Summary
Henry Townshend is a man living in a small apartment in South Ashfield, a neighboring town of the infamous Silent Hill. On one strange night, Henry has a terrible nightmare, with recurring events: his phone is dead, his windows are sealed, and his neighbors can’t hear him. He looks at his door, only to see it is blocked by several thick metal chains. A note is pinned to the door: “Don’t go out!” It is signed only by a man named Walter. Henry explores his apartment, trying to figure out what is happening, when he spots a giant hole in the wall of his bathroom. Henry goes through the hole, only to find a portal which leads him to alternate dimensions. Hopefully, Henry will find out the truth about his apartment, Room 302, and live.

Extremely original story
great graphics
Gameplay so tedious and repetitive that would never replay
This game was utterly infuriating. Where to begin: first, the combat was total garbage- locking onto enemies is helpful and having the “charge up” mechanic is a nice edition, but the enemies are GARBAGE. They’re either too agile or too annoying to deal with- not fun in the slightest. Second, the necessity in the game of needing to return to the titular “Room” was so unbelievably tedious. It was just so repetitive and a slog to get through. Third, the second half of the game BLOWS when you basically turn into a babysitter and have to protect Eileen the entire time. Keeping her from taking too much damage is nearly impossible, especially with the Ghost enemies that never stop coming. A huge step down for Silent Hill games. Nice graphics though.
