Silent Hill 4: The Room

Silent Hill 4: The Room

Released2004
Silent Hill 4: The Room is the fourth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series. The game is similar to the past entries in terms of atmosphere, never letting the player know what's behind the next corner or down the street. Aside from the traditional third-person-view, there is now a first-person mode which is used to control the main character when he is in his apartment. Objects that can be interacted with are highlighted by eyeball icons. The previous games in the series have mostly been about exploring the town and solving puzzles, but this installment has much more combat involved. There are more enemies in a given area, spread in cramped spaces. The main character mostly uses a standard Silent Hill arsenal of weapons, such as the steel pipe, pistol and a golf club.

About This Game

Henry Townshend lives in South Ashfield, a city about half a day's drive from Silent Hill, content in his apartment — Room 302 — at South Ashfield Heights. Then one day he finds himself mysteriously locked inside it. Plagued by strange, nightmarish dreams, Henry cannot escape: the windows will not open, and his front door has been chained shut from the inside. No one can hear him, not even people standing right outside, no matter how hard he pounds and cries for help. As he searches the apartment for answers, he spots a gaping hole in his bathroom wall — and climbing through it, he discovers a portal that leads him into other, alternate dimensions.
