Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Damn, my police officer wasn't this hot!
You are Harry Mason, and after crashing your car, you find that your daughter, Cheryl is missing. The objective of the game is to find her, armed with pistols, chainsaws and bazookas... No I'm kidding. Unlike the previous Silent Hills you've been to, you are only armed with a torchlight (that never runs out of battery) and a cellphone (that... also never runs out of battery). If you're wondering how to kill the monsters in this game, good question. Unfortunately for you fearless protective Daddy-wannabes out there, you don't get to enjoy the pleasure of killing those creeps that kidnapped your daughter. While searching for his missing daughter, Harry will slowly recover fragments of his memories, as well as memories of others that still lingers in objects. Now here's the fun part. Whenever an object or person like that is nearby, Harry's torchlight will start to flicker and static noises and visuals will begin distorting your screen. This gets worse as you get nearer to the objects. When you're still not used to it, it can get quite frightening the first few times
I didn't manage to come to this place in the game :(
Most of the areas in the game will be dimly lit, if at all, and usually your never-say-die torchlight is your only source of light. Well, that's the point of the game, right? To keep you on your toes, the feeling of can't help but suspecting something is lurking in that dark corner. This game scores high in this aspect. While you will not be exposed to any danger when the world isn't frozen over and faceless frenzy monsters start chasing you, thanks to the excellent lighting in this game, you will feel that something might come at you in the dark. Fortunately none of this ever happened, that's why a wuss like me were able to complete the game.
My Dahlila was hotter ;)
What hooked me in the game was its storyline. While at the end it wasn't all complex and jiggle wriggle, it was confusing enough for me to want to connect all the dots together. The more memories I collected, the more jumbled up it got. And at the end it contained a twist that made me went, "Oh WTF?" If you're feeling a little daredevil and want to explore the dark a bit, get the game now
