I appreciate you using a natural speaking voice and not having a grating overly performative script-reading voice, you sound good 💙

Saving for later cus I've yet to play sh3 but I'm so glad it seems like an ACTUAL analysis and not a plot summary 😭😭😭😭😭

Also I love how Alessa is more of the main character than Harry is.
Harry is just the plot device. Sort of like the Cat from Stray.

This is one of the best silent hill analysis video ever!! I especially loved the one of silent hill 3 which is one of my personal favs!!!!

Whoa, you are the ONLY person on YouTube I’ve heard mention PresidentEvil’s gamefaq’s post while talking about SH. I haven’t thought about that in years, thanks for the reminder!

So happy you gave such a similar and good opinion on the leave ending that I have. In water being seen as the most canon/popular is like such a spit i the face to what silent hill 2 means to me, leave is genuinely the most poetic and beautiful endings in a game Ive ever seen.

Silent Hill 1 is still absolutely terrifying. I remember playing it when it came out as a cowardly 8 year old. I couldn’t make it past the opening cut scene.

This is one of the best SH analysis videos I've seen. You should have way more subs.

I'm only about 5 minutes in but I just had to comment about how relaxing your voice is. It's been a while since ive come across someone just, well, talking about these games. Usually they are these overly detailed retrospectives or performative voiced recaps or takedowns. I really love that it feels like you are just having a convo with us about the games. I think I'm subscribing lol. Looking forward to more from you.

Ooh new SH video. Recently replayed SH3 and FINALLY got the bad ending.

I am also currently replaying the SH2 Remake. Already unlocked three endings. Trying to get In Water now.
