-Looking at just the base contents of the game, Silent Hill gives you very little to dig into as to a “Why” or even a “What”. Harry’s wife is dead and he’s taking his daughter on vacation, and then everything else is shown in the opening.

-The placement of King’s “Study dammit!” poster, right next to what I believe is a reference to “The Mist” with the notepad is quite charming

-It’s interesting how ambiguous the opening playable section is. A constant descent into a nightmare that gets worse and worse, and at the end Harry wakes up from it. It’s never said how he got to the cafe, or if those events even happened. All deliciously ambiguous.

-One negative is how lacking the game is in flavour text. Harry is a very reserved character, this lacking aspect highlights how high alert one would be if their child went missing, but it definitely makes Harry’s character less apparent. Much like most of the themes and even the broader narrative of the game, the onus is left on the player to discern even something as mundane as Harry’s character.
