Life moves. It changes and creates 'anomallies' which we choose whether we must face them, or run away from them.

"Time Is Solid Here" offers a meaningful and powerful experience by solving relatively easy puzzles within paintings that want to tell a story. It's up to you to decide how the story progresses and how you influence the people living in the painting to move on past their barriers. Each painting has it's own problem where it must be resolved however YOU choose to do it. I want to believe that this whole journey was a test. To see if you are able to help others, to be their light in moments of self-doubting and uncertainty, to prove to them that the change is neither good or bad. But it's something we all must face at some point or to shirk away from it.

This is the complexity of being a human. That is the 'art' of life and it's challenges.

In the end...

We are all in need of someone who will help us figure out what must be done.

I find it extremely hillarious that Konami, and her affinity to ruin a so-loved franchise of theirs, are able to make it even worse than expected. It is abysmal the fact that they try to make the game's message so obvious in the most cringe and bland way possible, where even the game's content can't even save it.

Should I start by the game's horrible chase sequences? The horrible voice acting and the attempt at lip synching it with 'live action' cutscenes? Or the fact that the game's protagonist is unispiring and boring to the point you actually don't give a crap about what they did and if they deserve redemption or forgiveness?

I sat for almost two hours playing this, hoping there could at least be something which would make me say it's decent. Which thankfully there was and it was the monster design and how nostalgic the soundtrack felt to the ancestors of this game. But it still baffles me that Akira Yamaoka chooses to return to create such masterful pieces of music for a franchise that the company itself gives no shit about. Akira has a deep connection with Silent Hill and it's obvious... But even he can't save the cringefest that involves the rest of the team behind the creation of projects such as this.
