- This is a Silent hill 3 analysis.
Silent Hill 3 is a 2003 survival horror game developed by Team Silent, a group in Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and published by Konami. The game was released from May to August, originally for the PlayStation 2. The third installment in the Silent Hill series and a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill game, it follows Heather, a teenager who becomes entangled in the machinations of the town's cult, which seeks to revive a malevolent deity.

Grew up in Japan and played Japanese version. The hard puzzles were in every magazine at the time due to people being mad at it.
yokai scare you more if you know what it is, too.
I know some people in the west miss the innuendos
(theme of childbirth gone horribly wrong and birthing demon baby that lives crawling under your house;
borrowing like the original worm/moth in sh1. This makes a sudden reappearance in sh3, maybe the moth had babys, which is like saying there might be hundreds of larve yokai worm demons from that one moth harry didn't completely kill inside the first game.)
Most notably the monsters that attack heather crawling on the floor are visual representations of this japanese folk lore of bastard children.
these same monsters appear in every silent hill crawling underneath the floor, sh1, sh2, sh3.
they even can hurt james attacking from underneath even though the theme is different the yokai are still in silent hill.
SH3 is also my favorite as well. Heather is a great protagonist, and the issues she goes through and themes of this game always felt much more relatable to me compared to SH2.
Same
Sexy busty and buff monsters were more personally more relatable for me. 😈
It's awesome to see smaller channels putting out great long-form content! Keep it up dude, I love it
Thank you so much! you made my day!
@@FreddyDude r u a gamer???
@@greaseball8057 no, he just plays games with your mom
😅
The town: "Eh, Ima let this monster die just to give her a chance. She's important."
Also the town: "Yo if she walks across this bridge she done. Lol."
Lmaooo
Falls into the modern SH fallacy of thinking the town is sentient
Yeah, I never bought into the idea that the town is sentient, I think it just reflects a person subconscious.
fuck it, she gon respawn anyway she good
@@KotoCrash could be sentient and operating on a completely alien mentality. Could be sentient and just operate on the mentality of a cruel kid. Could also not be sentient as well. The only fallacy I believe in is the fallacy of thinking there's certainty in how the town functions rather than just different interpretations to which one might subscribe or not.
Shit, I myself had this one moment that might have preceded a seizure where I was nearly able to map out harry's movement in SH1, including an explanation for that whole bit after the antique shop altar where he wakes up at the hospital, other than "it was just a vision" . But at the end of the day it was just me tryina make sense of something clearly operating off of the rule of scary.
I think what this game is about is repressed memories of a traumatic events.
Something nobodies ever brought up is at the beginning of the game on the phone to her dad, she says “I forgot that thing you wanted me to get”
Implying she has a bad memory.
One of the first things Claudia says is “remember me and your true self…”
Then from there on she continually remembers through out the game until she full remembers.
thats an interesting theory! never thought of that
Not a bad theory, except the dev team have outright stated its about a teenager dealing with puberty :/... I mean its telegraphed quite a few times lol.
There's a theory out there stating the game was originally set to be about sexual assault and an unwanted pregnancy resulting from that. If you think about it, lots of images from the game pops into mind, backing this theory up. Tying it back to the first game, Alessa was figuratively "raped" by the cult and impregnated with a "God" (a very interesting, evil version of the Christ myth). The fire and the splitting of Alessa's soul, and the birth of Cheryl is Alessa's first attempt to forget the trauma and to be in a state of "childlike innocence" once again. As we know from the first game, it doesn't work. If you try to repress trauma, it always comes back at you.
Heather is Alessa's second attempt. But she literally carries Alessa's trauma inside her, since Alessa (even when creating Heather) was never actually saved and lived through a normal life she dreamt of. In her dying moments, Alessa gives herself (in the form of Heather) one more chance to face and conquer her nightmare (represented by the fetus of "god" inside Heather that is getting stronger being fed with more trauma) before it's too late. And heather does just that: not by taking revenge for Harry's death by killing Claudia, but swallowing the Aglaophotis pill inside the pendant that Harry gave her.
