Silent Hill is the first installment in the Silent Hill series of psychological survival horror video games. Unlike earlier survival horror games that focused on protagonists with combat training, the main character Harry Mason is an average man. The gameplay consists of combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. The controller vibration is used to indicate Harry's heartbeat and will vibrate on low health. The player must regularly enter an inventory screen to check Harry's health, use items, and equip different weapons.
harry holding a pipe like he's never held a pipe before is the whole appeal. you can tell he's scared. the fog is doing budget-saving work and somehow that makes it worse than any modern horror game with proper draw distance. school section had me pausing the game to do dishes between rooms first time i replayed it as an adult i forgot how unhelpful the map is. love that actually. you scribble on it and then you're still lost
