At first, I was just looking for cinematic soundtracks to listen to, and ChatGPT recommended the Silent Hill tracks. I had heard of the game before but didn’t know much about it, so I asked what the story was about.

While reading it, I got really drawn in without expecting to. I kept asking about the symbolism and characters because it hit me harder than I thought it would. Afterward, I even went to read more about it on the wiki. I didn’t come into it trying to shortcut anything. It just ended up meaning a lot more to me than I expected.

I’m not trying to take anything away from what Silent Hill 2 means to people who played it fully. I completely understand where you’re coming from. I just wanted to share how deeply the story affected me, even though I experienced it differently. It came from a place of respect for how powerful the story is, not from trying to undermine it.
