Silent Hill (video Game)
is a 1999 survival horror game developed by Team Silent and published by Konami. The first installment in the video game series ''Silent Hill'', the game was released from February to July, originally for the PlayStation. ''Silent Hill'' uses a third-person view, with real-time rendering of 3D environments.

The game follows Harry Mason as he searches for his missing adopted daughter in the eponymous fictional American town of Silent Hill; stumbling upon a cult conducting a ritual to revive a deity it worships, he discovers her true origin. Five game endings are possible, depending on actions taken by the player, including one joke ending. ''Silent Hill'' received positive reviews from critics on its release and was c ...
