life is silent cringe
Kind of makes me appreciate how much the silence of PT creates the horror atmosphere. Imagine how much less horror there would be if the character explained every photo on the wall and on the dresser, or when you come back around the hallway, he expositioned "Hey, wtf? It's like I'm trapped in a loop! What the heck is behind me???"
But Bawk made it enjoyable.
10000%
This feels like ALAN WAKE ~ SILENT HILL
Damn you relaly put it into words well. This doesnt really seem like a BAD game, its just got that....writing.
PT owes a lot to Silent Hill 4: The Room
After Forspoken, it feels like more and more people are appreciating the silent protagonist trope.
I wish the main character did not talk so much tbh. Like she points out she takes anti depressants like why can’t it just be something thats there and they respect the audience to be smart enough to just realize
Because modern developers nowadays believe they have to spoonfeed everything to everyone.
I like silent protags as well. It makes me feel more connected to the game. I'd rather read their reactions on screen or through the notes i pick up
@@mikaross4671yeah it felt like it was just what they where saying in their head like actual human beings rather than saying everything outloud
Yeah the MC constantly talking took me out of it doesn’t help that the dialogue isn’t exactly all that well written
I get it companies should prioritize the majority. But I feel called out because I narrate everything I do 24/7 outloud public or private. So I honestly didn't mind the main character saying shit we know cause I do it all the time. Maybe it's my ADHD idk.
How fun is it that everyone got to get profit from PT by taking inspitation from it, except Konami who cancelled it. That's an L if I ever saw one.
This game contains Silent Hill seasoning.
This feels like Life is Strange but Silent Hill flavor
Life in Silent Hill is looking hella strange.
In my restless dreams, I see that town
Wowzers
@@Rockthenashtah I died lmao
*cringe
@user-zo9zo6ve7b ??? This shit is cringe asf. Not even a game in my eyes. It could be an unfinished one at most. Like Outlast 2.5 😉.
What made Silent Hill work is that it was weird, and it made the player feel weird. But if you are an indie studio pitching a multi-million dollar company your idea for the "next entry of the big franchise" the word "weird" is one of those that's gonna buy you a ticket out of the conference room, fast. Or, if you've gotten that far, your partially funded vertical slice of the project is still going to be cancelled and shelved when the execs panic at the "weirdness" of your game. "Weird" doesn't look at all like the market studies. "Weird" isn't safe for business. This whole attempt at bringing Silent Hill back is bound to fail, unfortunately.
The bits about bullying and suicide were way too on the nose and lacked subtlety. However, the child abuse section was far more immersive and handled better (save for when we watch the mother turn into the monster.) The acting and performances were very mid, especially on the main character. I feel the issue is more in the dialogue than her acting itself though. That final chase is also really rough, especially without a map.
However, the atmosphere, the art direction, the music? Incredible. The otherworld shifts were clean, the IDEA of the sticky notes I really enjoyed. And the part where they shifted into pictures of eyes instead? Loved that. The final chase otherworld had areas that looked like they were ripped straight from Silent Hill 1. The music was incredible as well, LOVE to hear new SH stuff from Akira Yamaoka.
Overall I'd give it a 6/10. I cant complain too much considering it was a free game, and I feel if there was some polish and better writing with more content, it would be a solid entry.
Yeah, I completely agree. You hit the nail on the head. There are some good and some bad. My biggest gripes are how forced and over-the-top the message is. I can appreciate them tackling serious themes, but my god is it phoned in at times, sometimes to the point of being comical. They could’ve handled it way better. I agree that the child abuse segment was handled better and was actually interesting (albeit fucked up).
The chase sequences aren’t bad. They can be tense and anxiety-inducing, but I don’t like how there’s no indication on where to go. I feel like I’m just running around aimlessly hoping I get lucky.
The idea of a teenager going through a SH experience is definitely interesting but this games story is just waaaay to obvious lacking all subtlety not to mention that the dialogue is pretty bad by todays standards. Still the best SH content we’ve gotten in years much better then Ascension imo
@@Jay3up Angela's a teenager, actually. 19, which is around the same age Anita seems to be, what with the talk of going to college and such.
