Silent Hill

Silent Hill is the first installment in the Silent Hill series of psychological survival horror video games. Unlike earlier survival horror games that focused on protagonists with combat training, the main character Harry Mason is an average man. The gameplay consists of combat, exploration and puzzle-solving. The controller vibration is used to indicate Harry's heartbeat and will vibrate on low health. The player must regularly enter an inventory screen to check Harry's health, use items and equip different weapons. The story begins when Harry and his daughter Cheryl are driving to their favorite vacation spot. Late that night, a figure suddenly appears from the darkness. Harry turns the wheel in panic, and the car careens off the road, knocking him unconscious. When he wakes up some time later, he realizes that Cheryl is missing. He stumbles out of the wreckage and heads towards the small town of Silent Hill. The game was developed by Team Silent and published by Konami in 1999 for the PlayStation, and it is a single-player game played from a third-person view with action, horror and survival themes. It is also classified as a puzzle and adventure game.
