Doom Eternal's hub area, being the most recent example, suffers an unexpected attack at one point during the story. Illusions manifest themselves as psychological torments in Death Stranding's private rooms. Unsafe rooms, as I like to call them, have slowly emerged throughout the years. The news turned out to be untrue, thankfully, but other video games are not so reserved. We all broke a sweat after hearing the news Nemesis was now able to break into safe rooms in the Resident Evil 3 remake. But some developers have subverted this expectation, finding a new way to expose horror in previously guarded spaces. Although the purpose of each safe room may differ, the expectation from players is the safe room is, in fact, safe. Iterations on this idea can be seen in other genres as well, present in the likes of Dark Souls' bonfires, Darkest Dungeon's camps, and many others. They are great motivators to continue venturing further in Resident Evil games despite the unforeseen horrors waiting on the other side of the door. Survival horror has treated them as a tradition over the years, offering players a shelter to save their progress, resupply, and regain their breath. Safe rooms have long been present in video games. Looking back, Usuda considers this a "contrasting expression". It's only halfway into the story that things change. But at least the room is presented as your sanctuary. Room 302 is terryfying from the off because it doesn't let you unlock the door from the inside. Since then, rooms have always been at the core." "Three teams came up with a plan, and the concept of a room was chosen because it was the scariest of them. "The concept of Silent Hill 4 was clear from the early stages of development - the fear of eroding the safest places," director Murakoshi tells me.

Over time, however, this initial promise of safety is broken by a series of increasingly dangerous hauntings, turning your home into an unfamiliar and hostile space. It's the only save point in the game, naturally turning it into a safe room.

Some of the pictures are even cuttings of bigger paintings, like the picture of the dog in the daughter's room which belongs, actually, to a portrait of a man. Many of the pictures are from known artists like Francisco Goya (»Saturn Devouring His Son«) or Rembrandt (»The Abduction of Ganymede«).
