I miss the days of being a kid and not knowing that these were purposely made, and the sense of wonder, fear and astonishment it gave you when you found or came across them online wondering what they meant and if they had any deeper significance than just a gag or reference. The little creepy pastas and explanation people would try to come up with for these things was always fun and left so much to our imagination. good times.

Well, you might not want to hear this, but there are weirder things behind this. See, going back to the earliest days of personal computers there was a lot of unusual activity attributed to them. A lot of the current easter eggs, ideas, etc... came from stories that were circulating back to the days of the Commodore and Apple, and of course before them companies like Atari with it's first cartridge based machines. Of course to be entirely fair this happened to coincide with the so called "Satanic Panic" and it's possible a lot of the weirder things that were out there were done to mess with those people, based on their ideas. That doesn't change the fact however that a lot of effort was put into some very weird things over the years, and the only people that could have done it outright denied it. It doesn't help that certain occultists with a belief that numbers could have power actually did try and do things like work magick through computers. You even had people putting out early programs like those intended for turing test competitions that were supposed to be able to commune with the dead (computer oracles and Ouija boards) and things like that. Movies like one called "Evilspeak" (I think that was the name) drew heavily from this idea, as did later movies like "Brainscan". Anime series like "Seriel Experiments Lain" ran with this idea, and such real world groups were the inspiration for the so called "Knights Of The Eastern Calculus" who were behind the conspiracy in that series. Now personally, I've run into some creepy stuff, but nothing that would be beyond belief, or even on the level of your average creepy pasta. That said, understand there were stories about BBS systems like the legendary "Black Door" (later used for other things) that were supposed to contain horrible secrets, and would likely either drive you insane or cause you to disappear. Interestingly there was one martial arts school out of Hong Kong whose name translated to "The Rarely Found Doorway" or something like this, and they were really popular for a while even selling logo merchandise and stuff as they were promoting themselves as a fitness and dietary program that was actually effective in fighting, and apparently had their people winning all kinds of tournies. The story is that like 25,000 people scattered around Hong Kong, Korea, and China were considered advanced students, practitioners, and disciples of the style, which was hardly seen as a mystical cult thing, all disappeared. Most of the upper echelon went to a party in Hong Kong that was some business thing based on possibilities for western franchising, and almost everyone else was told to check in on BBS systems run by their local schools which were connected by echoes (which is how i heard about it). Apparently all of these people disappeared, and a lot of people were connecting the name of the school to the "Black Door" urban legends over here. The weirdest part is that the British (who ran Hong Kong at the time) refused to let the papers cover it for "national security reasons" and had an odd amount of cooperation from China, and this whole group disappeared over night. This is long, but just pointing out a lot of adults got seriously creeped out by a lot of this stuff too, and there are a good number of mysteries when it comes to things related to computer, games, and telecommunications/internet technology that are simply so old now most people have forgotten, and they will likely never be solved.

Another creepy easter egg in Stardew Valley can happen if you do the ritual at the Dark Shrine of Selfishness to turn your children into doves. Afterward, you have a chance of getting creepy phone calls saying things like "You have forsaken us". Also, if you watch TV on Fall 26 after doing the ritual, a haunted doll will jump out of the TV and will proceed to attack you every time you approach the shrine for the rest of the game.

Hey, just wanted to make a pedantic correction of the WoW Goldshire Children. In reality, nothing about them was intended to be creepy. WoW has always had NPC's that wander to make the world feel more alive. The children wander the road around Goldshire and Storming, going into that house sometimes. The pentagram is just the shape of mobs programmed to keep with one another in a blob as I don't even think WoW NPCs can path in a circle. The "eerie music" that's said to play in the house is the default classic WoW overworld cave music. Most friendly buildings don't have interior music, but that one was set to use the at-the-time default by mistake. The "you will die" is staged by the person who made that video. Its a voice clip from the raid boss C'thun. WoW allows you to create soundboard of any sound in the game data using macros. The person in that video mapped a key to the macro and voila. Very easy trick to pull since they had their UI toggled off. WoW has plenty of real scary stuff scattered all across its many expansions. Its sad that that years old debunked hoax is what gets attention in videos like these

WoW isn't my wheelhouse, but I did play WotLK back in the day, and I remember there being an "easter egg" where C'thun's voicelines would very rarely play while you were in Northrend, or so I was led to believe. It only happened to me once, and I was newer to the game, and had no addons installed, and after doing a spot of research just now, it seems other people have experienced hearing the C'thun lines while visiting the Goldshire Children, but again, I'm not very experienced with the inner-workings of WoW, but there was, also, allegedly an addon, called Deadly Boss Mods (?) that would also play the C'thun lines as their own jokey easter egg, so it's possible the person who made the aforementioned video may have had that addon (it's apparently popular?) and this is them not knowing about the included easter egg. But like I said, I'm not sure what to think, since I never used addons or anything like that when I played WoW.

