I Guess It's Time To Roll The Credits.
I've finished Silent Hill 3! A handful of confused notes on the ending below the cut:
Being able to find some of the notes Harry made on the save point notepads is a great touch.
It's hilarious to me that Claudia stabs Vincent in front of Heather and Heather barely reacts. She just doesn't give a shit.
She does have mixed feelings on examining his corpse, though. 'Vincent's dead. I hated him too, but it doesn't mean this makes me happy. Why couldn't I have stopped Claudia...?'
I wasn't doing anything and then I gave birth to God and died! How do I prevent that?
Did I just abort God?
DID CLAUDIA JUST PICK UP THE GOD FOETUS AND EAT IT?
CLAUDIA, YOU CANNOT GET GOD INTO YOUR WOMB THAT WAY; YOU ARE PUTTING HER INTO ENTIRELY THE WRONG ORIFICE
Where did Vincent's corpse go? Did Claudia eat him, too? I have so many questions.
Heather breaking down once everything's over hit me right in the heart. Poor girl; she really hasn't had time to grieve.
Heather, don't threaten Douglas with a knife! That's a terrible joke!
I'm glad Sad Detective survived the game! It was nice to have a character who genuinely seemed to be on Heather's side.
I don't know where Heather's going to go now, but I sort of hope Douglas takes her in. She needs a parental figure and he needs someone.
Douglas reminds me a fair bit of Hank Anderson from Detroit: Become Human, actually; they're both lonely, self-loathing detectives who've lost a son and end up forming a connection to their respective protagonists. I'm not sure what to do with that similarity. 'Get them to make out' doesn't seem like the right answer.
And that's Silent Hill 3! On the Silent Hill confusion scale, it is less confusing than the original Silent Hill but more confusing than Silent Hill 2.
I really enjoyed Heather as a protagonist. She's fun in a way Harry and James aren't, and there's a lot of personality in her observations when she examines things. I can understand why Silent Hill 2 couldn't really have that levity - the idea of James Sunderland wisecracking makes me shudder; that'd be awful - but it was a pleasant change in Silent Hill 3.
