Extremely original plot
Ambiguous and hard to follow narrative
cumbersome and difficult gameplay
A creepy game with IMHO absolutely HORRIFIC looking graphics, even for the time it came out. It leaned a lot on sound design and music to create a believable atmosphere, and legitimately clever puzzles to make things interesting. But, GOOD GOD, the voice acting was RE1 level bad. And most of the story is nearly incomprehensible, though it moves at a relatively decent pace. Overall, an odd, quirky, macabre game that isn’t really as polished or fleshed out as some people like to remember it. Decent at best honestly.

Like many other things made in 1990’s, this game is quiet yet very intense, it looks and plays very simple and minimalistic yet feels very deep. There is a lot of silence here and moments with nothing happening, but it doesn’t make the game boring: it makes “Silent Hill” suspenseful and frightening. Even with almost 20 years old graphics it looks and feels realistic, cinematic and true. The design, the story, the atmosphere, the soundtrack (especially soundscapes) and somehow even the gameplay – everything is excellent here.
