Watching this video I knew I was going to eventually subscribe, but right at that part I immediately subscribed. Absolute perfect delivery

In the amidst of all that horror and suffering, it is heartwarming to realize that after the world had abandoned her, after Alessa was left to suffer alone in a perpetual state of decay and torment, after even her own mother sacrificed her for delusions of grandeur, one man came along that faced the abyss, stared into the torture her mind had projected onto the world and decided to fight through all of it, through the darkness, through the monsters, through the evil woman that had tormented her and even stare down and fight an evil god for no reason other than love, a pure love from a father she never had. Cheryl was Harry's little girl and he decided he would go home with her or die trying. Alessa was intent on dying but even she could not deter him from saving her. Now that's a dad.

This is why Harry should have stayed the protagonist of the SH movie. He’s a kind and gentle loving father. Changing his gender was stupid and I’ll never stop ranting about it lol

@@jordandaniels1381 how so?

I've been thinking about the story of SH1, and I've come to see it as a story about learning to live with the fact that someone you love can have been abused, and there's nothing you can do about it but be there for them. Cheryl is how Harry thinks of his daughter in the beginning. She's innocent and happy. Loved and protected. Alessa personifies the abuse. Harry sees her, and by extension the abuse she's suffered, as something to be defeated. She is the antithesis to Cheryl's thesis. Heather (left unnamed in this game, of course) is the synthesis of the two. The whole person who's both things. A beloved child who also bears the weight of experiences that Harry can't defeat. So he ultimately accepts that he can't protect her from the past and opts to love her and be there for her as best he can from that moment forward. She's a new baby to represent the new beginning, the opportunity to take what he's learned and simply do as best as he can from that moment on. What I especially like about this view of the story is that it's not about revenge. Harry doesn't fight the people who hurt Alessa as bosses, but manifestations of her fears. Because it's not about those people. Fuck those people. It's about her, about Alessa/ Cheryl/ Heather, and it's about Harry getting over his own shit so he can be there for her.

Honestly? I think this is the only seriously canonical summary I’ve heard so far- and believe me I’ve heard many. It’s often hard to connect the Silent Hill games because they’re all so different and abstract in their own way. Thankfully you pieced together the symbolisms and lore details without making it way too convoluted and I definitely appreciate that!

That's fair. She actually started with Silent Hill 1 but rage quit part way through. Later she was told to try 4 first which got her hooked in the universe, then went back to finish the series. Ended up being one of her favorites.

The name of the sect headed by Dahlia was mistranslated in the "Victim Files" promotional materials for SH4:TR as the Saint Ladies sect, but is sometimes corrected to the Holy Woman sect. (Bonus trivia: sometimes Saint Ladies is misspelled as Saint Ladles.)

Recently found your channel and your Silent Hill videos. As a long time SH fan I enjoy your videos and it's rare to see people talking about the franchise given how dead it is. There is something I want to bring up. First in the North American version SH1, there was a bug that prevents one note in the game being found, a newspaper article explaining that the fire was caused by a boiler exploding in the house, not by Dahlia's hands. I bring this up because it was important enough that the later European and Japanese releases of SH1 had that bug fixed. Combining that note with another note in the game about psychic powers, paints a clearer picture as to what happened. During the ritual, in fear and pain Alessa lashed out with her powers, causing the boiler in the house to explode and start the fire. After all it doesn't make sense that the ritual to impregnate her with the Cult's God would leave her body so ravaged that it would require medical and magical means to keep her alive. Of course Origins, a game made by a different team, tries to counter that, that the fire was part of the ritual but... well Origins does make a mess of things with regards to SH1's backstory and even in the game itself where we see the event it doesn't make sense with that notion.

@@ADAM_NORMAN For starters, there is only one Alessa. She did split her soul to create Cheryl. While there is a connection between them, they are separate beings until Cheryl returns to Silent Hill at which point the two fragments become one again. The teenage Alessa were see running around is an astral projection, her soul and mind while the immobile burnt body is Alessa's physical body. It's why several times Harry encounters Alessa she just disappears. It's because that Alessa is but a phantom. Heather is a reincarnation of Alessa and a completely different person. While she does possess some of Alessa's and Cheryl's memories, they are just that, memories. In fact after the Memory of Alessa Boss, Heather comments about the difference between them and how even though she remember Alessa's life, disagrees with Alessa's attempts to killed herself and Heather. Alessa never had ties to the Cult? Her mother was a leader in the Cult. She was raised on the Cult's beliefs. She may have rejected them and may not have been an official member of the Cult but she did have ties to it. Alessa was not in a coma. Her body was crippled by the fire and her powers were diminished from splitting her soul. Magic was involved to keep her alive and to inflict more pain on her to draw the other hald of her soul back. But Alessa was conscious through all of it. Only in the film did Cheryl have dreams of Silent Hill. Alessa did reach out and plant the idea of going to Silent Hill but it wasn't to figure out the cause of strange dreams. Harry took her there because it was a resort town for a vacation. Finally Dahlia died at the end of Silent Hill, full stop. Nowhere in any of the games does it suggest that she survived. If you are making a fan-game, you really should study the lore better.

