Line 13: == All the games except ''Silent Hill 2'' happened in Cheryl's head == It's almost implied in the UFO ending since James appeared in it. Also, it's one of the only games that truly stood alone without interfering with the idea of ''Silent Hill'' being all a part of her delusions. == ''Shattered Memories'' explains everything == All the main characters where patients of Dr. Kaufman, and is hinted as much....in the UFO ending. However tongue in check it maybe, it keeps everything canon...and somewhat based in reality. * So, Silent Hill 1 and 3 are him working with Cheryl (note that he writes about a follow-up visit over the end credits), Silent Hill 2 deals with sexually repressed and murderer in denial James (which is why he "hasn't seen his wife lately"), Silent Hill 4 is coaxing out the secluded and eternally shy Henry (or maybe working with Sullivan?), Origins is with Travis (but what would he be seeing a psychiatrist for?), and Homecoming has Alex and his soldiering delusions and serious parental esteem issues. ** Re: Alex: He could even be under treatment for PTSD, and the games progression is the doctor stupidly (or accidentally) but successfully convincing him that he {{spoiler\|wasn't a soldier}}. Re: Travis: Maybe he ran for days on end at a time with literally hours of sleep over several days, to the point that he started hallucinating and generating straight-up false memories, and the game is him recounting to Dr. Kaufman why he abandoned his route to wander around [[Silent Hill (~~Film~~film)\|an old, empty mining town]] while overlaying a dream about a semi-successful resort town near his home over his experience? Line 51: == Shattered Memories is Harry Mason's entry into the afterlife == After he's killed in ~~[[SH 3]]~~SH3, he finds himself in the Astral Plane, where Silent Hill's Otherworld/Foggedworld have always existed, even before they spread out into reality after the events of ~~[[SH 1]]~~SH1. The reason he thinks he's a resident now is because his memories have been Jacob's Laddered, and he must fight to free himself of the town's taint once and for all before he can move on. The title is a reference to his shattered memories of the town shaping the Astral Plane around him. Line 69: == In ''Shattered Memories'', The situations are based off of what {{spoiler\|Cheryl}} would like to happen... to an extent. == For example: true to the firstgame, {{spoiler\|Lisa}} dies in a rather horrific manner. As the player sees in the "Sleaze and Sirens" ending of ''Shattered Memories"'', {{spoiler\|Harry had an affair with her and Michelle. While Cheryl couldn't bring herself to kill Michelle, a girl who went to her school around the same time, she ''could'' find it in her to fantasize about punishing Lisa for her affair with her father.}} Another example would be everyone subtly or not so subtly warning Harry to turn back near the end of the game symbolizing {{spoiler\|Cheryl's desire to turn back the clock and stop Harry's death, as after that point, she's forced to face the fact that he's died, even if she chooses to ignore it afterward.}} * While this theory mostly works, it fails to take into account that {{spoiler\|Michelle is not Cheryl's classmate; she was Prom Queen and sleeping with Harry when Cheryl was seven years old. That story about Michelle and Cheryl going to school together is a complete lie.}} Line 107: The psych segments are in first person, not to hide Cheryl's identity, but because Kaufmann is talking directly to the player. Harry isn't Cheryl's idealized memories of her father, but the player's idealized memories of Silent Hill 1. At the end, Kaufmann tells Cheryl that although her father is dead, there are still people who love her. Or in other words, he tells the player that although Team Silent isn't working on the series anymore, there are still games being made and could you give them a chance. Whether Cheryl/the player does is up to them. {{worksubpagefooter}} ~~{{reflist}}~~ [[Category:Silent Hill/WMG]] ~~[[Category:Silent Hill: Shattered Memories]]~~ ~~[[Category:WMG]]~~ __NOTOC__
