Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Walking in the corridor, James' inner monologue slowly appeared.

'I am weak. ’

'So, I need you. ’

'Someone needs to punish me for my sins. ’

'But now it's over...I know the truth...it's over. ’

Although he still doesn't understand what kind of place Silent Hill is, combined with the experiences of Ahn'Qiraj and Eddie, James now has a general understanding of all this.

In James' heart, his emotions and guilt have always been suppressed, allowing his subconscious to distort the fact of killing his wife into her death three years ago.

The triangle head is James' self-punishing character, and at the same time materializes in Silent Hill, a strange place with a world inside and outside.

Before that, James had been reluctant to face the truth.

So in the face of this self-punishing character, no matter how he shoots, there is no way he can kill Triangle Head.

At most, let him leave temporarily.

But now that he knew the truth, he didn't need them anymore.

Facing James' attack, the two triangular heads committed suicide with their spears.

After getting two red eggs from the killed Triangle Head, James entered a long corridor.

In the dark corridor, his and Mary's voices echoed.

That's a memory James doesn't want to echo.

Mary: 'What are you going to do? ’

James: 'I, I brought you flowers...'

Mary: 'Flowers? I don't like flowers, go home with you. ’

James: 'What did you say? ’

Mary: 'Look at me! I'm so sick! I don't deserve any flowers, I'm sick and medicine all day, I'm like a monster. What are you looking at, get out! Stay away from me, I'm just a waste, and I'm dying anyway, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after...'

'Why are you still here? Go away, get out, don't come back! ’

'James...wait...don't go...don't leave me, I didn't mean that, please James, say I'll be fine, say I won't die, help me...'

This is what Mary and James said when they were tortured by illness.

Under the torment of the disease, Mary's body deteriorated day by day, her appearance and her health were all destroyed by the disease.

This made her mental state extremely unstable, and she also vented all her negative emotions on James.

But when James left after venting, the remorse for James and the fear of death made Mary cry loudly for him to come back.

James did not know how many days he had experienced in such days, from suffering to finally being unbearable.

As James walked towards the depths of the dark corridor, the entire corridor began to change slowly, according to the darkness in James' heart.

The mottled bloodstains, as well as all kinds of filth, gave people a feeling of incomparable depression.

Crossing the corridor and walking up the long iron stairs, James came to the hotel's rooftop, where he finally met the man waiting for him.

It's just that James knows very well that this person is not Mary, although she is exactly the same as Mary now.

Whether it's the sound or the look.

But James knew that this person was Mary, not Mary.

'Maria? It's you...I don't need you...'

'what? You are joking? But you can have me...I'll always be yours, I'll never yell at you or make you feel bad, isn't that what you want? I'm not like Mary...how could you leave me? ’

Following the conversation between Maria and James, the next moment Maria transformed into a monster floating in the sky, her limbs were imprisoned on a metal bed, and there were steel needles inserted into her wrist and neck. , like a needle.

After playing here, Zhang Yi no longer had the fear he had before. Although this monster has a bit of magical nature, he is not helpless now.

He easily killed the monster incarnated by Maria with the shotgun in his hand, and even Zhang Yi felt that the Silent Hill combat system was a bit unpleasant. Compared with the infinite ammo shot of Chris at the end of "Resident Evil: The Village", It's a bit unpleasant!

But after a short period of emotion, his attention was attracted by the plot of the game.

Looking at Maria lying there transformed into a monster, it was as if he had traveled through time and space, and James seemed to have returned to the last time when Mary was on the hospital bed.

'Mary...forgive me'

Mary was lying on the hospital bed, her face was extremely pale and her expression was contorted with pain.

Mary shook her head gently: 'James...I said I want to die, I want to end this pain. ’

James sat there with his hands over his head and didn't even dare to look at Mary: 'That's why I did it, Mary...I can't watch you suffer, but that's not true, and you said you didn't want to die. The truth is, I hate you and I want to take my own life back...'

Mary interrupted James: 'James...if it's true, why are you so sad? ’

'James, please do one thing for me and live well. ’

Then Mary handed a letter in her hand to James.

The picture fell into darkness, and then turned into a cemetery.

Laura and James walked slowly towards the road outside Silent Hill.

The white fog that enveloped Silent Hill also seemed to slowly disperse.

Mary's voice was calm, reading the letter to James.

'In my intermittent dreams, I saw that town, Silent Hill. ’

'I feel how pathetic and ugly I am, lying here, waiting for you... Every day I look at the crack in the ceiling and the only thing I can think about is how unfair it all is...'

………………

'The doctor came today and he told me I could go home for a short time. ’

'It's not that I'm getting better. ’

'It just means, maybe this is my last chance. ’

'Every time you visit me, I can see how hard it is for you...I don't know if you hate me or pity me...or maybe I'm just sick of you...I'm so sick Feel sorry. ’

'When I first knew I was going to die, I just didn't want to accept that. ’

'I've been so angry all the time, I've lost my temper at everyone I love the most. ’

'Especially you James. So I can understand if you hate me. ’

'But I want you to understand that James I have always loved you. ’

………………

'I told the nurse to give you this letter after I die. ’

'That means, by the time you read this letter, I am dead. ’

'I can't ask you to remember me, but I can't accept that you forget me either. ’

'In the three years I've been sick...I'm so sorry for what I've done to you, to us...you've given me so much, and I haven't been able to give back a little. ’

'So I want you to live for yourself from now on, treat yourself well... James. ’

'You really make me happy. ’

In the last scene of leaving, the theme song "Overdose Delusion" echoed in Zhang Yi's ears.

Looking at James and Laura leaving, Zhang Yi's mood suddenly became very complicated at this moment.

There is no doubt that "Silent Hill" not only frightened him, but also moved him deeply.