The first four SH games have such brilliantly horrifying soundtracks-it's honestly 95% of the terror one feels in those games. The devs understood sound design. The indoor theme of SH2 is just a handful of tones repeated and it's utterly chilling. I always go back to the bathroom below the stairwell in the under construction office building in SH3. All you hear is footsteps on the stairs above you. It's literally just a recording of one of the devs walking up some steps and it's one of the most horrifying things ever put to media, full stop. I'm not joking. There's a reason the first four games are still held up decades later as some of the greatest works of horror in existence.

i was never really bothered by horror or violence in games/movies, even when i was pretty young, but seeing the gameboy camera run easter egg on youtube for the first time around the age of 11-12 left me legit traumatized for quite a while.

CORRECTION: the MK9 Crypt monster actually can jumpscare you randomly in the Krypt while you're unlocking stuff not in the main menu. The krypt is it's own play area divided into areas and the nekropolis which lays in front of it.

Ok look I gotta explain the HellValleySkyTrees thing: So the term "Hell Valley" refers to a real place in Japan (Jigokudani) which is a mountainous region with volcanic activity that creates a lot of hotsprings. In the winter it is both snowy and has smoke rising from where the volcanic activity is, and the hotsprings are obviously still hot. The assets for Shiverburn Galaxy were named after this place in Japanese, and when the assets were localized into english it was localized as "hell valley" As for the "tree" part of it, that I'm less sure about but it seems likely that the Kodama theory is correct. They look kinda like Kodama, which are japanese tree spirits, so it's likely that the "tree" part of the file name is another localization, however i'm unsure if the original japanese file names refer to them as Kodama or not.

@nonnoumby

Ай бұрын

In a video in his KZread Channel Masahiro Sakurai revealed that it's common practive in Japanese to name files in english rather than japanese, therefore I think it's likely the SMG2 dev who created those assets simply put the japanese name into google translate and got "hell valley sky tree" and simple went with it

15:34 that's hex maniac, a type of pokemon trainer. What I found on the wikipage: "On the second floor of the Lumiose City's Fighting Dojo building, a Hex Maniac will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away. The meaning of this in-game event, if it has any, is so far unknown." and "In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, on the first floor of Mt. Pyre's inner section, a Hex Maniac says: "... No, you're not the one. ... Ah..." so she's seen as an easter egg in 2 different occasions, saying the same thing, interesting

I love it when people go looking for Easter Eggs that can’t possibly exist. Like thinking that Slender Man is in GTA San Andreas, a game that came out before the character was created.

There is another Stardew Valley easter egg, that I personally find more disturbing than the alien one, referred to as the Dove Children. In the game, you can find a Witch's Hut, where inside there are three Dark Shrines which you can use to affect certain statuses in your game. One wipes the memory of any ex-spouses of yours, making it so they've never met you before. While another simply enables monsters to spawn on your farm. The third is the most disturbing, since it turns the children you have with your spouse, into doves, which will make them fly away and thefore permanently remove them from your game. This unlocks several easter eggs to appear in the game, which involves you encountering dolls (either by fishing it up, or it appearing on your TV), you witness said doves flying in formation at a summit, or you getting a creepy phone call where you hear static and the message "You Have Forsaken Us."

Some more DDLC ones (HEAVY SPOILERS): 1) If you start a new game after deleting Monika's character file, Sayori has a mental breakdown immediately as she bears the burden of knowledge about being a video game character that Monika once held. 2) If you delete Sayori's character file and start a new game, the game opens to a white background with a black and white Sayori hanging from offscreen. Wait around, and the text "now everyone can be happy" will appear. 3) In an earlier version of the game, if you tried to quit the game at the point of finding Sayori dead, the "do you want to quit?" text would warp and Sayori would be superimposed onto it. Also, Act 3 Monika has a completely separate function where she won't read out your personal name at the start of you are recording, with the list of detected software being longer than the jumpscare one. Also also, the Playstation version of DDLC+ is censored, with Yuri's blood being black and her pupils disappearing on the Friday of Act 2.

