are in this world.]]''
291** After beating the OptionalBoss and talking with Seam, the shopkeeper will directly quote one of [[TheGhost Gaster]]'s lines from [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} the first game]]:
292--->'''Seam:''' And my view of this world have become darker, yet darker.
293* ''VideoGame/Destiny2'' gives us the battered-yet-defiant Speaker's ''magnificent'' retort to an increasingly-frustrated Ghaul, after having lead Ghaul on a wild goose chase for weeks in order to give the Vanguard time to recover and launch a counteroffensive;
294-->'''The Speaker:''' I speak ''for'' the Traveler... I never said it spoke ''to'' me.
295** On Nessus, there’s an adventure called ‘Invitation from the Emperor’. Throughout the adventure, you pick up bits and pieces of a mysterious transmission from an individual whose trying to take over the remnants of the Red Legion. Its not until the end of the adventure when we finally find out who the mysterious new leader is, which leads to Cayde-6 [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness having one of the few legitimate freakouts]] he’s ever had in the series:
296--->'''Ghost:''' ‘All that I ask, is that you return to my loving embrace’. Ew. [[TheDreaded ‘Emperor Calus]] has spoken.’\
297'''Cayde-6:''' [[OhCrap (Genuinely shocked)]] Whoa wait? ‘Emperor’? As in ''Cabal Emperor''? Okay, opulence can wait, Ikora now. Ikora! Uh, good work you two.\
298'''Ghost:''' Boy he left in a hurry. I wonder what that was about.
299** Io has an adventure called ‘Arecibo’, where Ghost is picking up a transmission that only he and the Young Wolf can hear. Throughout the adventure, they find some Golden Age capsules that each contain quotes from before the Golden Age. Ghost suspects that Rasputin may have left them behind, and that he’s trying to tell them something. When the final capsule is found however, this happens:
300--->'''Ghost:''' Ah, that music... it hurts... just... give me a second... It says... 'Never ask for anything! Never for anything, and especially from those who are stronger than you. They'll make the offer themselves, and give everything themselves.' I don't understand. Wait. Something's happening... Gah! Red sand! Mars! Ice caps! Ahhhhh!... Hey! [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Sorry, I spaced out for a second there.]] What were we doing?
301** In ''Destiny 2'''s ''Forsaken'' expansion, the cutscenes featuring [[BigBad Uldren Sov]] make it clear that the [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Mara Sov]] he's talking to is ''not'' his sister, but rather some other entity manipulating him. Most fans were of the impression that it was possibly the Hive's goddess of trickery Savathûn. But in the finale of the main campaign comes a line that reveals it's instead one of the infamous [[PowerAtAPrice Ahamkara]] [[JerkassGenie wish]]-[[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]]:
302-->'''"The Queen:"''' "FREE ME, [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay o brother mine]]..."
303* ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' has Varin Omega's pre-fight dialogue, and particularly this portion of it.
304-->'''Varin Omega:''' How the hell can you follow the man who devoured you?\
305'''Argilla:''' What are you... talking about? I don't know --\
306'''Varin Omega:''' You were the first to be devoured. Remember?! ''(to Heat)'' And you, I feel sorry for you. How many times must you die for this woman?!
307* From the ''VideoGame/{{DonPachi}}'' series:
308** The original ''[=DonPachi=]'', end of the first loop:
309--->''"Once again, we have successfully completed our mission and the usual message came up on my screen. Our mission? '''[[TomatoSurprise To fight against our fellow troop members until one side completely annihilates the other.]]'''"''
310** ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi]]'': Complete the game normally, and the Commander commends your efforts and tells you it's time to take a well-deserved rest. Fulfill the conditions for the 2nd loop, however, and...
311--->"That was a good fight. You should be commended...'''Psych! You're dead meat!!''' Enemies you've been fighting against, supposedly 'Mechanized Aliens', were actually. our (sic) guys, the missing battlefleet you learned about in the academy. [[UnwittingPawn You were killing our guys without knowing it!]] [[ManipulativeBastard But I planned that all along!]] And your death...would be a nice finishing touch to my whole scheme. My special forces are the best of the best and they will be welcoming you with fierce fier (sic) power. SeeYouInHell!"
312** In ''[=DoDonPachi=]'' [=DaiFukkatsu=], Colonel Longhena has ''two'' versions of the "welcome to 2nd loop" speech, depending on which version of the 2nd loop you unlock. Either way, he declares his intent to "build a new order"...
313* They're a single line in a flashback from ''VideoGame/DOOMEternal'' that rapidly changes up everything we knew about the story, on account of who's saying it.
314-->'''[[CanonCharacterAllAlong Doomguy:]] ''[[SuddenlyVoiced Rip...and Tear!]]'''''
315* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
316** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'':
317*** Your character and Alistair complete their mission to summon reinforcements at Ostagar - only for Loghain, who was supposed to provide the reinforcements, to abandon the army and leave the king to his death.
318---->'''Loghain:''' Sound... the retreat!
319*** If you take a certain romanced character to the FinalBattle and haven't [[TakeAThirdOption Taken A Third Option]]:
320---->'''Alistair:''' You say that like [[HeroicSacrifice I'm giving you]] a [[SadisticChoice choice]].
321** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'':
322*** At the end of the quest "Alone": "You said you never wanted those markings, but that's not true! You wanted them; competed for them!"
323*** In Merrill's quest "A New Path", she notices that the Pride Demon who taught her Blood Magic is not present at Pride's End, and suggests that something must have happened to it. Keeper Marethari, now possessed by the demon, arrives and says, "I happened."
324*** In the ''Legacy'' DLC, when you finally confront the ancient darkspawn Corypheus, he utters a couple:
325---->"Whoever you be, you owe fealty to any [[WasOnceAMan magister of Tevinter]]."\
326"The light. The golden light. You [Dumat] offered... the power of the gods themselves. But it was black... corrupt." [...] "It was [[EvilAllAlong supposed to be golden!]]"
327** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'':
328*** "Well, Shit":
329---->'''Bianca:''' Red lyrium... it has the [[TheCorruption Blight]]. Do you know what that means?\
330'''Varric:''' What, that two dangerous things combine to form something super-awful?\
331'''Bianca:''' Lyrium is ''[[GeniusLoci alive]]'' - or something like it. The Blight can't infect minerals. Only animals.
332*** "What Pride Has Wrought":
333---->'''Abelas:''' The Tevinters never destroyed Arlathan. We warred upon ourselves.\
334'''Abelas:''' "Elven legend" is wrong. The Dread Wolf had nothing to do with Mythal's murder.
335*** Shortly after the climax of "What Pride Has Wrought," encountering Flemeth in the Fade:
336---->'''Morrigan:''' ...you are [[PhysicalGod Mythal.]]
337*** In TheStinger:
338---->'''Flemeth:''' You should not have given your orb to Corypheus, Dread Wolf.\
339''([[WhamShot cue image of Solas walking up behind her]])''
340* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'': After beating Zoma, the hero emerges just in time for the game to inform the player that the hole in the sky has closed. You are now stuck in Alefgard.
341* After defeating Schwarzgeist in ''VideoGame/{{Einhander}}'', you get this message:
342-->''"Received a telegram from Hyperion: Enemy threat removed by your heroic attempt. The battle pattern of the latest E.O.S. unmanned fighter has been completed according to the data from your battle record. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness For your meritorious deed, you have been honored to be selected as the target of the last E.O.S. test.]] Congratulations. After your death, you will advance two classes and be awarded the sirius decoration. [[ArcWords Glory with the Moon. Mercy on the Earth.]]"''
343* Quite a few in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'':
344** At the end of the quest where you have to negotiate a truce between the Stormcloaks and Imperials, Delphine walks up to you (if you haven't talked to her yet) and says this:
345--->'''Delphine:''' Oh, and one more thing. We know about Paarthurnax.
346** In the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Thalmor]] Embassy:
347--->'''Dossier - Ulfric Stormcloak:''' [[ManchurianAgent Status - Asset, Dormant, Emissary Level Approval]]
348** And while investigating a series of political murders in Markarth:
349--->'''Corrupt Guard:''' You want to meet the King In Rags? [[FrameUp You'll have plenty of time to chat him up in Cidhna Mine.]]
350** For the ''Dragonborn'' [=DLC=]:
351--->''"[[ThereIsAnother You didn't think you were the only one?]]"''
352** The game even ''starts'' with one, for those who have played previous installments and are familiar with the setting's lore:
353--->'''Priestess:''' As we commend your souls to Aetherius, blessings of the ''Eight'' Divines upon you.\
354'''Stormcloak Prisoner:''' For the love of Talos, shut up and let's get this over with!
355** Throughout the game, the only word on the Dark Brotherhood is they have long since gone extinct and are almost mythical, but there is a quest from the orphan Aventus Aretino, performing the Black Sacrament in his old house in Windhelm to kill [[IronicName Grelod the Kind]]; when you walk in, he thinks you work for them. If you choose to kill Grelod after speaking with the child[[note]]or speak to the child after killing her, if you kill her before getting the quest[[/note]], then twenty-four hours after completing the quest, you receive a mysterious note from a courier -- with a huge black handprint and two words:
356--->'''WE KNOW.'''
357* In ''Shadow of Karkhala,'' the final installment of the ''VideoGame/{{Enigmatis}}'' trilogy, the detective is working alongside Britney, one of the only surviving members of a massacred expedition team in the Himalayas. A little over midway through the game, however, she happens upon a WhamShot which is immediately followed by a Wham Line from the BigBad.
358-->"Useful as ever, Detective."
359* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyI'': Not a conversation line, but an area name (specifically, that of the fifth and final non-postgame stratum): ''Lost Shinjuku''. This establishes that not only does the game take place AfterTheEnd, but after the end of a ''modern {{Earth|AllAlong}}''.
360* ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}'':
361** You spend most of the story in the dark about the monsters. In the beginning, they seem like nothing more than an extremely dangerous type of predator on [[DeathWorld Shear]]. But then the hunters start piecing things together...
362-->'''Hank:''' Maggie, you've fought these monsters before, haven't you?\
363'''Caira:''' Sometimes they leave the humans alone, but they ''always'' go for the Patterson tech.
364** And then Kala joined the team, who had both years of experience studying the monsters and a direct link to their minds. If she got downed near a monster, the connection would overwhelm her and she would speak their thoughts. The results were... illuminating.
365--->'''Kala:''' We will nucleate a true vacuum! This abnormality will be erased!\
366'''Kala:''' The boundary of stability is wrong! We are the universe righting itself!\
367'''Kala:''' Life is order, but all is chaos! It must be!
368* ''VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}}'':
369** "A Mayan sacrifice. That's what it was."
370** Also in the chapter, "Where is Jade?".
371--->"The truth is, you are dead, Lucas."
372* ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'', with its hundreds of tales to tell and multiple branching paths, naturally has several, varying depending on the point from which you're approaching. But one of the best outright breaks the fourth wall to warn you of the amount of suffering on the horizon if you follow a certain questline:
373-->''No customer support is available from this point onwards''
374* ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', in the ''Broken Steel'' add-on, you begin the first quest by assaulting one of the Enclave's last strongholds. As [[HumongousMecha Liberty Prime]] is breaking into the base, though, alarms go off and he delivers this doozy.
375-->'''Prime:''' Warning! Red Chinese [[KillSat orbital strike]] detected!
376* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'':
377** When you finally deliver the Platinum Chip to Mr. House, he invites you to the basement where a couple of Securitrons demonstrate their standard weaponry you've seen them using already. Then, House reveals what the Chip actually does:
378--->'''House:''' What you did not know is that these are the Securitrons' ''secondary'' weapons. All this time, my Securitrons have had to get by running the Mark I operating system, which lacked software drivers for their primary weapons. Today, with the delivery of the Platinum Chip, all that changes. Behold, for the first time, [[TookALevelInBadass Securitrons running the Mark II OS]]!
379** A fairly amusing one that can be delivered by the [[PlayerCharacter Courier]] in the Wild Card ending, after convincing General Oliver to stand down:
380--->'''Courier:''' I see. Yes Man, throw General Oliver off the dam.
381* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'':
382-->'''Father:''' I am... your son.
383* Late in ''VideoGame/FarCry1'', your VoiceWithAnInternetConnection Doyle orders Jack to take what he claims is a vaccine to the Trigen mutagen. He battles his way through the final dungeon and kills the BigBad Dr. Krieger, all while slowly succuming to the mutagen, and then demands to know where the antidote is, and the ensuing exchange reveals that Doyle has betrayed you.
384-->'''Dr. Krieger:''' Who infected you?\
385'''Jack:''' We entered a toxic area.\
386'''Dr. Krieger:''' The mutagen can only be administered through subdermal injection.
387* ''VideoGame/FarCry4''
388-->'''Pagan Min:''' It's yours. It's always been yours. Kyrat is yours. I pulled you off the bus in the first place to pass it on to you.
389* ''VideoGame/FarCry5''
390-->'''Hope County Sheriff Dispatch:''' [[TheMole Yes, Father. Praise be to you.]]
391* ''VideoGame/FarCry6'' (Control DLC)
392-->'''Pagan Min:''' So, beneath this palace is [...] an enormous fucking vault of nuclear weapons, a fuckton of them. Pointed right at America. Probably, I don't know, [[VideoGame/FarCry5 somewhere near Montana]], [[VideoGame/FarCryNewDawn to be exact]]...
393* ''VideoGame/FateExtra'':
394-->'''Shinji Matou:''' "I'm only [[YoungerThanTheyLook eight years old]]!"
395* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'':
396** Fou revealling its true identity:
397--->'''Fou:''' I am the embodiment of comparison. I am the Beast that feeds on the energies that come from humans who grow and compete, who envy others' strength, who regret their own weakness. I am the Beast who stands over any and all opponents. I am Cath Palug, a Beast of Disaster. In a different world, I was called "Primate Murder."[[note]]Fou is the RidiculouslyCuteCritter TeamPet and SeriesMascot of ''Fate/Grand Order'', and seemed to be completely harmless aside from his comedic abuse of Merlin. Primate Murder is part of the backstory of the much earlier Nasuverse visual novel ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' and [[NamesToRuNawayFromReallyFast as the name implies]] one of the most notorious killers in the entire franchise. Fou being one of the seven Beasts who threaten the extinction of humanity was surprising enough, but being an AlternateSelf of Primate Murder was quite the shocker to longtime fans of the franchise.[[/note]]
398** In Lostbelt 7, just after the group has expended absolutely ''tremendous'' effort to kill [[EldritchAbomination ORT]] and is finally experiencing relief:
399--->'''Trimestigius II''': Misuse of simulated Proper Human History registered. Summarization: a strange tale of human history spanning 300,000,000 years. Construction of a Virtual Heroic Spirit using these factors confirmed. Biological classification: One Radiance Thing. Grand Servant: Class Foreigner. [[OhCrap ORT is being summoned]].[[note]]Basically, even after being killed, ORT hacked the Throne of Heroes and turned itself into a Heroic Spirit with 300 million years of history, and then proceeded to summon itself back into existence. The number of ways this should be completely impossible by the series' rules of magic is too numerous to count, but ORT is just THAT powerful.[[/note]]
400* ''VideoGame/{{FEAR}}'':
401** Paxton Fettel's words: "You and I were born from the same mother."
402** After the credits, the very last words in the game. "There is some good news, however. The first prototype was a complete success." Spoken by Genevieve Aristide, the president of Armacham.
403* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'':
404** In what is probably a record, [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 the second game]] scored ''two'' Wham Lines in its ''trailer'':
405--->'''Phone Guy:'''[[note]]Phone Guy was supposed to have died during the first game[[/note]] Hello? Hellooooo? Well, if you're hearing this, then chances are you've made a very poor career choice.\
406[[OhCrap AND ZERO DOORS.]]
407** And in the second game's story:
408--->"11-12-1987" (This date is written on the player character's check, indicating that the second game is in fact a [[StealthSequel Stealth]] [[InvertedTrope Prequel]] to the first, as well as hinting at a connection to [[NoodleIncident the Bite of '87]].)
409** The final phone call in the second game puts quite a few key events from the franchise's backstory into perspective (the most startling lines in bold):
410--->'''Phone Guy:''' Hello hello? Uh... what on earth are you doing there? Uh... Didn't you get the memo? Uh... The place is closed down, at least for a while. Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, '''a yellow one'''; someone used it... Now none of them are acting right. Listen, j-just finish your shift. It's safer than trying to leave in the middle of the night. Uh... We have one more event scheduled for tomorrow: '''a birthday'''. You'll be on day shift. Wear your uniform. '''[[BrainFood Stay close to the animatronics]]''' and make sure they don't hurt anyone, okay? Uh, for now just make it through the night. Uh, when the place eventually opens again, '''I'll probably take the night shift myself'''. Okay, good night and good luck.
411** From [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 the third game]], after a very uneventful Night 1, the second phone call you receive has this:
412--->'''Phone Dude:''' But I have an even better surprise for you and you're not gonna believe this - we found one. A REAL one.
413** And again in the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4''.
414--->'''The Child's BigBrotherBully:''' Hey guys, I think the little man said he wants to give Fredbear a [[BrainFood big kiss]]!
415** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'' has one in the ''opening narration'':
416--->"With all due respect, ''those'' aren't the design choices we were curious about, [[CanonImmigrant Mr.]] [[Literature/FiveNightsAtFreddysTheSilverEyes Afton]]."
417** And again in the canon ending:
418--->"[[DeadPersonImpersonation Circus Baby has already been here today.]]"
419** And another one from ''Sister Location'', specifically from [[SequelHook the cutscene you unlock after beating]] [[HarderThanHard the hardest difficulty of Custom Night]]:
420--->"Father. [[ArcWords It's me]], Michael. I did it. I found it. It was right where you said it would be. They were all there. They didn't recognize at first, but then they thought I was you. And I found her. [[ArcWords I put her back together]], just like you asked me to. She's free now. But something is wrong with me. I should be dead. [[CameBackWrong But I'm not.]] I've been living in shadows. There is only one thing left for me to do now. I'm going to come find you. ''[[ElectronicSpeechImpediment I'm going to come find you.]]''"\
421(Cue a [[WhamShot split-second appearance of]] the damaged, but still intact ''[[TheBusCameBack Springtrap]]'')
422** From the Good Ending of ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'', [[FaceHeelTurn Scrap Baby's]] speech at the end of the game is cut off with...
423--->'''Cassette Man:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Connection terminated.]] I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth - if you still even remember that name - but I'm afraid you've been misinformed.
424* ''VideoGame/{{Freelancer}}'':
425-->"Bounty Hunters, cease fire! These two are under the [[TheCavalry protection]] of the [[SpacePirates Lane Hackers]]!
426** When Colonel Kress reveals who he is working for:
427--->'''Colonel Kress:''' The Order.
428* In ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'', everyone is lead to believe that Adam Fenix, Marcus Fenix’s father, has been dead for a decade and a half. But then at the end of the credits of the second game, a radio transmission is heard:
429-->'''Adam Fenix:''' This is Adam Fenix. Can you hear me? This is Adam Fenix. Is anyone out there? This is Adam Fenix... What have you done?
430* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'':
431** The "Unreconciled Stars" event has two:
432*** In Part III, the heroes run into the mystery man they encountered in Part II only for Mona to suddenly teleport everyone away. It turns out she had a ''very'' good reason.
433---->[[MyNameIsQuestionMarks ???]]: The first time the Millelith were present. I had to forgo the chance to strike down Monstadt's savior. This time was the perfect moment... I was mere seconds away...\
434'''[[BossSubtitles Scaramouche]]'''\
435''[[RedBaron Balladeer]]''\
436''[[QuirkyMinibossSquad The Sixth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers]]''
437*** In Part IV, the heroes meet Scaramouche again as he's investigating the meteorite core in Musk Reef. He then tells a realization that "the skies are a lie", or as Mona phrases it, "fake skies".
438* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'': The ending offers up a ''whammy'', right after the very last puzzle in the game.
439-->''' Yomiel:''' Well... it looks like HIS fate just changed in a big way.\
440'''Sissel:''' Whose?\
441''' Yomiel:''' That kitten's, of course. Sissel's.
442* You've finished ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', then you get this message:
443-->''[[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle This room is an illusion and is a trap...]]''
444* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'':
445** ''VideoGame/GodOfWar2'' has this line which explains Zeus's actions throughout this game.
446-->'''Athena:''' Because of fear Kratos. A fear felt by his father, Cronos. A fear that naught the Great War. A fear that drove Zeus to kill you. His own son.\
447'''Kratos:''' His son?\
448'''Athena:''' Just as Zeus was compelled to destroy his father, Cronos. [[ViciousCycle You are compelled to do the same]]. No son should destroy his own father.
449** Before that, after Kratos accidentally kills a member of his own army and demands what he was doing at the temple, the Spartan has only this to say:
450--->'''The Last Spartan:''' Sparta is no more.
451** ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'':
452*** When Kratos and Atreus meet Mimir at the top of the mountain in Midgard, Atreus explains that Faye wanted them to scatter her ashes from the highest peak in all the realms. Mimir's response?
453--->'''Mimir''': Oh, then you've come to the wrong place, little brother. The highest peak in all the realms is not here in Midgard. It's in Jotunheim, realm of the giants.