Honestly I have no idea how I did the last chase sequence in one go. That was a rough 3 minutes of running around blind
@@beardalaxy yeah only other time we’ve gotten a teenager going through something like this was Heather but her circumstances were unique with her being the other half of Alessa
Silent Hill : Life is strange.
its getting hella silent in here.🤣
Oh, look, it's a Saints Row reboot character.
New jurassic park game also has this Mia Khalifa clone funny enough
@@TheUltimateHacker007oh my gosh you’re right!! It’s like Mia stopped doing porn and then became the character model for a bunch of cringey games 😂😂😂
Silent Hill: The Short Trauma
Bro ty for the uploads nice to see you here
@@IceDeBlueberry Thanks.
For the love of Kojima, Silent Hill is not about mental illness. Silent Hill is about the consequences of our actions, the responsibility to face ourselves in spite of the terror.
This direction is absolutely terrible. The developers were each microwaved as children.
That was only SH2 though. SH1 and SH3 had nothing to do with consequences but rather fear.
And sexy zombie nurses
Not really though. All original silent hills but the second where about a satanic cult harvesting the power of the town itself to bring their eldrich god to life
@StriderShadow 1 and 3 was more to do with a cult, but yeah, the fear was there throughout the original trilogy.
Isnt that what happened here she was guilty because she pushed Maya to kill herself
I felt it was made by some good developers, that had the mission to try and make it 'relatable' for a new generation of silent hill fans, hence it also being free. They wanted to try and get zoomers onboard with silent hill. However, the chase sequences were awful and the story had some straight up laughable and cringey moments. It was bad, but at least you could feel like it had that Japanese silent hill feel to it.
Spoilers - But I fucking lol'd hard when the MC was saying they was losing followers on social media, and then a few minutes later proceeded to jump off the roof.
I think that's a good idea. Silent hill has some extreme traun that's still related with a lot if people in its underlying themes. Updating that for the moder audience is good. The issue with newer SH games has always really been game play. Need to be less horro and more survival horror.
@@outlaw451no. SH isn’t meant for a zoomer teenage audience.
SH is a psychological horror game. This game is shit and there’s a reason it’s free.
@@cdajah6920 If you don't ever start trying to reach out to a younger audience, your series dies with the older generation. Psychological horror isn't limited to an age demographic, this game just has bad writing.
@@cdajah6920i promise you many teenagers can comprehend more than you’ve ever been able to😭
I do not feel that it was made by some good developers.
Shld be called "Silent Hill X: The Twittering"
More like The Shittering. They cut down Silent Hills to do this wet shit and a remake? Devs nowadays really struggle to create.
Original Silent Hill is to SH: The Short Message... what Bram Stoker’s Dracula is to Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. But Silent Hill Ascension is the Count Chocula toy you have to buy 1000 boxes of cereal, to even enter for a chance to win... and then realize it’s just a digital toy.
The writing seems partly disjointed and very obvious. I guess symbolism is lost to modern writers. They had to explain the thing with the cherry blossoms a few times, once would have been enough to get the symbolism down though.
Crazy amount of Life is Strange DNA in this Silent Hill game.
The game perfectly captures how cringy gen-z is. I say therefore is the game a winner!
you are not him
The idea is interesting; how would the power of silent hill adapt to the modern social media covered world, but the execution isn't quite there, it's too generic.
I think you're totally right about the silent hill phenomenon being an issue, it basically means you have "silent hill" wherever you like. It destroys the allure of that town, the significance of people flocking there through some weird ritualistic cult magic feeding off people with traumatically damaged brains.
For me, I'd say it's worse than that again. Be kinda scientifically explaining the silent hill phenomenon they're basically completely killing the mystique and shrouded allure of what it is that's really going on when people go to silent hill and are seeing weird stuff that's actually all part of their minds. In the first 4 Silent Hill games the hinting of that was enough for fans to get an impression that that was going on, but the specifics were vague enough such that you wouldn't be able to explain the "rules" of how it all worked. And this sort of explanation/writing sorta throws all that away. It favours lore-dumping (for want of a better phrase) at the expense of what made Silent Hill so special.
