For some time, there were rumors that Konami would hand over the Silent Hill franchise to third-party developers. Polish studio Bloober Team was named as one of the potential recipients.
Bloober Team is known for various horror games, such as The Medium, Layers of Fear, and Observer. Now the studio is also known as the developer of the Silent Hill 2 remake.
Users noticed that watching the mirror scene did not evoke the same emotions as before. A closer look revealed that an important detail had been missed.
The thing is, in the original Silent Hill 2, the protagonist looked at “himself” in the mirror in one of the scenes. Fans increased the brightness and discovered that the gaze of the “reflection” was directed at the player. This detail is not obvious due to the play of shadows, but watching the scene allowed some players to feel a certain discomfort.
In the case of the remake, fans experienced no such feelings.
