There's something so beautiful and human about Mary's final letter to James. The voice actress actually crying makes it feel so genuine, it makes me emotional literally every time
It might be my favorite performance in a video game to date. I KNEW I had to play the scene in it's entirety - the delivery is like none other. Genuinely the most devastating moment I've ever witnessed.
There's a scene where Heather looks into a toilet and then looks at the camera and says something like " ew gross who would do that?" It's a funny shout out to SH2. Super glad I stumbled upon this video. Fantastic work
I recently enjoyed your DMC and RE lore videos and not gonna lie, this one came at a perfect time. My sniffly feverish ass needed this in ways I can’t put into words. Thank you for doing what you do! The way you present information is so interesting as a listener but also so damn entertaining. Keep on keepin’ on!
I just finished the SH2 remake, my introduction to SH. Absolutely thrilled to come across your video. Amazing job, thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning about the series!
One of my favourite things to watch is someone explaining SH to people who have never played the games. The lore of SH makes the teller sound insane, though I must admit this was very well presented.
15:33 slight correction: the character shown on screen here is not Dahlia, it's a character called Michelle Valdez who is one of the few original characters in SH:SM without any previous incarnation in any SH game. Dahlia in SH:SM turns out to be Harry's ex-wife. You meet a younger and an older incarnation of her in the game, and in the good ending you see that she is sort of a mixture of the two irl (since all characters are based on Cheryl's perception of them). In the best ending, the home video we see is the day Harry moved out of the house after the divorce. We see him go to his red car, and if you pay close attention you see a few snowflakes falling. This implies that this is the day of his accident, and the last time Cheryl saw her father alive. The whole game is about Cheryl coming to term with her complicated grief; she has been in denial that Harry is dead, and has explained his absence to herself by imagining that he is on a great quest to find her after getting lost in the snow. it is essentially a riff on one of the worst endings of SH1, in which it turns out that all of the game was a vision of a dying Harry sat in his car after the crash at the start.
an interesting fun fact: both Dália and Cláudia walk barefoot because this means that the place they are in is sacred and must be revered. So they consider Silent Hill and Otherworld to be sacred lands
Oh my God, why the hell is this franchise so sad. My older brother is a big fan of the series, so much so that he showed me and my mother the movie. The movie was dark but really good and it made me wanna get into the actual games. That being said, holy hills Batman, this is SAD
I don't comment on much videos or any I believe but let me just say that your videos are so well done the time you put into editing that stuff shows greatly! Thanks!
Lovely vid, I like how you explained every game unbiased and give them all their fair shake. Also, Homecoming Smile ending gang! That's my favorite ending in Homecoming and the ending I always considered canon, so I appreciate you considering it the true ending when I've heard most say Hospital ending.
I've definitely in my past not given things a fair shake - and I'm hoping to learn from those mistakes! So to hear someone see this as a pretty objective adventure is really refreshing and nice!! I also just imagine the Smile ending to just make more sense to me. Even if it's all in his head; he deserves to see closure.
Even though SH2 is considered the best, I love SH3. As an Angst Teenage Girl who kinda had to hide that I liked video games, especially Horror Games, because it just wasn't cool then. I related a lot to Heather, her fears of pregnancy... puberty, weird old man following you lol, extremely questionable fashion choices. She felt like a friend who would get me and I would love to hangout with.
Great video to watch, have as second screen, and listen. Another banger! I still haven't played Silent Hill, yet I've already been spoiled by the first two plots. But, since I most likely have ADHD, I'll forget the rundowns and play it like new.
Hey you know what?! That's the spirit! I hope that the spoils don't ruin the experience for you and that if you decide to - you enjoy the games!! Thank for watching again!
Me just peacefully painting my silent hill paintings watching lore videos- at the end just happy at the little acknowledgement of people working on something while watching. Also it went great very happy with my paintings.