It is beautiful really, Heather/Alessa/Cheryl is finally free of this "God", this living nightmare of repeating and reliving past events over and over again by remembering and honouring the only person who loved her in her multiple lives: Harry. And at the end, she moves past Alessa, but also does not need Heather anymore. She is now Cheryl; the name her father gave her.
@@tuncaydogmusco.70 beautifully put, I love to read analysis like this one because it makes you rethink everything right from the start
I know I'm supposed to be sad during the discovery of Harry dead...but how can I be feeling down when I'm listening to such a banger of a song?
Honestly. Yeah lmao
Listening to an analysis of Silent Hill is right up my alley, but combined with your humor was killer. I was saddened it ended before we got to the end of the game! Thanks for the awesome video.
This was my 1st SH game ever. Saw it at blockbuster and asked my mom to rent it for me. When i got home i thought i could handle it but nope! I lied to my mom and said it wasnt working so we could return it lol i was so scared by the time i arrived at the underground tunnel area. Probably a year later i gave it another go and beat it. This game was so immersive and spooky af lol my kid brain wasnt prepared for it 😂
That Shakespear puzzle on HARD... We had some afterparty with the guys years ago, decided to chill playing PS2, chose SH3 of all the CHILL games... At this puzzle we gave up, thought to do some casual run, but someone put puzzles on HARD...
my partner and i had to concentrate on solving it for 2 solid hours to finally finish it lmao
Biggest problem with 3 for me was it's length. It was too short.
Like my reproductive organs.
Probably because it was too linear like SH4, even when you arrive in Silent Hill, you really can't do much, you can't even visit Rosewater Park
Unlike the dick monster boss.
@@yunjin909 true, I still feel SH2 is the best one.
too short indeed
I believe the Numb Bodies could possibly symbolize families. They are the only enemies in the game with a large version that also have smaller ones gathered around them and bay like sheep, calling for mother's help.
They could symbolize the literal fetus growing inside Heather.
They simbolyzed Mother ducks and the ducklings which imprints...? I... think
You earned yourself a sub my friend. The honesty, creativity and seriousness in one makes this analysis really great.
Love the editing and relaxing voice, channel seriously deserves more subs
This is one of the funniest videos I've see, with a completely serious review of the game. Loved it!
The dreary gray hallway with scriptures written on the walls and the prison bars on the side right before entering the church, then the two little girls hanging above Viatel later on in the building have haunted me ever since I first played the game in 2004. An indescribable sense of dread.
Claudia: Your power is needed.
Random Heather: I can borrow you the batteries in my pocket...
Please make a part 2, loved the commentary
This was so well made. I had no idea about the silence of the lambs reference. It still is and will always will be my favorite game of all time. This entertained me.
the editing and overall quality of this video is insanely impressive. Im surprised this alone hasn’t garnered you over 10k subs
This was honestly a great watch had me interested throughout and inspired me to go back and play the SH games. Keep it up !
honestly this is one of the best silent hill 3 videos i have ever watched keep it up man
Great video! Your sense of humor made it such a compelling watch
Really enjoyed this video, can't wait for part 2. It baffles me that you don't have more subs. Keep up good work
Can’t wait for what should be a Part 2!!! I love analysis on games like Silent Hill, and this one was both captivating and funny.
Personally what makes SH3 the scariest and also the reason why it's my favorite is it's noises and the "in your face" horror. Now, horror and what scares you is super subjective. Everyone have their own fears. A lot of people have criticize that horror should be silent, it should be subtle. I can agree on some extent but as an intorvert and as someone who's not really used to busy crowds, Silent Hill 3 scares me the most because of it's "in your face" horror. The loud radio static, the background music everytime there's an enemy around disturbs the crap out of me. If Silent Hill 1 is a balance a dream (whenever you're in foggy town) and nightmare (whenever you're in the otherworld) and hell and Silent Hill 2 being mostly about the dream, Silent Hill 3 is mostly the nightmare and that's why I fucking love it.