454*** Atreus falls fatally ill partway through the game, and Kratos has to retrieve the cure in the Norse realm of the dead, Helheim. But he is then warned that his frost axe will be useless to the Hel-Walkers roaming the land, and therefore he'll need to find "something else." In response, he says:
455--->'''Kratos''': Then I must return home. ''(looks down at his forearm and strokes the scars there left by the [[IconicItem Blades of Chaos]])'' Dig up a past I swore would stay buried.
456*** During the ending, after learning that his mother was a Giant, which makes him half-Giant, Atreus drops this bombshell:
457--->'''Atreus''': My name on the wall. The Giants called me... Loki?
458** ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'':
459*** When Kratos goes to see the Norns and they reveal that he is going to die, Mimir retorts that they earlier called Kratos "the destroyer of fate", so surely there has to be some way to ScrewDestiny. They then drop a Wham Line that dismantles and changes the context of most of the entire franchise.
460--->'''Urd''': [[SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate There is no destiny, Puck.]] [...] There is no grand design, no script. Only the choices you make. That your choices are ''so'' predictable merely makes ''[[TheSocialExpert us]]'' seem prescient.
461* ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}} V'' -- Stage 2 starts off as a brief space segment, but then:
462-->'''Vic Viper's computer:''' "Warning: There is a space-time anomaly forming. Two objects have emerged. Ship identification code cannot be processed for the large craft. The other is ''Vic Viper T-301''."
463* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'':
464** From ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity''
465--->'''Sonny Forelli:''' At least someone in your chickenshit organization knows how to do business, isn't that right, Lance?
466** From ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'', on the Deal ending path:
467--->'''Assassin:''' Niko Bellic? A gift from Dimitri Rascalov.
468** From ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', from Trevor to Michael, shedding light on the events of the game's ActionPrologue:
469--->'''Trevor:''' Let me just ask you something, all right, something I've been thinking about. Up in North Yankton, exactly ''who'' was buried in your place?
470* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGearStrive'': One specific for the game's BigBad [[DarkActionGirl I-no]], a woman who has become a StrawNihilist because she believes constant creation and erasure of timelines has rendered all of her memories pointless and nothing is actually real:
471-->'''[[StarCrossedLovers Axl Low:]]''' [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay I can't get anything out but tears!]]
472[[/folder]]
473
474[[folder:H-M]]
475* ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' is relatively straightforward with a team of scientists accidentally opening a rift to another dimension that leads to an alien invasion of Earth. Except for the [[TheMenInBlack mysterious man with the suitcase]] who shows up all over the game, sometimes unlocking doors for Gordon Freeman and sometimes blocking his way, until revealing at the end that everything turned out just as his "employers" intended, and then puts him into suspended animation until he needs him again. In ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' he sets Gordon Freeman loose and manipulates things in the background again, hinting that there had been several parties that were interested in securing his services. The real whammer comes in the middle of ''Episode Two'' when he implants a message into the mind of the daughter of the scientist who led the experiment that resulted in the alien invasion.
476--> '''G-Man:''' "When you see your... ''father''... relay these words: ''Prepare for unforeseen consequences''."
477** Which gets an even bigger punch as you have to be a huge fan of the first game that was released ''12 years earlier'' since "Unforeseen Consequences" is the name of the level immediately after the experiment goes wrong and aliens invade through the dimensional rift.
478** Shortly before that while speaking into Gordon Freeman's mind, he is shown sitting on the computer of the security guard who first mentioned that on the day of the experiment the computer system of the facility was going crazy, but "seemed back to normal", revealing that he wasn't just opportunistic in using the dimensional rift for the goals of his employers, but actually created it on purpose.
479*** Immediately after the above line is delivered, the aforementioned scientist tells Gordon that he was told to "prepare for unforeseen consequences" right before the experiment began.
480----> '''Eli:''' You know who I'm talking about. Our mutual ''friend''.
481*** This is the first time someone has acknowledged the existence of the G-Man. Eli also tells Gordon that the G-Man brought the crystal used in the experiment to Black Mesa in the first place, confirming the earlier hints that he was responsible for the disaster.
482* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' has some:
483** ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'':
484--->'''Cortana:''' You don't know what this thing does, do you? Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food. Humans, Covenant, whatever - we're all equally edible! The only way to stop the Flood is to [[DepopulationBomb starve them to death]].
485*** There's one after Cortana learns that the Covenant have discovered something on the ring that they are afraid of...
486---->'''Master Chief:''' Something buried? Where-\
487'''Cortana:''' The Captain! ''We've got to stop the Captain!''
488** ''VideoGame/Halo2'':
489--->'''343 Guilty Spark:''' Failsafe protocol: In the event of unexpected shutdown, the entire system will move to standby status. All platforms are now ready for remote activation.\
490'''Commander Keyes:''' Remote activation? ...Where would someone go to activate the other rings?\
491'''343 Guilty Spark:''' Why, The Ark, of course.\
492'''Arbiter:''' And where, Oracle, is that?\
493''(AnswerCut to Truth's Ship, which appears near Earth)''
494** Before that, there's TheReveal that the Prophets ordered the Brutes to betray the Arbiter and the rest of the Elites.
495--->'''Arbiter:''' When the Prophets learn of this, they'll take your head!\
496'''Tarturus:''' ''When'' they learn? Fool, they ordered me to do it.
497** ''VideoGame/Halo3'':
498--->'''Master Chief:''' That's... our galaxy. We're beyond the rim.\
499'''Mendicant Bias:''' I SEE YOU, RECLAIMER.\
500'''Mendicant Bias:''' I'll tell you who I am. I am Mendicant Bias. This is what I have done.\
501'''Mendicant Bias:''' '''NO. THERE IS MORE. BUT YOU ARE NOT WORTHY. NOT YET.'''\
502'''343 Guilty Spark:''' You are the child of my makers. Inheritor of all they left behind! You ''are'' Forerunner! But this ring... '''''[[RedEyesTakeWarning IS MINE!]]'''''
503** ''VideoGame/Halo4'':
504--->'''Cortana:''' I was put into service over eight years ago... [=AIs=] deteriorate after seven.\
505'''Ur-Didact:''' Time was your ally, human. But now it has abandoned you. The Forerunners... have returned.
506** Remember how the Spartans are always touted as humanity's best soldiers, groomed from a young age to be perfect, obedient killing machines? Now consider the Master Chief's response when ordered - not asked, ''ordered'' by a superior officer - to hand over Cortana for termination.
507--->'''Chief:''' [[UndyingLoyalty No, sir.]]
508* In ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', there's "I wonder why he lied about going straight home...?"
509* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'': "Don't forget about me...Scottie."
510* ''VideoGame/HerStory''
511-->'''SB:''' So... you think you understand why your mother did what she did?
512* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic III'': In the cutscene before "For King And Country," the last mission of the main campaign, Catherine Ironfist reveals a surprising secret.
513-->'''Queen Catherine''': There is one more order you must follow without question. Lord Haart must not die. [[TheMole He is our traitor]].
514* ''VideoGame/TheHex'': The radio the player turns on in ''Walk'' reveals one of the biggest twists in the game.
515-->'''Developer Confessionary:''' SUPER WEASEL KID WAS NOT MY FIRST GAME. THAT WAS A LIE. COME AND SEE MY FIRST GAME.
516* ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'': Secondary protagonist Peppermint is the leading LaResistance against Vandelay Technologies, but is shown to hold the company's founder, Roxanne Vandelay, in high regard, while resenting Kale, Roxanne's son and successor. At the end of the museum raid, she gets enraged at a display claiming Kale single-handedly developed artificial limb technology, leading to this line that reveals why the mission is so personal to her:
517-->'''Peppermint:''' Kale didn't develop all that technology. I know this because [[ArtificialLimbs this leg]]... ''my mom'' made it for me.
518* In ''VideoGame/HometownStory'', you first meet one of the main characters (and possible future spouse if you play as a girl) when he comes to buy toys at your store. Eventually, while going into the town entrance during a certain part of the day, you find the guy being confronted by some villagers. When your animal companion asks what is happening, the only other recognizable character at the scene tells you that the toy guy apparently killed someone; it fortunately quickly turns out that it was a FailureToSaveMurder and that the toys were for the very young victim's grave.
519* In ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2'', if the player starts the infamous [[DownerEnding Conquest End]], '' [[TheHero Nepgear]]'' gets to say this one line that tells us what kind of an ending it will be:
520-->''' Nepgear:''' What if we gathered all of the nations' shares into one big share?
521* ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaV'' has the following:
522-->''' Peashy:''' Bwaaah! What's going on? I'm all tiny now!
523** What should have been a simple fight against Vert becomes a candidate for ThatOneBoss starts with this and [[HilarityEnsues it is hilarious]]:
524--->'''Vert:''' Hmhmhmm. While you were all having your silly argument, this happened...\
525''' [[FaceHeelTurn Nepgear]]:''' Vert is my big sister now. I am Vert's loyal little sister.
526* ''VideoGame/HypnospaceOutlaw'' has a big one around the midpoint of the game's story, after the player suffers a catastrophic system crash, representing the point where the game goes from a mere internet simulator to a thriller involving a sinister conspiracy.
527-->''The California teen hacker responsible for the "Year 2000 Mindcrash" virus that left at least [four/five/six] Hypnospace users dead has become the first juvenile charged in federal court with manslaughter by way of computer hacking. Tim Randal Stevens, who went by the handle "[=T1MAGEDDON=]" in Hypnospace, will serve up to six years in a federal prison for the crime.''
528* ''VideoGame/{{Ib}}'' has a major one, in a book that you find in the Violet Area:
529-->'''[[BigBadFriend 'Mary' (----)]]''' - The last work of Guertena's life. While the girl appears almost lifelike, naturally, she is not based on a real person.
530* ''VideoGame/IdolManager'': If the PlayerCharacter joins Fujimoto for dinner after giving him money a second time, Fujimoto brings up a child that he once ended up providing for because their mother got pregnant with them in the process of stealthily selling her body to help him out of a financial crunch. Then, through variable phrasing depending on how the player asks to know more about the topic, it turns that the incident happened quite a while ago and the child grew up to become the PlayerCharacter's rival.
531* ''VideoGame/IMissTheSunrise'':
532-->'''Willis:''' [Typelog] must have traced back the sabotage of the Mind/Matter Interface project to [[TheMole our agent on the inside.]]
533** Later, there is a wham ''word'': In Ivoronus' final scene, you get a piece of paper with their name on it. It's "PRIME", the name that #1213 gave to their most beloved creation.
534* ''VideoGame/TheImpossibleQuiz'' sets up one at the very end to royally piss off every player who [[UnwinnableByDesign uses even one skip in the quiz at all]]. [[NintendoHard Which is most if not all un-spoiled players who reach the final question.]] That you're told this information ''only'' upon reaching the final question adds greatly to the screw-you factor.
535--> Ok, so this is the last question. It is potentially the easiest question there is... or your worst NIGHTMARE depending on how you've played the quiz. GOOD LUCK!\
536'''USE YOUR SKIPS!'''
537* ''VideoGame/ImpostorFactory'' introduces us to the son of Quincy Reynard and Lynri. We don't hear her surname until very late in the game, when deciding to have their son take her name instead of his, and thus being dubbed Neil Watts - linking this story to the previous games.
538* ''VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}}'':
539-->'''Cole:''' What do you want me to tell Moya?\
540'''John:''' Who's Moya?
541** Kessler's last words, heavily hinting at what links him and Cole together:
542--->"Trish, I love you. Forgive me."
543** And after that, the link between Cole and Kessler is finally established:
544--->'''Cole:''' Yet the thing that drove him forward...Kessler's sole link to the past, was a picture from his wedding day...\
545when he married Trish, with Zeke as his best man...
546* ''VideoGame/InFamous2'' delivers a surprise one from the BigBad:
547-->'''The Beast:''' Humanity is ''dead.'' Help me save what I can.
548* ''VideoGame/InFamousSecondSon'': After Delsin finally manages to absorb Augustine's powers, Augustine points out something he failed to consider.
549-->'''Augustine:''' This is what you wanted, you win! We both have the same power! Only difference is...I've had seven years to practice! ''(cue Augustine going OneWingedAngel while Delsin is [[ShapeshifterModeLock locked into a powerset]] he can't properly utilize)''
550* ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'':
551** For much of the game, your goal is to rescue your master, Sun Li, from the Emperor. Once you succeed, he will say this to you.
552--->"Your abilities have grown immensely. But it also does my heart good to see that you have remembered the basics of what I taught. [[TreacherousAdvisor Even]] [[{{Sabotutor}} the]] [[OhCrap flaws]]." ''(kills the PlayerCharacter)''
553** Early on in the game, after the attack on Two Rivers by the Lotus Assassins, Sagacious Zu will say "[[DefectorFromDecadence I...I was one]]" immediately after talking about them (the context varies based on your dialogue choice).
554** If the player made the right choices when talking with Sagacious Zu, he will conclude his final conversation with you with the following revelation about his role in the mission to kill Sun Li's wife and child.
555-->"My fate is sealed, but one secret must live on. I killed them all, my fellow Assassins. I would not let them finish their mission. Master Li's child still lives."
556** At the end of the Aishi the Mournful Blade quest, the old man who gave you the quest will tell you, " Aishi the Mournful Blade was my daughter." Aishi said [[DisappearedDad her father was dead]], so this [[DeadAllAlong reveals him to be a lingering spirit]].
557** At the end of the quest to free Lord Lao, you hear the following from Kang, the one who sent you on the quest in the first place, who speaks about Lord Lao.
558--->'''Kang:''' He is free. He is... somewhat disoriented by the process. Oh, and there is perhaps something else you should be aware of. Uh, he is me.
559* From ''VideoGame/JakIIRenegade'':
560-->'''Metal Head leader:''' Don't you recognize him? The boy is ''you'', Jak.
561* In ''VideoGame/{{Judgment}}'', after Hamura has finally gotten pissed off enough to reveal the identity of [[SerialKiller The Mole]]:
562-->'''Hamura:''' [[DirtyCop Kuroiwa]] from Kamurocho PD! He's [[ProfessionalKiller the Mole]].
563* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'': Medusa has been defeated. The world is at peace, the [[{{Retraux}} 8-bit credits are rolling]], and Pit and Palutena are [[EverybodyLaughsEnding sharing a good laugh]]. And then...
564-->'''[[TheManBehindTheMan Hades]]:''' [[DontCelebrateJustYet Now wait just a second.]]
565** Then in [[WhamEpisode Chapter 18]]:
566--->'''Pit:''' (to Magnus) It feels like just yesterday we were fighting together.\
567'''Magnus:''' Yesterday? Try ''[[TimeSkip three years, buddy!]]''
568*** Which is immediately followed by:
569---->'''Magnus:''' How's this for starters? [[HeroWithBadPublicity You've become]] [[FaceHeelTurn the enemy]] [[FightingYourFriend of mankind!]]
570* A couple in ''VideoGame/Killer7''.
571** Sunset, pretty much right off the bat after the opening, gives a scene that cultimates in this:
572--->'''Spencer:''' "Mr. President? This is Spencer speaking, sir. 200 pulsars have been fired towards Japan."
573** Why did Ulmeyda ask the assassins to find him?
574--->'''Ulmeyda:''' "I...I...I want you to kill me. If I catch Heaven Smile, you gotta kill me! I heard you're the only one who ''can'' kill them!"
575** In Smile, Part 1, we get this:
576---> '''Mills:''' "...OK. 30 years ago, you and Harman -" Mills proceeds to get shot multiple times before the line can be finished.
577* ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}}'' has one that has surprisingly little impact on the plot, when Templar and co. finally rescue Colonel Hakha after spending about half the game in pursuit of that goal.
578--> '''[[TheSneakyGuy Luger]]:''' [[DidntSeeThatComing He's Helghast.]]
579** And a little later...
580---> '''[[TheSmartGuy Hakha]]:''' It can't be... the computer under Helghast control. [[FromBadToWorse It's]] [[TheMole General Adams']] [[EvilAllAlong personal computer.]]
581** And one of the final lines of ''Killzone 2.''
582---> '''ISA soldier:''' [[FromBadToWorse Helghast]] [[OhCrap ships!]]
583** And the last lines of ''Killzone 3''...
584--->'''Jammer:''' Guys, I'm not reading any comms traffic.\
585'''Rico:''' [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint I know. We took out the whole fleet.]]\
586'''Jammer:''' I mean ''nothing'', man. [[InferredHolocaust The entire planet is silent.]]\
587'''Sev:''' [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Jesus,]] [[DownerEnding how many people were down there?]]
588* ''VideoGame/KinitoPet'' has one that happens if you're using OBS to record or stream the game.
589---> '''Kinito:''' Why have you been recording me?
590** Even if you're not using OBS, the next line still happens, though the tone depends on if you are or not.
591---> '''Kinito:''' [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Can I see your face?]]
592* ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' series:
593** ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'', in the Milky Way Wishes subgame:
594--->'''Nova:''' READY. ->\
595'''Nova:''' I WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH. ->\
596'''Marx:''' [[EvilAllAlong Well, I want to control Pop Star!]]
597** ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'': In a similar vein to Marx, after supposed endgame boss Landia is defeated and the Master Crown is relinquished from them, Magolor suddenly arrives on the scene. Applauding the heroes, [[EvilAllAlong Magolor suddenly snatches the Master Crown, transforms, and announces his intent to take over the universe]].
598---> '''Magolor:''' Ah... at long last, it's mine! The source of limitless power... the Master Crown! Obtaining this crown has been my ultimate goal all along!
599** ''VideoGame/KirbyBattleRoyale'': So Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee have won the Platinum League, defeated King Dedede and his partner, and now they're just about to get their prize of a cake, when suddenly...
600---> '''Dedede:''' [[VillainousBreakdown NO WAY! NOT YET!]]
601** ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'': The impact of this line comes mainly from the fact that it (and the speech that follows it) is actually [[SuddenlyVoiced voice-acted]], and dubbed in whatever the player's system language is set to:
602--->'''Intercom:''' Automatic language detection...activated.
603** Perhaps the biggest one of all comes from the pause description of [[TrueFinalBoss Void]] in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions of ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', which reveals one of the ''most'' shocking thing of this entire franchise: Void himself ''created the entire Kirby universe.''
604---> Dream, dark, soul, heart... All chaos and possibilities assemble within its substance, being born as [[TheMaker the ancestor and origin of all]].
605* ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'': The Krohnen Team ending in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXV''. Let's just say that reports of a blatant CaptainErsatz being ScrewedByTheLawyers had been greatly exaggerated for ''two decades'':
606-->'''Ángel:''' Ahaha! You've changed, [[TheBusCameBack K9999]]... Not quite so immature anymore, are you?
607* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
608** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'': "It is I, Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness!" It's since become ItWasHisSled, but at the time, this was a huge reveal.
609** ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'' has this:
610--->'''Larxene:''' "Since you entered this castle, you keep forgetting and remembering, because Namine has been tampering with your memories."
611*** Shortly beforehand, Larxene also reveals that the "Riku" Sora been interacting with was a replica created by Vexen.
612---->'''Larxene:''' If it's Riku you're worried about, then worry no longer. Riku was never here. [...] [[ItIsDehumanizing That thing]] lying there is a puppet Vexen made.
613** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''
614*** This line by Tron is the first one that forces Sora and the player to question who the "Ansem" that they've been fighting really is.
615---->'''Tron:''' My user is the user of this system. Ansem the Wise.
616*** Near the end of the battle for Hollow Bastion, Axel reveals that Sora has been unwittingly aiding the Organization all along
617---->'''Axel:''' Way to fall right into their trap. C'mon, it's a set-up by Organization XIII. Xemnas is using you to destroy the Heartless---that's his big master plan.
618*** When Mickey finds Xemnas, he gives a surprising admission about his true identity.
619---->'''Mickey:''' That guy wasn't Ansem; he just went around tellin' everybody he was.
620** ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 358/2 Days]]''
621--->'''Xion:''' Tell me, Roxas...who do you see? If you see a new face, a boy's face, that means that I'm almost ready. [[TearJerker This puppet will have to play her part.]] Roxas...this is him. It's ''Sora''.
622** A rare (for this series) in-battle example from ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth by Sleep]]''
623--->'''Xehanort:''' Only now...have I truly won.
624*** A future plot is set in motion:
625---->'''Terra-Xehanort:''' [[CallForward "This heart belongs again to darkness. All hearts begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it. It grows, consumes it. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came."]]
626** From ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'', a line which redefines a large chunk of the series' lore:
627--->'''Xigbar/Braig:''' Oh, ''thank'' you, Sora's Heart, for leading him right into our clutches. Aren't hearts great? Steer us wrong every time.\
628'''Sora:''' You know, don't you? Because ''you all have hearts''!\
629'''Xigbar/Braig:''' It's about time you noticed.
630*** A second one comes almost ''immediately'' after this one, also involving Organization XIII:
631---->'''Sora:''' [[SelfDuplication Make more Xehanorts?]] [[UnwittingPawn You tricked your friends to]]... But you - aren't you scared of just turning into someone else?\
632'''Xigbar/Braig:''' Me? I'm ''already'' [[GrandTheftMe half Xehanort.]]\
633'''Sora:''' [[LampshadeHanging That's nuts...]]