Hot take but while I respect Silent Hill 2 as probably the best game in the series from a writing and thematic perspective, Silent Hill 4 and 5 will probably be my favorite games. I liked 4 because it essentially becomes Nightmare on Elm St the game and I like Henry as a character, him being just a normal guys dragged into this situation, meant to be the 'witness' to the horrors that Walter has done. I like 5 for a number of reasons. I liked the story, unraveling the mystery of Shepherds Glen and I also really liked the soundtrack. I get why people don't like it but IMO it's not THAT bad.............Downpour is though, it is THAT bad and worse IMO.
idk considering Alessa's psychic abilities, being the mother of god and kinda being responsible for the creation of the nightmare world we all know and love i think she may have him beat....
@@walkinonthebeach She's not the mother of God, literally anybody could bring God into the world if they put in a little work, Like Walter Sullivan. She didn't create the nightmare world I don't know why you just make things up lol, Silent Hill brings people's subconscious and manifest that we see everybody can have their own individual nightmare World James created a nightmare world and he's just some guy that's your second Point gone, and her psychic powers are kind of trash she can barely even control them herself Walter can literally make his own pocket Universe to rule over, Walter would easily solo her
this haunted quiet town Silent Hill will not let any person leave no matter what because no spirit has you see the old ones are never going to let them leave it's not going to happen . ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!
Idk when you wrote this script, but you forgot to mention sh2remake! Since it canonically happens after the events of sh2 I know doesn't make sense it's just weird to explain
Now do: Silent Hill Play Novel + Mobile DX Silent Hill Shattered Memories Silent Hill The Arcade Silent Hill Book of Memories Silent Hill The Escape Silent Hill Mobile 1, 2, & 3 Silent Hill The Short Message Silent Hill Ascension Silent Hill 2 Remake the Silent Hill movies and the rest of the Silent Hill comic books (Dying Inside, The Grinning Man, and Sinner's Reward) .... Silent Hill Pachislot ............DBD DLC (bonus points if you tack on the Silent Hill art DVDs/UMDs, and the manga series - Silent Hill: Cage of Cradle and Silent Hill: Double Under Dusk)
I gotta say I've tried to understand these since they came out. My wife was a huge fan, but all I saw was stilted acting, incomplete sentences, broken thoughts and "monsters". I've watched nearly every retrospective on these on youtube and after hours and hours of explaining.... I still don't get it. I've seen over 10 hours of these now, trying to connect to her and what you guys find so special about these, but I reckon I'm just too much of a normie to experience anything other than "It's deep man... it's about trauma and stuff....." I feel like the only normal guy at an art exhibition displaying dirty sheets and fog effects wondering why everyone is oooohing and aaaahing over these masterpieces, that to me say "If you touch this you'll get chlamydia".
WOOHOOOO LOVE BEING A SILENT HILL HEAD!!! chippy my goat this rocked so hard i am so glad you got to finally experience and revisit (over and over and over through the making of the video), the insane brainrot that is silent hill. the indoctrination was a sucess p.s. PT sink fetus my beloved 🫶
YEAAAHHH SILENT HILL!! I really do think these games are genuinely phenomenal and I'm so glad you never gave up on persuading me. They're such a treat and might be in my top 10 forever.
1:36:19 THATS ME GUYS THATS ME
This has real "look maa, I'm on TV!" vibes
The silent was the hills we made along the way
Had me 60 minutes throughout the video giggling repeating this same fkin phrase 😂
There's something so beautiful and human about Mary's final letter to James. The voice actress actually crying makes it feel so genuine, it makes me emotional literally every time
It might be my favorite performance in a video game to date. I KNEW I had to play the scene in it's entirety - the delivery is like none other. Genuinely the most devastating moment I've ever witnessed.
@@ChipmunkuChanwhat about the RD2 Letters also from a mary
30:54
Before finishing the game: "She's probably alive somewhere"
After finishing the game: "I forgot who my backseat passenger was."
There's a scene where Heather looks into a toilet and then looks at the camera and says something like " ew gross who would do that?" It's a funny shout out to SH2.
Super glad I stumbled upon this video. Fantastic work
I remember seeing that when playing!! Such a cute homage honesty. Love this series so much.
Thanks for watching!!
Finally an explanation on why the hill is so silent
What? Did you say something on that hill?
As someone who lost someone they loved to illness, Mary's final letter makes me cry every time.
I recently enjoyed your DMC and RE lore videos and not gonna lie, this one came at a perfect time. My sniffly feverish ass needed this in ways I can’t put into words.
Thank you for doing what you do! The way you present information is so interesting as a listener but also so damn entertaining. Keep on keepin’ on!
I'm elated to hear that!! Thanks so much for sticking around!! ☺️
Hope you feel better, and in the meantime - please enjoy! Much love ❤️

