{{quote|''When I woke up, it was like this. Everyone seems to have disappeared. And it's snowing out, this time of year. Something's gone seriously wrong. Did you see those monsters? Have you ever seen such aberrations? Ever even heard of such things? You and I both know creatures like that don't exist.''|Doctor Michael Kaufmann}}

 

 

Single father Harry Mason is taking his daughter Cheryl on a holiday to the resort town of Silent Hill. Disaster strikes as Harry swerves to avoid a girl standing in the road and [[Fright Deathtrap|crashes his car]].

It is hard to spoil the plot of ''Silent Hill'' because very little is explicitly stated. The story revolves around one man's personal struggle to find his daughter, his role as a pawn in a cosmic battle between two powerful entities over the power of a god, arcane rituals of an occult variety, reincarnation, possession, drug addiction, and alternative realities. The player [[Unreliable Narrator|receives few explanations for anything that happens]], and the game often glosses over or completely ignores key events while presenting the player with intense imagery and deeply psychological horror.

 

 

Konami released a remake/reimagining of this game (''[[Silent Hill: Shattered Memories]]'') in 2009.

* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: Note the awesome "Study, Dammit!" poster in Store 8. It depicts a hippie [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|pointing a gun]] at the viewer.
