Hell If I Know.

Once again, Tem is forcing me to play a Silent Hill game so she can laugh at my distress. This time it's Silent Hill 3!

Heather's fun. Her observations have a lot more personality than Harry's or James's. I like that she can't be bothered to do anything that takes effort and she wanders through hell going 'ugh, all this blood and rust is so gross.'

It's so strange to have a Silent Hill protagonist who actually reacts to things! She comments when things are weird! This is unprecedented!

This is a normal non-Silent-Hill shopping centre; why does it have so many broken locks rendering doors inoperable?

It's interesting to see an attempt to depict a normal environment in a Silent Hill game.

At one point, a noise in a dark clothes shop freaked me out and then the light of my torch caught a mannequin and it nearly stopped my heart. I'm so bad with horror!

The enemies seem to take a lot of bullets to take down, even on Easy. I'm running away most of the time, rather than fighting, whereas in Silent Hill 2 I'll clear out areas to make them safe.

Heather, you're not in Silent Hill any more. You're in a normal subway. Put away your gun. Just carry a steel pipe, like a normal person.

I read the newspaper article about the guy who'd been hit by a train and concluded 'well, obviously the way to progress is to get hit by the same train'. Spoiler: the correct course of action was not to be hit by a train.

AND THEN I WENT 'WHAT'S THROUGH THIS DOOR ON THE TRAIN?' AND HEATHER LEAPT OFF THE BACK OF THE TRAIN AND DIED. Heather, you do not have a shred of self-preservation instinct. Once you see there's no more train in that direction, you are supposed to stop going in that direction.

I am incredibly bad at this game.
