Cast as Harry Mason, you search across the haunted town of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for his missing daughter Cheryl. The game re-imagines the original Silent Hill, with a new depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice.
The game's story is presented through a series of scenes, including visits to a psychiatrist's office where you are asked personal questions about yourself and your past experiences. Your responses will change the game itself, altering characters and lines of dialog to create a more personally uncomfortable experience.
As you search for Cheryl, you will encounter objects and recordings that tell some of Silent Hill's history. The Wii Remote controls a flashlight in real-time, while Harry's cell phone accepts calls and messages from both the real and supernatural worlds. You can also use a camera function to uncover hidden ghosts and their messages.