That's my biggest concern. The accusation of woke that might get thrown its way is totally vapid and meaningless, I'm not completely against having silent hill games take place in different locations assuming you could legitimately tie it to the underlying supernatural cult magic, and even somewhat generic themes wouldn't bother me too much if there was subtle/david lynchian style dialogue or story telling.
I am very worried that this franchise is gonna die pretty much as soon as it's been revitalised in this very strange attempt by konami.
This very strange move Konami is making with the multiple Silent Hill projects reminds me of something 2011-ish anyway the Silent Hill phenomenon is just as vapid and meaningless as every other attempt to boil down this once special and unique series for the one size fits all mass market appeal. Honestly to trust Konami after all they have done to this franchise is mind boggling.
The psychologists note explaining the fog is BRUTAL. its like "Let me explain the meaning of the visual device they used 25 years ago"
It's ok. But is not an industry changer.
The problem is that Silent Hill have been the horror "industry changers", not just "ok games".
The have been the top side by side with REs, creating the way to follow in other horror games.
Konami have it really hard with the saga, just with a name and an "ok game" is not enough.
Maybe they're driving the name into the ground so in 5 years they can make a mid game and ppl will applaud them
* scary/chase scene starts
I know (I know), I know (I know)
There's something I've forgotten
Like a time (a time), a place (a place)
A ooppss wrong game
Is this the song ive been looking from anywhere ? Starts with G and end to ... 5?
This song starts with W and ends with E@@karstafarao1281
No matter what justifications you could come up with for why you might actually like this game, at the end of the day it's just not Silent Hill and that much you can't argue with.
This isn't Silent Hill.
This is Life is Strange with Silent Hill inspired segments.
PS: I don't give a sh** if it's free. They slapped "Silent Hill" in the title, they willingly opened it up for comparison to the original and given we haven't had a decent title since Silent Hill 4 over 20 years ago, I'm NOT inclined to be merciful. Stop making FAN FICTION and calling it a "Silent Hill" game, then we'll talk.
What blows my mind is that Yamoaka and Ito both worked on this. It makes me wonder if A. they were highly encouraged by Konami to go with this kind of story-telling or B. they've succumbed to "we must talk about the current thing". Because, they are very talented people. but everyone misses a shot from time to time. It's just disappointing seeing their names added to this, and some SH fans will claim that we should love this game because of that.
The monster design was beautiful to be fair.
I will say that this is definitely the best SH content we’ve gotten in years definitely better than Ascension. I will agree that this game does feel like Life is Strange: SH
@@szechuon6971 Yeah Ito and Yamaoka we're important to the original games that's without dispute but without Hiroyuki Owaku narrative wise it wouldn't make a difference. They both did their job for this game though the monster looks good and the music was on point can't really say more than that. Whoever wrote this and came up with the concept for it never worked on the original games that much is obvious.
The fact that they had a suicide warning to play a Silent Hill game just goes to show the direction Konami is going. This is a very sensitive subject, and it makes me wonder if a team of women even worked on this closely or the thought of how women should feel, I am a huge silent hill fan, but this doesnt do it for me. it is not a silent hill game. The writing is terrible, boring and generic.
With all due respect, what does "being a woman" has to do in direct line with "suicide" ?
Also, the director is a girl
The game will cause alot of suicides for sure, they had to warn you may become one of them
Not only is there a suicide warning, but it's a suicide warning that shows up a total of 5 times in your playing experience. With how the story actually treats the subject matter, it just reeks of disingenuousness. It's like when RUclipsrs were all shilling out BetterHelp. Nobody looks at these warnings and such and actually thinks the people who wrote them want to help them, they're just doing it so that they can say they did something and feel good about themselves at the end of the day. It's just cheap, like getting a Valentine's Day card from the office at school because nobody got you one.
