Silent Hill is a 1999 Survival Horror game published by Konami, and the first game of the Silent Hill franchise.Single father Harry Mason and his young daughter Cheryl are driving to the resort town of Silent Hill for a holiday vacation. Suddenly, Harry swerves to avoid a girl standing in the road and crashes his car. When he regains consciousness, Harry realizes he has crashed on the outskirts of Silent Hill, and that Cheryl has left the car.Stumbling into Silent Hill, Harry discovers a town devoid of human life and choked in a perpetual fog, whose roads are blocked off by massive fissures in the ground and patrolled by skinless monsters. On his desperate search for Cheryl, Harry meets several other lone strangers: Cybil Bennett, a policewoman from a neighboring town investigating Silent Hill; Dahlia Gillespie, an elderly antiques dealer who offers to help Harry; Michael Kaufmann, a mysterious doctor who only seems intent on survival; Lisa Garland, a terrified nurse who implores Harry to protect her; and Alessa, a strange teenage girl who always seems to show up wherever Harry goes.And when an air-raid siren goes off in the distance, Silent Hill undergoes a dark and sinister transformation. What awaits Harry within this hellish otherworld?That's honestly as much as we can say about the story of Silent Hill on a straightforward level, because it rarely explains itself to players. While the game can be summarized as one man's personal struggle to find his daughter, it also deals thematically with the man's role as a pawn in a cosmic battle between two powerful entities over the power of a god, arcane occult rituals, reincarnation, possession, drug addiction, and alternative realities. The player receives few explanations for anything that happens, and the story often glosses over (or completely ignores) key events as it focuses on creating an intense emotional journey for the player.While its release coincided with the survival horror boom initiated by Resident Evil three years prior, Silent Hill offered a uniquely atmospheric, suspenseful and psychologically centered experience during a period when many releases in the genre relied on the jump scares and Zombie Apocalypse-style action of its spearhead title. The game's production team, most prominently its writer and director Keiichirō Toyama, later produced Sony's Siren series, which also relied on a more psychological storyline.Konami released a remake/reimagining of this game in 2009 titled Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. | |

Heel–Face Door-Slam | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_15b09af9 | comment |
Heel–Face Door-Slam: In the Good Endings, Kaufmann comes to Harry's rescue and (painfully) exorcises the demon in Alessa's womb, ensuring Alessa herself will survive long enough to help everyone escape. It's not enough to redeem his douchebaggery towards and eventual murder of Lisa, who shows up to drag him off to Hell. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: They're a staple of the series, and this game features five of them. The ending you get depends on Cybil's fate and whether or not you found an important item in Michael Kaufmann's apartment. The "BAD Ending": The worst ending of the game, it happens if you don't get the item and Cybil dies. Everything turns out to have All Just a Dream, and Harry is dead, still in his broken-down car. "BAD+ Ending": Happens if you don't get the item and Cybil lives. After Alessa disappears, Cybil asks Harry to escape town, but Harry has lost all will to live. "GOOD Ending": Happens if you get the item and Cybil dies. Kaufmann betrays Dahlia and forces the demon out of Alessa; when the deity within Alessa is defeated, Alessa reappears in her final moments to hand an infant to Harry before dying. Harry then sprints out of Silent Hill, making it onto an open road before looking up into the night sky. "GOOD+ Ending": The best ending, happening if you save Cybil and get the item. It's identical to the GOOD ending, but this time, Cybil escapes with Harry and baby Alessa. This is the canonical ending of the game. There is also a joke ending where Harry gets abducted by aliens. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Two. One is the Flauros, which, like any good Chekhov's Gun, makes its purpose apparent at the right time. The other is the Aglaophotis, which may make its purpose apparent, and only after the knowledge is useful to either Harry or the player. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The plot is retroactively stated to have taken place in 1983note This was stated in the "diary" of the protagonist of Silent Hill: Homecoming, posted on Konami's website to promote the game. Both the diary and the game it promoted are often considered to be non-canonical, yet the FANS Casual Fashion Store states its year of establishment as "1987" on the sign◊. Less concrete anachronisms can be drawn from real-life comparisons: The model of Jeep Wrangler that Harry's vehicle takes after wasn't produced until 1985, while the pistol Harry gets from Cybil is a Smith & Wesson Sigma, which wasn't produced until 1994. | |

Easter Egg: Amid the numerous knock-off logos scattered around the town, one cargo door has a Jack Daniels Old no. 7 label painted on it. It can be seen right next to the REDRUM Shout-Out, across the street from the Balkan Church and the Nautilus gas station. There's also a real Jim Beam label found elsewhere. If you begin a game with Konami's Justifier light gun plugged into the PlayStation, Harry starts with the Hyper Blaster in his inventory. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Axe. It's a pretty good weapon and allows Harry to stay mobile unlike the Pipe which requires him to stand still when swinging, and the Emergency Hammer, which roots him to the spot even when readying the weapon. Unfortunately, said Emergency Hammer is a far better weapon with a great range, much more power behind the swings, and is found in the area just before the Axe is found. As a result, the Axe is more of an item for collection's sake than anything of real use. | |

