    I love how many truths you find out in the hospital. I haven't always had knowledge about Silent Hill and have always wanted to experience the first game. When I got to I fell even more in love with this series. These videos help look at everything individually and why they are important to the game as a whole. Not everyone has the same outlook on the games. But it helps piece the story together for those who wouldn't have knowledge of some of the religious symbolism certain things have. If I didn't take art history I wouldn't have any knowledge of religious history.

      Ya know, looking back on the third game, that is a bit of a let down. I don't know why they would chose Brookhaven over Alchemilla for Heather's return to Silent Hill. For technical. reasons I get it was because the hospital was modeled and rendered from the second game but there's different rooms as well as a different alternate world from James's regardless. Alchemilla was a very influential place if they chose that route.

    The vines covering the gate to Alessa's room are kind of a plot hole, as Dahlia (and possibly Kaufman) were definitely there recently. Dahlia came to the hospital to destroy the aglaophotis that Kaufman had in his office and take Alessa.

    I've been trying to study Japanese for a while. I was playing the game with my friend (he was doing most of the playing while I helped solve things - I have cerebral palsy so tank controls are just not possible for me), and when the 4 appeared I started laughing maniacally. I explained why Japan has/had (I've heard its become an outdated practice) this habit of skipping the 4th floor in elevators and such. And he was like "so what you're saying is we're going to hell." 🤣🤣

    I grew up across the street from an abandoned school and that place was super haunted. At night i could see lights passing by every window which was impossible because the class rooms where divided by walls like normal class rooms and also constant voices talking very loudly but the worst was the basement where only me and 7 other friends found strength in numbers and foolishly ventured down with what weapons we could gather as 11yo kids like hammers, kitchen knives and baseball bats stuff like that. We grabbed each other's shirts with our free hand while the bravest of us was up front with a flashlight while the last in line used a bic lighter. So we are getting deep in to the pitch black boiler room / basement whatever and its quiet but then something runs past us stomping loud and hard as it ran. All we could do was run for the crack of light the leaked out of the exit. We all made it but to this day i still wonder wtf that was down there. I didn't mean for this to turn into a childhood story but it just feels right with this video.

      Why is everyone so confused? When the 1st Event caused by Dhalia and allessa caused Samael's Darkness to swallow silent hill, the hospital staff were driven to either fight the monsters they saw in their heads or like kaufman consider suicide. So it makes sense that those that succumb to samael entering the real world through their flesh would end up reanimate or possessed still with their gun at hand.
