Translator 549690339

“Since they were both horror games, many players inevitably compared Silent Hill with outlast. ”

“Yes, these two games were the masterpieces of horror games. They could scare countless players away or make them wet their pants. They could also give the players some psychological shadow. ”

“However, the experience of these two games was completely different. ”

Many players who had cleared Silent Hill said that this was a horror game they had never experienced before.

“Silent Hill was very scary. It could even be said to be one of the scariest games. However, its horror didn’t come from the powerful monsters or the surprising route design, but more from the feeling. ”

“This wasn’t a particularly terrifying environment, but after adding a little embellishment, it seemed to have a kind of mana that could penetrate deep into the bone, making everyone shiver. ”

“This was a kind of terror on the spiritual level, a strong psychological hint. ”

“Every element in Silent Hill could stimulate the deep feelings in the players ‘hearts. It wasn’t expressed by external factors in the game, but by the stimulation and induction of the game environment, it could stimulate the fear in the players’ hearts. ”

The ending of Silent Hill had become a hot topic among the players who had cleared the game.

“””James committed suicide in the end? Oh my God, this ending is so torturous, I knew Chen Mo’s horror games would be like this, I’d feel uncomfortable if I didn’t die!”” ”

“””That’s right, Mary wanted James to live well, but James still died. Really ... You’re making me cry again!”” ”

“””Eh? What did that mean? In the end, didn’t James and Mary end up together?”” ”

“””With Maria? Are we playing the same Silent Hill?”” ”

“””...Why did I play James and the little girl Laura leaving Silent Hill together???”” ”

“After some discussion, the players discovered that the game did not only have one ending, but three! ”

“James committed suicide, James left with Mary, and James left with the little girl, Laura. ”

“In the beginning, many players thought that this was a prank, but after seeing the screenshots and videos, they realized that Silent Hill did have three endings! ”

But here was the problem.

How did all these endings come about?

Those who had played Silent Hill knew that the game didn’t have any plot branches for players to choose from.

“For other games, if there were many endings, there would definitely be many sub-plots in the game. The dialogue and behavior choices between the player and the NPC would affect the final ending. ”

But ... Silent Hill didn ‘t.

“It was a straight line from the beginning to the end, with no side quests and no chance for the players to choose. ”

“Even if there were any missing elements, they were basically some collectable ammunition, supplies, and so on, which would not affect the progress of the plot. ”

What was even weirder was that most of the players felt that the ending they got was pretty good.

“Whether it was the suicide ending, the Mary ending, or the Laura ending, the players who got these endings all preferred their own ending over the other two. ”

Many players were puzzled.

Chen Mo could guess what the players were thinking?

......

“A day after old P cleared the game, Chen Mo announced the list of players who had received the rewards for clearing Silent Hill, but he didn’t explain the ending. ”

“Originally, the players who gritted their teeth and cleared Silent Hill were all there for the rewards, but after they actually cleared the game, their interest in Silent Hill far exceeded the rewards of the other games. ”

Many players were very curious. How did the different endings come about?

“However, Chen Mo chose not to reveal the truth, and let the players slowly figure it out. ”

......

“In fact, the trigger condition for the ending of Silent Hill was very special. ”

[James ‘suicide] ending’s trigger conditions are

He often checked Angela’s knife.

He read the diary about ‘suicide’ on the top floor of the attic.

He often injured James without healing him.

He listened to the entire conversation in the last corridor of the hotel.

“Obviously, these actions were hinting at something. Angela wanted to use the knife to commit suicide, but looking at it repeatedly meant that James had suicidal tendencies. ”

The diary on the roof of the hospital had a paragraph that encouraged suicide.

“Often letting James get injured but not healing him showed that he had no interest in his life, and it didn’t matter if he got injured. ”

“After listening to the conversation in the corridor, he felt even more guilty. ”

“All of this accumulated, and James could not escape the fate of suicide. ”

[Mary] ending’s trigger conditions are

He tried his best to keep close to Maria.

Mary visited her many times when she was resting in the ward.

“After Mary died, he tried to return to the place where she died. ”

Don’t let Maria get hurt.

“At the end, don’t listen to the conversation in the corridor and leave quickly. ”

“The implication of this ending was even more obvious. These actions all meant that James cared about Mary winning over Mary and even himself, so it was not surprising that he chose to be with Mary in the end. ”

[Leaving with Laura] ‘s ending’s trigger conditions

After listening to the conversation in the corridor.

He often checked Mary’s photos and letters.

To keep James healthy.

Don’t get too close to Maria.

“Choosing this ending meant that James still missed Mary, but he still cherished his life. In the end, he chose to leave Silent Hill and continue living. ”

“In other words, these three endings weren’t determined by the players ‘conscious choices, but by their subconscious behavior. ”

“For example, when the players walked, did they get very close to Maria? this subconsciously reflected the players ‘attitude towards Maria, whether they yearned or rejected her. ”

“Without a strategy guide, players wouldn’t pay attention to these details, and they wouldn’t know that these details were the important factors that determined the outcome. ”

“In other words, the player didn’t seem to have made a choice, but the game guided the player’s subconscious to make a choice in the dark. ”

The players could slowly figure out this mystery.

......

“Although the event had ended, the players ‘discussion about Silent Hill had not stopped. ”

Players both at home and abroad were analyzing the truth of Silent Hill and every detail in the story from all angles.

“There was nothing more to explore about Silent Hill itself. Silent Hill was a place that could show the dark side of people’s hearts. In other words, the disgusting monsters in the scene were the embodiment of James ‘dark side. ”

The main culprit that the players had been looking for was actually James himself.

“However, what was the deeper meaning behind these monsters? ”