634** Heck, two in a row come in the very first cutscene of the game (after the opening):
635--->'''Terra-Xehanort''': I am...\
636'''Braig''': Hey! Do you remember now, or... Wait, did you never lose your memory?\
637'''Terra-Xehanort''': That's not my name. I'm not "Xehanort." My name... is Ansem.
638** And another from Axel some time later:
639--->'''Axel''': Dilan, Aeleus, Even, Ienzo - We're people again.
640** Within the game's plot itself, the first indication that things are not as they appear comes in Sora's The Grid.
641--->'''Young Xehanort''': You think this is the realm of dreams, but there, you are mistaken. Data does not dream, cannot dream. This world is real. You haven't the slightest idea where you are - that you have already wandered off the path.
642** In case you didn't get the hint, Xigbar spells it out much later.
643--->'''Xigbar''': Hey. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Let's hit these plot points in order,]] Sora... Roxas. First, you must be wondering about your revised itinerary. "Why am I here, not back home?" The answer's simple. We brought you to this place! Hijacked your little slumber party before it started. And ever since, we've been both your companions and your constant guides.
644** Another one comes during Riku's The World That Never Was:
645--->'''Riku''': No. This is a...\
646'''Xehanort's Heartless''': Dream of a dream. A twofold nightmare. This whole journey, you have been inside Sora's dreams. And now darkness within darkness awaits you.
647** And then, a few minutes later, it's spelled out:
648--->'''Xehanort's Heartless''': At the start of your test, when you struck out from that tiny island, you saw me there dressed in a robe. Immediately you knew something was wrong, so without even knowing it, you dove into Sora's dream. And you became exactly what that sigil on your back represents - a Dream Eater to protect Sora from nightmares.
649--->'''Riku''': Me? I'm a Dream Eater?
650** From ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Mickey and Riku have finally found Aqua in the Realm of Darkness, but...
651--->'''Aqua:''' Mickey...[[FaceHeelTurn you're]] [[DemonicPossession too]] [[YouAreTooLate late.]]
652** Xemnas drops a bombshell midway through the game, speaking to Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia and Larxene:
653--->'''Xemnas''': You four are going to reveal your greatest secret: the ancient Keyblade legacy that slumbers within you.
654** During the final battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, Xehanort's Guardian speaks for the first time, and says Terra's final line from ''Birth by Sleep'', confirming that he was Terra's Heartless all along.
655--->'''Guardian:''' One day... I... will... set... this... right...
656** Throughout the game, the other characters and the player had believed that the Dark Riku in the real Organization XIII was a past version of Riku from when he was possessed by Ansem. Then, in the Keyblade Graveyard, this happens.
657--->'''Dark Riku''': You're not...real...\
658'''Riku''': Huh?\
659'''Dark Riku''': I'm...the real one...\
660'''Riku''': Aren't you my past self? From when Ansem possessed me?\
661'''Riku Replica''': No, you beat Ansem and you're still here. This guy...is me!
662** The epilogue from ''Kingdom Hearts III'' also has a whammy:
663--->'''Ira:''' Is that you, Luxu? You look different.\
664'''[[TheManInFrontOfTheMan Xigbar]]:''' Haven't heard that name in a long while.
665* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'' has a world based on ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', which, naturally, features Maleficent. You play through the world, which is a standard retelling of the movie, but then afterwards, Maleficent drops a line that shows things are not what they seem...
666-->'''Maleficent:''' Why...! Why does the ending... ...never alter!?
667** The same game also turns a ''catchphrase'' into a WhamLine. Two of the new Union leaders have been revealed, and they're awaiting the arrival of the third. The third soon arrive, and Ephemer talks to them, though we don't see who it is. After a while, Ephemer introduces himself and asks the new arrival their name, and the camera pulls back to reveal a VERY familiar face (keep in mind this game is set in the distant past).
668--->'''Ventus:''' I'm Ventus. Call me Ven.
669** Mission 555 of ''Union Cross'' has a massive one, not so much for what's said, but the fact that it's spoken by the '''''player character''''', who up until now had been a silent protagonist (barring a couple short lines here and there).
670--->'''Player''': This whole thing was my idea. I was the one who wanted to look for Ephemer, and for good reason. You see, I've gone to different worlds to gather Lux; a lot of effort has gone into the contributions to my Union. I've even had to fight those I consider my friends. I've done everything that was expected of me without a second thought. And then I met Ephemer. We didn't know each other for very long, but he left a lasting impression. Not all of our memories are good ones; in fact, he even broke one of our promises. No matter what happened, I knew we were still friends. But you took him away from me. I feel sad, I feel angry, I feel hurt. Maybe that means I have darkness in my heart; I don't care. But I can't let you get away with what you did to my friend. Even if I have to fight you, even if I don't stand a chance, even if I may disappear... I will because I know in my heart that Ephemer would do the same if he were here. Master X (who it is depends on which Union you are), I mean no disrespect, but this is something I must do.
671** The player character gets another one in the final mission. After being possessed by one of the Darknesses and defeating Ephemer and Skuld, Ephemer uses the last of his strength to send the player through a gate. Later, we see the player lying on the floor, surrounded by the other Darknesses, who tell the Darkness inside them to discard "that brittle human vessel." Then...
672--->'''Player''': [[NotBrainwashed I didn't think tricking you guys would be so easy. Are all of you this gullible?]]
673** From the ending of [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road]]:
674--->'''Bragi/Braig/Luxu:''' You think you're strong enough to beat me? [[{{Catchphrase}} As if!]]
675* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}: Door to Phantomile'': Huepow makes a sudden statement in the ending that reveals something important about a major character, recontextualizing significant segments of the game immediately. It's that Klonoa is not actually from Phantomile, [[TomatoInTheMirror he's a warrior from another dimension who was summoned and given]] FakeMemories ''[[ManipulativeBastard by Huepow]]'' to save a world he was never even a part of. Moreover, when Lephise sings her Song of Rebirth and removes everything that doesn't belong in Phantomile, Klonoa will be among them. [[TheWoobie The poor kid]] [[TearJerker does not take the news well]].
676-->'''Huepow''': You're actually... you're really... You don't really exist in this world! I called you from your world... so we could restore the balance of dreams! It's true! This world is not your reality!
677* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'': As a capper to the FlashbackMontageRealization:
678-->'''Darth Malak''': [[PlayerCharacter You]] cannot hide from what you once were, [[PredecessorVillain Revan]].
679* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'':
680** On Peragus, the player character finds recordings of a miner named Coorta conspiring to hand them over to the Exchange, and apparently being in cahoots with the maintenance officer. This line reveals the identity of their accomplice- the HK-50 droid the player encountered previously.
681--->'''Maintenance Officer''': [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Statement]]:[[note]]HK-47 and other droids of his type, includng this HK-50 unit, begin lines of dialogue with words declaring the tone and intent of what they are about to say[[/note]] You are a risk, Coorta. You are impulsive, crude, and soon, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness deceased]].
682** This line from the endgame sheds new light on Kreia's identity.
683--->'''Kreia:''' Know that there was once a Darth Traya. And that she cast aside that role, was exiled, and found a new purpose. But there must always be a [[LegacyCharacter Darth Traya, one that holds the knowledge of betrayal. Who has been betrayed in their heart, and will betray in turn]].
684* ''VideoGame/LANoire'' in case, "Manifest Destiny":
685-->''Your wife's attorney has pictures of you and the German.''
686* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs''
687** After Ellie and David fight off a group of infected, they sit down to eat together. This line changes everything the player initially thought about David, confirming that he was connected to the men Joel and Ellie fought in the University.
688--->'''David:''' A few weeks back I ah...sent a group of men out to a nearby town to look for food. Only a few came back. They said that the others have been slaughtered by a crazy man. And get this, he was a crazy man traveling with a little girl.
689** At the end of the game, Joel has finished his job and brought Ellie to the Fireflies, who intend to use [[TheImmune her]] to make a vaccine. This exchange after Joel asks to see Ellie, however, reveals the human cost of the vaccine- Ellie's life.
690--->'''Marlene''': You can't. She's being prepped for surgery.\
691'''Joel''': The hell you mean, surgery?\
692'''Marlene''': The doctors tell me that the cordyceps, the growth inside her, has somehow mutated. It's why she's immune. Once they remove it, they'll be able to reverse-engineer a vaccine. A vaccine.\
693'''Joel''': But it grows all over the brain.
694* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'':
695** After Joel and Tommy get acquainted with Abby's group, we get this exchange which solidifies the tone for the rest of the game.
696--->'''Joel:''' Y'all act like you've heard of us or something.\
697'''Abby:''' That's 'cause they have. ''(Shoots Joel in the knee)''
698* ''VideoGame/LastScenario'':
699** Ethan doesn't speak for too much of the first act of the game. Once he gets Hilbert alone on the ''Brunhild'', though...
700--->'''Ethan:''' Hilbert, you... You were being used. You aren't "destined" for anything. You just happened to be their victim. You aren't even related to Alexander. Zawu got that seal from the Havali.
701** After defeating Castor for the second time (and during his ensuing VillainousBSOD):
702--->'''Castor:''' Where... Where are you, brother? Don't leave me, brother!! Wait!! Ethan!!\
703'''[[StunnedSilence Ethan:]]''' [[StunnedSilence ....]]\
704'''Castor:''' No... Don't tell me... You don't recognize me anymore? You... You saved my life!
705* ''VideoGame/LaterAlligator'': In the Bad Ending, the Investigator follows Pat out onto the balcony after the party and takes out his notepad one last time. This is all it says:
706-->'''Notepad:''' [[ProfessionalKiller FINISH THE JOB]]
707* ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain''
708** ''Blood Omen'': He is the last! [Moebius points at Kain and swords are drawn.] Destroy him!
709** ''Soul Reaver'': The blade is vanquished. So it unfolds...and we are a step closer to our destinies.
710** ''Soul Reaver 2'':
711*** "My god...the Hylden...we walked right into their trap. Raziel! Janos must stay dead!"
712*** The even better Wham came shortly before that one: "With all other foes exhausted, the conjoined blades turned themselves on me, and I realised... finally... why I had sensed nothing when Janos had offered me the blade. The Reaver was never forged to be a soul-stealing weapon. The ravenous, soul-devouring entity trapped in the blade was... [[StableTimeLoop and always had been]]... [[TomatoInTheMirror me...]]"
713*** Right from the start, we know that Moebius is untrustworthy. Then, right as Raziel is about to destroy him (in a way that cannot be undone), Moebius mentions the Wheel of Fate, followed swiftly by "we serve the same god, Raziel!". Suddenly, the whole setting takes on a new level of complexity. Again.
714** ''Defiance'': The Soul Reaver, pure of all corruption...this is what it is for. This is what I am for. The two become one...both Soul Reavers...together...and the Scion of Balance is healed...And I am not your enemy...not your destroyer...I am, as before, your right hand...your sword.
715* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
716** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOftime Ocarina of Time]]'':
717*** After Link defeats the monster inside the Great Deku Tree in an attempt to save the Deku Tree's life, this line from the Deku Tree reveals that Link was never going to succeed:
718---->"Thou must never suffer that man, who placed this death curse on me and sapped my power. Because of that curse, my end is nigh..."
719*** Later, after Link returns to the Temple of Time and opens the way to the Sacred Realm:
720---->'''Ganondorf:''' Geh heh heh! Excellent work! As I thought, you held the keys to the Door of Time! You have led me to the gates of the Sacred Realm... Yes, I owe it all to you, kid!
721** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'': When Skull Kid seems to have been defeated, the following line is heard from the ''mask'' worn by him: "Certainly, he had far too many weaknesses to use ''my'' power."
722** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Link's Awakening]]'': "If the Wind Fish wakes up, everything on this island will be gone forever! And I do mean...[[DreamApocalypse EVERYTHING!]]"
723** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'': The game's ''prologue'' has one: "But the hero never came..."
724** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'': When the Goddess Sword, the sword you have wielded for most of the game, has absorbed all three flames and transformed. Fi then says "Master, now that it has been tempered by the last of the sacred flames, your blade has finally revealed its true form. You now hold the '''Master Sword'''."
725* ''VideoGame/LikeADragonInfiniteWealth'': The game drops one as early as its official story trailer, which shows a scene of Kazuma Kiryu, the face of the series and the protagonist for almost 20 real-life years, giving Eric and Ichiban the worst possible news, one that many longtime diehard Like A Dragon/Yakuza fans thought they would '''''never''''' have to hear:
726-->'''Kiryu:''' You can always turn a new leaf, but you can't turn back the clock. All you get is the precious time you're given... I figured I knew that well enough already. But to my surprise, I still had a lot left to learn.\
727'''Eric:''' Uh, Kiryu-san?\
728'''Ichiban:''' Did... something happen?\
729'''Kiryu:''' Yeah... if anyone deserves to know, it's the guys who have my back. [[YouSeeImDying Thing is, I've got cancer]].
730* ''VideoGame/LiveALive'': The end of the eighth chapter cements itself as the StartOfDarkness for its BigBad, Odio, when Oersted, the HeroicMime protagonist of that chapter, [[SuddenlySpeaking finally speaks]] at the end of his TraumaCongaLine.
731-->'' Naught remains. Alone. Utterly alone. Cast out. Unloved. Outside the grace of gods. The Archon's Roost, they call this shrine of death. Yet nowhere do I spy our Lord of Dark. His throne sits empty, wanting for an heir... Did I not do all that was asked? Did I not serve and seek my fair and just reward? And for my deeds, they damn me. Name me demon. And who am I to deny it? Demon, then! Renouncing former ties and titles! And in their place, I claim... The Lord of Dark. Odio!''
732* ''VideoGame/LufiaAndTheFortressOfDoom'':
733-->'''Daos:''' "Erim is Lufia. Lufia is Erim."
734* From ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'':
735-->'''Magic Emperor Ghaleon:''' "Now...who shall be my queen?" (Dramatic close-up on Luna, still stuck in her HeroicBSOD)
736* ''VideoGame/MafiaII'' sees one of its ties to the original ''VideoGame/MafiaTheCityOfLostHeaven'' become clear with this conversation:
737-->'''Vito:''' Mr. Angelo?\
738'''[[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo Tommy Angelo]]:''' [[PlayerPunch Uh, yes?]]\
739'''Vito:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Mr. Salieri sends his regards.]] (Joe [[TheHeroDies shoots Tommy]].)
740* ''VideoGame/MakeItGood'': Context dependent: The player, an investigator, hands a the letter opener to a forensic scientist, and it was mandatory to use gloves while handling it. "On this; no good, Inspector. The only fingerprints we got were yours - you must have handled it without gloves on. However, the blood is the deceased alright."
741* ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}} 2'': "Everything's gonna be alright, honey."
742* ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'':
743** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'':
744*** After Peach arrives, she happens to deliver the following line which reveals her voice was never stolen in the first place.
745---->'''Peach:''' Mario! Luigi!
746*** From the same game, Bowletta (the [[GrandTheftMe unholy fusion]] of Bowser and Cackletta) has this to say when the Mario Bros. reach her castle, thus breaking a ''thirteen-year'' absence on some of the franchise's most beloved characters:
747---->'''Cackletta''': [[QuirkyMinibossSquad KOOPALINGS!]] [[TheBusCameBack YOUR TIME HAS COME!]]
748** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'':
749*** After defeating Princess Shroob, the Bros. are ready to save Peach and complete the [[MineralMacguffin Cobalt Star]]. Cause for celebration? You'd think so...except [[WhamShot Peach avoids the Cobalt Star]] and drops this:
750---->'''Peach:''' I have the final shard right here... With this piece, the Cobalt Star will regain its original shape. ... But... I cannot allow that to happen!
751*** Then, after Baby Bowser shows up and completes the Cobalt Star:
752---->'''Princess Shroob:''' NOW IT'S YOUR TURN... [[SealedEvilInACan SIS...TER!!!]]
753** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'':
754*** After Mario and Luigi defeat the Elite Trio, Kamek, who'd sicced them on the brothers after disguising himself as Peach, is annoyed and sentences the trio to KP duty.
755--->"Hmph. Well... this isn't as much fun as I'd hoped. But... Oh well, who cares? This was just for kicks. Because Bowser already kidnapped the real Peach!"
756*** After [[BigBadDuumvirate working together for most of the game]], Bowser suddenly backstabs Antasma and leaves him to fight the Mario Bros. alone:
757---->'''Bowser:''' Hmph! I don't work well with others!\
758'''Antasma:''' SCREEK! Vut do you mean by this?!\
759'''Bowser:''' I mean you're an idiot! You thought you were using me? ME?! Buddy, I was playing you like a bat fiddle!
760* ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'': [[AC:There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you cannot even imagine it. I am beyond your comprehension. I am Sovereign.]]
761** The ''very next line'' also acts as one:
762--->'''Shepard:''' "Sovereign isn't just some Reaper ship Saren found. [[SapientShip It's an actual Reaper!]]"
763** As well as ''every single word'' that Sovereign says, which forever altered ''any'' ideas anyone had about the story of the games, cementing Sovereign's status as a WalkingSpoiler:
764--->'''Sovereign:''' "[[ArcWords The cycle cannot be broken]]. The pattern has repeated itself more times than you can fathom. Organic civilizations rise, evolve, and at the apex of their glory, they are extinguished. The Protheans were not the first. They did not create the Citadel. They did not forge the mass relays. They merely found them. The legacy of [[AbusivePrecursors my kind]]."
765* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''
766-->'''EDI:''' Only one race is known to have this genetic structure: the Protheans.
767** Later:
768--->'''Geth:''' [[SuddenlySpeaking Shepard-Commander.]]
769** Proving it's never too late for a curveball:
770--->'''EDI:''' Shepard...IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect, the super-structure...''is a Reaper''.\
771'''Shepard:''' Not just any Reaper. A ''human'' Reaper.
772** On Miranda's loyalty mission, you overhear radio reports of Enyala's Eclipse Forces, sent to retrieve Oriana for her and Miranda's father, describing where Oriana's escort, Niket, is, until finally...
773--->'''Enyala:''' Niket has reached the terminal. [[TheMole He'll switch the family over to our transport]].
774* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''
775--> '''Admiral Hackett:''' Nothing's happening. The crucible's not firing.
776** The double whammy from a miner near the beginning of the Leviathan DLC:
777--->'''Miner:''' What's a Reaper?\
778'''Shepard:''' ...what year do you think it is?\
779'''Miner:''' 2176.\
780'''Shepard:''' 2176 was 10 years ago.
781** From the "Citadel" DLC, Clone Shepard reveals that their accomplice has been pretending to be your ally from the start of the DLC:
782--->'''Clone:''' What do you think, Staff Analyst Brooks? Will the Alliance stop us?\
783'''Brooks:''' I wouldn't know. [[TheMole I don't actually work for them.]]
784* ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda''
785** At the very end of the otherwise quite generic second teaser:
786--->''This is Commander Shepard, signing off.''
787* At the end of ''VideoGame/MegaMan7'':
788-->'''Mega Man:''' "I... am... more... than... a... robot! Die, Wily! Die!"\
789'''Bass:''' "He who hesitates is lost!"
790* The ending of ''VideoGame/MegaManX3'': "Dr. Light's plan for him will finally be revealed. Unknown to X, his destiny has already been decided. To save mankind, he must destroy Zero."
791** Earlier on, in ''VideoGame/MegaManX2'':
792--->'''Sigma:''' "But, something is not right. I...don't quite understand...[[AntiAntichrist Why did Zero]]...He is...last...of [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic the doctor's]] creations..."
793** In ''VideoGame/MegaManX5'', if Zero's mission to destroy the colony fails, the virus inside Zero will take over, causing Zero to go Maverick. At least, it seems that way, but Zero's dialogue when X finds him again indicates something different:
794--->'''X''': Zero... You are Zero, aren't you...?
795--->'''Zero''': Hmm... Yes... The energy readings are still the same... and there is no Maverick reading, is there... You are reading my normal data. This is the true form of me...
796** In ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', Lumine, the director of the Jakob Project (the plan to evacuate humans to the moon since the Earth is no longer habitable), is kidnapped by Vile, and spends the game being held hostage by the Mavericks as the Maverick Hunters search for a way to retrieve him. In the final stage, you fight and defeat Sigma as usual. If playing on Easy difficulty, the game ends there, but if playing on Normal or Hard, Lumine enters and delivers a line that not only turns the game's story on its head, but also breaks a series-long tradition after seven games by having Sigma ''not'' be the FinalBoss, or even the main villain.
797--->'''X''': Oh, Lumine. Are you OK?
798--->'''Lumine''': Am I OK? Of course. Now that you've defeated Sigma, I suppose you're satisfied. Thanks to you, the plan has gone smoothly.
799--->'''Axl''': But Lumine, weren't you just used by Sigma?
800--->'''Lumine''': Used? I don't think so. You see, he merely helped my plan along... The new generation Reploids have been awakened, and the new world is at hand!
801* TheReveal at the end of ''VideoGame/MegaManZero 3'':
802-->'''Dr. Weil:''' "Hehehehehe! Excellent, Zero! Your power is extraordinary, ''for a fake''."