Small correction: The Mk9 screamer jumpscare occurs in The Krypt. Not the main menu

btw, cry of fear wasn't a mod for half life 2, it was a mod for the first half life game which released in 1998, with the mod starting development around 2005-2006, then releasing the final release in 2012 on moddb and eventually steam.

I will point out with D/P’s Old Chateau and BDSP’s Old Chateau is that the ‘Added’ scares in the remakes were also there in the originals. It was subtle but the picture’s eyes still glowed but it was like 1 pixel and disappeared when you got close. The old man in the dining room was also present.

Cement shoes aren't actually a real method of execution, due to the fact cement has to harden first and that takes quite a while.

An 'easter egg' I found that I haven't been able to find online was in CoD: WWII. Not scary as much somber and mysterious. In one of the missions as you travel up the tower you can find a dying soldier, he reaches out to you and talking to you in German. Asking for forgiveness? Comfort? Mercy? I have no idea, I never found a translation and I've never come across the solider alive again, he's always dead in my replays.

The reversed audio of the Half Life 2 zombie is probably the most haunting and unsettling thing I have ever heard in my life. Just to think that we are having fun while killing them.

for the marvelous bridge ghost, it's actually fleshed out more in the sequels, Black 2/White 2. There's a new haunted location called the strange house where you learn that the ghost girl (likely the same one since they look the same) fell into an endless sleep and passed away. It's actually how you get Cresselia, one of the legendary pokemon.

If you're wondering, that Sound Test Majin Sonic thing was an inside joke among the devs as the dev who was responsible for making the sound test in Sonic CD was nicknamed Majin by his coworkers so he put that in as a joke and the face is a parody of Mario since the team found Mario's design disconcerting and what better way to mock your enemy during peak console wars?

1:30:00 I'm pretty sure the blackwater newspaper says the athletics team was most likely attacked by the skinner brothers, especially with the team being in tall trees. That, and Edmund left his map in thirds

For someone who used to play Wizard101 since Nov. 2011 on and off, I literally had no idea about the blue face Easter egg up until now

Manbat in Arkham Knight isn’t an Easter egg. It’s something every player encounters

About the Farcry 5 clown easter egg. There's a nother one. I randomly stumbled across it while just exploring. I found it before the clown barn. There is a pipe going beneath a road (drainage pipe? i'm not a native eng speaker so dont rightly know what it would be called) some where, dont remember where as i havent played the game for quite a long time now. But in that pipe there is a red baloon. it creeped the F out of me, as i just had watched IT.

I'm so used to prior restraint on YT videos that it actually caught me by surprise when you said 'suicide' without censorship

That MK9 jumpscare always fuckin got me

It made me laugh really hard when you called it a "Gameboy Camera Application." We just powered on the system with the cart in it. lol. This is one of those moments where I feel old, but it's still funny.

Scary easter eggs are a topic that I live so much and Iceberg images are probably the only thing i love more, so this specific video speaks me to me on a spiritual level

always love a good sourcebrew iceberg

The Kanye Quest Ascend Easter Egg isn’t about the Cult, I heard that The Dev or someone who was involved with the Game Stated that the Easter Egg Is referring to the Ascend Religion (idk what the Real Name of the Religion is), where People Believe that you dont live once but Forever by ascending when you die and getting reborn or something. Correct me if anything is wrong I saw it in a Video by Oddheader 😅

in 52:12 , it's actually not a peep hole, it's the desperate attempt of the previous owner of the room to get out of the room

Here’s some honorable mentions: •This is Hades - Final Fantasy VII When accessing FFVII’s debug menu, you’d have the chance to slip into a room the developers didn’t want you to enter. It’s a pitch black void with multiple models of the game’s NPCs randomly there, and you kept seeing Aerith(and her birth mother Ilfana) everywhere. The only line of dialogue from one of these Aeriths was the title of this creepy easter egg: “This is Hades!” •Mission Start theme - Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Every time you start a mission, and prepare, there’s unnerving music and faint whispering heard. The track still gives me unease to this day, but what makes it a part of the HM, is that the track includes lyrics from Divine Hate and Devils Never Cry performed by Shootie HG/Shawn McPherson completely reversed. It almost felt like actual ‘subliminal messages’. I’m still distraught the Mission Start theme wasn’t on TV Tropes’ Nightmare Fuel page for DMC3, but reversing the vocals make this track creepier.

