Silent Hill: Homecoming

Silent Hill: Homecoming - Alex Shepherd returns from the war to his hometown of Shepherd's Glen, but instead of home he finds desolation and the disappearance of his younger brother Joshua. Searches quickly reveal that the city is connected with a dark cult, which the locals prefer to remain silent about. The city looks deserted: people are hiding, shops are closed, and there is almost no one on the streets. The exploration takes place from a third person: alleys, abandoned houses, a hospital and dungeons open up as you progress. Creatures made from pieces of bodies roam the corridors, and the battle is fought with edged weapons and everything that comes to hand. The police hardly help: in the city everything has been decided by other people for a long time, and phone calls go unanswered. You have to fight carefully: blows take away your stamina, and misses are punished. Dodging and finishing off downed enemies become the basis of survival, and there is always little ammunition, so a pipe or an ax is more reliable than a revolver. Inventory is limited, so before each visit you have to decide what to take with you. The atmosphere is oppressive with silence and sounds: doors knock in houses, dampness emanates from basements, and messages remain on the walls. The outcome depends on how carefully the player collected the documents and what he expected from the hero. Weapons can be improved, and some items are used in riddles: somewhere you need a lantern, somewhere you need a crowbar for a jammed door. Opponents do not like light, so the turned on flashlight both helps and gives away the hero. The collected documents explain the history of the cult and the Shepard family's connection to local rituals. For those who love dark horrors about a city where each family has its own secret.