I WAS working on a project while listening to this!
an interesting fun fact:
both Dália and Cláudia walk barefoot because this means that the place they are in is sacred and must be revered. So they consider Silent Hill and Otherworld to be sacred lands
😲😲😲The editing is siiickkkkk, the loading into the game thing was very cool, you improved.
I'm proud ❤
Hah! Thank you - I'm glad to know people are enjoying the intricacies. That was my favorite part to do! WE STAY improving
dude akira yamaoka is a legend, his music is cut deep and i can't say how much i love his music
Oh my God, why the hell is this franchise so sad. My older brother is a big fan of the series, so much so that he showed me and my mother the movie. The movie was dark but really good and it made me wanna get into the actual games. That being said, holy hills Batman, this is SAD
Yess. A movie length video to watch while I eat my dinner 🍽️😋
I don't comment on much videos or any I believe but let me just say that your videos are so well done the time you put into editing that stuff shows greatly! Thanks!
This is such a wonderful comment to read; thank you so so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed and it certainly made my day to hear such!
Absolute perfection. I didn't even notice how long it was. Thank You!

1:30:29 "every hole is personalized" is a wild statement out of context
I like to pretend I'm in Silent Hill.
I write down everything about my Psyche on a piece of paper. I find it therapeutic.
Fantastic work as always, amazing!
Thanks so much I'm glad you enjoyed!! And as always thanks for sticking around!!
You definitely need more views. Amazing work
This is such a goated video
Love the re7 save room music in the background haha nice vid!
I will NEVER skip a 2 hour+ long silent hill video 💯
Loveee this SH Documentary ❤❤❤. You’ve got a Forever sub here👋🏾
In no way a beginner but I’m here. Thanks for much needed silent hill love ❤️
Loved this sum up of silent hill games! Hope you can do one for Final Fantasy franchise
PT actually gave me nightmares for years, even 13 years later I still can’t hear Lisa’s breathing without getting chills
i’ve been waiting for this yess ^^💗
Great video to watch, have as second screen, and listen. Another banger! I still haven't played Silent Hill, yet I've already been spoiled by the first two plots. But, since I most likely have ADHD, I'll forget the rundowns and play it like new.

Thank for watching again!
Finally I have attained the hills of silent
this… is cinema!!! (seriously amazing work)
this was great! well done dude
Hey thanks so much!! Means the world.
Me just peacefully painting my silent hill paintings watching lore videos- at the end just happy at the little acknowledgement of people working on something while watching. Also it went great very happy with my paintings.
ate my dinner to this… Absolute cinema 🔥
the drawing at 4:19 is my face when I see another upload
the editor was in the kitchen like 🔥🔥🔥
Aye thank you brother I aim to please
I foresee lots of visitors to this fantastic video as Konami chases that remake trend for Silent Hill 1,3, and maybe 4.
I am a simple man with simple needs I see a SH lore video I click it
The only games i played as a child were SH 1, SH 2 and SH Shattered Memories
One day while walking I realized… “Wow, it’s so foggy right now, it looks like Silent Hill.”
So I took a picture, cuz I thought it was funny. :3
This needs to be done with more games like Ben and ed
Damn, I didn’t realize that pachinko series had such extensive lore.
Yooooo, SH lore vid 🥹
I love how silent hill lore for beginners is 2 hours long lmao
Nice Video
Terrific as always! Fanastic!
I'm curious, would Outlast be enough of a series for a Lore for Beginners?
am i going insane or the faint female chanting heard at 1:17:35 is the same musical sting they use in danganronpa when you find a corpse?
I'll be so real I've never played Danganronpa; I'd be the last person to know.
Might just sound like it
awww heck yesssss \@o@/ Cipmunku video of survival horror game~?
im all in
51:00 I am crying!
HE'S BACK WITH ANOTHER HEATER FOLKS
True. Silent Hill doesn't want to be a samurai
Hot take but while I respect Silent Hill 2 as probably the best game in the series from a writing and thematic perspective, Silent Hill 4 and 5 will probably be my favorite games. I liked 4 because it essentially becomes Nightmare on Elm St the game and I like Henry as a character, him being just a normal guys dragged into this situation, meant to be the 'witness' to the horrors that Walter has done. I like 5 for a number of reasons. I liked the story, unraveling the mystery of Shepherds Glen and I also really liked the soundtrack. I get why people don't like it but IMO it's not THAT bad.............Downpour is though, it is THAT bad and worse IMO.
Playing 4 was a little rough for me. But LEARNING and reading the lore of 4 was completely unmatched.
Ah silent hill my depresión saga
omg my favorite femboy!! welcome back chip!! 😍
I’m gonna stop you right here
Commercial break
NO WAY IS THERE AN AD BREAK RIGHT THERE?
@ there was for me anyway ;)
That’s a funny thumbnail ngl

Tears of Blood from SH 1!
A fallout or gears of war lore video would be a great watch if your into those games love the vid!
Harry is dead. The bad ending is canon.

35:45 I cannot unsee dem moves
Where is SH short messege?
Walter sullivan is THE strongest character in the entire series prove me wrong.
oh no yeah he is OP dude can just kinda do whatever he wants
@ChipmunkuChan controlling and weaponizing silly hill > being tormented by inner demons
idk considering Alessa's psychic abilities, being the mother of god and kinda being responsible for the creation of the nightmare world we all know and love i think she may have him beat....

Idk when you wrote this script, but you forgot to mention sh2remake! Since it canonically happens after the events of sh2 I know doesn't make sense it's just weird to explain
