Son, I am absolutely flabbergasted at how much content youâre putting out. I hope you wonât get burnt out doing so much. Always proud of your work and itâs worth waiting for. I enjoy seeing the games from back in my day getting such loving attention from you.
Donât forget to make your bed.

I like that you donât fight Pyramid Head. James could see other characterâs demons like Angelaâs father etc and they werenât that hostile to James so it stands to reason Alex could see Pyramid Head (more accurately because of his lack of mental association with PH) but since itâs not apart of Alexâs manifestations, itâs not interested in punishing him. Itâs busy.

Honestly I want to elaborate on the introductory scene to Scarlet's boss fight, because it's pretty great. The doll you picked up is an old doll belonging to Fitch's daughter, possessed by her spirit after she was sacrificed. As she turns into this hideous creature, she picks him up in her arms, and he looks at her and asks for forgiveness. She cradles him for a second like... well, like a doll, presumably much as she did with her own dolls in life. And there is this one tiny moment where the whole scene looks almost loving, and then she quite literally bites his head off. It's metal as shit and I've loved that scene ever since I first saw it.
That whole sequence is the perfect example of why these later silent hill games drive me nuts, because you find these little pockets of fantastic material scattered around, but when put together into a whole game that plays like shit and is subjected to intense executive meddling, it all just goes bloop.

I'm so glad you mentioned the fact that this game suffers from the dev's lack of general understanding of the Silent Hill lore. As you mentioned, you can tell there was love pumped into this, but unfortunately the game seems to be more focused on being faithful to the 2006 movie than the actual previous game's lore. That on top of the cliche American horror, with all these action bits, jumpscares and worst of all, the torture p*rn. The whole hostel/saw aspect of it to me is the most egregious mistake this game made. The story of Alex and his amnesia also feels very cheap and forced, like its trying too hard to be silent hill 2. Last of all, this game does look good overall, but when you compare the character models/animations/facial expressions to those of silent hill 3, you can really see how this game is a downgrade even though it came out years later and for newer consoles.

The idea of a SH protagonist being a war veteran or just a soldier in general could work so well as a story about the guilt and psychological trauma of war and the town manifesting horrors for the player based on that. It makes this game more disappointing because that could have been so much better than what we got. I didn't like the twist about the protagonist not being an actual soldier but I guess they didn't do anything with the soldier idea in the first place for that to matter. I do hope if the series ever returns at some point the concept of a soldier in Silent Hill gets revisited.
Regardless, it did get a couple of things right like the atmosphere of the town. Yamaoka's music in the game is as great and memorable as always. Anyway, good work on the grind, son. Keep up the great work.

Feels like they originally planned for him to kill his brother it seems way to coincidental that he accidentally killed his brother by drowning when one of them had to be drowned anyways as if they last minute changed it into an accident because I feel like him drowning his brother as a desperate attempt to save his own life from being sacrificed would probably make alot more sense and hit harder then his brother slipping on a boat just seems like they originally wrote around him killing his brother at first

In regards to Pyramid Head, I did at first think that he didn't belong in this game and was unnecessary since he was a monster tied in with James and his inner demons to punish James for what he did. But when you think about it, he doesn't attack Alex. Almost as if he's observing him. And depending your actions and the ending, Pyramid Head could see potential within Alex to be another punisher like him and will be observing his actions to determine if he should turn him into another Boogie Man.

See, I feel like the whole "he was a soldier but not actually tho" would have worked better if they did like, anything at all with it.
Imagine if like, 3 hours into the game you come across one of Alex's "squad members" in town, and they said they came to check on him after he got out of the hospital. Have scenes where you're talking with him and they only show up when you're alone, or something.
Then have the twist happen and you find out that person is just a hollow shell, a figment of Alex's delusions come to life, and you have to overcome that to find some semblance of normalcy.
Idk, it could definitely be workshopped, but god I just wish it was like, anything interesting at all.

There was a quote from a developer on this game that went something like, "everyone came in screaming silent hill 5 mother fuckers! Then we stopped, took a look around and walked away, tail between our legs, whispering Homecoming" which I think really encapsulates the issues this game has. At its best its an over eager, derivative attempt at a love letter to silent hill. And at its worst, it's so comically bad it stains the name and the legacy of Silent Hill.
