comment
In many video games where there is more than one direction to go, it is possible to become lost, or unsure which way to go next. Almost invariably, the way to go is the way the enemies are coming from.
Relatedly, the area with dead enemies strewn around is backtracking. The opposite is when a monster breaks open a door, crashes through the floor or knocks down a wall to allow you access to the next stage, assuming you survive.

In Half-Life some areas can be very confusing, but the path forward is usually the most difficult and enemy-filled. Even the bosses exist only to block the path forward.
In Gag Dub Freeman's Mind Gordon sometimes comments that despite being lost, he usually knows where to go based on how many things he has to kill and the number of bloodstains and dead bodies he encounters.

In Clive Barker's Jericho there are a number of places where there is no obvious direction until something tries to kill you.

Both Wolfenstein 3D and Doom were like this: if a room is filled with bodies, you've already been there.

Common in Final Fantasy games too. If you get stuck, pick a direction and if the enemies are challenging, you're going in the right direction.

Dead Space is trying to reduce this through the guide lines, but you pretty much have to kill everything that gets in your way anyways.