Well merry Christmas eve to you too source! Thank you for the gift for everyone to enjoy

34:57 the scariest part of it is that if you look closely they are all corpses of the main character Elizabeth from parallel universes.

Man this brought me back to watching those types of videos all the time, love it. Funnily enough, watched it while playing RDR2, so the fact it appeared so much in that video was fitting. And the fact that both of my fav game series (No More Heroes and Yakuza) were in there is a nice surprise :D Noww, Harvest Moon/Story Of Seasons was my first videogame ever and still to this day I love the games a lot. And I'm always very fascinated with all the weirdly out of place dark/mysterious stuff that can happen. Even things as "simple" as the animal death music in some games being the most chilling thing you'll ever hear :'D But there's a specific thing that came to mind because I recently played the Friends Of Mineral Town remake. There is a character in the game, the towns priest Carter, and he will sometimes tell you what he calls a parable. He actually starts it of like that: "Ah. perfect timing. Might you stay long enough to listen to a parable of mine? l'll warn you--it may get a little long." And after the first one I thought okay seems to be like he's just talking about fairytales and then the moral to come out of it. When you build up your friendship with him, he will tell other stories. But then one hit that was a little bit darker, still nothing too "intense" for this game, but still: "Once upon a time, in a land not unlike our own, there was a normal family, the kind one would find anywhere. A father, mother, and their juvenile son all lived together in blissful harmony. One day, the mother succumbed to a virulent illness and suddenly passed away. As the grief-stricken father stood over his late wife, the little boy came up to him, and asked, "What happened to Mom?" The boy curiously peered at his dearly departed mother's unblinking face. The father, unsure what to say, desperately explained that she had fallen into a deep sleep. Upon hearing that, the boy was greatly troubled. He told his father: "Then please, Dad, use all of my allowance and buy a big alarm clock to wake her up." What do you think of that? That was when the father learned that the diluted words adults use to avoid speaking of death... ...hold neither power over nor meaning to children. Think on that. I bid you a blessed day." And honestly, this was unexpectedly deep for a game that's meant for everyone to play, meaning children too... But then, the topic of death sometimes comes up in the game, from animals or characters even dying. NOWWW the last one is one that just left me staring at the screen because it was so unexpected 💀💀 "This is a true story that takes place before I became a priest. Once, I was penniless and lived out my days days in a small apartment. From my apartment window, when the curtains were drawn, I could see into the building right across from mine.The room I could see was just as gloomy as mine. Eventually, I learned that a married couple lived there.The wife would leave for work each day while the husband remained behind. I assumed he was some sort of artist. At least, that's what I thought at first, until I noticed something odd. Whenever I looked into their living space, he was always squatting in the exact same position. From then on. I found myself paying much more attention to that room across the way. The husband remained in the exact same place and posture from when the curtains opened to when they closed at night. But he was not motionless, I could see him talking and moving his head. One day, a small fire broke out in that apartment. My gaze hovered over their open window. And what did I find but the husband squatting in his usual place, a troubled expression etched upon his face. I knew the wife had left for the day, so I scrambled over to help the husband. By the time I arrived, the room was filled with smoke but I could see him turning toward me. Running to his side, I laid my hands upon him, ready to forcibly drag him out--but despite his weedy appearance surely he would be as light as paper, I told myself--his body was stone-heavy. That was when my eyes traveled downward and saw four hands jutting from the floor, holding him in place. "Aaaaaagh!" Phew-Even now, remembering the horror I felt in that moment still gives me goosebumps." And that's it. The conversation just ends, no "What do you think of that" or moral of the story at the end, just that?? I was kinda flabbergasted, it's just so out of nowhere and makes you think Bro you good? 😭

Love your vids, been watching for a long time and its interesting to see your improvement

Dude I wanted Psychonauts to be mentioned so bad hell yeah!! In other news, I don't think I would call it "an otherwise kid friendly game" though, still a scary Easter Egg but not entirely out of place. Just look at the final boss, or the whole final level actually. Edit: Oh god I still have to fast forward that Scooby Doo thing, it'll never not scare me I don't think. There's no recovering...

Yeah, anyone calling Psychonauts a kids game showcases anyone who hasn't actually played the game. It's absolutely an adult oriented game with a "kid-friendly" art style and basic concept.