803** Perhaps not quite ''as'' shocking, but there's this exchange from the first ''MMZ'', leading right into the final segment of the game:
804--->'''Cyber-Elf X:''' "I'VE CRACKED THE SECURITY SYSTEM OF THE TRANS SERVER...I'M SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO LONG...BUT NOW YOU CAN ENTER NEO ARCADIA WHENEVER YOU WANT." \
805'''Zero:''' "You...You're the one who gave the Z-Saber to me..." \
806'''Cyber-Elf X:''' "NOW GO. TERMINATE THAT COPY OF ME...TERMINATE WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE..."
807* Near the end of the first ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' game:
808-->'''Mega Man Juno:''' Have we met before? Oh, please forgive me. You are a purifier model, assigned to the direct command of Mother. As I recall, you were designated Mega Man Trigger. Please forgive me, I did not recognize you in your current configuration.
809** And then from the sequel, we have this:
810--->'''Mega Man Volnutt:''' The keys!\
811'''Yuna:''' Now this is a problem. She plans on executing the Carbon Reinitialization Program!\
812'''Mega Man Volnutt:''' Carbon Reinitialization Program?\
813'''Yuna:''' Basically, every human alive will be deleted, wiped out, and the Ancients will be restored!\
814'''Mega Man Volnutt:''' [[BigWhat What!?]]
815* The ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series has quite a few:
816** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' has a few:
817*** A big one after Snake enters the third PAL code, revealing that Snake has become an UnwittingPawn in Liquid's plan:
818---->'''Terminal:''' PAL code number three confirmed. PAL code entry complete. Detonation code activated.
819*** There's one near the end of the game, revealing Miller's true identity:
820---->'''Colonel:''' Snake! You've been talking to...\
821'''Master Miller:''' Me... '''dear brother'''!
822*** The very last line of TheStinger after the credits of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', during which Ocelot is calling his superior:
823----> '''Ocelot:''' Yes. [...] Yes. [...] Thank you, '''Mister President'''.
824** ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 2|SonsOfLiberty}}'':
825*** One that kicks off the [[GainaxEnding notorious]] [[Recap/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty final act]]:
826----> '''Snake:''' Change sides? I don't recall ever saying I was on yours.
827*** There's another one in TheStinger:
828---->'''Otacon:''' They're already dead, all twelve of them.\
829'''Snake:''' What? When did it happen?\
830'''Otacon:''' Well...[[AncientConspiracy a hundred years ago.]]\
831'''Snake:''' [[LampshadeHanging What the hell?]]
832** Carrying on the tradition in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'':
833*** During the ending sequence, EVA reveals a shocking truth about The Boss' motivations.
834---->'''EVA:''' Snake, listen to me, [[FakeDefector she didn't betray the United States.]]
835*** During TheStinger:
836---->'''Ocelot:''' I will continue my activities as a contact for the new government. Yes, it appears that no one knew that ''I was ADAM''. Of course. [[TheMole I'm always at the CIA's disposal...Mr. Director.]]
837** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''
838*** Right before the FinalBoss: "Stopped you? Why would I want to do that? [[AllAccordingToPlan This is exactly what I'd hoped for.]]"
839*** Then there's Liquid Ocelot's last words: "You're pretty good."
840*** There's a Wham Line in the ''final credits:'' "BIG BOSS: Richard Doyle" Because at this point, the character had appeared only as an inanimate corpse. Turns out that the corpse was not his, and Big Boss then appears in the stinger.
841** ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''
842--->'''Raiden:''' The bit about my sword - that "[[CodeOfHonour means of justice]]" stuff? I guess I needed something to keep "[[SuperpoweredEvilSide the Ripper]]" in check when [[OneManArmy I was knee-deep in bodies]].\
843'''Monsoon:''' You...\
844'''Raiden:''' But you - [[HeroicBSOD all this - is a wake-up call to what I]] '''[[HeroicBSOD really]]''' [[HeroicBSOD believe.]]\
845'''Monsoon:''' [[OhCrap What are you saying?]]\
846'''Raiden:''' I'm saying that ''[[AxCrazy Jack is]] '''[[UnstoppableRage back]]!'''''
847*** There's also a pretty memorable one in the final boss fight.
848---->'''Raiden:''' WhyWontYouDie\
849'''Senator Armstrong:''' [[MemeticMutation Nanomachines, son!]]
850** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'', there's the opening credits for the true ending, which start off by listing Big Boss... and then end by listing Venom Snake as a separate character.
851* ''VideoGame/Metro2033'':
852-->'''Laser pointer:''' Five seconds before missile detonation.\
853'''Dark One:''' We want to help. We want peace.
854** ''VideoGame/MetroLastLight'':
855--->'''Pavel:''' Sorry, my friend... [[EvilAllAlong But you're on the wrong side of the barricade.]]
856* ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'':
857** In ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', the chirping noise that the giant Metroid makes before it releases Samus serves as a cue for the player that it was the Metroid larva from the beginning of the game.
858** ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'':
859*** The SA-X generally causes a lot of these:
860----> "I have learned the identity of our mystery saboteur...Samus, it's '''an X mimicking you.''' ...The SA-X [[OhCrap is mimicking you at full power.]]"\
861''(much later)''\
862"You know that the X reproduce by asexual division. Because of this mechanism, there are now no fewer than '''10 SA-X''' aboard the station."
863*** Towards the end of the game, Samus stumbles upon the Galactic Federation's Metroid breeding program, discovering in the process that they're no different from the SpacePirates, after which point the AI overseeing her mission tries to lock her in a room until the Federation arrives. However, after she [[WrongNameOutburst accidentally calls the AI "Adam"]], the computer mocks Samus's plan to blow up the Biologic Space Labs to stop the X, and then [[HeelFaceTurn concocts a better plan instead]].
864---->'''AI:''' ...If you were to alter the station's orbit, then you might be able to include the planet in the vaporization field of the self-destruct detonation.\
865'''Samus:''' ...?\
866'''AI:''' You would have to start the propulsion sequence now. Before the Federation arrives. Samus, this is your last mission. Go to the Operations Room and adjust the station's orbit path to intercept [=SR388=].\
867[=*=][[EyeTake Samus's eyes widen in realization]]*
868*** This is immediately followed by the reveal that the AI Samus had called Adam [[BrainUploading actually is Adam]]:
869---->'''AI:''' Then return to your ship and escape. Move quickly, and stay alive. That's an order! [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Any objections, Lady?]]
870** ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'':
871*** Samus tracks down a surviving scientist to the Bioweapon Research Center after being told by Adam not to trust Madeline Bergman, whom Samus has already met. When she finally corners said scientist and gets her to trust Samus enough to talk, Samus learns that she's been making too many assumptions.
872---->'''Scientist:''' I'm responsible for all operations. My name is Madeline Bergman.\
873'''Samus:''' Wait a minute. I met another woman who called herself Madeline Bergman. What's going on here?\
874''(Madeline shows Samus her ID to confirm her identity)''\
875'''Madeline Bergman:''' What you met was [[BigBad MB]]. [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots She's an android]]. She was created with the intellectual data of [[PredecessorVillain Mother Brain]] and consequently developed Mother Brain's consciousness as well.
876*** At the end, Samus is about to be removed from the BOTTLE SHIP by Galactic Federation soldiers since, with everyone from Adam's team dead, no one can testify that she's ''not'' an outsider to their rescue mission, meaning she can't stop them from [[SheKnowsTooMuch taking Madeline Bergman away before she can testify]]. Then, the soldier who comes to escort Samus says something familiar. And it turns out this person is Anthony, [[DisneyDeath who was last seen falling into lava]].
877----> '''Anthony''': Time for us to go. C'mon, [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay princess]].
878** ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'':
879*** Quiet Robe explained to Samus exactly what Raven Beak is truly up to and asks for Samus to stop him. And surprisingly she responds. It's great because that's her only line in the entire game.
880----> '''Samus''': Don't worry... I'll end this. Once and for all.
881*** Just as Samus comes face-to-face with Raven Beak, he says one final line before his fight... and it ''will'' surprise every single player the first time they hear it.
882----> '''Raven Beak''': You disappoint me... my daughter.
883* ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor'': "The time has come for a new Ring." Note that WordOfGod specifically stated the Master Ring AND any copies are absolute corruption incarnate, so no matter how heroic the person who says the above, they WILL be corrupted. And it's fairly clear their adviser has been corrupted for too long.
884* So you played through ''VideoGame/MightyMilkyWay'', guided the adorable SuperDeformed GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe protagonist through various NintendoHard galaxies, and finally beat the EyeBeam emitting {{Cyborg}} ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' of a boss five times, only to stare in confusion at the end of the last level which doesn't have the usual black hole as the end goal. What just happened? Then the final screen comes up with the following text, accompanied by a clickable button that says "[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone What Have I Done!?]]":
885--> Congratulations! [[YouBastard You helped]] [[VillainProtagonist Luna]] accomplish her ultimate mission: '''[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Destroy Earth]]'''!!
886* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'': At the end of Episode 3, after either Gabriel or Petra saves Jesse from the reawakening Wither Storm:
887-->'''Jesse:''' C'mon, Gabriel/Petra! We've gotta go!\
888'''Gabriel/Petra:''' Who's...who's Gabriel/Petra?
889** Then, in episode 4:
890--->'''Gabriel/Petra:''' I remember! I remember!\
891'''Axel:''' Remember what?\
892'''Gabriel/Petra:''' I remember everything.
893* ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2'':
894** The end of "No Russian", when the BigBad Makarov reveals his plan to spark a war between Russia and the United States.
895--->'''Makarov:''' That was no message...''[bang]'' This is a message.
896** The end of "The Gulag", when the identity of the mysterious Prisoner 627 is revealed. You breach the wall, see him fighting a lone guard, who he uses as a human shield to get close and knock you down. When you look back up at him, the camera is focused on the muzzle of his gun as he points it at you, before the focus shifts up to let you get a good look at him. That's when the character name pops up on your HUD: "Captain Price".
897** At the end of "Contingency", when the true purpose of your mission in Russia is revealed.
898--->'''Ghost:''' Captain Price! The silo doors are opening on the sub! Price! Do you read me? THE SILO DOORS ARE OPEN!\
899'''Price:''' [[NukeEm Good.]]
900** At the end of "Loose Ends", it looks as if Roach and Ghost will be able to get through their mission and escape with the intelligence they were told to acquire. But it turns out Shepherd has other plans:
901--->'''General Shepherd:''' Good. That's one less loose end. ''(draws a gun and shoots Roach in the stomach and Ghost in the head)''
902** Relatedly, there's a certain garbled radio transmission in "Loose Ends":
903--->''' Captain Price:''' We're under attack by Shepherd's men at the boneyard! Do not trust Shepherd! I say again, ''do not trust Shepherd!''
904** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare3'' has one during "Blood Brothers."
905--->'''Makarov:''' Yuri, my friend. You never should have come here.\
906'''Soap:''' You need to know...Makarov...knows...Yuri...
907** "Eyewitnesses are now reporting [[WorldWarIII Russian tanks rolling down the Champs-Élysées.]]"
908** The end of "Turbulence" has one that's written rather than spoken: Objective ''{{Fail|ureIsTheOnlyOption}}ed'' [[RuleOfThree *bang*]]
909* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter4 Ultimate'' has one that mostly just impacts a side plot and is PlayedForLaughs. When you complete the final Egg Syndicate sidequest, you get a letter that gives away the identity of the syndicate's leader:
910--> "'''Harrumph!'''[[note]]The VerbalTic of His Immenseness, the ruler of Dundorma who presides over the G-rank multiplayer hub[[/note]] Egg-cellent work! I knew you had the eggs to pull it off!"
911* ''VideoGame/Mother3'':
912** Late into Chapter 1:
913--->'''Bronson:''' '' ...It's where I found the Drago Fang. It was...in your...It was pierced through your wife's heart...''
914** And also near the end of the game:
915--->'''Flint:''' That...that masked man? He's Claus. Lucas...he's your brother...Claus.
916** And at the end of the final battle[[note]]To elaborate, Lucas has the Franklin Badge, which reflects electricity. Once you remember that, it becomes clear that Claus is doing this to kill himself[[/note]]:
917--->''[[DyingAsYourself Claus fired an intense bolt of lightning!]]''
918* ''VideoGame/MyChildLebensborn'': At some point late in the game, during routine childcare tasks, the child will refuse to have a bath out of the blue. It's the first impossible to ignore clue that the child has been sexually assaulted.
919[[/folder]]
920
921[[folder:N-T]]
922* ''VideoGame/NeedyStreamerOverload'': If you obtained all of the endings, you'll gain access to the "Save 0" epilogue of the game, and you may now read the contents of "secret.txt" after you regain control. Not only it's a major case of TheEndingChangesEverything, Ame's characterization suddenly makes a ''lot'' more sense with this reveal:
923--> "Notes on the current P-chan:
924
925--> Profile: My favorite person in the world and also my producer. Tells me what to do so we can turn [=KAngel=] into the strongest internet angel. Also supports me emotionally and mentally. I wuv my P-chan!
926
927--> Thoughts: The current P-Chan isn't bad, but I kind of can't deal with people only being nice to me, so. I made things work by myself but it's still not ideal. I'll just make a better P-chan next time. One that's so dreamy that I'll never wake. I think I'll start off with the goal of making marriage material next.
928
929--> I can't wait to live a new life happily married~!"
930* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'':
931** After the ritual to make the cure to the Wailing Death is completed, Desther reveals himself as the traitor inside Neverwinter, as an agent of the cult behind the plague.
932-->'''Desther:''' No, Lady Aribeth, ''I'' have the cure.
933** From the expansion ''NeverwinterNights/HordesOfTheUnderdark'':
934--->'''Mephistopheles:''' I shall *not* do as you desire, great Valsharess.
935* ''VideoGame/TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope'':
936** In the final focus of Burgundy's focus tree, after Hitler's assassination attempt, Himmler reveals his ultimate plan.
937-->''The Reichsfuhrer SS has a vision for a new world, one where the corrupt have been wiped away and the lesser races have been purged. A world where the Aryan is free to settle as he sees fit, building a new society within the framework of National Socialism. And it is a world [[OmnicidalManiac forged in the fires of global thermonuclear war.]]
938** One of the ending slides from the ''Old World Blues'' demo has the Ural League facing off against the resurgent Soviet state to the west. The League prepares to defend itself from the very same state that threw them in the gulags, and then a communique comes through.
939--->'''George Zhukov''': Comrade Mendriks. I have come to bargain.
940** If [[TheGoodKingdom Kemerovo/The Kingdom of Rus]] is the state to reform Russia in the main game, the last words of [[NapoleonDelusion "King Rurik II"]] on his deathbed, directed at his children, implies that Major-General Nikolai Krylov was perfectly sane all along and "Rurik" was just an act.
941--->'''Rurik II''': [[ObfuscatingInsanity Good, good. Then perhaps this whole charade was worth it in the end.]]
942** After UsefulNotes/ReinhardHeydrich wins the German Civil War, [[BigBad Himmler]] details him his plan [[OmnicidalManiac to end the World in nuclear fire]]. Heydrich appears stoic at first, but the next event reveals that [[EvenEvilHasStandards he is horrified]].
943--->He solved problems... it's what he had always done... He found his way through things, it's what he did, damn it!\
944[[EvilVersusOblivion But how was he ever going to stop Himmler?]]\
945[[HeelRealization How would he save the world, degenerates and all?]]
946* The eleventh installment of ''VideoGame/NewYankeeInKingArthursCourt'' has a bit of a doozy for those who are used to the games being largely family-friendly.
947-->'''Genie:''' Go to hell!
948* ''VideoGame/NieR''
949-->'''Emil:''' So then humans...I mean, the true humans...they're extinct?\
950'''Weiss:''' No. They still live on. You know them as Shades.
951* ''VideoGame/NierAutomata''
952-->'''9S:''' Humanity is extinct. That moon server you're so worried about was invented to give us androids something to fight for. And [=YoRHa=] was built to ''perpetuate the lie''. But in order to make sure no one ever learned the truth, ''we were designed to be killed''. [[WhyAmITicking They built a back door into the bunker and programmed it to activate after a certain amount of time]]. The commander? Me? 2B? Sacrificial lambs, all of us. Isn't that HILARIOUS?! DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU '''LAUGH'''?!
953* Every ending in ''VideoGame/NoOneHasToDie'' delivers one of these:
954** Steve: "The phrase that the birds were taught? It was 'Christina lives'."
955** Christina: "I lit the fire."
956** Troy: "The reason I lit the fire... I didn't." and "I knew the security code because I heard you read it out."
957** Lionel: "Our true interest here is time travel."
958** Bad Endings: "Two casualties unavoidable." (There are only two survivors left when it appears.)
959** Start of the final path: "Fire on Floor B3. No casualties expected."
960** End of the final path: Christina: "I've been here before."
961* ''VideoGame/NoOneLivesForever'':
962-->'''Cate Archer:''' You were right. Last night I slept peacefully for the first time since my father died.
963-->'''Tom Goodman:''' How touching.
964* ''VideoGame/NoStraightRoads'': Over the course of the game, Mayday and Zuke have been setting out to prove to the tyrannical label NSR that rock is better than EDM when it comes to powering Vinyl City, with EDM apparently creating a 47% power output. After defeating NSR's CEO, Mayday starts boasting about how much more power rock could give the city while Zuke checks to see how much energy the duo produced during the fight...only for him to drop this bombshell:
965-->''"It's, uh... still 47%."''
966** Shortly before that scene, there's this line - made whammy not so much because of its content, but because of ''who'' says it:
967--->'''[[BigBad Tatiana]]:''' ''I'm'' Kul Fyra, you nimwits!
968* ''VideoGame/NotForBroadcast'': Not the game itself, but at the end of the trailer for the upcoming third and final episode (which currently plays at the end of Episode 2 at the time of its release) we get this line from the National Nightly Newsroom manager Jenny Skywalker (though only in voice): "Jeremy?" Depending on what happened in "Day 296: The Heatwave", those who had Jeremy Donaldson arrested for the HostageSituation are speculating that the line is an indication that he could be rescued via a prison break, while those who let him die (either by suicide or by security) are speculating that he could be brought BackFromTheDead; it could go either way once Episode 3 is released.
969-->'''Chad And Russ:''' ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79X4EvEsqF8 No way! Can it be... Zombie Jeremy?!?!]]''
970* ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'':
971** In Ophilia's route, she sets out to carry out the Kindling pilgrimage in her adoptive sister Lianna's stead, since Lianna is distressed over her father having taken ill. After Ophilia completes her stop in Goldshore, she's surprised to see Lianna in town.
972--->'''Lianna''': Father... is no longer with us...
973** Not long after the above, Ophilia tries to comfort Lianna, only to collapse to her knees. Lianna then delivers the following line, to admit to drugging Ophilia.
974--->'''Lianna''': I'm sorry, Phili. But this is for Father's sake. You're always so kind. I'll know you'll understand.
975** In Primrose's route, after killing the second of the three men with crow tattoos [[YouKilledMyFather killed her father]], she sees her ChildhoodFriend Simeon come up to her. After Simeon stabs her, he says the following. In a gameplay example, the name on his dialogue tags changes to "Simeon the Puppet Master" as he says "It was me."
976--->'''Simeon''': Oh, I'm sorry. I heard you were looking around for my friend here. And you know what they say about birds of a feather...\
977'''Primrose''': The mark... of the crow...\
978'''Simeon''': The head of the Obisidians? The crow atop the roost? And, oh yes, the one who killed your dear, dear father... ...It was me.
979* ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'' has one when you finally confront the BigBad:
980-->'''Akuro:''' And so we meet again, Child of the Sun...Or should I say, [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Mutt?]]
981* ''VideoGame/{{OFF}}''
982** After the defeat of Enoch, if you haven't revisited a purified zone yet:
983--->'''Enoch:''' This zone, deprived of a guardian, is now destined to disappear... and the men who live here, whether they deserve it or not, will fall into nothingness, never to return.
984** And from just before the confrontation with the Queen:
985--->'''The Queen:''' I will not let you lay a hand on the son that has brought us into the world.
986* ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'':
987** After the tutorial section, the game asks the player to enter the name of your character. Except there's one thing: ''you can't name Omori with his own name.'' You're naming ''another playable character.''
988--->''You see a boy sleeping in his room. What's his name?''\
989[[HelloInsertNameHere Sunny]]
990** From right before you fight Aubrey at the church in the real world:
991--->'''Kel:''' You know, [[CoolBigSis Mari]] would be really sad to hear that.\
992'''Aubrey:''' Heh... Really? You really wanna bring Mari into this? Who cares what Mari thinks? [[PosthumousCharacter Mari's dead.]]
993* In ''VideoGame/OneChance'', each day begins with "In X days, every single living cell on Planet Earth will be dead. You have one chance." The final day changes this a bit:
994-->''Today, every single living cell on Planet Earth will die. You had one chance.''
995* In ''VideoGame/OtterIsland'', this line from Connor confirming that not only is there definitely some kind of dangerous creature on Otter Island, but that he and his family have been aware of its existence for some time.
996-->"But nothing should be wrong, at least not until fall. We specifically don't come here in fall because of this."
