This entry stars Travis Grady, a trucker who unfortunately has the bad luck of seeing a vision of a cloaked figure on the road during the dead of night. What follows is Travis' harrowing journey into Silent Hill itself where sacrificial offerings have taken place amongst many other terrifying encounters. Like previous Silent Hill games, this one also features the notorious otherworld.
Silent Hill: Homecoming, which released in on the Xbox and Playstation 3, was received with incredibly mixed reactions due to its emphasis on action combat instead of true survival horror gameplay elements.
This entry in the series stars Alex Shepherd, a supposed returning war veteran who finds himself strapped to a gurney in a derelict hospital. The only thing he knows is that he needs to return home to Shepherd's Glen to check on his ailing mother. What follows is a true descent into madness with some genuinely scary moments despite the combat-focused gameplay changes. This entry in the series took quite a different approach to gameplay with some sections where you must answer psychological questions which shape the game and its outcome.
Many fans of the series were skeptical of Shattered Memories because many of its gameplay sections were comprised of running away from monsters through pre-determined corridors. Fortunately, this innovation was well-received along with the dark story centering around Harry Mason. Silent Hill: Downpour released in for the Xbox and Playstation 3 and is sadly the last mainline entry in the series. Unfortunately, Downpour wasn't incredibly well-received, mostly down to a combat-heavy gameplay experience and a generally unlikeable protagonist, Murphy Pendleton.
Toyama will serve as the game's creative director, while Akira Yamaoka will be doing the music. Wow that was upsetting! By Rebekah Valentine Updated: 10 Dec am. Slitterhead Trailer Gallery. Was this article informative? The first Silent Hill was about a man searching for his missing daughter, one who encounters a pseudo-Satanic cult along the way. The former is undoubtedly fun, but the latter is not played for laughs at any point. In cinematic terms, it's comparable to zombie B-movies versus more thoughtful titles like Hereditary or The Witch.
This different theming also affects gameplay. In Resident Evil , players are often trained law enforcement officers, adept at firing guns and fending off attackers. In Silent Hill , players controlled Harry Mason, an everyman who was recently involved in a car accident. Before Harry can ask any questions, Dahlia leaves, and Harry exits the church.
He crosses a bridge that leads to Central Silent Hill. Harry arrives at Alchemilla Hospital , where he encounters Michael Kaufmann , a doctor who is as bewildered as Harry about the current circumstances. Shortly after this meeting, Harry may obtain a red liquid known as Aglaophotis , whose great purpose is later revealed, by using a bottle.
Harry endures another shift to the Otherworld, transforming the medical facility into the world's twisted version of the hospital, infested with monstrous nurses. Along the way, he also meets Lisa Garland , a terrified nurse. Though she knows much about the town and its history, he is unable to get answers before he is transported back to the Fog World, where Dahlia reappears and tells him that the "Mark of Samael" , a strange symbol he has seen in various locations, must not be completed, lest "the darkness" devour the whole town.
Meeting up with Cybil, who has seen a girl out on the lake , the pair find a hidden altar in an antique store , but Harry disappears out of sight of Cybil, much to her confusion.
Harry, meanwhile, finds himself back in the hospital with Lisa, who gives him directions to the lake, but also tells Harry she feels she's "not supposed to leave". On the way to the lake, Harry passes through some sewers and enters the Resort Area. The player may determine Kaufmann's fate and the game's ending by choosing to assist him in Annie's Bar and doing a sidequest.
Canon-wise, Harry saves Kaufmann and fulfills the sidequest. Kaufmann is thankful, but his business presses him onward. Harry finds a motorcycle stash of a mysterious red vial in a gas tank, and Kaufmann reappears and angrily snatches it away. Soon after, the Otherworld nightmare begins to take over the town entirely.
Regrouping with Cybil and deciding to stop the mark's completion at Dahlia's desperate request, Harry heads to the lighthouse , while Cybil's goal is reaching Lakeside Amusement Park.
As an unknown assailant attacks Cybil, Harry once more sees Alessa and the "Mark of Samael" at the top of the lighthouse before heading to the amusement park himself. On the amusement park's carousel , Cybil appears, possessed by a parasite. The player may choose to save or kill Cybil, once again affecting the game's ending; if Harry wishes to save Cybil, he must use the red liquid he obtained at the hospital on her thus achieving one of the "plus" endings.
However, Cybil is killed by Harry in the regular Good and Bad endings. With Alessa appearing once more, Harry unwittingly uses the Flauros to trap her. Dahlia appears, revealing that she manipulated him into confining her, as he was the only one who would be able to get close to her, and that Alessa is in fact her daughter. With Alessa's powers out of control, Harry awakens to find himself back in the distorted world resembling the hospital, known merely as Nowhere.
He finds Lisa, and she bleeds from every orifice in front of a horrified Harry, who flees when she approaches him, though he is clearly sympathetic. Lisa's diary , left in the room, explains that she was the nurse who attended to Alessa in return for a drug she was addicted to, PTV , which Kaufmann supplied. In Nowhere, Harry witnesses a flashback of a meeting between Dahlia, Kaufmann, and two cult doctors discussing Alessa's hospitalization and the rebirth of God. Harry soon finds Dahlia and possibly Cybil if he saved her previously Cybil's survival may or may not be canonical , as well as a figure in a wheelchair wrapped in bandages: Cheryl and Alessa recombined, with Alessa's astral projection sitting nearby.
Both the flashback and Dahlia's words explain that Dahlia sacrificed her daughter to fire seven years ago in an attempt to nurture and bring about the birth of the god worshiped by a fanatical cult, the Order, of which Dahlia is a priestess, and that the god now resides within Alessa's womb.
In doing so, Alessa split her soul in half to prevent God from being born. The other half of the soul manifested itself as Cheryl, whom Harry and his wife found as a baby on the road outside of Silent Hill and subsequently adopted. In the present, Alessa called Cheryl back to Silent Hill so that her full power would be restored. Alessa would then inscribe several Seals of Metatron around the town and purge Silent Hill of reality, killing herself to prevent God's birth.
Alessa manifested herself as an astral projection in the town to place the marks Harry has seen in an attempt to keep the god at bay.
