Line 56:
* In ''[[Psychonauts]]'', a secret room in "Milla's Dance Party" is a cage made of fire with ghostly monsters behind it, whispering menacing things about a tragedy from Milla's past. Keep in mind the ENTIRE rest of the level has a bright, disco/party theme, and this single room is the disturbing exception.
** This is the only time you'll get to take a good look at the monsters-you'll see them twice more over the course of the game, and you'll be busy fighting them both times. They're a representation of a person's nightmares. They're caged up here because Milla has iron control over them, which, considering what they actually ''are'' (dig the memory reel in the vault you find nearby and you'll see what I mean), is pretty impressive given how relevant they are to her current job.
*** The nightmares were actually originally designed to be Milla's personal demons, not as generic nightmares. [https://web.archive.org/web/20111106034011/http://www.doublefine.com/Psycho-pedia/Nightmare/ The developers moved them] to the Milkman stage because it didn't make sense story-wise for children to be attacked during a training lesson from a fully-fledged Psychonaut. Their design matches up with the tragic secret locked in her vault. Milla is constantly running this noisy party in her mind to {{spoiler|drown out the nightmare-inducing memories of her childrens' cries as they died in a fire. Seriously, ouch...}}
* The ''entire town'' of ''[[Silent Hill]]'' may be one of these. Also, the dark room full of literal bugs in the Historical Society of ''[[Silent Hill 2]]''.
* The {{spoiler|entire game}} in ''[[Twisted Metal]]: Black'' is either {{spoiler|Sweet Tooth's}} Black Bug Room or his [[Happy Place]]. He's so [[Ax Crazy]], it's hard to tell.
