Welcome to the first article about the most creepy and disturbing moments that can be found in video games. This series of short articles will focus on describing scenes or situations that are not only scary, but creepy, shocking and disturbing. With classics like Silent Hill or Resident Evil, there are plenty of unsettling cutscenes in survival horror games that now are iconic. However, there are also many obscure and disturbing moments in video games history which are not so well known by the general audience. Between the many possibilities, I decided to start with a really unexpected and disturbing scene from Forbidden Siren 2.
Forbidden Siren (or simply Siren in Japan) is a horror saga created by almost all the developers of the first Silent Hill. The game connects the lives of many characters together in a mysterious island, with its own obscure mythology and traditions. Of course there is something wrong and rotten in the deepness of the island, something that will mix good and evil in twisted surprises. The horror scenes are uniquely effective, due to the use of a novel technology to paint the expressions of real actors on the characters.
Between the many creepy enemies, unexpected twists and surprises, there is one specific disturbing scene which for sure will stay sculpted in the mind of the player: the first revelation of the Mother. Yuri Kishida is a very mysterious character since the beginning, someone that is of course hiding something wrong and obscure. But the reveal is more shocking than expected. After descending in a mysterious hellish portal inside an amusement park, she would like to thank another character by showing “her true self”.
She will slowly start to unbutton here shirt, while seductively saying “please look at me”. There is an intense atmosphere of erotism that will surprise the player. The fact that the character Yuri Kishida is portrayed by the beautiful Japanese Actress Mai Takahashi is also definitively not helping to cool down the situation. But everything will quickly fall down into a nightmare when, below her clothes, her naked skin shows no trace of any female anatomy. If this could be surprisingly disturbing by itself, the subsequent appearance of a huge smiling face on her naked body would be simply too much to handle.
This disturbing moment, breaking the promise of an unexpected erotic scene in a dark and grim game, is surely an unforgettable nightmare for any player of Forbidden Siren 2. I will not provide details or an explanation of what is happening here, so people interested could explore and enjoy the complex plot of Forbidden Siren 2.
