Seems that there's a theme to most of the entries on this list - usually it's a button you can't resist pressing, a room you can't resist entering, or an item you can't resist taking/interacting with. The entry for Silent Hill 4: The Room is no different.

"I got this from Miss Galvin a long, long time ago... She was younger than me back then... She looked so happy holding her mother's hand... Here, I'll give it to you", sighs Walter Sullivan, a clearly tired homeless man. Sitting on a dilapidated metal staircase coated in rust and full of melancholy, he hands the player, Henry, a shabby doll - one of his sole possessions.

Disoriented by the fact that, as the player, you've just been sucked through a hole in your apartment wall and are now being assailed by floating murder ghosts, the act of kindness is a rarity.

However, take the doll back home to your apartment, and before long your living room will be haunted by numerous hideous baby faces piercing through the wallpaper, surrounding the doll and... well just doing nothing positive for the décor.

Unfortunately as Henry can't just put up a Pink Floyd poster over the top of them, he has to either exorcise the demons, or sit and regret why he felt it was a good idea to take sodden toys off a hobo in a hell dimension.
