yokai scare you more if you know what it is, too. I know some people in the west miss the innuendos (theme of childbirth gone horribly wrong and birthing demon baby that lives crawling under your house; borrowing like the original worm/moth in sh1. This makes a sudden reappearance in sh3, maybe the moth had babys, which is like saying there might be hundreds of larve yokai worm demons from that one moth harry didn't completely kill inside the first game.) Most notably the monsters that attack heather crawling on the floor are visual representations of this japanese folk lore of bastard children. these same monsters appear in every silent hill crawling underneath the floor, sh1, sh2, sh3. they even can hurt james attacking from underneath even though the theme is different the yokai are still in silent hill.

The town: "Eh, Ima let this monster die just to give her a chance. She's important." Also the town: "Yo if she walks across this bridge she done. Lol."

The only fallacy I believe in is the fallacy of thinking there's certainty in how the town functions rather than just different interpretations to which one might subscribe or not. Shit, I myself had this one moment that might have preceded a seizure where I was nearly able to map out harry's movement in SH1, including an explanation for that whole bit after the antique shop altar where he wakes up at the hospital, other than "it was just a vision" . But at the end of the day it was just me tryina make sense of something clearly operating off of the rule of scary.

I think what this game is about is repressed memories of a traumatic events. Something nobodies ever brought up is at the beginning of the game on the phone to her dad, she says “I forgot that thing you wanted me to get” Implying she has a bad memory. One of the first things Claudia says is “remember me and your true self…” Then from there on she continually remembers through out the game until she full remembers.

There's a theory out there stating the game was originally set to be about sexual assault and an unwanted pregnancy resulting from that. If you think about it, lots of images from the game pops into mind, backing this theory up. Tying it back to the first game, Alessa was figuratively "raped" by the cult and impregnated with a "God" (a very interesting, evil version of the Christ myth). The fire and the splitting of Alessa's soul, and the birth of Cheryl is Alessa's first attempt to forget the trauma and to be in a state of "childlike innocence" once again. As we know from the first game, it doesn't work. If you try to repress trauma, it always comes back at you. Heather is Alessa's second attempt. But she literally carries Alessa's trauma inside her, since Alessa (even when creating Heather) was never actually saved and lived through a normal life she dreamt of. In her dying moments, Alessa gives herself (in the form of Heather) one more chance to face and conquer her nightmare (represented by the fetus of "god" inside Heather that is getting stronger being fed with more trauma) before it's too late. And heather does just that: not by taking revenge for Harry's death by killing Claudia, but swallowing the Aglaophotis pill inside the pendant that Harry gave her. It is beautiful really, Heather/Alessa/Cheryl is finally free of this "God", this living nightmare of repeating and reliving past events over and over again by remembering and honouring the only person who loved her in her multiple lives: Harry. And at the end, she moves past Alessa, but also does not need Heather anymore. She is now Cheryl; the name her father gave her.

This is one of the funniest videos I've see, with a completely serious review of the game. Loved it!

The dreary gray hallway with scriptures written on the walls and the prison bars on the side right before entering the church, then the two little girls hanging above Viatel later on in the building have haunted me ever since I first played the game in 2004. An indescribable sense of dread.

Please make a part 2, loved the commentary

Personally what makes SH3 the scariest and also the reason why it's my favorite is it's noises and the "in your face" horror. Now, horror and what scares you is super subjective. Everyone have their own fears. A lot of people have criticize that horror should be silent, it should be subtle. I can agree on some extent but as an intorvert and as someone who's not really used to busy crowds, Silent Hill 3 scares me the most because of it's "in your face" horror. The loud radio static, the background music everytime there's an enemy around disturbs the crap out of me. If Silent Hill 1 is a balance a dream (whenever you're in foggy town) and nightmare (whenever you're in the otherworld) and hell and Silent Hill 2 being mostly about the dream, Silent Hill 3 is mostly the nightmare and that's why I fucking love it.

What a great analysis. Congratulations for such a gem of a video! I love SH3 and it was always my favorite, along with Heather being my favorite character. About the Numb Body, I always had a theory that it kinda symbolizes a fetus of some sort, since the game explores this theme very much. Even if it really doesn't mean anything, I like to think that way.

So glad other people think 3 is the best. Not only is it the scariest by far, I love that it doesn't just completely take place in Silent Hill and I love the first few areas ( though the subway is a pain ) but the thing that really makes the game for me is Heather. She's like, head and shoulders above every other SH protagonist, easily. Even though SH2 has a more captivating story, James is just not a good protagonist at all. He straddles this weird line of being a blank everyman for us to fill the shoes of, but they don't really commit to it and it's too personal of a storyline for that kind of character archetype. I love Sh2 don't get me wrong.. One of the best games ever made. I just prefer SH3.

Heather is SILENT HILL. She had to be the one to end the story of The Cult, Dahlia, Claudia, Alyssa and everyone that was the cause of all the horrible nightmares cursing the town. She is the reincarnation of Alyssa, and the fact that she is, makes the poor girl cursed even more, that’s why the mall, the Subway, and the apartments were inverted with the Silent Hill Dark World Twist, and it’s because the poor girl is haunted with Alyssa’s power still somehow, and she doesn’t know it or understand it, until she comes across Claudia and Vincent. I love Silent Hill 3 too, it’s my second favorite over the original, YES, Silent Hill 1 is my absolute favorite of all the Silent Hill games. Silent Hill 2 and 4 felt like side stories compared to the main Cult Plot. I won’t lie, I actually shed a tear when Harry died, he was my favorite character and I felt for him after all the hell he been through literally.

For me Silent Hill 3 REALLY is the best game of the franchise. Because the protagonist is cute and badass. The story is very interresting, it takes places in two diferent places, but we do not know it. The most amazing thing, for the first and sadly the only time in the whole videogame's history we play with a protagonist with is also the antsgonist, since CHERYL is ALESSA.

I’ll never forget the day me and my friend unlocked the first puzzle on hard only using Wikipedia and the internet without looking up the code. Honestly, one of the greatest gaming achievements of my life haha. I still remember Shakespeare solely because of that puzzle :) Great video my dude!

Hope to see more of you soon ^-^ (im a huge fan of these particular kind off videos, maybe other people will find it too long or idk, but i think that was good) Also : your video title make it look like it's a review or analysis where you will show and explain multiples point that explains why SH3 is your favourite silent hill, but it's actually less an analysis with exposition > thesis > antithesis > conclusion And more of a narrative letsplay complimenting the good things found along the way (good game / level design, good sound design / ambience / characters interactions etc) and the video ends abruptly with no real conclusion or message So that's maybe where your script writing needs a bit more training imo, but besides, you can be proud of that video it was really worth the time !