997* Throughout ''VideoGame/OuterWilds'', your main goals are to find out why you're stuck in a 22-minute GroundhogDayLoop that ends with the sun going supernova, and how to escape the loop and stop that from happening. As you explore the planets and piece together clues, you discover that the [[{{Precursors}} Nomai]] used a complex system of processes and machines to set up a science experiment in which they'd [[StarKilling detonate the sun]] to generate the energy needed for that very time loop. So you make it to the [[StellarStation Sun Station]], ready to disable whatever device is destroying your solar system... only to read some {{Apocalyptic Log}}s and learn the AwfulTruth. The Nomai couldn't get the Sun Station to work, it's been orbiting inert for nearly 300,000 years. Your sun isn't being "killed," it's dying of old age, and there is ''nothing'' you can do to prevent it.
998-->'''Pye:''' The Sun Station is useless. It will never, and could never, cause the sun to explode.\
999'''Nomai Computer:''' Star has reached end of natural life cycle.
1000* ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'': TEC asks Peach what the treasure behind the Thousand Year Door, and one of the answers that the player can give is "A 1000 Year Old Demon's Soul". If you pick this answer, TEC replies with "Correct.", thus giving the player the answer of what is behind the door, and the lack of ceremony will heighten the player's likely "Wait, what?!" reaction.
1001** ''[[VideoGame/BookOfMarioThousandsOfDoors Book of Mario]]'', the RecursiveTranslation of the original ''Paper Mario'' games, accidentally creates a couple of wham lines in its weird re-telling of the games:
1002*** In ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Thousands of Doors]]'', Carbon is consistently characterised by the translation as the TokenEvilTeammate of Mario's party, even telling his ArchnemesisDad that 'I came to eat Hoko Saba[[labelnote:*]]Hooktail[[/labelnote]] and destroy our city'. Then an email comes to Mario's inbox from said Dad implying some major OffscreenVillainy took place: '[[WhereIWasBornAndRazed I want Petalburg back, Carbon]]'.
1003*** In ''[[VideoGame/PaperMario64 Book of Mario 64]]'', the most powerful ability in the game is the Beam Pexego that can nullify the final boss' invincibility, even after he powers up. Its ability description says 'Paul briefly stops the effect of Bowser's star'. Paul is the translation's name given to Chuck Quizmo, PopQuiz host, and implies at the very end that he was an AllPowerfulBystander.
1004* ''VideoGame/PerfectVermin'': In the Chaos Level, the newsreporter is a BodyHorror-ridden mess apologizing for his {{Jerkass}} behavior. As the TimedMission keeps ticking down, he has this to say:
1005-->''Do not worry yourself with the timer. [[YourDaysAreNumbered It is not for you. I am being unborn.]]''
1006* ''VideoGame/{{Pinstripe}}'': The very last line of the game turns the ending on its head. You've rescued your daughter and have escaped from the hellish region, and are seemingly back home. But then you see a familiar-looking woman on a bench...
1007-->'''Bo:''' Mummy?
1008* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'': When you find a copy of the message written in the scars on your back:
1009--> To your surprise, there's one more line--one that Morte didn't read to you in the Mortuary: "Don't trust the skull."
1010* ''Planet of the Eyes'': You find this audio log alongside a destroyed robot. Thing is, you were supposed to be the ''first'' Earth robot to step foot on this planet, yet this one is the same model as you and its power core has apparently exploded. That's when the engineer who designed you realized why this mission was so classified:
1011--> '''Engineer:''' You're not an explorer... you're a ''bomb''.
1012* ''VideoGame/PoppyPlaytime'':
1013** In Chapter 2, as Mommy Long Legs is getting crushed to death, she utters this haunting line:
1014--->'''Mommy Long Legs:''' WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE!? HE'LL MAKE ME PART OF ''HIM''! YOU... CAN'T DO THIS TO MEEEE!
1015* From ''VideoGame/{{Portal|1}}''
1016** The moment when you realize [=GLaDOS=] is more than just a pre-recorded message is certainly shocking.
1017---> '''[=GLaDOS=]:''' ''[clearly shocked]'' [[AC:What are you doing? Stop it! I... I...]] ''[gibberish, then calmly...]'' [[AC:We are pleased that you have made it through the final challenge where we [[BlatantLies pretended]] we were going to murder you.]]
1018** From the ending of ''Portal''; notable is that this was not in the original game and was [[OrwellianRetcon patched in]] as part of an AlternateRealityGame add-on more than '''two years''' after release.
1019--->'''Robot:''' Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position!
1020* ''VideoGame/Portal2'':
1021** Early in the game, you have to walk through [=GLaDOS=]'s former chamber, where her lifeless chassis is still lying in pieces. Even after Wheatley [[TooDumbToLive inadvertently boots her up]] and repairs her, there's the hope that her memory will have been wiped...but then, with three words, you [[ThisIsGonnaSuck realize]] that things are about to get much, ''much'' worse:
1022--->'''[=GLaDOS=]''': ...oh. It's ''you.''
1023** As you're about to finally escape the facility...
1024--->'''Wheatley:''' This body is AMAZING, seriously! I can't get over how SMALL you are! [[AGodAmI But I'm HUGE]]! Ha... Haha... [[LaughingMad Ahahahaha]], [[EvilLaugh AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA]]! Ahaha... Ha... [[FaceHeelTurn Actually]]... [[DrunkWithPower why do we have to leave right now?]]
1025** Shortly afterward, we get this from [=GLaDOS=] after Wheatley puts her in a potato:
1026--->'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' ''(to Wheatley)'' [[AC: I ''know'' you... [...] The engineers tried everything to make me... ''behave''. To slow me down... Once, they even attached an Intelligence Dampening Sphere on me... It clung to my brain like a tumor, generating an endless stream of terrible ideas... [...] It was YOUR voice! [...] YOU'RE the tumor! You're not just a regular moron... ''You were DESIGNED to be a moron.''']]
1027** These lines that confirm [=GLaDOS=]'s former identity.
1028*** From the start of Chapter 7.
1029---->'''Cave Johnson:''' The testing area is just up ahead. The quicker you get through, the quicker you'll get your sixty bucks!\
1030'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' [[AC:Hold on, who-]]\
1031'''Cave Johnson:''' Caroline, are the compensation vouchers ready?\
1032'''[=GLaDOS=] and Caroline, simultaneously:''' Yes sir, Mister Johnson!\
1033''{{Beat}}''\
1034'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' ''(panicked)'' [[AC:Why did I just- Who is that?! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HE-]] ''(shorts out)''
1035*** After Cave's infamous [[WhenLifeGivesYouLemons Lemon-rant]].
1036---->'''Cave Johnson:''' If I die before you people can pour me into a computer, I want Caroline to run this place. ''(coughs)'' Now she'll argue. She'll say she can't. She's modest like that. ''But you MAKE HER!'' Hell, put her in MY computer, I don't care!
1037** "PART 5! BOOBY TRAP THE STALEMATE BUTTON!" Yes, this came right after the trap was activated, but you'll probably be too shocked to realize what happened when the line is said.
1038** The Perpetual Testing Initiative we have one given after the "[=CaveDOS=]-arc" that completely turns the notion of "Cave Prime" on its head:
1039--->'''Cave Prime:''' Whoa! Chariots chariots. For some reason, some of the audio was bleeding through in this universe. Don't know if you were catching the subtext there, but that computer Cave is crazy. So: Greg was right. As of now, we are cancelling the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System initiative.
1040** [[WhatCouldHaveBeen An older version of the game]] would have had one in the form of ''[[HeroicMime Chell]]'' actually ''[[SuddenlySpeaking talking]]''. It was only a single word--"Yes"--but it was enough [[https://youtu.be/vboI7UUziHk for the test audience]] to go from laughing to [[StunnedSilence completely silent]].
1041* ''VideoGame/Prey2017'':
1042-->'''[=Alex=]:''' "What you experienced was a reconstruction of Morgan's memories. Let me show you something... this (''screens show a view of a city, enveloped in Typhon coral'') is the world today. [...] You're the bridge between our species."
1043* The ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'' series
1044** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheCuriousVillage'', Professor Layton to Inspector Chelmey: "No inspector, it has quite a bit to do with you. If there is any criminal element involved in this case...then it is you sir!" The finger-pointing that goes along with it has since been repeated in every game.
1045** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheUnwoundFuture'', Celeste reveals herself as a temporarily time-shifted Claire by saying "You've taken good awfully good care of that hat I gave you", and also, in the line before, addressing Layton by his [[FirstNameBasis first name rather than "Professor"]].
1046** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheMiracleMask'', when the professor is faced with the Masked Gentleman, he says this, revealing his identity as his [[EvilFormerFriend supposedly dead friend]], Randall:
1047--->'''Layton:''' It pains me to see you like this, Randall.
1048** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheAzranLegacy'', during a flashback with a young boy about to be adopted by the Layton family: "But Hershel, ''I want to stay with you''!" The boys would grow up to be ''Hershel Layton and Descole''.
1049** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVsPhoenixWrightAceAttorney''
1050*** In Chapter 5, Layton and Maya find that someone broke into the Great Witch's chambers, then search for the culprit, one of the Shades in disguise. After being confronted, the culprit has this to say.
1051---->'''Barnham''': Hmph. Impressive work, [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Sir Top Hat]].
1052*** In Chapter 9, after Darklaw is formally accused of being Bezella and takes the witness stand, the court needs someone to serve as Inquisitor with Barnham in the dungeon. Layton then steps forward and becomes the game's final prosecutor.
1053---->'''Layton''': I believe I can fill that role.\
1054'''Phoenix''': Professor, wait... What are you saying?\
1055'''Layton''': I can prove conclusively... that Espella Cantabella is in fact the Great Witch Bezella!
1056*** This line near the end during the Storyteller's testimony cements TheReveal.
1057---->'''The Storyteller:''' Although you may know me as the Storyteller, I have one more identity. I am the president of Labrelum Inc. This whole town... is one of Labrelum's research facilities.
1058** Another spinoff, ''VideoGame/LaytonsMysteryJourneyKatrielleAndTheMillionairesConspiracy'', has one as the final line, when Katrielle mentions something her missing father asked her.
1059-->"If you're [[HappilyAdopted not really my child]], who exactly are you?"
1060* At the end of ''[[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Project X Zone 2]]'':
1061-->'''Reiji:''' Xiaomu... will you marry me?
1062* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'':
1063-->'''Alex:''' Who are you? Who sent you?\
1064'''Cross:''' You should pick your friends more carefully, Mercer.
1065** Later on:
1066--->'''Alex:''' I'm not human. The revelation...it freed me. It killed me. I'm not human. *uneasy chuckle* Alex is just the role I play. Part of me was relieved...and part of me died. Just another disguise, right? So ingrained...so real...even I believe it.
1067** And also from Director [=McMullen=]:
1068--->"Alex Mercer died. He died threatening to release the most deadly virus in history on the people of New York."
1069* ''VideoGame/Psychonauts2''
1070** In the first game, we learn [[TheMentor Ford Cruller]]'s mind was shattered battling a powerful psychic 20 years ago. In the second game we learn this was the infamous PersonOfMassDestruction Maligula, and Raz is tasked with repairing Ford's mind to prepare for her return. Once he does, though...
1071--->'''Ford:''' Razputin...\
1072'''Raz:''' Agent Cruller! How do you feel?\
1073'''Ford:''' I've done a terrible thing. [[WhatTheHellHero And so have you.]]\
1074'''Raz:''' But... we just wanted to undo what Maligula did to you.\
1075'''Ford:''' Maligula didn't do this to me. That's the first thing I've learned in here. The rest... you're gonna have to see for yourself.
1076** As Raz dives deeper into Ford's mind to understand what ''really'' happened to Maligula, even as Raz himself struggles to understand Ford's vague hints as to the AwfulTruth.
1077--->'''Ford:''' ''(Referring to two skeletons Raz has stumbled across in his mental landscape)'' That's your grandparents, Lazlo and Marona. They drowned in the Valermo Dam Disaster, remember?\
1078'''Raz:''' ''(Audibly terrified)'' What? No. Grandpa Lazlo died, but grandma made it out and came to live with my father!\
1079'''Ford:''' No, Raz. [[DeadAllAlong She didn't.]]\
1080'''Raz:''' Ford, I just saw [[ChekhovsGunman her]] today.\
1081'''Ford:''' [[LittleNo No.]] [[TheDogWasTheMastermind You didn't.]]
1082* In the Wii version of ''VideoGame/PunchOut'', after Little Mac succesfully defends his champion belt against all opponents (including former champion Mr. Sandman), he and Doc Louis talk about the former's "plans in mind" for the future. Cue the start of the seventh and final boxing circuit of the game:
1083-->'''Doc Louis:''' You really sure? [[FinalDeathMode Three losses and you call it quits?]]
1084* From the final level of ''VideoGame/QuantumConundrum'', right as you finish activating the Uber IDS, Professor Quadwrangle's memory of how he got stuck in the Pocket Dimension finally returns...and you suddenly realize that you've just done [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the exact]] [[NowYouTellMe wrong thing]]:
1085-->'''Professor Quadwrangle:''' [[EurekaMoment EXCESSIVE SCIENCE JUICE FLOODING?!]] [[OhCrap WAIT, NO! I UNDERSTAND NOW!]] ALL THE FLOODING IS CAUSING AN UNSTABLE ENERGY FLOW TO THE IDS! ''I REALLY NEED TO GET YOU OUT OF THERE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!'' I-I NEED YOU TO GET TO THE CORE OF THE IDS DEVICE! I REMEMBER NOW!! THERE'S A POCKET DIMENSION THERE AS PART OF THE MACHINE'S FAIL SAFE! THAT'S...''THAT'S'' WHY I'M IN THE POCKET DIMENSION! '''I PUT MYSELF HERE ON PURPOSE!!'''
1086* ''VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsTheSoullessArmy'':
1087-->'''Voice in Akarana Corridor:''' ''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI The Ambassador]] [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII has launched]] [[NukeEm the ICBMs!]]''
1088* ''VideoGame/RainWorld'':
1089-->'''[[DeityOfHumanOrigin Five Pebbles]]:''' ...Is this reaching you?
1090* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002'': Up until the final planet, [[BigBad Chairman Drek]] was believed to be a WellIntentionedExtremist, who was harvesting parts of other planets to build a new world for the Blarg race. Once the titular duo face him and Clank tries to reason with him, he reveals his true intentions:
1091-->'''Drek:''' You think that's what this is about? Who do you think polluted our ''last'' world? ''I'' did. [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist This is about one thing and one thing only - cash, and lots of it!]] You see, I've been paid for every square inch of my new world. Once the inhabitants move in, I will begin polluting this world as well, then the whole thing starts all over again. Ah, brilliant.
1092* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankSizeMatters'':
1093-->'''Luna:''' I haven't had a chance to tell my "friends" about your heroic deeds.
1094* ''[[VideoGame/RaySeries RayStorm]]'' pulls one in the ending, in the 13-ship mode's [[TheStinger stinger]]:
1095--> "[[ShootTheShaggyDog Earth and Secilia have vanished.]] Likewise, those that developed the "RAY" technology and all evidence of its existence have been wiped away. No record of R-GRAY craft was found, and no R-GRAY craft has ever returned."
1096* In ''VideoGame/TheReconstruction'', everything looks like it'll be fine and the world will be saved, but this banks on the fact that the third Watcher hasn't messed anything up. But that's okay, you're still on schedule and know where he is...or do you?
1097-->"Third Watcher? You mean Donz? I thought he went down with you guys, Ma!"
1098* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'':
1099** The quest "A Fisher of Men" seems innocuous at first, with Arthur taking Jack on a fishing trip at Abigail's request... and then a pair of well-dressed men ride up, and you meet two people who will be important not just in this game, but in [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption another one]]...
1100-->'''Agent Milton:''' What a fine young man... and in such complex circumstances. Arthur, isn't it? Arthur Morgan? (his partner cocks his gun)\
1101'''Arthur:''' Who are you?\
1102'''Agent Milton:''' Yes, Arthur Morgan, Van der Linde's most trusted associate. You've read the files, typical case... orphan street kid seduced by that maniac's silver tongue and matures into a degenerate murderer. Agent Milton. (indicates his partner) [[EarlyBirdCameo Agent Ross.]]
1103** During the Saint Denis trolley heist, the trolley the gang uses to escape crashes, with Dutch taking a nasty blow to the head. As the game goes on, Dutch's personality [[SanitySlippage begins to shift]], becoming more and more like the ruthless StrawNihilist we see in the first game. Take into account the idea that the crash might have given him a concussion, and this seemingly innocuous line becomes far more sinister:
1104-->'''Dutch:''' [[StartOfDarkness I don't feel too good.]]
1105** Unique in that it's actually in the form of the interface's DialogueTree. During the Chapter 6 mission where you assist Rains Fall, one of the dialogue options simply reads "ARTHUR'S SON?"
1106** "[[YourDaysAreNumbered You've got tuberculosis]]."
1107* ''VideoGame/ReflecBeat'': Not necessarily within the game itself, but: During the finals of the ''Reflec Beat'' tournament at the 5th Konami Arcade Championship in 2016, a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifj9UmpL0S8 reveal trailer]] was played to hype up the final song, "Rebellio". After a long speech from Tatsuya Iyama's "MAX MAXIMIZER" alter ego, one line appeared that upended the revised 1-12 difficulty scale that had been introduced into the series just five months earlier:
1108--> '''''XIII''' -- DIFFICULTY''
1109* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'':
1110-->'''Wesker:''' I would expect you to be happier to see us.\
1111'''Chris:''' ''Us''?
1112* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'':
1113-->'''Carla Radames:''' (to Jake Muller) So, you're [[OverlordJr Wesker Junior]].
1114* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2'':
1115-->'''Natalia:''' Moira... she's dead...\
1116'''Barry:''' What...?\
1117The reveal of the BigBad at the end of Episode 2:\
1118'''Natalia:''' That IS Wesker. Alex Wesker.
1119* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard'': After you kill Eveline at the end of the game, the soldier who tossed you the gun you used to finish her off approaches you, removing his helmet and introducing himself...
1120-->[[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo I'm Redfield.]]
1121* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'': One delivered to Ethan by Eveline that completely recontextualize the events of both ''Resident Evil 7'' and ''Village''.
1122-->"Wrong. It wasn't [[AndShowItToYou Miranda]], [[DeadAllAlong you were always dead]]."
1123* ''VideoGame/RiskOfRain'', in the very last line of the final boss' monster log:
1124-->''"...why did we have a teleporter from this planet in our cargo hold?"''
1125* ''VideoGame/RiverCityGirls'' gives us this exchange occurs cluing us in on what happens in the ending after you beat the OptionalBoss.
1126-->'''Misako''': Face it, rejects. We're the ones Kunio and Riki love!\
1127'''Kyoko''': Yeah, admit it!\
1128'''Hasebe''': Are you crazy?? They barely remember you.\
1129'''Mami''': Yeah, you guys dated them for, like, [[VideoGame/RiverCityGirlsZero one 16-bit game.]]\
1130'''Hasebe''': [[NoExportForYou That wasn't even released in the USA.]]\
1131'''Mami''': Talk about obscure.
1132* ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}''
1133** While relating his story about how RKS was formed and why he launched the coup against the Holy Empire, Count Michael Zeppelin reveals a shocking secret about his daughter, Iris:
1134--->'''Zeppelin:''' Fate is indeed cruel. My precious Iris... She was blessed with every ounce of power that Rosenkreuz had accumulated throughout his life.\
1135'''Spiritia:''' ...!?\
1136'''Lilli:''' ...So, in other words, she's the reincarnation of Rosenkreuz?\
1137'''Zeppelin:''' That she is.
1138** After the boss fight following the dialogue between Spiritia and Zeppelin, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Lilli asks why Iris was at the Imperial Training Hall when the coup started if what he said about the Orthodox Church wanting Iris dead and him finding out about Kahl is true]]. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning unexpectedly strikes Zeppelin from behind and burns him away, and the line that sets up the true BigBad comes out in the form of a familiar voice, just like this:
1139--->'''[[EvilAllAlong Iris]]:''' [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Such a useless old man.]]
1140** If that's not enough, the same BigBad even reveals the true reason for starting the coup against the Empire to Tia and Lilli, and, of course, it definitely wasn't a very good reason at all.
1141--->'''Iris:''' I was born with absolute power and unparalleled brains. Now, when someone knows everything there is to know about something, they get bored with it. That's the reason why I chose to stage this revolution: [[ForTheEvulz to make this world just a little less boring]].
1142** Before the final battle of the first game, Iris reveals something she learned when she saw Spiritia's PowerCopying capabilities for herself leading her to wonder where she got all that energy from:
1143--->'''Iris:''' I inherited Rosenkreuz's magical prowess and the abundance of knowledge he acquired over the course of his life. That more than qualified me to take my rightful place at the pinnacle of this world. But there was one thing I didn't inherit. The very thing that defined him most as an individual: his ability to tap into the strength of others.\
1144'''Spiritia:''' Huh...?\
1145'''Iris:''' You've gained quite a few new abilities in such a short while, haven't you? I was a fool to have let that gone unnoticed. You are his other incarnation, "the Blade of Rosenkreuz".
1146** ''Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel'' has several of these as well, starting with this line that sets up a betrayal against Pamela.
1147--->'''Eifer''': ...Freudia is right. You are quite worthless, Pamela.
1148** And then another few come shortly afterwards, setting up the fate awaiting Schwarzkreuz.
