Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a horror game that reimagines the classic Silent Hill story. You play as Harry Mason, searching for his missing daughter Cheryl in the haunted town of Silent Hill. The game features a unique depiction of Silent Hill's alter-dimension as a world of ice.
The gameplay involves navigating through the town while avoiding monsters. Unlike previous versions, there are no weapons available - you must run for your life when they attack. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, where you'll be asked personal questions about yourself and your past experiences.
The game's story changes based on your responses, altering characters and lines of dialog to make them more personally uncomfortable. As you search for Cheryl, you'll encounter objects and recordings that reveal some of Silent Hill's history. You can use the Wii Remote to control a flashlight aimed in real-time, take phone calls and messages from both the real and supernatural worlds, and use a camera function to uncover hidden ghosts.
