Silent Hill is a survival-horror genre game. It takes place in a town called Silent Hill. Silent Hill was once a coal mining town long ago. The coal mine caught on fire, and this fire has burned ever since, drenching the town in the ashes the burning coal produced. Many miners died in this fire- yet the horror only begins there.
Many years down the road, an ancient, indigeneous cult known as the Order attempted to kill a young girl about eight years old- Alessa Gillespie. She was to be the one to birth a "god", and the story revolves around the nightmares she creates for the small town, and surviving them. Yet not all main characters are that knight in shining armor typical of movies and stories. Among the character cast are a murderer, a rapist/wife beater, a criminally insane man, and a girl with a dark history and future.
My personal rating of this game series is 10/10.
