DESCRIPTION
Silent Hill 4: The Room tells a story as surreal as it is disturbing. Players take the first-person role of an unfortunate man named Henry Townsend, but unlike earlier games in the survival-horror series, they will not explore a strange rural area or deserted small town. Instead, they will find themselves completely trapped in Henry's small apartment. After days alone, confined, Henry starts to notice strange holes — apparent breeches in time and space — that have begun to appear in his bathroom. Is he just going stir-crazy, or are these weird gaps really his only hope of escape?
Passing through these supernatural portals transports Henry to strange, dangerous places, where players guide him from a third-person perspective to accommodate the more action-oriented challenges he'll face. He'll also face a number of puzzles, intended to challenge even veterans of the earlier Silent Hill adventures. Like its predecessors, however, The Room was designed to present a truly disturbing atmosphere, using subtle inconsistencies and a slowly building tension, instead of just sudden shocks and cheap scares, to chill its players to the bone. ~ T.J.

“The first Silent Hill game that actually disappointed me. The game had some great ideas, but its execution on many of them was poor at best. With half of the game in the company of another character that you must babysit, the feeling of fear was replaced by anger and frustration as they would get in your way, get hung up on the world geometry, or get themselves killed, resulting in a game over far too often. The room itself was an interesting idea but navigating it in a first-person view was incredibly awkward.”

“SH4 was a very different game from it's other predecessors. The game was alright but wasn't the best in the series yet it still had that claustrophobic feel. The soundtrack was pretty alright. ”

“I think on this one, the idea was better than the execution. You're stuck in your room, and you can only escape to hellish places through a hole in the wall...sounds like my childhood.”