Waiting for part 2!!!😃 That was incredible 🤩
What a great analysis. Congratulations for such a gem of a video! I love SH3 and it was always my favorite, along with Heather being my favorite character. About the Numb Body, I always had a theory that it kinda symbolizes a fetus of some sort, since the game explores this theme very much. Even if it really doesn't mean anything, I like to think that way.
Thanks you. I think that's a pretty solid theory!
you deserve alot more, this is some quality content
I got this in my recommendations, as a massive silent hill fan I'm so excited to watch this.
So glad other people think 3 is the best. Not only is it the scariest by far, I love that it doesn't just completely take place in Silent Hill and I love the first few areas ( though the subway is a pain ) but the thing that really makes the game for me is Heather. She's like, head and shoulders above every other SH protagonist, easily. Even though SH2 has a more captivating story, James is just not a good protagonist at all. He straddles this weird line of being a blank everyman for us to fill the shoes of, but they don't really commit to it and it's too personal of a storyline for that kind of character archetype. I love Sh2 don't get me wrong.. One of the best games ever made. I just prefer SH3.
Heather is SILENT HILL.
She had to be the one to end the story of The Cult, Dahlia, Claudia, Alyssa and everyone that was the cause of all the horrible nightmares cursing the town.
She is the reincarnation of Alyssa, and the fact that she is, makes the poor girl cursed even more, that’s why the mall, the Subway, and the apartments were inverted with the Silent Hill Dark World Twist, and it’s because the poor girl is haunted with Alyssa’s power still somehow, and she doesn’t know it or understand it, until she comes across Claudia and Vincent.
I love Silent Hill 3 too, it’s my second favorite over the original, YES, Silent Hill 1 is my absolute favorite of all the Silent Hill games.
Silent Hill 2 and 4 felt like side stories compared to the main Cult Plot.
I won’t lie, I actually shed a tear when Harry died, he was my favorite character and I felt for him after all the hell he been through literally.
@@jerrym1218 I can definitely see SH1 being your favorite. It's got an absolutely incredible atmosphere thanks to the limitations of ps1 hardware. Tons of amazing indie games nowadays are trying to replicate that look because it's so potent.
And yeah Harry dying was brutal but I think it was what helped make the rest of the events hit so hard. Still, I wish we had gotten to experience some of him in SH3, however briefly.
@@arsonne I know, there is just something about the PS1 graphics that makes Silent Hill 1 extra creepy and stand out from the others.
There is a lot of cool Indie games using the same type of graphics for their games too, Lost in Vivo is one that comes to mind and it’s awesome.
I hope one day we get some kind of reunion with Team Silent where they bring us back to Silent Hill with a brand new story and brand new characters, but I know that it’s just a fantasy that will never come true, one could dream though 😬🙏🏼.
@@omardelmar A well-stated opinion. Thank you for bravely coming forward with your story.
@@arsonne you're welcome.
love the video, one of the better silent hill ones I've seen
During my ulcerative colitis flares these types Silent Hill videos help me through it. Really love the vid, see you put much care into it.
Really funny & surprisingly profound take on one of my favorite iterations of this franchise! Your humor is spot-on & your commentary is very entertaining, I’d tune in to a second part in no time flat lol
Keep up the awesome work dude 🤘🏼
Nice video dude👍🏻👍🏻
Love the music, the clips, the memes, the analysis was well done. Thanks for the upload
thank you for this content about the BEST entry in the series, will be waiting for part 2
WE NEED NEXT PART! I love your calm voice explaining and the atmosphere that you can create! I love this vid keep going! ^^
Finishing another video and just started working on part 2. And thanks I've always hated my voice lol
@@FreddyDude Everybody is judgemental about them selves, in my opinion your voice is cute qwq
Great video, and great commentary! The edits were very funny. This game really is a masterpiece
Thank you!!! It's my favourite one in the series personally
Very good video. Would definitely enjoy seeing more of this.
