I thought the same thing when I saw gameplay footage of it. There was one part where the main character was walking along a hallway with ice walls on both sides of him. Suddenly, he hears something and looks to his right to see a monster crawling along the ice on the other side of it and then disappears.

By far, one of the creepiest and scariest moments in gaming is when you see Pyramid Head for the first time, staring at you. You come into a hallway and all of a sudden, you see this monstrosity just staring at you with 3 metal bars separating you two. You know something's there and you know it'll smurf you up, but you just don't know when. This heightens the dread and suspense, and I think with the ice walls, we'll have some of that going on in Shattered Memories.
