Playing this game, is about the craziest combination of feelings I’ve ever had while playing…
The horror, is not based on a jump scare or a cutscene….
The horror is as subtle as walking down an empty hallway with a flashlight that limits what you see in front of you, all of this while absolute silence fills the room…. Hearing every footstep, every crack and snap from the wood below, everything you touch making a loud noise that startled you over the ridiculous lack of more sound.
And then the monsters appear, and the sound is so loud, it’s overwhelming, and you’re now in panic mode trying to stay alive.
Heh, these were my initial feelings with this game when I first played it as a teenager…
But the true horror…. The true horror only comes when you’re mature enough to read through everything and slowly find out the disturbingly heartbreaking story hidden beneath a “simple horror game”.
This game is a masterpiece.
A gem, one that exists only once in a lifetime.
And one that, will change you after playing it.
There was a version of me before and after I played Silent Hill, and once you start, you can never stop…. The whole franchise becomes extremely enticing, and addictive.
I’m so lucky to have had the privilege of experiencing something as good and complex as this game.

xeno bros when u tell them u want to play xenoblade chronicles X 2 and not a 100 hour turn-based and multimedia JRPG series from 2002-2006 about nietzsche, jung and the bible in the context of a space adventure and how KOS-MOS' tit window and garter belts relate to that in terms of surface level understandings of quantum physics shown through the eyes of a menally ill engineer lesbian