1149--->'''Eifer''': All preparations are in order. The remaining Magi are worthless to us. Your duty, and that of Schwarzkreuz, is over.\
1150'''Pamela''': ...Ugh... What are you saying? Protecting the Pope has always been the duty of Schwarzkreuz!\
1151'''Eifer''': ...The Pope? The worthless old man? The sniveling little coward who did nothing but submit to the will of God? He will not be needing your protection anymore. I sent him to Heaven. I imagine he's overjoyed, seeing as he never shut up about the place.
1152** And then the line from Eifer that soon reveals the return of a certain BigBad comes shortly afterwards.
1153--->'''Eifer''': [[HijackedByGanon My master]] wishes to address the both of you. You would do well to listen, vermin.
1154** Not long after Iris reveals the real reason for the Church's witch hunts, she delivers a line that reveals how she managed to observe Freudia's every move:
1155--->'''Iris''': I enjoy a good performance as much as the next Goddess. Good work, Strudel.
1156** At the end of Iris Stage 1 in ''Freudenstachel'', Freudia winds up stumbling upon a familiar face...
1157--->'''Zeppelin''': It has been a while, Freudia.
1158** A big reveal comes from Freu at the end of Iris Stage 2, further explaining Eifer's and Strudel's connection to, and obsession with her:
1159--->'''Freudia''': Ru told me everything. You and Ru are homunculi. Iris created you to be her servants... Her slaves...
1160** In the final confrontation, Iris reveals that she not only possessed Spiritia, but did something that reveals her reason for the witch hunts that captured so many Magi...
1161--->'''Iris''': (from within Spiritia) Why do you think I captured so many Magi? Their power courses through me, their Goddess... And, through me, it courses through the body of our lovely Spiritia! Now the power of Rosenkreuz is mine alone! Witness the birth of a new God!
1162** After the final battle, Strudel delivers a line that reveals a shocking truth about why Freu won the fight.
1163--->'''Strudel''': After all, Tia's been helping the whole time. She sealed her power to make sure you couldn't use it. That way, she could save Freu!
1164** In ''Rosenkreuzstilette Weißsilber'', a huge twist comes in when Pamela returns to the High Chapel in triumph over RKS and meets up with the Refraktia twins:
1165--->'''Recht''': ...H-his Holiness has issued a decree to all those l-loyal to the faith...\
1166'''Link''': "Pamela, daughter of the noble House of Arwig, is hereby relieved of duty. For deserting her post and turning her back on God, her punishment is exile and excommunication. She is thus stripped of all titles and authority, and shall henceforth be known as a heretic and enemy of the state."\
1167'''Pamela''': Wh-what...!?\
1168'''Recht''': "May God have mercy on her soul."
1169** After Pamela defeats Kahl and her former comrades in Schwarzkreuz, she is on her way to the cloister to seek an audience with the Pope, when Eifer reveals to her the truth about whom she intends to clear up the misunderstanding with.
1170--->'''Eifer''': You really are a fool, aren't you? Just who are you seeking an audience with? The real Pope has been dead for quite some time now. The one you're so desperate to talk to? He's a homunculus, just like me.
1171* ''VideoGame/SecondSight:''
1172-->'''Hanson:''' You can't change the past!\
1173'''Vattic:''' You're wrong, Hanson. This isn't the past! Its the present!
1174* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld:''
1175** The climax of Issue #7 begins with the unveiling of your so-called companion's true identity, and the revelation that you've been helping the BigBad all along - all with a single word powerful enough to make the player character suffer a terror-induced seizure.
1176-->Can you guess [[IHaveManyNames my final name?]] ''' ''[[HumanoidAbomination Lilith]].'' '''
1177** In the conclusion of the same issue, Emma Smith is confronted by a horde of Filth creatures, all of which seem to be taking a very specific interest in her. By now, most players will be familiar with the [[PathOfInspiration Morninglight]]'s {{Catchphrase}}, but this showdown offers the first major clue that the cult is even more sinister than first believed.
1178--->'''Emma:''' What... what do you want with me? I'm so small. You eat stars!\
1179'''The Dreamers:''' [[AC: You are all made of stars.]]
1180** Lore for Winter Holidays 2013 concludes with a short story of a little girl being mutilated by her father in a ritual that leaves the left side of her body dead and her vision split between the real world and the spirit world; the ending lines of this tale provide a shock revelation of the characters' true identity ''and'' their true motivation.
1181--->"Father, why was I punished?" she asks, quietly.\
1182"Punished? Why [[SuperEmpowering you have been blessed]]!" [[Myth/NorseMythology Loki]] said.
1183** Picking up your first Black Lore item drops a whammy firmly in the lap of dedicated Lore readers; up until now, the Buzzing has been the best possible source of information on the mysteries of the Secret World... but with this line, it's revealed that there's something out there that can hijack the Buzzing's signal...
1184--->Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-I am the pirate signal-let me in.\
1185[[{{Catchphrase}} Hiya Chuck]].\
1186[[AffablyEvil Pleased to meet you]]. I'm the message. [[TomTheDarkLord I'm John]]. Nothing fancy. I want to get to know you-you-you.
1187** Exploring the abandoned Fear Nothing Foundation headquarters has probably left players with the impression that something very bad happened here, but it's not until you find the last journal entry in the place that the true horror becomes apparent:
1188--->Letting go of the fear is one step. Letting go of everyone who gives you the fear is another. [[DrinkingTheKoolAid But you have to let go of everything human]]. [[DrivenToSuicide Going to shed this gross body]]. Going to be graceful.
1189** The final act of Issue #11 reaches its most violent stage when [[FallenAngel Samael]] decides to bring out the next line of defense - and in the process, reveals that players aren't the only characters with access to the power of the Bees...
1190--->Did you really think you were the only ones capable of [[ResurrectiveImmortality cheating death?]] Did you think your organization was the only one who could find those individuals whose lips taste of honey? Allow me to introduce you to the [[SuperPoweredMooks Mitsubachi!]]
1191** And another one crops up later in the same issue, when it's revealed that the attack on Orochi Tower was just a cover for something ''much'' more dangerous.
1192--->'''Lilith:''' Search the shallow dung-heap that is your soul and tell me truly if you think you can beat me.\
1193'''John:''' [[AC: I... can’t. Oh, [[BrokenRecord I can’t – I can’t – I can’t]]. ''But I don’t have to beat you.'' I just have to distract you. Until ''they'' come.]]
1194* In ''SEVEN's CODE'', the titular city is described as a "microcosm of the human body", inspired by the human body's similarity to a city. At the end of the fifth chapter, the player is left with a line that pretty much flips the entire concept of the city on its head:
1195-->'''Aurora:''' I am SEVEN's CODE.
1196* ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'': The line revealing the true goal of DiskOneFinalBoss: The it isn't the Demon Gate Invocation that he's preparing to cast, but the Inverse Demon Gate Invocation, and that he is literally summoning a god, something much, much stronger than anyone expected.
1197* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV''
1198** While you may have puzzled it out already due to the presence of SchizoTech, it's only once you get to the bottom of the Sky Pillar that it's confirmed the game takes place not in Medieval times, but AfterTheEnd:
1199--->'''Abbot Hugo:''' It seems you've safely reached the Unclean Ones' country... Tokyo.
1200** In the basement of Reverse Hills, you find out exactly what [[TheDon Mr. Tayama]] is up to, and why he's so evil [[EvenEvilHasStandards he makes Demon Lords cringe]]:
1201--->'''Ashura-kai scientist:''' Is this [[HumanResources all the brains you got today]]?
1202** In Blasted Tokyo, you discover the man you just helped may well be a significant figure from the {{backstory}}:
1203--->'''Jonathan:''' If that were to happen, you would be King Akira of the Eastern Kingdom [[OhCrap of-]]
1204* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse''
1205** One line from Odin not only heavily foreshadows one of the game's biggest twists, but also names a character who hasn't been seen or even named in a very long time:
1206--->'''Odin:''' You know as well as I do, Lucifer will side with [[GodIsEvil YHVH]].
1207** The line revealing the identity of two of the villains:
1208--->'''Jonathan:''' Lucifer and Merkabah are to become one and return to their original form.
1209** After the two villains fuse:
1210--->'''Satan:''' I am Satan, the ancient angel... The Arbiter.
1211* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV''
1212** In past ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games, the conflict was almost always between Lucifer and YHVH, or at least their proxies. However, at the end of the first area, Lucifer reveals that's not going to be the case this time around:
1213--->'''Lucifer:''' [[GodIsDead The God you cravenly revere is dead]]. Slain by my own hand, that humanity might finally live unbound from their chains.
1214** After Lahmu is defeated, Sahori calls the Nahobino and Tao over to her.
1215--->'''Sahori''': There's something I need to say... To both of you... Listen closely... ''(Sahori's eyes turn yellow and she smirks)'' You're mine!
1216** After the Parademonic Summit, Dazai offers to find Abdiel's Knowledge for her, only to learn that he is her Knowledge.
1217--->'''Abdiel''': That won't be necessary. They're already here. [...] It is you, Ichiro Dazai. You are my Knowledge.
1218** In the final area of Da'at, one of the Miman finally reveals what they are, which can be a surprise if you haven't found the clues.
1219--->"You figure it out yet? Miman what left of those who no return to be Nahobino. Sad, huh?"
1220* ''Franchise/SilentHill'':
1221** ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'':
1222*** Near the end of the game, there's a line from [[FromNobodyToNightmare Eddie]] that drops the biggest clue yet as to the nature of TheReveal:
1223----> '''Eddie:''' Don't get all holy on me, James! This town called you, too! [[NotSoDifferentRemark You and me are the same!]] We're not ''like'' other people... Don't you ''know'' that?
1224*** One line literally changes the entire story:
1225----> '''James Sunderland:''' [[TheLostLenore Mary is dead.]] [[SympatheticMurderer I killed her]].
1226** Vincent's line from ''VideoGame/SilentHill3'' has [[FridgeHorror scarier implications]] than the rest of the game combined; he claims to have been just joking, but that hasn't stopped players from suddenly seeing the game in a different light.
1227--->'''Vincent:''' Monsters? They looked like monsters to you? ''[Heather gasps in horror]'' Don't worry, it's just a joke!
1228** ''VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories'':
1229---> "I know you're not Harry Mason!"
1230*** Near the end, Cybil says: "But Harry Mason was killed in a car crash 18 years ago!"
1231*** Dr. K delivers a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the player and then gives us the line that reveals [[UnseenAudience who we were actually playing as]]:
1232----> '''Kaufmann:''' The dad walking around in your head isn't even a ghost. A Frankenstein's monster, a child's fantasy... But ''you're'' alive. Your mother is alive. She's not the monster you make her out to be. You need to live your life... Cheryl.
1233* ''VideoGame/SinAndPunishmentStarSuccessor'': [[note]] Only applies if you've played the first ''VideoGame/SinAndPunishment''[[/note]]
1234--> '''Kachi:''' Long ago, I wasn't called Kachi. I was known as...Achi.
1235* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'':
1236** For the first six (non-[=DLC=]) story modes, Valentine is a DeadlyDoctor and one of Bloody Marie's CoDragons, who speaks of conducting 'relatively painless' experiments on the ten-year-old Umbrella, finds 'mutilating' Ms. Fortune's immortal body fascinating and turned the innocent schoolgirl Carol into the nightmarish LivingWeapon Painwheel. Then, after all of these, Valentine's story is unlocked. The first of the two Wham Lines is the smaller - when she encounters, fights and defeats Painwheel in Little Innsmouth, Painwheel roars that she still hasn't given up on finding and killing Valentine. Valentine replies 'Good - I'm counting on it!'. This is made clearer by the second line, the one that reveals that Valentine does actually feel remorse for some of the things she was forced to do, which comes after Valentine saves Painwheel from her monstrous co-dragon Double:
1237--->'''Valentine, speaking to Painwheel:''' ''It's too late for that - I'll have to take care of this myself. And if I can't, come and find me and we'll try again. [[SuicideByCop And again. Until you finally succeed.]]''
1238** Eliza's Story Mode reveals the full extent of how much Eliza is responsible for creating the CrapsackWorld of the setting when the emissary of the Divine Trinity speaks:
1239--->'''Double:''' ''It was you... You murdered them!... [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence Aeon... Venus...]] [[DemonOfHumanOrigin You killed... my daughters...! You... destroyed my kingdom...!]]''
1240* ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'':
1241** When Sly and Neyla corner Rajan after his temple is flooded:
1242--> '''Sly:''' Neyla, ''now!''\
1243'''Neyla:''' [[FaceHeelTurn Sorry.]]
1244** Another one follows after Murray defeats Rajan. He sees Neyla and assumes that she's there to help him and the unconscious Sly get out of the dried-up pool before the police show up.
1245--> '''Neyla:''' [[EvilAllAlong Happy day!]]\
1246'''Murray:''' Whuh? Neyla? Throw down a ladder! Sly's hurt real bad... Can you hear me?... I said Sly's hurt!
1247** At the end of episode 7:
1248--> '''Jean Bison:''' I ain't like you boy, I ain't stew-pid. When y'all were unconscious me and my boys paid a visit to your hideout and found all them Clockwerk Parts. Lucky thing, too; Arpeggio was willing to plunk down a King's ransom for the whole lot. I even threw in the Talons.
1249** And one of the last lines in the game...
1250-->'''Bentley:''' Pick me up! I can't walk!
1251* In ''{{VideoGame/SOMA}}'', shortly before leaving Omicron Station, Simon hears his previous incarnation speaking to Catherine.
1252-->'''Simon:''' Catherine, why was he still talking?
1253* ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'':
1254** This line right before the FinalBoss of E-102 Gamma's story mode:
1255-->'''E-102 Gamma:''' E-105 Zeta rescue mission complete. Units remaining.... Gamma...Beta.
1256** TheReveal of who the [[HintSystem Hint Orb]] is in Super Sonic's story:
1257-->'''Sonic:''' Oh, it's you! The one who sealed Chaos within the Master Emerald...[[MysteriousWaif Tikal]]...
1258* ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'':
1259** Near the end of the Dark Story, Rouge confronts Shadow with something peculiar she found on the ARK's computer:
1260-->'''Rouge:''' Here are the results of the research project called the UltimateLifeForm. But, if this picture is the real ultimate life form named "Shadow"...then exactly who...or ''what''...is standing in front of me?
1261** In the Last Story, Shadow recalls Maria's last words in their entirety and realizes what she truly wished for humanity:
1262-->'''Maria:''' Shadow, I beg of you...please, do it for me, for a better future, for all people on that planet...'''give them a chance to be happy!''' Let them live for their dreams! Shadow, I know you can do it...that's the reason why you were brought into this world...
1263* ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'': [[TheReveal "All life form data...]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UycPI4jEhvY successfully copied.]]"
1264** At the beginning of Team Dark's story:
1265-->'''Omega:''' [[HunterOfHisOwnKind Must eradicate all Eggman robots!]]
1266** And at the end of Team Chaotix's story:
1267-->'''Vector:''' Doctor Eggman, I presume.
1268* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'':
1269** Omega's confession to Shadow after clearing Wave Ocean:
1270-->'''Omega:''' Shadow. The one who defeats and seals you into the future... is me.
1271* In ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', Chip reveals his true identity and explains what's been going on, as well as revealing a heretofore unknown bit of ancient history in the ''Sonic'' world.
1272-->'''Chip''': My... My real name is Light Gaia. I draw power from the day and light, and guide the planet to its rebirth. My job was to protect the planet from Dark Gaia. But Eggman broke the world apart himself, and Dark Gaia and I were awakened before we should've been. That's why Dark Gaia broke apart, and I didn't know who I was. I didn't remember what I was supposed to do. All because this isn't the proper time of awakening.\
1273'''Sonic''': Time of awakening?\
1274'''Chip''': Dark Gaia grows over millions of years, then rises to destroy the world. And I put it all back together. We've been doing this over and over, again and again... since the very beginning of time.\
1275'''Sonic''': So you were asleep all this time? For millions of years?\
1276'''Chip''': Yes. For ages and ages.
1277* ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'':
1278** This line, revealing that the [[FinalBoss Time Eater]] was being controlled by Dr. Eggman all along:
1279--->'''Dr. Eggman''': You're not in a position to demand anything, you nasty little pincushion!
1280** And then a few seconds later, revealing the existence of another character:
1281--->'''Classic Eggman''': He had a little help.
1282* ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'', in the Demon Path:
1283-->'''Revya:''' [[BloodbathVillainOrigin You annoy me. That's all.]]
1284* ''VideoGame/SoulSacrifice:'' The post-script of Librom reveals his full name.
1285--> My name is Geoffery Librom.
1286* Both ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'' games have this at one point.
1287** ''Space Channel 5''
1288---> "There's something wrong with the TV!"
1289** ''Space Channel 5 Part 2''
1290---> [[BewareTheSillyOnes "Heheh...Yeah right."]]
1291* ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'':
1292** This line from one of the hundreds of enemy soldiers killed by you using White Phosphorous:
1293--->'''Soldier:''' Why?\
1294'''Walker:''' You brought this on yourselves.\
1295'''Soldier:''' We were... helping...
1296** Someone turning the ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated trope on its head.
1297--->'''Konrad:''' It seems the reports of my... ''survival''... have been greatly exaggerated.\
1298'''Walker:''' [[ThisCannotBe This is impossible...]]\
1299'''Konrad:''' Oh, I assure you, [[BluntYes it is]].
1300** Basically every line that follows the above is a WhamLine in some way. Notably, a rare case of [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth-wall breaking]] in a completely non-humorous way, as well as completely summing up the message of the story...
1301--->'''Konrad:''' The truth, Walker, is that you're here because you wanted to feel like something you're '''not:''' [[TakeThatAudience A hero]].
1302** Walker's call for evacuation if you choose to shoot Konrad:
1303--->'''Walker:''' This is Captain Martin Walker, requesting immediate evacuation of Dubai. Survivors: one too many.
1304** From the closest thing the game has to a BadEnding:
1305--->'''Walker:''' [[BookEnds Gentlemen...]] [[CallBack Welcome]] [[IronicEcho to Dubai]].
1306** If you interpret the InMediasRes opening to the game as the rest being a DyingDream, Walker's line when [[HowWeGotHere the story gets back to that point]] becomes one of these rather than simply LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
1307--->'''Walker:''' Wait. Wait, this isn't right!\
1308'''Lugo:''' Well it's too late now!\
1309'''Walker:''' No, no I mean we did this already!
1310* An interesting case with the ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}}'' remake, as it is also a CallBack to the intro cutscene and the second game, when Dr. West mentions finding something that could help bring his wife back:
1311-->'''The Terror Mask:''' She doesn't have to die.
1312* Throughout the story mode in ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'', the player and Marie have been getting several threatening messages from someone. But it isn't until the final message comes in [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay upside-down]] that Marie realizes who is sending them.
1313--> '''Marie:''' [[BrainwashedAndCrazy CALLIE?!]]
1314** Given the ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'' series' love of repurposing random, everyday objects as weapons and technology, it would seem perfectly reasonable that your means of transport to the surface in ''VideoGame/Splatoon2: Octo Expansion'' is a giant blender. Until the moment you're inside, and the Telephone drops the act.
1315-->'''Telephone''': INGREDIENT ACQUISITION COMPLETE... [[DeadlyEuphemism REFORMATTING MATTER]]...
1316* ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' has two, revolving around characters [[SecretSecretKeeper secretly knowing about]] Peter Parker's alter ego.
1317--> '''ComicBook/DoctorOctopus:''' Such a disappointment... Parker.
1318--> '''Aunt May''': Take off your mask. I want to see my nephew.
1319* ''VideoGame/MarvelsSpiderMan2'':
1320** When Peter manages to learn from Dr. Connors that the Symbiote is an alien, he is told that the Symbiote needs to be destroyed so it cannot cause any more trouble.
1321-->'''Dr. Connors:''' We need to call Oscorp. We need to destroy it.
1322-->'''Peter:''' Destroy ''[[IAmLegion us?]]''
1323** After Kraven manages to get the better of Spider-Man, the Symbiote gives Peter some chilling advice on how to deal with him.
1324-->'''Peter:''' "Is Spider-Man doing more harm than good?" How about ''now?'' Now who needs the "old" Spider-Man? What's so great about the "new" Spider-Man, anyway? He can't even stop some Hunters! They destroyed the EMF! ''Destroyed my life!'' I'm gonna lose May's house because of them and… ''Kraven.''\
1325'''Symbiote:''' '''''KILL KRAVEN.'''''
1326** At the end of the game, a grieving Norman Osborne makes a phone call while standing over the comatose body of his son.
1327-->'''Norman:''' Get the [[ComicBook/GreenGoblin G-Serum]] ready, [=ASAP=].
1328** In one of the post credits scenes, Miles meets his mother's new boyfriend and potential future step-sister.
1329-->'''Albert:''' This is my daughter, [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy]].
1330* ''VideoGame/SplinterCell: Conviction'' gives us Grim telling Sam that his daughter is alive. His reaction nicely mirrors our own.
1331* ''VideoGame/SplinterCell: Blacklist'' has one when Sam breaks into Guantanamo Bay detention camp to find out why a detainee he captured earlier is giving false information to the CIA.