Booby Trap: The fridge in Nowhere. It wouldn't be so bad, except that it's the only one in the entire game and it happens without any warning. The game expects the player to be suspicous of the broken chains and ominous noises coming from inside, and therefore not open it. | |

Establishing Series Moment: The opening of the game perfectly demonstrates everything that makes Silent Hill such a unique and terrifying brand of psychological horror. A foggy, unnerving town with nobody around that steadily devolves into a rusty, bloody nightmare with a massive Mind Screw taking place all at once. This happens in the first five minutes. | |

Though he visits a number of different places, if you count only the absolute MAJOR locations of things happening (Midwich Elementary School, Alchemilla Hospital, the amusement park, "Nowhere"), Nowhere is the fourth and final major location of the game and where reality seems to be breaking down and features the most difficult puzzles, harder encounters, and the final boss. | |

Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: Dr. Michael Kaufmann. He nearly shoots Harry in their first meeting, though this can be justified as rampant paranoia in a city gone mad. However, he doesn't seem entirely grateful should you manage to save him from a monster. Pursuing his questline further results in finding the vial of Agalaphotis and him VERY angrily snatching it from you before bitching you out. This conclusion is sealed in Nowhere when you learn he is in on the cult's plans as well. | |

The Doc proves surprisingly resourceful in the showdown with Dahlia. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In addition to being the only Silent Hill on the original PlayStation, there are several oddities in this game: This is the only game where its infamous nurses act the way they do because of a living parasite. Alongside nurses, there are also doctors, the only game in the series to have them. There is little emphasis on puzzles; the bulk of the gameplay is on survival and combat. While specific choices during gameplay affect the other games' Multiple Endings, most of them also depend on the behavior of the player. This is the only game where the endings depend on choices alone (In this case, the endings depend on two things: whether Harry saves or kills Cybil Bennett, and whether he finds or doesn't find an important MacGuffin in Michael Kaufmann's apartment.) A minor difference is that the monsters don't have as much psychological symbolism as the monsters in later games. Instead, they're simply based off of things that Alessa was either interested in or afraid of (dogs, insects, fairy tale monsters). | |

Book Ends: The GOOD+ ending has Harry and Cybil fawn over infant Cheryl in the cemetery just like in the opening cutscene. After saving, the opening cutscene of a Next Fear game begins with Cybil in the place of Harry's wife. | |

Seeking Sanctuary | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_54fbf23f | comment |
Seeking Sanctuary: After the long, horrific experience of the Otherworld school, Harry is drawn to the Balkan church by the sound of its bells. This is perhaps the only part of the game where there are no monsters present on the streets, not including the very beginning. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Cybil Bennet tries, and, to her credit, offers you a handgun that proves useful throughout the game, but ultimately she doesn't accomplish much (to be fair she's completely out of her depth in this situation). Whether you kill her or not is largely inconsequential to the plot or the safety of Harry and his daughter. | |

False Reassurance | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_5a963d1c | comment |
False Reassurance: If you save Kaufmann at the bar, he tells Harry that a military rescue squad is on its way to restore order to the town. It's a lie, because he may not know exactly how the town went to hell, but as it turns out, Kaufmann does know enough about what's going on to understand that no outside help is actually coming. It's why he prioritizes killing Dahlia and using the Aglaophotis to destroy her "God" rather than trying to escape the town. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Compared to later games in the series, most parts of the Otherworld are extremely hazardous, with the volume of enemies pumped up to ridiculous levels. This is particularly true of the city streets, where darting from building to building is your only viable way to stay uneaten. Decidedly not the case with puzzles, as aside from one tricky music-based riddle, most are fairly straightforward and simple compared to the hair-pullers later games would feature. Part of the reason for this too is the rather unintuitive nature of the health gauge, which shows Harry's portrait and a colored moving line effect behind it. Granted, while you can USUALLY tell if you're in danger of dying as it goes from a slow-moving green (healthy) to a fast-moving deep red (near death), it's not a particularly good indication otherwise of just how damaged Harry is, which can sometimes lead to either wasting supplies when Harry isn't as injured as the player thinks, or he may be even more damaged than the player thinks and dies to another hit simply cause the player couldn't easily gauge his health. Thankfully later games are a bit more intuitive with their health indicators. | |

Token Romance: Averted. Some feel that Cybil's appearance in the opening sequence after finishing with a Good ending suggests this, but there is no other indication whatsoever that this is the case. As Twin Perfect argues in their The REAL Silent Hill Experience videos, it's much more likely that she's simply looking at the baby going "Cute kid." | |

The only problem is, he doesn't know he has the means until after he kills her, which would have to make the final encounter that much more sickening for the man. | |

Agent Scully: Harry and Cybil seem to think Dahlia's words about the darkness covering the town are nothing but gibberish and a result of drug intake. Nevermind the fact that by the time they say it, they are in a foggy, snowy, desert, monster-infested town with all roads cut off and no means of contact with the outside. Furthermore, by the time they say it, Harry has seen the transition to the Otherworld twice and Cybil had just seen Cheryl walking in thin air. Of course, Harry the protagonist slowly begins to believe the happenings around them, to which Cybil responds: "You're tired." | |

Bad Powers, Good People: Alessa has the power to control the Otherworld, which is somewhere worse than "ability to kill puppies by looking at them" on the good/bad power spectrum. Her goal in using this ability, though, is to keep herself from birthing the cult's god through self-destruction. The main character is the unwitting lackey of Alessa's mother, whose actions could easily bring about the end of the world. | |

Karmic Death: Dahlia putting Alessa through the ritual to give birth to the cult's god resulted in Alessa being horribly burned. At the end of the game, Dahlia gets burned to death by that same god.

