10 Times Silent Hill Was Absolutely Terrifying

6. The Horrifying Reflections In The Mirror - Silent Hill 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkYtflr1KsM Each room in Silent Hill 3 gives you a chance to find the ammo you so desperately needed, but you also might find something so shocking that it will haunt your memories for the rest of your gaming career. Such is the case with the storage closet in Silent Hill 3, during which Heather is forced to face her phobia. For their first playthrough of Silent Hill 3, players might miss the detail that Heather suffers from catoptrophobia, a condition in which sufferers fear the reflections in mirrors. Despite this, they should still feel the the intended sense of helplessness. However, if they were to dig deeper, they might understand the layers underneath the jarring imagery. To them, the scene is strange and bizarre, but to Heather and potential sufferers of catptrophobia, they are facing an exaggerated version of their greatest fear. Silent Hill's ostensible randomness is enough to imprint itself onto the memories of gamers; however, should players choose to dig deeper then they€™ll see that the imagery wasn't just created on a whim.
