Well, in any case, I beat it. What an awesome ending. I was confused by what was actually going on in the therapy sessions. I'll probably answer him differently now that I know the twist.
I did some reading up on the original game to compare it. This game kinda pulls a "Star Trek" to explain why this game doesn't follow the original very closely.

Basically, Harry dies in the car crash in the beginning. Cheryl clings onto the idea that he survived. You're Cheryl in the therapy sessions, and the stuff you see Harry go through is based on your personality so that the whole sequence is Cheryl's nightmare, which is why different characters look and act differently. The game ends with Cheryl accepting his death after "Harry" walks in during the end of the session, followed by different video footage of the real Harry depending on the ending you get. |
Overall, a really good game. I didn't mind the lack of ass combat that horror games like to cram in. Yea, they're bad for a reason, but here you're running from the monsters for a reason. As someone with no expectations on what a Silent Hill game "should" be, I enjoyed it a lot.
