About This Game

Harry Mason and his young daughter Cheryl are driving to their favorite vacation spot when, late at night, a figure lurches out of the darkness. Harry yanks the wheel in panic and the car skids off the road, knocking him unconscious. When he comes to some time later, Cheryl is gone. Climbing from the wreck, he stumbles toward the small, fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill in search of her.
