Silent Hill: The Short Message school corridor

This guide explains what to do in the school corridor in Silent Hill: The Short Message.

Silent Hill: The Short Message, the first entry in the series since 2014’s P.T., debuted on 31 January after a surprise announcement at the PlayStation State of Play.

The game, which is free-to-play on PS5, is a short Silent Hill title that follows a girl, Anita, as she searches for her missing friend, Maya.

Transported inside an apartment complex known as the Villa, Anita finds herself trapped inside a repeating loop of corridors and rooms while being chased by a malevolent cherry blossom monster.

The Short Message takes place over three chapters, each being a loop of the Villa. During one of the loops, Anita is transported to her high school.

In one particular sequence during this loop, Anita enters a corridor that is populated by shadows of her classmates. When she tries to progress down the corridor, she can’t get any further as she is blocked by the otherworldly figures.

So, let’s take a look at what to do in the school corridor in Silent Hill: The Short Message.
