Introduction
The game starts with the main character, Harry Mason, waking up in his Jeep. His Jeep has crashed in the resort town of Silent Hill after swerving to avoid a mysterious apparition in the highway. As Harry looks to the passenger seat he notices that the door is open, it then becomes clear that his daughter, Cheryl, is missing. You now see a non-FMV movie sequence where Harry talks. A figure of somebody who resembles Cheryl can bee seen through the fog, but she quickly runs away. At this point you must follow the paths she takes until you reach an alleyway. Go through the gate at the end of the first alley and continue down the next alley until you reach another gate. As you progress down this alley it will become increasingly darker, Harry will then light a lighter to see. You will eventually see a wheelchair resting on its side, with the wheel slowly spinning, shortly followed by a hospital gurney that has a body covered by a sheet and flies buzzing around. The end of this path has a mutilated body strewn up on the metal fencing. Harry will comment on the body and then you will be attacked by some Mumblers (Claw Finger – UK) that appear from nowhere. All exits are now blocked and the only thing you can do is let the Mumblers kill you …
Cafe 5to2
We see Harry wake up in Cafe 5to2, a Police officer named Cybil Bennett then introduces herself. After a brief conversation Cybil gives a handgun to you. You can then examine the inside of the Cafe and pick up some useful items. In the top part, near the pinball machine, you can find the first save point, Map of Old Silent Hill, Flashlight and a Health Drink. At the opposite end you can find another Health Drink and the Kitchen Knife. When you have collected all of the items go into the menu screen and equip the Handgun, then make your way to the front door and a short scene will commence in which the Radio on the table top begins to make loud static noises. As Harry goes over to pick the radio up an Air Screamer will come crashing through the front window and attack you. Shoot it to the ground with the gun and use Harry’s stomp attack to finish it off. Pick up the radio and exit the Cafe.
