These games showed me that horror game plots don't have to be shallow narratives that only serve to justify gameplay. And video game stories in general no longer had any excuse for being sub par after this came out.

I absolutely enjoyed this video about our beloved game silent hill 1 im a member on the gamingmuse channel im a big fan of the silent hill universe and have been playing the series since it first came out in 1999. I was only 11 wen I first played silent hill 1 and it was a game that changed my life forever for the better. You have done a fantastic job here. Your voice sounded very relaxing and made it sound and feel like you were Harry talking to us all about the journey into the haunted town. Cheers and thankyou so much xo

what song plays at the very beginning?

Well done sir. There are many retrospectives, many opinions, and many long form videos that just repeat the story without delving into the emotions and feeling of Silent Hill. It’s refreshing to listen well researched and heartfelt analysis of this amazing game.

RIP Cybill

That repetitive music is distracting. It drowns out the narration.

Oh a Silent Hill analysis! don't mind if I do! I feel like most discourse about the fog world and the nightmare world is just splitting hairs. Reality was altered, and ultimately how permanent the effects of Alessa's powers were on it is completely discretional. Whether we call it a localized alternate reality, reality being out of phase or superimposed by the nightmare, it's really just semantics at the end. I really like how you presented Alessa's defiance towards her circumstances, always fighting back and not giving up. It just aligns so well with the characterization her "reborn self" is given on 3.

Full love . Nothing more than full love for the game. This was beautiful. And i thank you for this video. The was beyond anything else made on this game. If only people making movies and games with the silent hill title, would give half the love to their projects, you gave this video.

I love this series and I'm delighted the algorithm recommended your video. Fully enjoyed this whole thing, and I'm subscribing and look forward to more! Excellent work on your analysis.

I finished Silent Hill 2 Remake 2024 . I absolutely loved the game and I am devouring lore videos after finishing it. SPOILER I didn't know Mary's body was in James car at the beginning the whole time! I got the "leave" ending after 30 hours of gameplay. I am craving more Silent Hill already but to my dismay there aren't any games ready to be binged. The only one I could find on PC is Slent Hill 4. I'm gonna have to get an emulator for the older ones. I expected there to be more Silent Hill playability for such a household name. Currently watching "the midnight snow"'s youtube series about Silent Hill. If bloober had any common sense they'd be remaking Silent Hill 1 and 3 right now instead of making their own stinkers.

back to beg for more of these analysis videos please

I assume Alessa started the fire as part of stopping the ritual and splitting her soul. She was more than willing to suffer to stop the cult. Great video 👍

But where did Eddie get that pizza?

102 Silent Hill Redditors disliked this video. This was such an AMAZING experience. Congratulations, hope you'll make more videos like this in the future!

"Do you know a girl called Alessa?" "..." "..." "No..." Slowly turns to the camera, winks at it and exits the room whistling.

I hope you continue with this kind of breakdown of each game. And maybe even the movies

Sound like a broken record but goddamn! Yet another small channel delivering a banger, a Silent Hill video no less! Keep up the fantastic work mate!

Excellent video; looking forward to hearing your breakdowns on the rest of the series , or however far you decide to go with it; I've always had a special love for the original Silent Hill, I watched my Uncle and his friend play through it when I was ten when it came out, and than played it myself a couple years later. It's amazing the details my mind filled in on those old PS1 graphics.

I think the sirens represent the last thing Alessa heard before she descended into hell. The sirens of the firetrucks that is. When you hear them, it’s the last thing you hear before you get sent to Alessa’s hell. Didn’t really think about it until I watched the video… Great vid btw!

This was such a good video omg, I’ll be following you on twitch and on here from now on keep up the amazing content man!!

Hey Glitchy, Etzio here! Glad to see your video getting blessed by the algorithm. Can't wait for part 2!

This makes me identify with Alessa so much more. As someone who was raised by an abusive mother and saved by my wonderful father, really brings me some closire tbh. As someone who's loved this series after discovering it through SH4, i love listening to these videos that go so much deeper into the story.

Side note: it's not a 'toxic worm' it's the larva form of the moth boss.

Sh1 the town was corrupted because of alessa as she is a witch and so bringing her darkness into reality because of her powers.the town itself never had that power to do these things on its own untill silent hill 2 where the town just acted on its own which was odd.makes me wonder if the the town is secretly being corrupted by a new witch that we have yet to seen to explain why the town still has mysticals phenomenons with other protagonist

It's hard finding content as good as this, can't wait for the videos on the other games ^^

I know it's probably been said thousands of times now but this game was like a kind of cosmic accident but just so happened to create one of the most amazing franchises in all of gaming, and maybe even all of media. I've watched a documentary on the making and all of the things that just went wrong but in the best way really built this game in a way that I don't think could happen today

Holy hell, or would have never known you were a new youtuber. This video is doo well written and edited. Well be watching your career with great interest

This is a fantastic video essay! I recently finished playing SH3 and I unfortunately didn't realize that the story was practically a direct continuation of SH1 (Went into the game a little /too/ blind lol) so I'm a little bummed that I missed out on a world of context. I'm less incentivized to go back to play SH1, but your analysis and attention to detail was great, it honestly pieced together a lot of questions I had about the lore of Silent Hill as a whole. Subscribed and very much looking forward to your future media analysis content :)

25:30 I see what you did there 😂

23:50 Marking my time as suggested, and also happy to add the engagement to the video.

1:40:34 I may have an explanation. In the show Courage the Cowardly Dog, the setting is a single house in a barren wasteland. A theory for why this is may be is because Courages owners were too old to walk him, so he was never able to explore beyond his front yard. Courage couldn't comprehend reality past his own surroundings. To link this with Silent Hill, perhaps Alessa never left Silent Hill before the fire. She wouldn't have any comprehension beyond what she had seen in her town and being in an abusive household with a mother who wants wants her all to herself, alessa probably never had the opportunity to venture beyond her means. A perfect prison.