I remember being stuck on the hard mode puzzles for a year. I was a child and didn't know about internet or gaming mags. Also being a huge SH fan and consuming countless hours of content I didn't expect this to be so entertaining. Thanks!
Amazing content! I have seen alot of silent hill 3 Content but this my friend is the best 👌
Damn, this was fantastic! Congrats on putting this together
you dont receive enough love for this, keep up the good work
I love this game, probably my favorite of the franchise ❤️
Hope to see that part 2!
man, this video kicked ass. had me interested and laughing the whole way thru. good shit my guy
Ngl pretty good reviews keep it up bro I definitely want to see your continue in this direction
love the video! keep up the good work! your editing and voiceover is super clean. would love for a p2 :D
This review was hilarious. Loved it
damn, you only have almost 1,000 subs?? your editing is hilarious and this analysis was top tier! you got my sub! please make part two!
Wow, this is pretty good analyse. I've always liked more SH3 than SH2, but i really never knew why
Damn that was a good video! You definitely have talent for these essay kind videos man. Thanks for making it!
The quality of this video was amazing. When I checked and seen you only had 425 subscribers I was dumb founded. You’ll Forsure blow up man, keep it up!
Incredible video on one of my all-time favourite games!! You deserve waaaaaay more subscribers, keep up the great work my guy
I’ll never forget the day me and my friend unlocked the first puzzle on hard only using Wikipedia and the internet without looking up the code. Honestly, one of the greatest gaming achievements of my life haha. I still remember Shakespeare solely because of that puzzle :)
Great video my dude!
Please make a part 2 I love your humor
Great video! I love your sense for comedic editing. I laughed a lot and enjoyed your commentary. Keep up the good work
Thank you!!!
@@FreddyDude so..part 2 when? haha
great video, awaiting part 2!
I love your humor! Keep it up bro
I love this! great vid
Humor is on point. I hope there is a part 2. Subbed!!!!!
There will be part 2!
@@FreddyDude hells yes 👏🥲👍🎉
Just subbed and eagerly awaiting Part 2 (and maybe other SH game analysis)
I don't know who you are but you popped into my recommended and your video is great.
Man this is great content!
I found bulletproof vest to be handy. It reduces the amount of damage you have taken by half or smth. I use it heavily in close range combat to save some bullets.
Love this keep making more videos bro
Im deadass so suprised how great edited and the level of the video you made im so suprised you dont got a million of subscribers by now i was so intertained if im spelling correctly
Subbed, amazing work, keep it up!
Definitely do a part 2. I always liked SH3 better than 2, also. I think SH2 was the first in the series for many (it was mine) and was put on a pedestal because of it. I enjoyed the game, but James' story is just some random one in the series. While Heather is a HUGE part of the history of the town, he matters none. Plus, I'd rather played Angela's story. Anyway, great job and hope you do a part 2.😊
Agree 100%!!!!!!! You put my thoughts about the games into words haha
Such a great video. Informative and funny 😁
i'm like a minute in and already you've got my sub. great work!
You're fantastic dude. Instant sub. ❤️
Need that part 2 man!
we love being some of the first subs to the channel, real shit thought i was watching something produced by someone much bigger, and only noticed the scale of your channel when the vid ended, keep up the great work champ
Thabk you. That's so awsome!
The books puzzle hard mode made me burst into laughter! Impossible indeed!
I don't tend to watch videos this long but the editing was gold xD also your voice is soothing~
Very good video! I'm kinda sad there's no second episode, it ends with very little conclusion and you dragged us into a great story without finishing it x)
Sorry :( I wasn't getting any views so I didn't even think anyone would see this
@@FreddyDude Give it time. I just got recommended your video.