Silent Hill 2 had no warning at all, crazy enough. Suicide, sexual abuse, murder, the whole gamut. People don't really complain about it though, do they? If anything, I've heard loads of people saying that SH2 is a bit of a cozy game for them because of the way it handles everything it does. I feel that way too.
@@beardalaxy jesus are you okay? Y'all complain even about warnings now? 🤣🤣🤣
@@xarityfan4370 yes. the warning being there is cheap to begin with. the warning being repeated several times is patronizing.
Thing is I've played quite a few "good silent hill games" that weren't called Silent Hill so it obviously can be done but it just seems like developer's brains turn to jelly when the SH name is introduced and they churn out something that misses the mark.
What games are these? 🙂
@@ab-gaillost in vivo
@@ab-gail Signalis and Tormented Souls are the two most recent ones I've played. Honourable mention goes to Song of Horror as well even though it's not quite in the same vein. There's others too which don't spring to my mind right now but I've definitely played games recently that felt like they captured the feel and mystique of peak SH games.
what happened to build up or subtlety man
It's not woke. Just lazily done and with zero creative risks taken. They tried. Just not very hard. Not saying this as a purist. But like bawk said. We've seen hundreds of games that follow the same formula.
Anyone who says this is woke does not know the definition of the word. Bad writing does not automatically equal woke.
If you noticed there are several documents and books about the witch and the Silent Hill effect, this is actually the lore for tied in upcoming Silent Hill f and we got a tease on what f is gonna be:
- Apparently the Witch is a Japanese woman who haunted a town in German and I think there is a witch hunt happened and the witch was gone. However, this was in the past and I had a theory, the curse of that witch remained happened till the modern day which later on linked to the Silent Hill which we knew from several games, so technically... I think this explained the original of the witch hunt, the cult and most likely the name "Lisa" as an entity of several Silent Hill games including PT (except for 4, 4 remained to be on something else)
- let just friendly reminder: the guy creator of the horror visual novel game: Higurashi had a cult theme in it, so of course, you can already tell what Silent Hill f is gonna be - **we are gonna deal with Japanese witches and cult** (so technically they are doing Fatal Frame route but slapping Silent Hill title card)
- Short Message is technically served as either a prologue to Silent Hill f or epilogue depends on the setting in Silent Hill f was
Yeah that’s what I thought too ! There’s a files where we learn that maya family where here when her Japanese grandmother moved out in Germany in the 30s , I don’t know but I think maya is the little daughter of the witch . It’s just a theory
Konami doesn't get silent hill
silent hill? cringe hill? zoomer hill? silent hillz?
I feel like whoever wrote this really tried their best to create a new type of silent hill for the youth, mostly on the damage social network does to today's generations, but either they didn't know how to put it in a videogame or they don't personally have suffered from it so the message is not properly conveyed, and with the writing so on the nose, with even the hotline message right after the scene she jumps, it just doesn't work AT ALL.
That being said, I can bet a pretty buck there definitely is a place for silent hill for younger players, otherwise life is strange wouldn't have been popular.
Life is strange was so fuckin garbage tho. The reason it was probably loved at the time was because of narcissistic tumbler females in love with the garbage characters like chloe.
In order to be anywhere near relatable to modern-day audiences/ my generation. You need to make your characters unbelievably insufferable to deal with.
Zoomer Hill: The Twittering
I haven’t finished it yet, but so far I think it’s just okay. It has some good and some bad. My biggest gripes are that it’s very over-the-top with its message. It feels very forced and phoned in at times, to the point that it’s almost comical. It lacks any subtlety. The chase sequences are okay. They can be tense and anxiety-inducing, but I hate how there is no clear indication on where to go. I feel like I’m just running around aimlessly hoping I go in the right direction. It’s a little frustrating.
Yeah SH was at its best when it’s being subtle not beating you over the head with the message
Now i see why Bawk wears the hat always, he been hiding that immaculate hair all this time
Gz welcome to club. Thats why all insecure guys does that. Id be proud about it but some might just want to hide it, people are different thats good ! ❤🎉😊
@@karstafarao1281 And Bawk said he doesn't care about bullies or mean people, but curiously still uses the hat.. he clearly gives a shit.
