10 Video Game Rooms You Should NEVER Enter
7. Silent Hill 3 – Mirror Room
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.
