A very common subtrope of Foreboding Architecture, in which a Boss Room or other especially challenging room is preceded by a perfectly straight empty corridor. This dead space serves as a pacing device to build anticipation for the upcoming challenge, and to physically separate it from the stage proper. It may also double as a checkpoint, Save Point or provide free Healing Potions.