Wearing a hat indoors is a big no no.
@@karstafarao1281 not necessarily. I know folks wear hats just because they love to wear hat. Why does it have to be insecure thing?
I booted it up for like 20 minutes and just couldn’t do it. Walking around listening to the character talk nonstop about everything I was seeing was impossible to get through for me. Plus everything being spelled out and incredibly on the nose just made it uninteresting. Still cool that they put out a free game though.
You don't like having story themes ham-fisting everything to you?
I agree. It’s very over-the-top with its message. It feels very forced and phoned in at times, to the point that it’s almost comical. It lacks any subtlety. A rule in writing is to trust your audience. Don’t just spoon feed everything to them because you assume they can’t figure things out for themselves. Trust them to piece things together on their own. This game completely ignores that rule.
Some of us are blind and stupid so it's cool the protagonist says everything that comes to her mind
Women be shopping saved the day
haha teen angst go brrrrrrrrr Konami catering to the new era that doesn't understand subtly and needs everything pointed out to them in a pop up book
Ehh, the real-life Bawk neighbour who just keeps standing at his door is the scariest part of this whole vid.
Silent hill gets some voice acting flak, and rightfully so in some cases (James sounds like a dork), but my god she sounds like she's permanently on the brink of having a winge. Two more big criticisms:
- Horror games need to stop making the only solution running, situations you can run from might scare you, but absolute nightmares are always the ones you're forced to engage with even when you want to run.
- New writers miss this but having characters react perfectly realistically minute to minute and monologue in a bad setting doesn't work well in games (e.x. her annoying cry running, narrating every single thing she sees). It's an interactive medium, when you describe everything in detail, and also tell the user how their character feels they're just going to mentally engage with the situations less.
SH 2 worked partly because they let the player slowly realize that James is completely insane and that the other characters, though also insane, are completely right about him. At first you think he's ignoring the monsters because of love and because it's a video game, but as it goes on you start to see more and more that he's very suicidal and so burnt out that hell itself struggles to make itself more unappealing then another minute of normal life. Even if the game was just the intro scene and maybe 1 or 2 more scenes with dialogue to reaffirm he was in SH for Mary, they did a good enough job with the interactive story telling that what I described would still be perfectly conveyed, we'd only be missing why that feeling makes sense for him.
After SH4 the next game to pick up that mantle, of trust in the player to engage with the story, wasn't SH homecoming or the PSP crap, it was dark souls (though they took it in a very different direction).
i swear the feeling when you hold the controller with the sounds and vibrations, it's so good.
If they just went on with silent hill PT it would be the succes they would needed.
Oh cool, Tara Gilesbie made a Silent Hill game! She's come a long way since "My Immortal"!
I would love this concept executed well in a proper Silent Hill title. The execution of the story lacks any subtlety.
the best part of this game is they brought back Ito to design the monster
I do like the modernisation for today in here like the phone and the technological distortion as the silent hill transition, like the rain in downpour, sirens in others etc
maybe true survival horror was just twitter
silent hill went from facing your inner demons to you're now a teenager with emo angst. Konami is pathetic. I turned this shit off when we first see her and her bangs are UNDER her glasses. The devs didn't givea shit about this so neither do I.
Silent Hill was never about facing your inner demons. That was 2 and James wasn't even really facing his demons for the most part. Silent Hill isn't there to help or aid you discover yourself, it just wants to kill you.
@@tanukismokingweed really? I always saw SH as a weird therapist making you face what you’ve done and only letting you go once you finally accept whatever truth or action you’ve done the town itself does release you once you come to terms with whatever it is that you’ve done.
@@tanukismokingweed What the fuck are you even talking about. If it wanted to kill you it'd have immediately killed James the moment he got out of his car. It never killed Angela outright either and lets not forger Laura just walking around the town never getting hurt or even scraped on the knees. AN if Silent HIll wasn't about facing your inner demons there'd be no point in Maria as a 'entitiy,' at all.
