10 Video Game Rooms You Should NEVER Enter

7. Silent Hill 3 – Mirror Room

Silent Hills Pt
Konami

Like most of Konami’s franchises, Silent Hill remains widely neglected by the once-prominent publisher. Missing in action since 2014’s release of P.T., its use of atmospheric elements and psychological horror was widely praised.

Each title is filled with scares but a more prominent incident occured within Silent Hill 3. Unlike SH2, 3 served as a direct sequel to the original game and focused on Heather Mason, finding herself in conflict with Silent Hill’s cult.

As the story progresses, Heather finds herself in Brookhaven Hospital but upon entering a storage room, she’s forced to confront her fears of mirrors. This is foreshadowed early on, as upon examining the mall bathroom’s mirror, she states that “It's almost like there's an unknown world right on the other side. And the person staring at me isn't really me, just an imitator”.

That fear quickly becomes nightmare as the mirror starts seeping blood, making its way across the floor and will kill Heather if she doesn’t escape. To make matters worse, her reflection stops moving in this moment and becomes similarly bloodied.

It’s a disturbing scene, one that vindicates her phobia and you’ll never leave a room faster in your life.
