Slipping beyond the bounds of what we’re “supposed” to see is one of gaming’s secret thrills, and UncomfortableNPC on Reddit just busted out of a Rocket League playfield to see what our dark robo-car future will truly be like.

Rocket League was one of last year’s biggest surprise hits, and a strong contender in GameWatcher’s own Game of the Year awards.