In the Good and Good+ endings, she hauls him off to his demise. | |

There’s also Queen Burger, Fedy-X Espresso parcels, Poston Market, the (S)Hell station with the nautilus shell icon, the Circle 8 convenience store with its 7-Eleven motif, and the AEC restaurant that was apparently inspired by A&W. | |

Eldritch Location | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: Entire pieces of road are torn up and left as an empty abyss leading to nowhere. Interiors warp and weave through impossible areas and places that make no sense. And that's not even getting into the Otherworld Harry will stumble into when the sirens go off. Some element of the Cult, and of the God they worship, has turned the town into an isolated hellscape that warps to their whims. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: "Before you pull the trigger, know who you're shooting. And don't go blasting me by mistake, got it?" Bit of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it example, but in the opening, you can clearly see Harry picking Cheryl up off the ground. Why? This is answered only if you save Cybil: Cheryl is not his biological daughter. Rather, he found her, which is a highly important plot point. It takes a second playthrough to realize it, but the fact that Dahlia seems to speak in mostly gibberish that only seems to vaguely lead Harry around foreshadows that she's just using you since you're following random nonsense that makes sense only really to her. Harry never truly makes any real sense of what Dahlia's saying, which makes it easier for her to lie to him. | |

Route Boss | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_a21b9511 | comment |
Route Boss: The final boss depends on whether or not you save Kaufmann. If you don't, Alessa transforms into an angelic figure called "The Incubator" and Harry is forced to kill her, which leads to the Bad and Bad+ endings. If you did, then after Alessa transforms, Kaufmann will show up and expel the demon named "Incubus" from Alessa using a vial of Aglaophotis, and Harry must defeat that instead, which leads to the Good and Good+ endings. | |

Always Over the Shoulder: The extra "Self View" option unlocked after beating the game once gives you this, although the camera in this alternate mode sits closer in and higher up than the typical orientation, with only the back of Harry's head in frame.

Fate Worse than Death | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: Alessa's fate as an "incubator" for the cult's god. In the scene before the final boss emerges, Dahlia says the trope's name word for word to explain to Harry what has happened to Alessa. Lisa can't even just die. She is apparently just forced to hide in fear of the Otherworld forever, trapped within. When Harry finds her, she's hiding under a desk. She's just a manifestation of the town, but all the same she can't even just die after the horrors she witnessed alive. As of Silent Hill 3, her soul isn't merely still trapped there, but is also suffering in perpetual torment. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: The technological limitations of the processing power of the original PlayStation actually make the atmosphere of the game creepier, thanks to the console only being able to process a certain number of details at the time. The fog and darkness that's present makes it that much harder to clearly see the environment around you, and what the monsters you run into actually have just enough details present so you can imagine how horrific they look after you've played the game. | |

Developer's Foresight: For whatever reason, the dev team decided to avoid a particular Unintentionally Unwinnable moment. If you somehow make it to the final boss (who flies and is thus immune to melee) without any ammo, it will run a special script, rapidly take damage, and die anyways. Note that it won't do this if you have any ammo remaining, even if it's for a gun you might've missed such as the rifle. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: The piano puzzle is this for the puzzles of this game and the series in general. Prior to the school, all puzzles are of the "take object X to place Y" variety, but the piano puzzle requires you to read a strange poem to figure out which keys to press. If you don't want to resort to a guide, you'll have to use your head (and it's difficult to brute-force too). This sets the precedent for the puzzles in the subsequent games, many of which end up as Moon Logic Puzzles | |

Mental Monster | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_f5e01bcc | comment |
Mental Monster: The foggy town is infested with creatures ranging from spooky-yet-conceivable (e.g. Airscreamers, Groaners), to fantastical (e.g. Twinfeelers, Floatstingers), to outright nightmarish (Splithead, Incubus). These creatures represent the fears in the disturbed mind of Allesa Gillespie, a young girl whose tortured life at the hands of The Order drove her mad, and with the mysterious powers of the town, are brought to life. | |

School Uniforms are the New Black | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_f74ccef4 | comment |
School Uniforms are the New Black: Alessa's attire whenever she appears is a blue dress that appears to be some sort of school uniform. She's never shown wearing anything else, other than as Cheryl Mason and in scenes where she's wrapped in bandages. | |

Dying Dream: The worst ending reveals the whole game to have been this, but it's not the canon ending. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Silent Hill (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: Play through the game and note something: only Larval Stalkers and Lisa of everything in the game, never attack, threaten, or antagonize you. Even the fridge is trying to kill you. And larval stalkers set off the radio, as well as have a mature form as an enemy. Yeah. | |
