10 Terrifying Video Game Enemies You Couldn't See
5. The Prisoners - Silent Hill 2
No survival horror games nail the concept of elusive, otherworldly foes quite like the Silent Hill series. These titles ramp up the psychological thrills and chills to an absurd degree, with spooks and threats like the iconic Pyramid Head that are often figments of the protagonist’s tortured imagination.
In Silent Hill 2’s Toluca Prison, the unfortunate James Sunderland will encounter not one but two mysterious prisoners.
They’re completely invisible and will not directly attack James, and so aren’t really enemies in the traditional sense. As an mysterious presence, though, these two creatures are all the more frightening for their ethereal nature.
What are they? Who were they? Why were they confined to this ghastly jail?
Silent Hill 2 is in no hurry to answer these questions, making the prisoners one of the most unsettling presences in the series (which is really saying something).
