Today’s game is Silent Hill f. I buckled down today and went through the entire thing. I did lock myself accidentally into the true ending though. How did I do that? Well. I thought I had to do a run of the normal, good, and bad endings. Turns out though you just have to do 1 New Game+ run to get it. So I met the criteria that locks you in on accident and went through with it. Not too big of a deal, though I had wanted to do the bad endings first. I returned back to the save point right before though and continued my run through to get the bad ending. I thought I had the motivation to do it all from scratch, i did not though.

I don’t want to spoil too much of the true ending, though I appreciate it for recontextualizing things again. Especially because I believe I misunderstood the good ending a little bit. I’m glad I pushed through though and finally got it out of the way. It’s the kind of nuance I personally kind of expect from a Silent Hill game.

Anyways. I wanted to appreciate the landscape. Kind of round out the trilogy I have here since I finished it today. I mainly wanted to acknowledge the eerie beauty the Fog World(?) has. Especially when it’s covered in all this gore looking stuff and flowers. It’s weirdly beautiful.

The shrine area is also beautiful though. I love it when it has these blue lanterns up. It’s a really pretty sight. Something about it is calming to me.

To end things off, here’s a more sentimental shot that I feel is appropriate for this game. I wish I hadn’t dragged it out so long. I appreciate it, though it had its flaws sometimes such as the durability or the sprint at the end. But I loved my time with it. And at the very least it’s left me with an urge to play both Silent Hill 2 again (maybe the OG next time) and Alan Wake 2. I think I’ve just developed an addiction to survival horror.