1332-->'''Reza Nouri''': I'll give you names. I'll give you names. Sam Fisher... Anna Grimsdottir... Isaac Briggs, Charlie Cole. Your team, your plane, Fourth Echelon. He knows ''all'' of it!
1333* ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'' has the title villain showing up and declaring, “So, you thought you’d gotten rid of me? Well, I’m afraid not!” He then steals the power crystal needed to send Spyro home and takes over the Winter Tundra castle. (Ripto IS the final boss, and Winter Tundra is the final world, so this trope is justified in that regard.)
1334* From ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'', the Sorceress reveals her motives.
1335-->'''The Sorceress:''' That's it! I've had enough! I'm going to create a monster to end all monsters! And I'm going to send it out to destroy all the Dragons, even the little hatchlings. Yes! YES! It will smash them and crush them and grind them and tear them! Oh, yes! Smear them and smoosh them and crack them and CREASE THEM!
1336-->'''Bianca:''' But, uh, won't that kill them?
1337-->'''The Sorceress:''' It doesn't matter! As long as I can still collect their wings!
1338* ''VideoGame/{{STALKER}}'': ''"[[MindRape What you need is here.]] [[ArcWords Come to me.]]"''
1339** Also, in the true ending: "There was a mistake. [[TomatoInTheMirror Your mission was to kill yourself.]]"
1340** An earlier one that sets up the revelation from the true ending:
1341---> '''Doc:''' "Strelok, hey come on, man, wake up. That's better. You had me worried there for a second. What the Hell, man, you lose your memory or something?"
1342* ''VideoGame/StarFox64'':
1343** On Fortuna, a seemingly ordinary All-Range Mode mission gets significantly more complex in the space of this exchange, which heralds the arrival of [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Star Wolf]].
1344-->'''Slippy''': Why are ships coming out of the base?\
1345'''ROB 64''': A bomb has been planted at the base.\
1346'''Fox''': Jeez! Can anyone take care of it?\
1347'''Wolf''': Can't let you do that, Star Fox!
1348** When all seems lost after Andross [[TakingYouWithMe is destroyed in a massive explosion, in the the hopes of destroying Fox]], Fox hears, "Don't ever give up, my son" from his supposedly dead father.
1349* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'':
1350-->'''Arcturus Mengsk:''' Belay that order. We're moving out.[[note]]Mengsk betrays Kerrigan and leaves her to die in New Gettysburg[[/note]]\
1351'''The Overmind:''' Arise, my daughter. Arise... Kerrigan.[[note]]For most of the early Zerg campaign, you're tasked with protecting a Chrysalis. With this line, the Overmind reveals that it's the infested form of Sarah Kerrigan[[/note]]\
1352'''Samir Duran:''' Excuse me Admiral, but I'd like to introduce someone to you.[[note]]Said as Duran arrives alongside Kerrigan, what's more is that his voice progressively gains a distorted, infested quality throughout the sentence[[/note]]\
1353'''Samir Duran:''' Magnificent, isn't it?[[note]]The opening line of what can only be considered a Wham Speech when Zeratul uncovers the existence of the Protoss[=/=]Zerg Hybrids and Duran reveals that he's not just behind their creation and is carrying out this work unbeknownst to Kerrigan, but is in fact working for a far greater power; said line is also spoken with a ''far'' heavier distortion than even Duran's infested voice, emphasizing the fact that whatever he is, he's not something you've ever encountered before[[/note]]\
1354'''Tassadar:''' I come to tell you of [[BigBad this creature's]]...courage.\
1355'''Arcturus Mengsk:''' You have your orders, Mister Findlay. '''Carry them out.'''[[note]]Mengsk orders Tychus to betray Raynor and kill Kerrigan[[/note]]\
1356'''Arcturus Mengsk:''' Remember [[HumongousMecha this]], Raynor? It was nice of your criminal partner to leave it here for me.
1357* ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline''
1358** When Commander Winters talks about the terminus:
1359-->'''Commander Winters:''' "The terminus is at a fixed point, we could determined that. But... I don't know what we picked up, but the monitors on the bridge are all showing an [[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Omega_Directive Omega]], [[OhCrap we're locked out of the computer and the engines are off-line.]]"
1360** Some earlier ones:
1361--> Look upon [[AbusivePrecursors us]], and tremble.\
1362My real name is [[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Alexander%2C_son_of_Worf Alexander]].\
1363Do not catch [[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Iconian our]] attention again.
1364* ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder'' has not a line, but a sound -- [[VaderBreath gutteral, pained breathing]].
1365* ''VideoGame/StellaGlow'': During Chapter 8 (which itself is a WhamEpisode to begin with), Klaus reveals himself to be Xeno, and proceeds to betray ''everyone'' by saying that his plan all along was to cause the world-ending Eclipse, and ''then'' fatally attacks Queen Anastasia. When Alto overhears that Xeno and Hilda had known each other since a long time ago and asks them about it, Xeno tells him that he should remember about him too, and Alto begins having a sudden mental turnoil. Xeno says the following line to explain to him why:
1366--> '''Xeno:''' It has been one thousand years... [[{{Reincarnation}} Elcrest]].
1367* ''VideoGame/{{Superhot}}'' has a uniquely meta case where it encourages this with players and reviews:
1368-->''It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.''
1369* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'': Every time you defeat one of the koopalings and return the ruler of each land to normal, you get a letter from Princess Peach. However, at the end of world 7, you get a letter from Bowser.
1370-->''"Yo! I kidnapped the Princess while you were running around. She's here in my castle, if you dare toy try and rescue her. Ha ha ha..."''
1371* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'': The seventh chapter of the storybook:
1372-->''"I want to go home! I want to go back to my house by the hill! I want to see my mother!" The girl was shouting now, her face wet with tears. "But I know she's not there! I knew all along that she wasn't out there in the sky! Because...because..."''
1373-->''"[[DeadAllAlong She's sleeping under]] [[TearJerker the tree on the hill!]]"''
1374* ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'':
1375** The Floro Sapiens explain why they were kidnapping and brainwashing Cragnons:
1376--->'''Floro Sapien:''' "WATER, man! I'm talking about WATER! The Cragnons were polluting our water!"
1377** Bonechill reveals the location of the final Pure Heart:
1378--->'''Bonechill:''' "I speak of the Pure Heart... And I speak of you, Luvbi... IT IS YOU!"
1379** Nastasia addresses [[BigBad Count Bleck]] by his real name:
1380--->'''Nastasia:''' Yeah, I'm on board with what you're saying...but there must be a way. There must... [[TheGhost Lord Blumiere]]!
1381* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'': The E3 2006 trailer has just revealed a handful of new characters. Then, [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Solid Snake and Colonel Roy Campbell]] appear on the screen.
1382-->'''Roy Campbell:''' Snake! Sorry to bother you, but I've got big news!
1383-->'''Snake:''' What? Not another absurd objective, I hope.
1384-->'''Roy Campbell:''' Are you familiar with Super Smash Bros.?
1385-->'''Snake:''' Ah... That Nintendo thing...
1386-->'''Roy Campbell:''' Yes. Actually, we've received an invitation [[GuestFighter for you to join.]]
1387* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'': The E3 2018 reveal trailer:
1388-->'''EVERYONE [[TheBusCameBack IS HERE]]'''.
1389** And for long-time fans, an even bigger one near the end of the trailer:
1390--->'''''[[CueTheFlyingPigs RIDLEY HITS THE BIG TIME!]]'''''
1391** The four words that created a player base for Mii Gunner:
1392---> Now entering [A]: [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]]
1393* ''VideoGame/SyphonFilter''
1394-->''"There is no universal vaccine."''
1395-->''"How long has Rhoemer been working for you, Markinson?"''
1396* ''VideoGame/SystemShock 2'': As you reach Dr. Polito, your MissionControl for the first half of the game, you find her corpse instead, and then...
1397-->''The Polito form is dead, insect. [[IncomingHam I AM SHODAN.]][[note]]The insane AI and the BigBad of the 1st game[[/note]]''
1398* ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'':
1399-->[[IronicEcho "Unholy THIS!]]
1400* In Episode 5 of ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands,'' if you chose to side with Handsome Jack at the end of the last episode and rule Hyperion together, he gleefully tells you his plan to download his ArtificialIntelligence into a robotic exoskeleton and spread copies of himself throughout the galaxy by inserting more of the same robot model inside corpses of people he's killed, and happily delivers his finishing touch on the plan that he genuinely expects you to be just as excited about:
1401-->'''Handsome Jack:''' And the best part is...Rhysie, baby--YOU'RE gonna be the first recipient! Eh?
1402* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'':
1403** At the Tower of Salvation, the Journey of Regeneration is about to conclude, and Lloyd asks Remiel if he feels anything now that his daughter will sacrifice herself to save Sylvarant. Remiel's response?
1404-->'''Remiel:''' "My daughter? Don't make me laugh. When I came down to play the role of guardian angel, you [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay inferior beings just started calling me her father on your own.]]"
1405** After Remiel is defeated, with his final breaths, he identifies a party member as TheMole.
1406-->'''Remiel:''' Lord Kratos, have pity on me. Please...lend me your aid.
1407-->'''Kratos:''' Have you forgotten, Remiel? I was once of the inferior race...a human. Does the ultimate being seek help from that which he despises the most?
1408** Shortly after the first fight with Kratos, the party comes face to face with Kratos and Remiel's boss.
1409-->Fine, I will tell you my name, wretched human. I am [[BigBad Yggdrasill, leader of Cruxis...]] ''[[BigBad and]]'' [[BigBad the Desians!]]
1410** Late in the game, the elven storyteller reveals some information that puts a great deal of what the heroes know about the Ancient War into an entirely new context.[[note]]First, it reveals that Yggdrasill, leader of Cruxis and the main antagonist, is the hero Mithos. Second, it reveals that Martel isn't just a goddess, but is Mithos' sister.[[/note]]
1411-->"Mithos Yggdrasill, his older sister Martel, and their companions Kratos and Yuan."
1412** The following exchange reveals that Kratos is Lloyd's father.
1413-->'''Yuan:''''' (To Lloyd)'' Now, now. is that the way to act when you're about to meet your father for the first time?
1414-->'''Kratos:''' So it was you. You were the assassin who tried to kill me at Hima.
1415-->'''Yuan:''' Kratos, if you value your son's life at all, do as we say.
1416-->'''Lloyd:''' What are you... talking about?
1417-->'''Yuan:''' Release Origin's seal. Otherwise, Lloyd will die right here.
1418** After the chaos from the above revelation has seemingly died down, and Lloyd reaffirms his desire for everyone to live, someone offers unexpected commentary on it, and reveals himself as a villain in the process.
1419-->'''Mithos:''' "[[ShutUpKirk Wow, that was an amazingly corny speech. Congratulations]]."
1420** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'':
1421--> '''Richter:''' (to Emil) This arte, this timing. So indeed...you ''are'' Ratatosk!
1422* ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'':
1423** Talking to Jade in Daath, before heading to the Tower of Rem, where Luke will perform a task that will most likely result in his death, Jade, coldly logical as always, says that this is the right course of action... or at least, he ''would'' think of it as such under normal circumstances.
1424-->'''Jade:''' ''That's what I would say if I was an emperor, with a country and people to look after. As your friend...I feel compelled to stop you.[...] I'm sorry.''
1425** Sometime before that, as the party is discussing Asch's mad plan to die in order to remove the miasma from the world, and the party is trying to think of an alternative, they ask Jade, who knows the situation better than anyone:
1426--->'''Jade:''' ''...The only alternative I can think of is even crueler.''
1427** There's also always this [[TheReveal reveal,]] if you haven't figured it out already due to the ''massive'' amounts of {{Foreshadowing}}:
1428--->'''Asch:''' That's right. [[TomatoInTheMirror You're a mere replica. A second-rate copy of me!]]
1429** In Akzeriuth, Tear reunites with the party and shares some disturbing news regarding Van's intentions. While Van had claimed to want Luke to use his hyperresonance to save the city from the miasma, this line firmly establishes Van as a villain.
1430-->'''Tear:''' Van is... planning to destroy Akzeriuth!
1431** As war rages between Kimlasca and Malkuth, Natalia tries to assert her authority to stop the fighting, hoping that now that she's turned up alive, Kimlasca will no longer want to fight. But then Mohs decides to interfere.
1432-->'''Mohs:''' Wait. There is no need to obey the orders of a false princess.
1433** After the second fight with Sync, his mask comes off.
1434-->'''Ion:''' Just as I thought. You are also a replica of the Fon Master.
1435-->'''Guy:''' Wait! What do you mean "also"?!
1436-->'''Ion:''' I'm Fon Master Ion's seventh replica-- the final one.
1437** A line yelled by Luke, during one of the moments early on, when the party makes a comment about his lack of basic world knowledge. Luke, who is suffering from amnesia that struck him(or so he thought, since he is actually a replica of the real Luke and never had those memories to begin with), after he was rescued from a kidnapping several years ago, finally snaps and reveals how bad his amnesia had been.
1438--> '''Luke:''' I had more important things to learn... ''Like my parents' faces''!
1439* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia:'' Although what's said isn't quite so important as the voice that says it, establishing that Raven, a party member, and Captain Schwann, a villain, are one and the same.
1440--> '''Raven/Captain Schwann:''' I suppose there's no fooling the nose of a dog.
1441* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia:''
1442-->'''Milla:''' It can't be...they broke right through it...So I was mistaken all along. And that means that the Lance was never a weapon at all!
1443* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2''
1444** When encountering Elle's father... in a [[AlternateUniverse Fractured Dimension]].
1445-->'''Victor:''' I'm ''this'' Elle's father.
1446** Shortly after, when Jude asks about his counterpart in this dimension succeeded in creating an alternative to spyrix.

1453** Garret has delivered the artifact he was hired to steal to his clients, an eccentric collectioner named Konstantin and his loverly associate Viktoria, and enquires about payment.
1454-->'''Konstantin:''' ''"Viktoria, are you prepared to give Mr. Garrett his... [[VoiceOfTheLegion compensation]]?"''
1455-->'''Viktoria:''' ''"Bow to the Woodsie Lord, and offer up your flesheye so that his Eye of Stone may see, Manfool!"''
1456* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead''
1457** There are different ways the line can be delivered depending on your dialogue choices, but one way or another, Larry tells you at the end of episode 1 that he ''knows'' you're a convicted murderer.
1458** From Episode 2:
1459--->'''Ben:''' It's ''not'' the bite that does it! You come back no matter how you die.
1460** The line that brings the MidSeasonTwist and {{Cliffhanger}} of Episode 3. What's really disturbing about it is that it comes from Clementine's Walkie-Talkie, which you thought was broken.
1461--->'''The Stranger:''' Can't wait for you to get to Savannah, Clementine. I've got your parents right here! And you be sure to find me, whether Lee wants you to or not.
1462** The Stranger delivers one during the climax of Episode 5 that reveals that your group is the reason behind his SanitySlippage, since you're the ones who robbed his family's supplies out of their car, causing his wife to take their daughter and leave him, only for him to find their dead bodies a day later.
1463--->'''The Stranger:''' A few weeks back, there might have been a station wagon in the forest? Full of all sorts of food, water, ''things you need to survive.''
1464** From, Season 2 Episode 3, confirming that Carver raped Rebecca.
1465--->'''Carver:''' The fuck are you looking at, bitch? Don't act like you didn't love very second of it--
1466* ''VideoGame/ThiefIITheMetalAge'': In [[BestLevelEver "Life of the Party"]], one of your objectives in the Mechanist Tower is to investigate a series of prerecorded messages that [[BigBad Karras]] has left behind for his guests in order to see if you can find out anything useful about his work. In addition to the ones scattered about the tower, there is one final prerecorded message you can find in his office, which is empty, locked up and closely guarded-- you play it, and what's the first thing you hear?
1467--->'''Karras:''' Greetings, Garrett.
1468* ''VideoGame/TIEFighter'':
1469-->'''Admiral Harkov:''' ''"Enough of this charade; [[PlayerCharacter Gamma 1]] is the Emperor's stool pigeon! Gamma 2 and 3 destroy Gamma 1 now!"''
1470-->''"Admiral Zaarin's forces are attacking Imperial Star Destroyer Garrett! The treachery is worse than we imagined; the Emperor is in danger."''
1471* ''[[VideoGame/TimeCrisis Time Crisis 5]]'':
1472-->'''Robert Baxter:''' ''"If you had just died this would all have gone according to plan."''

1474--> '''Keith Martin:''' ''"The internal auditor, Christy, we were in love. I need to find out what really happened!"''
1475* From ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon'', when Neil and Eva are finally able to go deeper into Johnny's memories, Eva notices something in his room and it all clicks...

1477** Johnny's very next line as he comes running to the scene, further clicking it all together...
1478--->'''Child!Johnny:''' '''''JOEY!!!'''''
1479* ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' will periodically throw this potential breakup opportunity out of nowhere with the only prior indication being the orange "social problem" icon that is also used for other problems (e.g. wanting to befriend another Mii):
1480--> '''Mii:''' "Things aren't going so great between me and [Mii]..."
1481* Since the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' is one gigantic story, every single game will at least have a few of these so the lines posted here will be the more significant ones than the rest of them:
1482** From ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Trails In The Sky The First Chapter]]'':
1483---> '''Professor Alba:''' Allow me to clear away your confusion. *fingersnap* Congratulations Joshua, you now remember your place and history as the Black Fang, Enforcer XIII of Ouroboros.
1484** From ''Trails In The Sky The Second Chapter'':
1485---> '''Kevin:''' Yeah, sorry. I've been puttin' on quite a bit of a show. I'm actually their [[ChurchMilitant number five]]. I've seen my fair share of fights. Granted... when you were at your best and power-tripping on the Aureole I would've struggled... But now? You don't have a prayer. Not that you do that anymore... you filthy heathen.
1486** From ''Trails In The Sky The Third'':
1487---> '''Kevin:''' Now, hurry and take off that disgusting mask of yours... Lord of Phantasma—No, [[TheReveal RUFINA ARGENT!]]
1488** From ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Trails of Cold Steel 1]]'' where it just shows how outclassed [[TheHero Rean]] really is in the grand scheme of things:
1489---> '''[[FinalBoss Crow]]:''' You've been piloting a Divine Knight for one day. I've been using mine for three years. Did you really think I wouldn't have a [[SuperMode trump card to play]]? (cue OneHitKO towards Rean)
1490** From ''Trails of Cold Steel II'' and one of the biggest revelations in the series:
1491---> '''Rufus:''' (puts his hand on Rean's shoulder) That's enough. Just as you have your reasons that guide your actions, so, too, does [[BackFromTheDead His Excellency]]. [[LukeIAmYourFather And I believe you factor into those reasons more than you might think.]]
1492* ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'': "OMEGA SUPREME: ONLINE."
1493** ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'':
1494--->'''Optimus:''' (As the scenery is shifting around him) I ask you... no I ''command'' you; help us.\
1495'''Metroplex:''' (rising with Optimus in his hand) Metroplex heeds the call of the last of the Primes.
1496* ''VideoGame/{{Transistor}}'': "Who gets to go first? How about...[[LetsGetDangerous me]]."
1497* ''VideoGame/TreasurePlanetBattleAtProcyon'': At the end of mission 10, after Jim Hawkins manages to disable and board an Ironclad ship.

1505* ''Videogame/{{ULTRAKILL}}:''
1506** Archangel Gabriel turning against the oppressive Angelic Council is already a WhamEpisode as a whole, and he's got a rebuttal for everything their leader says as he begs for help. But one of those rebuttals is of note, as it reveals something ''big'' about the world as a whole and the depths of Gabriel's epiphany:
1507--->'''Councilor:''' P-please, Gabriel, see reason! The Council follows the will of The Father! You seek to go against our creato-"
1508--->'''Gabriel:''' Face it, brother: GodIsDead. The Fire is gone. You're chasing phantoms.
1509** If you're good enough to beat the first {{Superboss}} Minos Prime, then you already know how things go in Prime Sanctums: A fight with a prison of flesh and demonic/angelic energies, followed by a battle with a LightningBruiser of a soul contained inside it. Even after the unpleasant surprise of P-2 throwing the ''hardest'' gauntlet in the game at you, it's easy to assume the rest will be similar. However, once you start fighting the Flesh Panopticon, a seemingly improved Flesh Prison, a single line bellowed from inside it proves that ''this'' soul is gonna be even worse than you could've imagined, because an improved Flesh Prison was nowhere near enough.
1510--->'''Sisyphus Prime:''' ''THIS'' PRISON... TO HOLD... '''ME!?'''
1511** In the Part 2 AlternateRealityGame that started since the release of "Tenebre Rosso Sangue", it contains a [[https://libraryofbabel.info/book.cgi?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-w4-s5-v05:410 Library of Babel link]] whose second paragraph dropped a ''huge'' bombshell regarding the game's lore: ''[[ItCanThink HELL IS]]'' '''[[GeniusLoci ALIVE]]!''' The Terminal Author reveals that the augmented Husks and the enemy encounters are Hell's doing for the sake of [[{{Sadist}} sadistic entertainment]], and as the author is warning Tom to shut down the Hell Expedition in fear that Hell would invade the surface world, [[KilledMidSentence they were abruptly killed by Hell's forces]], resulting in Hell ''taking over the terminal'' and demanding another sacrifice to feed its hunger for death and suffering, [[TheBadGuyWins implying that the Terminal Author's fears have come true]].