@@tanukismokingweed Yes the facing your inner demons was a more prominent theme in SH2. 1 and 3 was about a cult trying to summon a false god that believed the horrors they saw and unleashed was paradise. But the town itself was super natural and did torment its visitors with their pasts. It didn't outright kill them at times. The town drove people insane as well and people just went "missing".
@@Jay3up Only in two as the influence of the cult had left the town and the sacred grounds around it haunted by it's twisted past still if James hadn't visited the town previously would it have still brought him there? I guess when you consider that James is retracing his steps (albeit in a typical Silent Hill manner)from when he was there with is wife he now counts as part of it's past. Eh just something to think about :)
When people need help like that friends usually don’t listen or try to help, they expect the person to get professional help. Then when they do off themselves the people are like, they should have come to me I would have helped them
I've had very close friends immediately jump to telling me I should get professional help for some things, despite me telling them that professional help hasn't helped me much in the past and I don't think it would now. I think it's been sort of beaten into people's brains that a psychiatrist/therapist will actually heal you of whatever ails your emotions, but that's really not true.
@@beardalaxy "that a psychiatrist/therapist will actually heal you"
Well, that's the problem. A therapist isn't going to heal you, they will try and help you work through your issues. The "healing" is what you'll ultimately have to do yourself. Of course, you'll also have to find the right therapist and the right therapy for you.
There's no such thing as professional help, it's a scheme.
Millennial writing. 😂😂😂
Eh, I wouldn’t really consider this millennial writing. I’ve seen way worse.
this looks like a game Bloober Team should have made.
The chasing sequence 100% feels like straight from their blair witch game
I was thinking that too. It’s basically a walking simulator, which is pretty much what Bloober Team is known for.
@@GoldenHeartNecklace it reminded me of outlast 2 where you're running away from the weird freaky dude underground in the water area. gotta' loop him around and stuff. really uninspired and unfun gameplay. not to mention it's got the slender notes in it, which people have been criticizing for years now whenever it shows up in a horror game xD
@@beardalaxyI had that part down so cold where he (she?) doesn’t even see me. The whole sequence is about a minute. This game just looks shit. Outlast Trials hopefully is solid
@@Budd631 i haven't seen anything from trials, but i wasn't a fan of outlast 2 unfortunately. really liked the first game and whistleblower though, got really good at them and they're fun to play.
23:05 "Do whatever the fuck you want to do, Just don't get mad at the people doing whatever the fuck they want to do."
This is an wonderful mantra to live by Bawk, well said!
Like many modern AAA games, this game is suffering from GenZ crap trying to be hip fellow kids with social media so relatable
The second section took me an insane amount of attempts to escape!
I loved this so much. The ending brought me to tears. As someone who was pulled back from the edge at the last moment, this felt all too familiar.
games should be games and movies movies i don’t like this new movement to intertwine the two so seamlessly you lose the quality in both as separate entities i feel. this got me worried for that new kojima project where he says he is mixing cinema with gaming 😬
Kojima has become a hack tbh. Look at death stranding. When this guy doesn't have any competent developers or publishers to constrain him and remind him that a video game needs to be a VIDEO GAME, he ends up just making everything a cutscene simulator.
Worst of all he's collabing with the dude who made the get out and nope movies.... shit is gon be woke af
holy shit you made this playthrough, thank you for being you lol
the streamer simulator bit was 10/10
layers of fear gameplay + life is strange story tropes + millennial writing = generic modern game. at least its free
I want to know why the powers of SH are affecting some random town in Germany? Like in 4 it was Walter’s rituals and homecoming had the whole offshoot of the original cult thing. Sooo now anyone that’s going through a rough time can end up in a SH type place?? I thought the whole point was that SH called those with guilty consciences to it
In Ascension is stretches all the way to Norway. Man that quiet little resort town sure gets around i guess it has a lot of people to play therapist for(If Konami have their way)
My guess is its specifically the building from the game that is effected, the main character has a guilty conscience because she believes Mayas suicide is her fault and she receives a text from Maya asking her to come to the villa.