Just the type of video i was looking for, thank you source brew

Lets goo thank you source brew for uploading i hope you have a good christmas

Surprised to see The Sims there. Every mainline game is there! I'll explain more on the entries here. 4:13 Also in City Living, sims can be invited to attend performances. This one takes the easter egg further, as one message that can pop up after that was that the performance the sim went to see was The Murder of 1313 21 Chic Street and it is described as terrifying and is a true story. When buying it furnished, it has a rug over the outline to cover it. Though in the recent times, the chalk outline will go above the rug. You had one job, rug! Also, to continue, the apartment isn't haunted... by default. You can make it haunted through Lot Challenges though. Other than that, it's just a decoration. 5:44 The burglar music shouldn't play when a prank call happens. I have viewed a lot of videos to confirm the fact when another video stated the same thing. So no, it's just a creepy message without music and sim sounding confused afterwards. Though some of the prank calls has also been brought into The Sims 4 too. 11:40 Yeah... After all, The Sims 2 Apartment Life (the pack it is from) also introduces witches. Though fortunately, witches won't harm young sims there. 29:22 Krakens only swim by houseboats and smaller boats, so sims shouldn't attract them. However, it needs to be mentioned that krakens can actually attack small boats, destroying it (sims on the boat will be fine). It is rare indeed, with the chance increasing when it has swum by, it's raining heavily, or the sim is near a hidden island. Though sims with a specific reward ability can actually summon it to attack boats and will never be attacked themselves. Though I wouldn't call it an easter egg due to it being on trailers (plus meteors are rarer, come with jumpscarish music, and can kill sims), I guess it is somewhat worthy to be on the iceberg.

I just love these Iceberg videos! It never gets old.

I remember when i was about 10, i would binge watch creepy videogame easter eggs. So a whole 1 hour and 30 minute video of just creepy videogame easter eggs is perfect for me

I've seen a million of these but I still get stoked when a new one pops up. Thank you 🙏

28:11 I used to leave my Xbox on idle all the time because I thought the screen looked cool. Therefore, I always used to hear that glitched voice sound but never creeped me out. It was just kind of normal. That was also where I listened to music.

Some of my favorites by far are the creepy ghost message in Rollercoaster Tycoon, Mario Galaxy's "Hell Valley Sky Trees", and the billboard in California Speed on the N64

In RDR2 I found a robot man at the top of a snowy peak in the north west area. And I found a 1-hit vampire (Nosferatu themed) in Saint Dennis after some riddles. Crazy easter eggs in that.

I love your channel and your videos! Thank you for this gift and Merry Christmas

Same, that's still one of my favorite KZread videos to this day.

Redd's "haunted" paintings are the fake ones. In game you're supposed to shine a flashlight on them before buying, to see if you're getting the real one or not. It would make sense for the paintings to be super different in dim lighting, and then similar to the original painting when there's light on them. Because you're supposed to be "scammed" by Redd and his seemingly convincing paintings.

I love how I watch so much IdkSterling that I associate the music you used in the intro with him. Lol Anyways, great video and Merry Christmas, Sourcebrew!

Your missing something about Maniac Mansion, if you give the exploded Hamster back to its owner, he gets so mad that he straight up kills that character, it cuts away to a gravestone with that kids name, and that kid is perm killed for that game. And that was in an NES game it allows a kid to be killed and see the aftermath.

You may already know this, but in Mario Kart Arcade GP, there's a photo of the Belgian School Hostage crisis.

the ghost in world 4-4 in SM 3D land, I played that game a lot on my 3DS, over and over, and this easter egg is one of the few easter eggs ive organically encountered, as in not been told about in advance, I just noticed it one day back then and thought it was cool haha, really nice to see it pop up in a video and be able to go "oh hey i remember that one!" when usually all the eggs in these videos are a surprise to me XD

I just thought i should comment on how A Hat in Time didn't get a segment, and then 1:17:42 popped up! Just wanted to say for the lighthearted nature of the game, it definitely had some moments. Especially around one of the main bosses, Snatcher. His dark backstory opens a whole box of secret easter eggs like using a certain hat (Dweller's Mask) to find marks where he was held captive and possibly died in the cellar of Vanessa's Manor

not sure if it was mentioned but in the same Nuketown map with those mannequins if you instead of shooting off their heads shoot off their arms you will get a weeping angel situation where they are chasing you only when you're not looking at them

this vibe is a little lost in modern games, rockstar always did it well. i wish more games maintained that mystique and creepy vibe with easter egss

The real creepiest Easter egg is why Skyrim screamed at me when I was playing it. Like a super loud high pitched note. Even creepier, right before the sound my headphones were pulled halfway out of the aux port and the plug on the headphones was bent. I wonder if they’re connected.
