Silent Hill 4: The Room
Silent Hill 4: The Room is the fourth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, published by Konami and developed by Team Silent, a production group within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo. The game was released in Japan in June 2004 and in North America and Europe in September of the same year. Silent Hill 4 was released for the PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows, and the Xbox. A soundtrack release was also made at the same time.
Unlike the previous installments, which were set primarily in the town of Silent Hill, this game is set in the fictional town of South Ashfield, and is focused on the character of Henry Townshend attempting to escape from his locked-down apartment. He explores a series of supernatural worlds and finds himself in conflict with an undead serial killer.
Silent Hill 4 features an altered gameplay style with third-person navigation and plot elements taken from previous installments. Upon its release the game received a mixed critical reaction due to deviations from the original Silent Hill style.
Gameplay
Gameplay is centered on the protagonist Henry's apartment, which is shown through a first-person perspective and contains the only save point. The other levels of the game are reached through mysterious holes formed in the apartment's bathroom and eventually laundry room.[1][1][2] For the first half of the game the room will also heal the player.[2] In the second half of the game, the room becomes possessed by various hauntings that drain Henry's health.[3]
In the main levels of the game the player uses the usual third person perspective of the Silent Hill series.[1] Unlike other games the player only has a limited item inventory which can be managed by leaving unneeded items in a chest in Henry's room.[2] Silent Hill 4 emphasizes combat during gameplay, with a near-absence of complex puzzles in favor of simple item-seeking tasks.[1] In the second half of the game Henry is accompanied by his neighbor Eileen Galvin; Eileen cannot die while she is with Henry, although as she takes damage she succumbs to possession. The player can also equip Eileen with a weapon to have her join Henry in combat.[4] The damage Eileen takes in the game determines whether or not she dies during the final boss fight, directly affecting the ending achieved
