Seventeen years after the events of the first game, the infant the Incubator handed to Harry Mason at its end — Heather Mason — has grown into a teenage girl, raised by Harry as his own daughter. One ordinary day, while out shopping, Heather is abruptly wrenched into a strange alternate reality steeped in demonic imagery and twisted monsters. Footsteps echo, grotesque creatures lunge at her, and she is forced to fight for her life — soon realizing that the nightmare closing in around her is bound up with her own past. As she explores the eerie, fog-bound town of Silent Hill, Heather must find a way to escape.
