Nurse (Homecoming)
Description:
They have very deformed and damaged faces, twitchy movement and an attraction to any source of light, remaining frozen until alerted. They are dressed in pink nurse uniforms, and, when radiated with the flashlight, one can see a fetus growing inside their wombs.
Method of Attack:
Nurses are rather easy enemies to overcome, and can be defeated using melee combos with the knife. Turning off the flashlight will lower the chance of being attacked by a nurse, however this also hinders the character as he/she is often plunged into complete darkness without it. Normally they travel in packs of three or more.
If the Nurse is stunned and a character is wielding his/her knife, the finishing move shows the character stabbing her twice in her breast and throwing her down to a pool of her own blood.
Symbolism:
They represent Alex's institutionalization in the hospital, and his suppressed libido. More than this, however, they seem to be a nod to the films, with borrowed elements from Silent Hill 2. In the game, there are hints that Alex believed that the nurses in the military were overly sexualized to comfort the wounded soldiers. The fetuses they carry inside could also symbolize Alex's brother's birth.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Any of the reasons similar to the plight illustrated above.
*Weapons:
• Knife
• Teeth
Area:
• Alchemilla Hospital
• Grand Hotel
• Dr. Fitch's Office
• Shepherd's Glen Town Hall
