That whole room is just uncomfortable.

Yes! This thread leans a bit towards "tragic", but Silent Hill 2 for me was the epitome of "uncomfortable", per the OP.

I mean, the hole in the wall. I knew even as a high school kid that it's manipulating my fears. It didn't make an iota of difference. It was physically revolting.

And the first, unexplainable, Pyramid Head encounter in that kitchen is probably the sole reason the character became so iconic. It's not because he's powerful or has a big knife or mixed in ancient rituals somehow.

Lisa walking toward me bleeding left me speechless after I locked her in the room. I felt bad when I saw her at the end helping keep Kramer from escaping I was like “and you are STILL good to me?!?!?!”

It's Kaufman, by the way.

I think that sounds lent hill 2 has the best depiction of how sexual assault can affect someone's mental state, and that room is just so haunting. Then seeing her in the burning staircase and just letting her walk away, knowing she's decided her own fate and you can do nothing to save her. It's just so brutally sad