@@ADAM_NORMAN Unless you work for Konami or have reached a deal with them, it won't be official. It's nothing more than a fan-game. And if you charge for it, you could risk a lawsuit. Plus no one working on a professional, official project would reveal said project before it was officially announced or lengthy conversation with a YT rando with what would supposedly be the project's official YT channel. They would also have an avatar that was an image related to the game in question rather than just the basic YT first letter of the channel name avatar. So yeah, whatever your project is, it's an unofficial fan-game. Also you and I are not saying the same thing. You said Dahlia initially survived SH1. She did not. Nowhere has it ever been said otherwise. Only in the films did Dahlia survive but the films are their own continuity. You said there were multiple Alessas when there was only one. Both Cheryl and Heather were their own beings. Burnt Alessa and Teenage Alessa were the same person, the latter just being an astral projection of the former.

i recently got into sh1 and am currently through sh2, had no idea it was this deep or if any of it really meant anything as compared to other horror games (that aren't even scary) never put this much effort into its lore if any, granted most of it is up for interpretation, the fact that THIS is just one of those interpretations is the greatest thing in my opinion, not even mentioning the different endings that leaves you with even more information to decipher, except that dog ending in sh2 that was spoiled to me by dunkey which uhm.. anyway thank you so very much for this, it deserves way more recognition and i appreciate the effort and just perfect story telling by your part!

I'm glad that I got to see you stream SH. We learned that water chestnuts are evil, rich decadent choclate goes with a well aged chedder. Valtiel was also the one known to have murdered Lisa Garland. That when confronted with God TIptoe's first action is to reload

Dropped in to comment that you have a great voice and narration style perfect for audiobooks. Then I read your youtube bio and it all made sense. Keep up the good work. Subscribed and bingeing your channel for the next few days.

I *love* this. Fell asleep to it last night. It made me re-experience the horror of the first game and gave me chills the way you described and phrased things. I love when actual writers write and talk about Silent Hill, it’s one of the best games to dive into intellectually

Of all the Silent Hill videos I’ve watched, you’re the only one I can remember even mentioning White Claudia, let alone explaining it. I played this game like ten years ago, so I was starting to think I’d made it up

The beauty of these games and topics is they're SUPPOSED to be open to perspective. Yes there's a legitimate story, there's a lot of in depth lore, but it's written beautifully in a way that you can take what you want from it. There shouldn't be arguing about who's right and wrong, but a discussion about how we saw and felt playing through these phenomenal stories. We all view things differently, and pull from our own experiences to do so, why not build the story up, rather than tear each other down.

your pacing and build up in assembling the lore is second to none. Your channel is my first stop in any media exploration

The fact that you gone your way to write a audio book just to convey the silent hill game plot in the most dramatic and captivanting way possible, would classify you to do a great silent hill movie adaptation. Amazing Video.

You are a wonderful storyteller yo, very well made video

It's incredible how I've watched this on my third time already. Good job on the presentation!

Oh just found you channel! If you enjoy horror games with some lore inspired by the like of Lovecraft and Poe. I would highly recommend Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem for the GameCube. It’s a personal favourite must have played more than 20 full completion runs.(have to complete the game 3 times to get the True ending once for each Ancient alignment Red(Hard) Blue(Medium) Green(Easy) which you choose at the end of the First Tome Chapter. This will all make sense if you play. I would highly recommend you pick Green Statue first as it’s the easiest run difficulty wise and will allow you to experience the games special feature the Sanity Effects most often.Yes you have a sanity meter. Hope you enjoy it and I wonder if you can see the games one and only jump scare coming?)

I soooo love your videos!!!!!!!! ❤

silent hill is my favorite horror game franchise. bar none. it's lore and story are both dense and sometimes up to interpretation. i have watched many silent hill videos as i love the story and revisit the town thru these various videos. your videos, however, bring a new style of story telling that really do an amazing job of both narrating the story as well as recounting the facts. subscription well earned and excited to watch more of your work. thank you for bringing my favorite story to life without all the other bs that often drag down my enjoyment of other videos.