@@Crispierbug yes but why? Why is this random building in some quiet town in Germany affected by the powers of SH? SH last I checked is located in USA Maine
@@Gabbagool86 never watched ascension I knew it was going to be a train wreck. Do they explain why the powers of SH are affecting some place in Norway?
@@Jay3up Not in game no but the CEO of Ascension was on camera talking and all but confirming the idea of the Silent Hill Phenomenon being the link. A state of mind in which the afflicted person see's a dense Fog even on clear days as they drift closer to unreality. I dunno about you but i see a future where the supernatural elements involving the cult and it's dark God that connected all the original four games will be minimized if not completely written out in favor of well Silent Hill 2's approach. Silent Hill can pretty much happen anywhere as it is only a state of mind now i guess.
the people that "love" SH2 and then say shit like since when is SH about trauma make me question where they left their brain.
This video thumbnail had me messed up
the short message just makes me throw all of my expectations for metal gear solid delta
step one delete all social media step two go outside an touch grass
Kinda mid ngl, the voice acting feels off on Maya and the mom's voice is kind of awkward. I loved how the older Silent Hill's were more subtle with it's themes and message. As for the message here, it was definitely good and all but, it felt a bit too drawn out and overexplained. Glad they give the player suicide hotline resources too in case someone is strugging. The monster at first was genuinely creepy/scary but annoying towards the end imo. Overall it's an ok experience and great it's free at least.
A lot of the stuff present in this game is just lost to the audience.I suffered though a lot of abuse and this did hit hard... It is very loud...very oppressive being in tha - so the presentation is very accurate. But i think the swears would have worked better if they used german instead of english.
btw: Lockers are an american thing. I have never seen these in german schools xd so that broke the immersion a bit, a lot of stylistic elements are very american..but well, this is some kind of different universe..so.
You know what's weird? This game has an effect on some people, especially those streaming, who brought up trauma and serious stuff in their life. I was streaming this and vented about my traumas and my severe GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and I too felt like I could relate with the character in this game. It's a below average game, but it is cathartic to hear and be heard too.
That looks more like life is strange actually
Good mesange I'm an old fuck mabe this some day means as much as the classics meant to me to my daughter. They need to tunne it a lot but maybe it works... Bawk makes it 1000 times more wachable
35 minutes in and wow... the story is so lame...
Like... I've gone through rough times and dealt with this kind of thought... but... god...
Has Bawk left his house since the beginning of 2019? I haven't left my house since watching his videos of Re2 Remake speedrunning back in January, 2019. I live in that area from the intro in The Shining movie, so we lock ourselves up like vampires and spend eternity watching bawkbasoup to stay warm and mentally sane. You want a horror game experience? Try walking around the woods at night around here. Can somebody come out here and pick me up at 2:00 AM? Bawk...? Anyone...?
i just downloaded and played this and loved it and ive played every silent hill since part 2 came out wen i was 11
RE7 is proven to not have been a PT clone.
We really silent hilled real hard for this one
Sounds like a song from Silent Hill...
whoever said Kettenstadt was Italian, my god haha! It's German! pronounced more like: "sh-tart"
As a boomer seeing SoMe for the cancer it is has always been clear as day, but for Gen-Z - they've practically born and grown in the midst of it. So for them seeing some other way to live outside of the validation/status game it is isn't as simple. So imo any virtual door kicking/ window breaking so to speak at least gives them a chance.
the eyeballs remind me of The Evil Within 2 The photographer guy had pics of eyes and the eye in the sky thing...
This game made me see a pattern in social media and depression
Yup, social media made my cousin a radicalized lgbtqiao+ supporter.
You can't even have a normal conversation with her without her accusing you of being some kind of "phobe".
Yeah, without this game, I would have never known about the real harm social media can cause
(/s just in case, bc lord no one knows the difference anymore).

Got some Cry of Fear vibes from this game actually.
Silent Hill was Team Silent and their dedication and love for the first 3 games...then the game should've RIP...but people who didn't even touched the game are wanting and hyping bc the fraud that was P.T.