@@FreddyDude nahhh it's okay ^-^ it's the opposite x) be proud that people liked your videos so bad that they wish there was more of it ! If you want fair criticism, i'd say sometimes the edgy internet / french jokes kind of humour falls a bit flat, but beside that that was a very pleasing video to watch, the rhythm, editing and narration is on point and it all got some identity, so that's cool, i like your cynic and nonchalant attitude (as long as it stays balanced to not only be a "fuck you jokes" fest), and all that is only my opinion, do what you want with it but yeah, i just wanted to let you know you got a good writing and hearing you narrate a story with a contextual commentary was great ! Hope to see more of you soon ^-^ (im a huge fan of these particular kind off videos, maybe other people will find it too long or idk, but i think that was good)
Also : your video title make it look like it's a review or analysis where you will show and explain multiples point that explains why SH3 is your favourite silent hill, but it's actually less an analysis with exposition > thesis > antithesis > conclusion
And more of a narrative letsplay complimenting the good things found along the way (good game / level design, good sound design / ambience / characters interactions etc) and the video ends abruptly with no real conclusion or message
So that's maybe where your script writing needs a bit more training imo, but besides, you can be proud of that video it was really worth the time !
Sry for such a long comment, i hope that feedback can be useful or whatever x)
subbed, great content and very entertaining too!
Nice job on this one!
For me Silent Hill 3 REALLY is the best game of the franchise. Because the protagonist is cute and badass. The story is very interresting, it takes places in two diferent places, but we do not know it. The most amazing thing, for the first and sadly the only time in the whole videogame's history we play with a protagonist with is also the antsgonist, since CHERYL is ALESSA.
love the video.....great work
Without watching the video I agree. Still watching anyways, but 3 was so well done. 2 gets so much praise and I find 3 gets thrown under the bus because of it. I found 3 built on what made 2 so good. I am so glad you chose to talk about this one.
i love this game even more since i watched this!
Awesome video
Hey man, great video, loved the timing of your jokes and overall commenting, you have a soothing voice. The editing is also really enjoyable. Subbed and looking forward to your next video, cheers my tuga boy.
Obrigadinho👍
Silent Hill 3 is the perfect example of how Artistic execution is more important than rendering technology. It is incredible that this game was made in 2003 on the PS2. It's timeless.
yeah part 2 definitely needed
how do you not even have 1000 subs. you deserve more.
Really glad that there's another dark soul out there who gets into Silent Hill as deeply as I do. These games really helped make me who I am
please talk about the rest of the game i love listening to people talk about silent hill
17:56 if you inspect the toilet and choose to stick your hand in, You get a funny cutscene. It really shows the creativity of the silent hill team and personality they gave Heather.
ayo your content is lit, when's part 2 coming?
Very entertaining and love SH3 as well. BTW Julianne Moore was not in Silence of the Lambs but in Hannibal. SOL was Jodie Foster.
hey just watched part1 and 2, you nailed it man, both great videos, amazing quality, keep up with it bro you're really good
and yeah, i hate how the silent hill community sees sh3, i mean it still on the "holy silent hill trilogy", but it really suffers from being released after sh2, the considered best horror game of them all.
Thank you! I do love sh2 but the elitism behind ut is kind of a turn off :/
@@FreddyDude well after this video I got that same elitism for sh3 now :/
I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS PERFECT
The first two are great. I have the silent hill HD collection for xbox series x and it looks good. If you're a survival horror fanboy then these games are a must have in your collection.
SIlent Hill 3 changed my life. The soundtrack has inspired my own music more than I'd like to admit.
I agree to almost everything you said. I also consider SH3 to be the best Silent Hill, and I love how you approach most of the game's topics.
Imagine if silent hill 3 got remade with resident evil 2 remakes engine. That would be amazing.
I enjoy your video style and presentation :3 here have some engagement and subscribering
NOOOOOOO I was so invested in this video...
Now I'm really sad to find out that there's no Part 2.... :'(
Belo vídeo sobre um dos melhores jogos da franquia.
You probably already know, but the idea behind the cleaner/detergent puzzle is mixing both of those is EXTREMELY toxic if exposed to it for a while, especially in a closed room :p
