“It was foretold by gyromancy” is my favorite line in the game.

The fourth floor trick is also extremely good. Possibly a little frustrating, sure, but a clever idea for a horror game.

It’s pretty impressive how they’re able to create so much tension in the fog-world hospital, despite the low-poly graphics and the complete lack of any danger (the cockroaches don’t really count). Just the low hum of the music and the tight, claustrophobic camera angles is enough to set me on edge.
It’s kind of a shame we never see the non-rusty rest of the hospital, the other world version can be a bit samey at times. Although I suppose it’s to be expected that unlike the school Alessa wouldn’t know what the rest of the hospital looks like and only associate it with pain and her own imprisonment.
I do wonder where some of the posters come from, the calendars look like they were copied from real life ones and the picture of the nurse looks too much like a reference to be just a random drawing.
Also, just out interest, are you playing on the original hardware or through an emulator?

I’m playing the game through a pcsx emulator :slight_smile: I ripped my own game though!

I wished we got an updated view of Alchemilla hospital in SH3 and not Brookhaven again…

I’m glad Team Silent managed to make a good game despite everything they had to deal with, I still feel really bad for them. Sato especially; I hope he got to hibernate once the game released, he shouldn’t have needed to fight just to get proper credit.

Props to Toyama, though. I suppose out of everything, getting stuck with a genre you’re not used to managed to be one of the less distressing aspects of the game’s development, but regardless it’s impressive he managed to work so well out of his comfort zone. The unique inspirations did wonders.

I was super surprised to find out about all the different hardships! It’s so mind boogling to me that Sato did the CG all on his own (and that he learned on the job). It’s just unreal given how polished it is… I mean just compare his work on Silent hill with Square’s work on Parasite Eve or even Capcom’s Resident Evil 2…it has aged so much better!

Oh, I didn’t know that you had an account here! I remember seeing the beginning of this let’s play as you were in the recommended channels section of TheGamingMuse. Silent Hill 1 is my go-to in terms of let’s plays.

Hi! How cool! The Gaming Muse is awesome. I really love her content! I hope you will check out the rest of my LP :smiley:

You enter the final battle with no ammo and the Incubus starts reciting the “you cheated not only the game but yourself” tweet for the last thirty seconds he’s alive.

I feel like not many people talk about SH1 in comparison to some of the other Silent Hill games, but it still has a really solid storyline. There were a bunch of little things I didn’t know about it either, so the summary was appreciated. And I mean really, the fire was on purpose. At what point would you give Dahlia the benefit of the doubt?

Just tremendous, throughout, Whitney, thank you. Your passion for this old gem is infectious, and some great, well-researched info dumps. Finally found out what the heck a Green Lion is all about. :smiley:

Damn I missed a good joke! I should have put that tweet up when discussing the cheat lol!

I’m happy you enjoyed the summary video as well :slight_smile: I’m surprised the game’s plot isn’t discussed more given how a lot of people are confused about it due to its overall vagueness. I really don’t know why people are so keen to think the fire wasn’t on purpose given all the evidence to the contrary. Honestly I didn’t even realize that plot point was up for debate until TRSHE’s video years ago and now that boiler theory is constantly referenced whenever someone asks what the story of SH is…

Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed all the videos and even learned something as well! :smile: :smile: :smile:

Oh, I hadn’t noticed this update was made!