13 silent hills
Silent hill smartphone edition lezgoooo
Ok so did everyone wake up to a new silent hill game or just me???
Oh wow, big meanies on internet made girl sad and insucure? Oh I quake in my boots XD. As a silent hill game it fails, like I get the message and all that regardless and all. Bullies suck, thats a fact. But if this is the direction they're gonna go for new silent hill it wont sell like the old games. Screw modern audiances, stick to what made it good...
Classic silent hill: Discover insecurities and faults of your character as they face fitting monsters representing their flaws. Modern silent hill: You stinky and suck >:( be depressed
Didn't mind the game. It was good for being free. But I've never been a fan of chasing sequences ever and that last one definitely ruined it for me and ended up just shutting it off.
Thank goodness for this game or I would have NEVER EVER EVER understood the dangers of social media. This game will surely save lives. 🙄
To me is really shocking to imagine the harassement Bawk gets. He is such a nice, calm guy, surely doesen't deserve it.
This does beat you in the face with the message but it does feel more silent hill than we have gotten in years. I agree we need that sudlty but it wasn’t bad. I saw nothing really woke about this. Losing a friend or loved one is hard. Harder for some than others but hard none the less.
People who try to say this is woke don’t know the meaning of the word.
This is definitely not “woke”
It’s trying to tackle more modern issues but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically woke
@@Jay3up It's tackling modern issues in a profoundly western way . Shame the topic wasn't treat with more subtlety and ambiguity. I mean there are tons of games like this free fan made games that at least try to hide the message and twist until into the game. But yeah it isn't woke it's just badly written.
@@Gabbagool86 yeah it’s basically what you said it’s just a western take on a modern issue which means it’s gonna lack subtlety and just beat you over the head with the message.
This Life is Strange + Outlast offspring sucked as a demo. I would like it more if I was Gen-Z and had 6 pronouns attached to me lol.
Why is this called "Silent Hill"? And why tf Silent Hill F is set in Japan's 1960s? Don't they know Silent Hill is a small american town in the state of Maine?
yeah, this one doesnt do it for me.
i know its free but........
i dont think any silent hill fan can really relate to the story.
a schoolgirl, bullys, mobile phones, social media..............
this is clearely made for young audience, which i PERSONALY think, shouldnt be a a thing in a silent hill frenchise.
atleast not with a heavy focus like that.
heather was also a schoolgirl and bullied, but everything about her, the story and the setting was made for adult audience.
i donno.......... this game feels like one of these awful movies about internet bullies.
its free and might be relatable for like 12-15 year olds but it certainly doesnt feel like a silent hill game.
I personally think teens would relate to sh 2 and 3 or even shattered Memories a lot more than this. SH1 isn't something you relate to as much as it is an interesting story. Maybe if you're a parent I guess?
Actually, the teens I know that would be into something like silent hill in the first place barely use their phones at all except to look at memes.
At 21:59 wtf was that scream i never heard or noticed that when i played and happens again abit later
Unbelievably yet hilariously bad writing but the only reason I won't give it a 0 is because I really liked the design for the monster and the chaser segments
I couldn't finish the game. It's a walking simulator and the only part that has any "gameplay" is when you're being chased by that thing and those parts are just annoying and exactly the same each time. It's a free game though so fair enough
Smoking on the zaza seen jeffa and got bazonga’d nothing like self induced trauma
I Like this silent hill? Some of the stuff wasn’t up to par with the usual silent hill we are used to but at the same time it’s been years since we got a new entry I think Konami is trying to find their own way of making games again .
Not even ten minutes into the game and I cringed myself to oblivion. This series is dead, is it?
Life Is Strange ahh dialogue 💀 (And I like those games)
Is this supposed to be silent hill f? Genuine question does anyone know?
Doubt it since this isn't based in Japan, which f seemed like in the reveal.
no, it's not. but it does seem to contain thematic elements they're setting up for F.
The only thing i feel excited about is Silent Hill F
I like this Bawk guy, he should make more videos.
