For a game that is all about showing off cool tech in a gritty future, there is plenty of tragedy in Cyberpunk 2077 too. One of the biggest moments was spoiled in the E3 2019 trailer, but that won’t be repeated here in case anyone missed it. The point is Cyberpunk 2077 is as much about loss as it is about having fun in an open-world city.
Then there are some missions that perhaps get too dark. These missions may keep players up at night. Some, more than others. There will be spoilers for large chunks of the game in here, so buckle up for a haunting ride.
10 Pyramid Song
This is both a sweet and messed up mission in the game. It’s the one taken to finalize V’s relationship with Judy if V is a girl. Why it’s sweet is because Judy takes V on a date underwater to explore. What is messed up is the fact down below is her hometown that was flooded by Corpos. Plus it’s extremely dark down there and unsettling all the same.
9 Epistrophy: North Oak
The Epistrophy missions involve gathering Delamain taxi cabs that have gone haywire. They are all messed up in one way or another but the strangest one can be found in North Oak as it is circling a roundabout endlessly.
It allows V to get inside to drive it home but only if V is gentle. The car doesn’t want to get damaged or go too fast. It’s a slow, sad, and creepy ride home.
8 Send In The Clowns
Ozob Bozo is homage to a character made for a tabletop version of Cyberpunk. As the name might suggest it too is homage to Bozo the Clown as Ozob also has clown-like features. Anyway, all players have to do in this mission is drive him to get some food which ends up in a shootout. It’s pretty standard for this game. The disturbing thing comes with his face as there is a grenade lodged where his nose should be. This comes back in a later mission which might end in an explosion.
7 Sacrum Profanum
This is an early mission in the game involving running into a Monk that was kidnapped, tortured, and had a lot of his body replaced. His religion forbids his kind to get any kind of mechanical enhancement so basically these gang members not only did a poor job at surgery, but they made him a blasphemer. Players can at least find solace in saving his brother before it is too late. Playing this one without killing anyone has a special reward by the way.
6 Burning Desire
This mission is kind of funny while being disturbing at the same time. Players have to help a man screaming with his pants down as he had a bad experience with a private enhancement. “It burns” is something he continuously screams in the game as V tries to and rush him to the clinic. He even almost has V run down a gaggle of school children just to get fixed.
5 Violence
To get it out of the way, yes, Lizzy Wizzy is a really silly name. She hires V to look into her boyfriend/manager, Liam, as she thinks he is cheating. It turns out it is much worse in that he is trying to create clone constructs of her similar to Johnny’s situation behind her back. Explaining this to her later results in Lizzy killing Liam by “accident” and V disposing of the body in a literal pile of trash.
4 Chippin’ In
Before the last mission in the game, Johnny asks V if he can take control of the body in order to settle some scores. If players trust him the end result will be worth it. The thing is, Johnny does this in a roundabout way, meaning he parties way too hard in his/her body. He basically takes advantage of the situation to drink and canoodle without any sense of safety for V.
3 Dream On
Jefferson and Elizabeth Peralez first hire V to look into the murder of the mayor. After this, no matter the result, V will be hired again to look into a burglary.
It turns out their security company was secretly living in their apartment, watching them from behind a secret room. Worst of all they were literally brainwashing them which turns Jefferson into a paranoid schizophrenic by the end depending in some choices made.
2 The Hunt
The mayor investigation also partners V up with Detective River. After that mission in the game players can go on The Hunt which has both characters looking for River’s brother, Randy. Long story short he was manipulated by a man dubbed Peter Pan who was kidnapping young and old men and hooking them up to steroid feeds used for cows. It’s a mystery straight out of True Detective and just as messed up.
1 They Won’t Go When I Go
The most haunting mission of all involves a convict named Joshua. He was in jail for killing a lot of people but he found God in his cell and wants to amend for his crimes. He wants to preach the word of God by recording a re-enactment of Jesus getting nailed to the cross. Players even have the option of literally nailing him down while reciting scripture. And yes, this is sold for profit as a BD. It is a weird thing to put in the game with an unclear message behind its creation.