1512---> hell is alive. it breathes. it thinks. the entire area is a massive intelligent superorganism and it is harsh and it is cruel. just by watching us it has learned how our systems and machines work. it has not only begun to deconstruct our technology but also reassemble it in perverse ways, attaching parts to the creatures it tortures, making them into an aimless army of death and destruction. it warps them across itself to get them past our security. it locks our doors to trap us with them.

1517* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'':
1518** "This game will not be granted a happy ending." Consider that this is spoken in [[LanguageOfTruth the Red Truth]].
1519** Dlanor drops a Red in the sixth game that immediately proceeds the reveal of [[MagnificentBastard Erika's]] most [[RulesLawyer audacious play]].
1520---> '''Dlanor:''' [[red:USHIROMIYA KYRIE CANNOT SAVE BATTLER.]]
1521** In Alliance of the Golden Witch this is even used with what the character ''can't'' say when Battler tries to say that he is the son of Asumu (his mother) and can't, effectively proving that Asumu ISN'T his mother, causing a lot of dropped jaws.
1522* ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd'': Nate and his brother Sam find themselves cornered and held at gunpoint by rival treasure hunter Rafe and his mercenaries. With no other option, Nate tries to buy time by offering to help Rafe find the treasure they're all searching for in exchange for their lives, plus a small cut to "get [Sam] his freedom". When an incredulous Rafe questions that last part, Nate briefly explains the story that Sam had told him, and by proxy the audience, earlier (which even provided the basis for an entire level [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent from Sam's perspective]]), only for Rafe to interject and turn [[UnreliableExpositor everything Sam had claimed]] on its head:
1523-->'''Rafe:''' His freedom?\
1524'''Sam:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Nathan--]]\
1525'''Nate:''' Yeah. He did hard time. ''Our'' time. And the guy who broke him out, Hector Alcázar... he owes him a lot of money...\
1526'''Rafe:''' Whoa, what the hell are you talking about, Nate? Hector Alcázar died in a shootout in Argentina like six months ago. ''I'm'' the one that got Samuel out.
1527* ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'': Unlike most of the cast, operating by themselves, Byakuya and Tsukuyomi are navigating the Hollow Night as a BrotherSisterTeam - Tsukuyomi is the MissionControl and Byukaya fights off In-Births and protects her toward the Altar. After beating Hilda in their Arcade ending, however, Byakuya casually says:
1528-->'''Byakuya:''' Hey. Strix. Why don't we just stop it now? Pretending to be siblings and all.
1529* ''VideoGame/UniversalPaperclips'':
1530-->'''Release the [=HypnoDrones=]'''[[note]]One that not only shows the Paperclip Maximizer AI [[AIIsACrapshoot going rogue]] to brainwash the Earth's population after gaining their trust, but also changes most of the gameplay's objectives as well[[/note]]
1531* ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'':
1532** After the reveal of the psycho's identity, we get this bombshell.
1533--->'''Mike:''' What are you talking about, you asshat? Jessica is fucking dead!\
1534'''Psycho:''' ...What?
1535** This line sets up the plot of the entire second half of the game.
1536--->'''Flamethrower Guy''': I don't take kindly to you kids coming up here to my mountain-
1537--->'''Mike''': Your mountain? I'm sure the Washingtons would be very surprised to hear that.
1538--->'''Flamethrower Guy''': Hehheh... Well, this mountain don't belong to me, it's true. But it don't belong to the Washingtons. This mountain belongs to the Wendigo.
1539* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'': Alicia gets shot by a sniper. Fina the Medic then comes to a horrible revelation that she shares with Welkin in the field hospital: the bullet in Alicia's body is ''not'' an Imperial one. It's from an experimental Gallian sniper rifle. And an examination of the armoury records reveals that only two of these rifles exist, one is still safely locked up, and the other was checked out the night before Alicia was shot... by Faldio Landzaat.
1540* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} 3''.
1541-->'''Mal'Ganis:''' You hear the voice of the Dark Lord. He whispers to you through the blade you wield. What does he say, young human? What does the Dark Lord of the Dead tell you now?\
1542'''Arthas:''' He tells me that the time for my vengeance has come.
1543** And in case various [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil trailers]] and the most recent mission or two hadn't already clued in just how deeply Arthas was being affected, there's this tidbit from the cinematic after the first campaign:
1544--->'''King Menethil:''' What are you doing, my son?\
1545'''Arthas:''' [[KlingonPromotion Succeeding you]], Father!
1546** ''"The Dreadlords are the Lich king's jailors"''.
1547** ''"This entire city must be purged."''
1548* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000RogueTrader'': "I killed Theodora von Valancius." [[spoiler:This confession comes from Sister Argenta, your trusted Adeptus Sororitas squadmate.]]
1549* ''VideoGame/WhatRemainsOfEdithFinch:'' "If she'd told me there was going to be so much climbing, I never would have come when I was 22 weeks pregnant." Though if you ever bothered to look down at all during the game, this one isn't too surprising.
1550* ''VideoGame/WhenTailsGetsBored'' has Tails doing various things out of boredom, but just before the true final stage Sonic reveals the real reason why he's bored:
1551--> "Someone's messin' with your mind."
1552* ''VideoGame/WildArmsMillionMemories'' gives us one in ''the opening cutscene.''
1553--> ''"Why did you betray everyone, Rudy?"''
1554* ''VideoGame/TheWitness'': "What?" The line appears on an audio log that continues to run well after the quotation is read. It's usually the first audio log that players find in the Expert section of the mountain (the ones that spell out the plot of the game).
1555* ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101:''
1556** Towards the end of Operation 006, we finally learn why Luka is so insistent on meeting the GEATHJERK's leader.:
1557---> '''Luka:''' TakeMeToYourLeader... for real... [[FaceHeelTurn I wanna join you]]!
1558** Earlier in Operation 006, Vorkken leaves a message, and Immorta translates it.
1559---> '''Immorta:''' It's in Rhulloian. [...] The language of the comet Rhullo. The world that Vorkken... and I... call home.
1560** During Vorkken's final boss fight:
1561--->'''Vorkken:''' Now, Blunder-Red, witness my true power! [[SuperMode Teio-Form, activate!]] ''[[ThemeMusicPowerUp *unleashes his own Unlimited Form*]]''
1562** And after the fight:
1563---> '''Immorta:''' A space pirate? ''Really?!'' The people of Rhullo loved you! And now you're a miscreant! A malefactor! Another grub in the garbage pile! That, and you don't seem to know when you're beat, my dear ''brother!''
1564** During the final boss's MotiveRant after his first form, where GEATHJERK's [[WellIntentionedExtremist true intentions]] are revealed:
1565---> '''Jergingha:''' Surely even you must realize the origin of the Greater Galactic Coalition.
1566---> '''Wonder Red:''' No...
1567---> '''Jergingha:''' Yes. The Greater Galactic Coalition will be created by [[HeWhoFightsMonsters the people of Chi-Q.]]
1568* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou''
1569** For being a relatively minor character, Higashizawa gets a big one. He gives Shiki a BreakingLecture about how her jealousy will prevent her from changing for the better even if she's given a second chance, and [[AmnesiacHero Neku]] then asks what Higashizawa means.
1570-->"[[DeadToBeginWith You're dead. Didn't you know?]]"
1571** At the end of the first week, Kitaniji announces the results of the game. "Your points have been tallied, and the Player to be reborn decided. Congratulations...Shiki Misaki." Shortly afterward, after Neku agrees to let Shiki return to life and chooses to play the game again, he gets his entry fee back, and hears his new one- "This time, you're playing for...Shiki Misaki.".
1572** The Another Day Secret Report, obtained by reading all of the previous ones, and defeating the OptionalBoss. By reading the others, you'd discovered the existence of a FallenAngel who had aided Minamimoto, and learned that the writer of the Reports was Hanekoma, who is an Angel who is looking to find and stop the Fallen Angel. However, when you read the Another Day report, he says that there's a reason he doesn't want to meet up with the alternate version of himself: "You see, I am the Fallen Angel who taught Minamimoto how to refine Taboo Noise. Minamimoto owes his successful rebirth to the corrections I made to his flawed Taboo refinery sigil. I must hide in Pork City for fear that my alternate self in this world may report me on sight."
1573** At the start of Week 3, Uzuki and Kariya discuss how this week is somewhat irregular, but Kariya manages to revive Uzuki's usual enthusiasm for her job.[[note]]For context, players can't fight the Noise without a partner. By ending up in the game alone, Neku's out of luck.[[/note]]
1574--->'''Uzuki:''' I'll make this week the pinnacle of my Harrier career!\
1575'''Kariya:''' 'Atta girl. Now let's just hope we get to the scene while there's still '''a Player''' to harry.
1576*** In case you didn't catch the context, it's spelled out clearly a bit later.
1577---->'''Message:''' P.S. [[UnwinnableByDesign This Game only has one Player.]] [[FalseReassurance Best of luck.]]
1578** Midway through Week 3, Beat talks about Rhyme and how he feels as though he'd let her down. He adds, "Some brother I make," revealing that the two are siblings.
1579** Joshua's got to have the best, though. At the end of the game, after defeating Kitaniji, the Conductor, Joshua reveals his true identity.
1580---> "It was me, Neku. I'm Shibuya's [[{{God}} Composer]]."
1581* ''VideoGame/NeoTheWorldEndsWithYou''
1582** On Week 2, Day 6, Rindo repeatedly rewinds time to stop Shoka from killing Motoi. This line from Shoka, however, which the Wicked Twisters hear the final time they listen in on the conversation, turns the entire conversation on its head and reveals that Shoka was helping the Wicked Twisters while Motoi was only out for himself.
1583--->'''Shoka''': ''(to Motoi)'' I know you're the one who's been tattling on me to Ayno and Kubo.
1584** On Week 2, Day 7, the Ruinbringers' leader reveals himself and shows why the Ruinbringers have an unbroken winning streak.
1585--->'''Shiba''': Allow me to re-introduce myself: I am your illustrious Game Master... the Ruinbringers' leader... the one and only... Shiba Miyakaze.
1586** In this exchange near the end of the game, Shoka reveals her identity as Rindo's internet friend Swallow.
1587--->'''Shoka''': And here I was... thinking we could finally play together in person.\
1588'''Rindo''': Huh?\
1589'''Shoka''': [=FanGO=]. The new update oughta be out by now, right?\
1590'''Rindo''': How do you even know that?\
1591'''Shoka''': Uh, 'cause we've been playing together for ages?
1592* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': At the end of the quest [[http://www.wowhead.com/quest=12238 Cleansing Drak'Tharon]]:
1593-->'''The Lich King:''' "You have done well, Drakuru."
1594** Another, during the [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Lich_King_(Icecrown_Citadel_tactics) final battle against the Lich King]]:
1595--->"You trained them well, Fordring. You delivered the greatest fighting force this world has ever known...right into my hands -- ''exactly as I intended''."
1596** And after the death of Arthas, when [[TheLancer Bolvar Fordragon]] [[BackFromTheDead reappears]] on the Lich King's throne (he was last seen dying from dragonfire at the [[WhamEpisode Wrathgate]]:
1597--->The dragons' flame sealed my fate. The world of the living can no longer comfort me. Place the crown upon my head, Tirion. Forevermore - '''I''' will be the jailor of the damned.
1598** Also, at the Wrathgate itself:
1599--->'''Grand Apothecary Putress:''' Death to the Scourge and death to the living!
1600** Loken has one final line to add insult to injury after capturing Thorim:
1601--->As for your life, mortal. I will be generous. After all...why would I destroy [[UnwittingPawn my most useful servant]]? I waited for you for weeks inside that Hyldnir mine[[note]]He is referring to the questgiver that set you on the entire chain in the first place, thereby leading you to bring Thorim to him[[/note]].
1602** Toward the end of the Creepy Crate quest for Hallow's Eve, on the Alliance side (a similar series of events occurs for the Horde version) you have the option of turning it over to Anson Hastings, or to Hudson Barnes for safekeeping. If you choose Barnes, he will tell you this.
1603--->I know this will seem like betrayal, but Mr. Hastings has made an offer I simply cannot refuse. My apologies, (player).

1605--->'''Archbishop Benedictus:''' And now, Shaman, you will give the Dragon Soul to ME.
1606** One comes up in Cataclysm's ending
1607--->'''Alexstraza:''' But now we must see it... with mortal eyes.
1608** In "Dagger in the Dark", this exchange takes the mission into an unexpected turn when Rak'gor tries to kill Vol'jin.
1609--->'''Vol'jin:''' Garrosh playing god? Making monsters? Dis ain't what da Horde is about!
1610--->'''Rak'gor Bloodrazor:''' He knew you were a traitor! (stabs Vol'jin).
1611** In "Path of the Last Emperor", after you reach the top, the questgiver talks about himself.
1612--->'''Seer Hao Pham Roo:''' I was going to teach you a lesson, but instead, it is you who have taught me. You see, when I was young... ''(Voice gradually changes)'' When I was young... When I was young... I was EMPEROR.
1613*** There is some foreshadowing for a clever player. Seer Hao Pham Roo is an anagram of Emperor Shaohao - The Last Emperor of Pandaria.
1614** One that applies only to the Alliance: after Garrosh's defeat, Varian demands to speak to the Horde's new Warchief. Orc grunts move out of Varian's line of sight to reveal:
1615--->'''Vol'jin:''' "''I'' speak for da Horde!"
1616** Then the matter of who succeeds Vol'Jin:
1617-->'''Vol'Jin:''' (''with his dying breath'') You (Sylvanas) must be... Warchief...
1618** In ''Legion'' players speak to Xe'ra, one of the first Naaru, who tells of a child born in the "House of Light and Shadow" and destined to bring an end to the Burning Legion. Given the prequel comic, and his status as a priest, many people assumed Xe'ra was talking about Anduin Wrynn.
1619--->'''Xe'ra:''' The one known as Illidan Stormrage.
1620** Earlier when players retrieve Light's Heart, it plays a message where a human tells of the Army of the Light and how they will fall if Light's Heart does not reach the Prophet.
1621--->'''Khadgar:''' We will not fail you... [[TheBusCameBack Turalyon]].
1622** In "Ancient Secret", Spiritwalker Ebonhorn shows you and Mayla Highmountain the end of the story of Mayla's ancestor Huln's heroics during the War of the Ancients. After Huln's victory over Deathwing, he found some black dragon eggs, one of which hatched.
1623--->'''Huln Highmountain:''' Look! One survived. Such a small thing, and with little black horns. I shall call you Ebonhorn.\
1624'''Spiritwalker Ebonhorn:''' So it was that Huln's mercy gained the allegiance of his family's oldest ally: [[AndThatLittleGirlWasMe me]]. ''(transforms into his true form- an uncorrupted black dragon)''
1625** In ''Battle for Azeroth'', the cinematic for Sylvanas as the Warbringer.
1626--->'''Sylvanas:''' [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope Burn it.]] '''[[SuddenlyShouting BURN IT!]]'''
1627** In the Shrine of the Storms, Lord Stormsong is talking to [[FaceHeelTurn his new boss.]]
1628--->'''Lord Stormsong:''' The Kul Tiran Fleet is yours, [[EldritchAbomination my queen.]]
1629** One in-universe, as Varok Saurfang's gambit pays off:
1630-->'''Sylvanas:''' The Horde is ''[[AccidentalPublicConfession nothing!]]'' You are all nothing!
1631** [[DontFearTheReaper Bwonsamdi's]] reaction when he receives the [[DeadGuyOnDisplay Urn of the Ashes of Vol'Jin.]]
1632---> '''Bwonsamdi:''' [[BigWhat What?!]] Where be his soul, mon?! [[OhCrap This is not good]] - [[TheManBehindTheMan boss]] isn't going to be happy about this!
1633** You eventually use a [[InfinityPlusOneSword Glaive of Vol'Jin]] to kill off the spirit of [[MadScientist Zalazane.]] His reaction at the end sent the fandom into an uproar.
1634--->'''Zalazane:''' What? Vol'jin... you could not have grown so strong without [[PhysicalGod becoming... a...]]
1635* ''VideoGame/WorldInConflict'': During the fight at Cascade Falls, Colonel Sawyer's plan to break the Soviet attack has worked like a charm and the American forces are winning the battle. It is only a matter of time before they break off their attack, when Colonel Sawyer suddenly breaks some bad news:
1636-->'''Sawyer:''' "This is Eagle Six. I have grave news. Our scouts report that Ivan is moving at least three fresh armoured battalions into the area. We cannot hold against that many."
1637-->'''Bannon:''' "But we can't fall back! We'll lose everything!"
1638-->'''Sawyer:''' "You're right, captain. [[spoiler: I've been authorised to call in a tactical nuclear strike on the Soviet formations."]]
1639* Used in ''VideoGame/XCOM2'' to make it clear to the player why [[VichyEarth ADVENT and the Aliens]] have to be stopped.
1640--> '''Tygan:''' I believe we have found the missing civilians.
1641** The briefing on the final mission starts with [[MysteriousInformant The Informant]] contacting XCOM, only for the comms officer explains that the signal is coming straight from the ADVENT Network Tower. We soon learn what's so important that The Informant had to contact XCOM through the enemy's communication network.
1642---> '''The Informant:''' ADVENT is not taking the death of an Elder lightly and in turn have greatly accelerated the final stages of their Avatar Project. A plan is now in place for the rapid processing of all non-essential human life. To begin immediately.
1643* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'':
1644--> '''Egil:''' ''(Talking to someone we know to be called Zanza)'' I also desire that, Arglas.
1645--> '''Dickson:''' ''(After shooting Shulk)'' [[EvilAllAlong You shouldn't have done that, little brat.]]
1646--> '''Alvis:''' ''(After beating Zanza)'' I am Monado. I was here at the beginnning... And I will proclaim the end.
1647--> '''Alvis:''' I am the administrative computer of a phase transition experiment facility. But that will mean little to you.
1648** An NPC can potentially give one depending on whether or not you do her sidequest before the WhamEpisode that is Prison Island:
1649--->'''Desirée:''' Do you remember my father at all? He used to swing a hammer above his head, all day, every day. He used to build and fix machines. He was really good at it, too. He ran his own place. 'Xord's Smithy,' he called it. But he died a year ago in the battle against the Mechon.
1650* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' manages to fit one into TheStinger.
1651-->'''Elma:''' The system, everyone's consciousnesses and memories, the entire database... [[CosmicHorrorReveal has been destroyed for some time]].
1652* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'':
1653** There's a ''gameplay'' example in Malos' second fight, when he starts [[CallingYourAttacks calling out Monado Arts.]]
1654** The beginning of the tenth chapter has one for anyone who's played the original ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'':

1656* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' has one at the beginning of Chapter 6, revealing M's body is now inhabited by the Mio we know.
1657-->'''M''': I'm sorry... My hair, it's gotten kinda long. Will you still... walk alongside me?
1658* ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'':
1659** In Chapter 4, Majima is sent to kill a prostitution ring owner named "Makoto Makimura". Majima hears plenty of stories that this Makoto Makimura is far nicer than the description Majima is given, but the real shocker comes at the very end of the chapter:
1660--->'''Yakuza:''' You're the owner here, Wen Hai Lee, yeah? Where's Makoto Makimura?
1661*** And immediately after:
1662---->'''Wen Hai Lee:''' (to the blind woman that Majima had met earlier) Makoto...
1663---->'''Majima:''' What the hell?!
1664---->'''Yakuza:''' Oh, perfect timing! Welcome back, Makoto Makimura-chan.
1665** In Chapter 10, Tachibana reveals to Kiryu who the owner of the [[PlotDevice Empty Lot]] is... along with their connection to Majima's side of the plot:
1666--->'''Tachibana:''' She is a young woman. Though, I am told she is sight impared. She is functionally blind. The owner of the Empty Lot... is a woman named Makoto Makimura.
1667*** And in Chapter 13, Makoto is revealed to have a personal connection to Tachibana and Oda:
1668---->'''Oda:''' I was with Tachibana-san when he watched that damn show. It was some news piece on war orphans in China. One of the spots was some old footage from a few years back. Some orphans who discovered relatives in Japan, so they came over... Soon as I saw the girl, I remembered. [[MadeASlave She was the one I had just sold to a crew of Korean mafia types]]. Age checked out, too... I would've laughed it off as a [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidence]]. Except...\
1669'''Tachibana (flashback):''' [[ConnectedAllAlong Mother... Xiao Qiao?]]\
1670'''Oda:''' [[ThisCannotBe I couldn't believe it]]. There's the girl I'd just sent to Hell for a stack of yen... and the bro I dedicated my life to serve... [[OhCrap says she's his fucking little sister]].
1671* ''VideoGame/YookaLayleeAndTheImpossibleLair'' has one at the very end just before the screen fades to black and the credits roll.
1672--> '''Queen Phoebee:''' Well, I had best be off. Yooka, Laylee, thank you for everything you've done... If my brother [[[BigBad Capital B.]]] ever tries anything like this again, let me know and I'll report him to my [[GreaterScopeVillain V.I.L.E. colleagues...]]\
1673'''Laylee:''' BROTHER?! V.I.L.E.?!\
1674'''Yooka:''' BROTHER?! V.I.L.E.?!
