Anita, an 18-year-old girl, heads towards a group of abandoned buildings called the village where her friend Maya has summoned her. to meet her, but when she gets there, the girl loses consciousness, waking up in another room of the same building. The young woman does not remember how she got there or why her friend has summoned h

er to a place like that. Well, the building is practically in complete ruins. deteriorated full of rubble, remains of garbage and a lot of graffiti on her cell phone we can see the conversation with Maya who asks her to go to the villa to teach her something using her phone as the only source of light Anita will begin to move around the interior of the building in search of her friend, the game does not take place in the city of Silent Hill but in a German city called Ketten Stad, a place that p

eople consider cursed because due to the economic crisis and the recent covid-19 pandemic the place has gone bankrupt. There are no investors and the young people have left for other cities, thus decreasing the birth rate and increasing the suicide rate, becoming a place without hope or future, but the bad luck that enstad seems to be linked to an ancient legend And it is that in In the 1930s, a Japanese woman arrived in this city offering her services as a Seer. The woman known as The Witch of

the Far East claimed to predict the future through Tarot cards, thus influencing the economic development of the city, but in 1947 a huge The fire spread through their industrial parks and they lost most of their factories. The witch, who was hospitalized for an unknown illness, took her own life by jumping from the roof of the hospital, although many believe that it was really a witch hunt. The woman was murdered by the party. of the mayor who was affected by the presence of the witch and took

advantage of the fire to use it as a cover for the murder since after her death the party once again regained influence in the city. Since then the citizens have begun to believe that any streak Bad luck is the product of a witch's curse. At first, the character of Anita is presented to us as a lonely depressed girl with low self-esteem, self-hatred, thus showing a certain guilt for something she did or happened in the past, a terrible secret. that she hides and that not even she herself remembe

rs. While we investigate the building we will discover that Maya is a very well-known artist who calls herself Cherry Blossom who uses the walls of this same abandoned building to create her beautiful graffiti drawings that are characterized by showing girls surrounded by cherry blossoms Maya Explains to us in a flashback that her drawings represent girls overcoming their past traumas or at least their desire to do so and from their scars emerge these cherry blossoms which in Japanese culture sy

mbolize life and death. beauty and violence since the short life of this flower which only lasts 7 days from when it blooms does not serve as a reminder of how fleeting life is. Maya was trying to find out the origin of Anita's traumas probably in an attempt to help her. and encourage her to move forward, ignoring people's comments and making her feel proud of herself, but Anita finds no reason to feel proud and we hear her self-deprecation again. After this, she will receive a message from anot

her of her friends, Ameli, with whom she seems to have a strong relationship. link since she seems very worried about her who was not responding to her messages But Ameli tells him that she was just asleep and not to worry, we will enter a room with the walls papered with notes with insults and expletives. Here we will see the first signs that Anita suffered abuse as a child from her mother because of this. girl has been taking antidepressants and also self-harms in this room we will also find a

n article where they comment that in recent years in the city of kstat cases of child abuse and mistreatment have increased. When we leave the room we will see something in the distance in darkness, a fairly tall creature will begin to chase us through the corridors, corridors now converted into a hellish place where iron and rust take center stage, very identifying elements of the Silent Hill dimension. Anita manages to escape from the creature when she receives another message from an upset Ma

ya. He comments that he just saw a monster but Maya ignores him and asks him to go to her study. Later we will find another article that comments that in the building known as the villa, the same one where Anita is located, is the place that many young people and teenagers choose to kill themselves by jumping from the roof after reading this Anita worries even more about her friend fearing that she has come to this place to kill herself. When we arrive at the studio we will find Maya's drawing n

otebook inside we will see some of her sketches like this like the drawing of a boy who wears a very characteristic bracelet but we won't be able to continue browsing Because we will receive another message from Maya who asks him if he has already arrived at the studio. Then when we discover that Anita also likes to draw, in fact, an account is opened in a social network to show her drawings but this looks quite gloomy and morbid which caused rejection in people which is why her classmates make

fun of her however Maya's account has hundreds of Followers and nice comments This is the first indication that Anita is jealous of Maya because she is desperate to get attention and be on her level. Anita made another account where only she uploaded her photos. Apparently this was the only way to gain likes and comments, but the fact of having to denigrate herself That way, for a few likes they make her feel miserable. Suddenly she receives a call from Amelie where we will discover that Maya is

dead because the girl took her own life by jumping from the roof of that same building, shocked. Anita hangs up the call. The girl doesn't understand how. She has been able to forget about her friend's death and she also does not understand Who is the person who is writing to her from Maya's cell phone? Another message will arrive on her phone. Maya's ghost asks her to find something but does not tell her what we will be harassed by again. The creature from before, this time we will be able to

see what it looks like, it is a monster with a head and body full of Sakura petals and barbed wire. When we die, we will wake up again inside the building, this time we will have to avoid the monster, who is a Clear representation of Maya we will escape to the roof where we will see Maya's last work, the one she did before she died. Astonished, Anita takes her phone, checking that her art is still alive and how the girl continues to gain followers even after death, seeing this only depresses eve

n more. Our protagonist, who longs with all her soul for someone to notice her, hungry for attention and eager to be someone, decides to follow in Maya's footsteps and jump off the roof so maybe she will get that popularity that she so desires, but it is in her hands because Anita discovers that she is trapped in a loop and that she cannot die. Not until she remembers the real reason why she is there, this time the building will be more changed and we will see that Maya's drawings have been vand

alized because someone has dedicated herself to ruining the tiles with graffiti. and insults we will also see how hate messages began to appear in the comments of Maya's last drawing a sign that the girl was also suffering from bullying we will talk again with Amelie who comments that she feels guilty for Maya's death because apparently they were both very close and as a friend she should have realized that something was going on. bad, but since Maya acted normally, no one realized her intention

s. In fact, both girls shared thoughts through letters that they sent to each other hidden inside the books that they lent to each other. Do you remember the witch from kstat Well, it turns out that This woman was Maya's great-grandmother. Someone used this information to unleash hateful comments and excessive harassment on the poor girl who was called a witch. In addition, everything indicates that Maya had a relationship with a boy, the special person she mentioned in her diary but who did not

. They were able to end up together, this boy, we have drawn him in his sketchbook. In addition to the fact that he wears the same bracelet as Maya, we even found a positive pregnancy test in the young woman's study. This may be the reason why the teenagers had to separate our lives. The steps will take us on a journey through Ameli's memories, discovering that she does not get along with her brother, whom she always tries to avoid, since Leene is very afraid because, according to what we can re

ad in her diary, she does not like her brother to stare at her anymore. There are indications that he may have tried to get involved with her at some point. The decline of the city of Kenad led to the ruin of Ameli's parents, thus frustrating her desire to go to university. In this house we will find news about the discovery of a girl died in the villa building but unlike Maya the reasons why she took her life was frustration at not being able to go to university which makes us think that Ameli

also committed suicide we will then go on to see a representation of the girls' school where we will witness the horrible harassment that Maya suffered, her classmates insulted her and her art as well as ruined her desk and her locker, but the curious thing about this is that Anita experiences harassment as if they were doing it to her but This has an explanation that we will see later after fleeing the creature again we will be back in Maya's studio here we will see a new drawing on the wall on

e of Ameli as well as we will read Maya's diary where the girl comments that she did not get along well with her mother and that she was receiving ridicule from her classmates, something she did not give much importance to. She was convinced that they were only doing it to take out their frustrations on her. Maya also comments that she lost someone special, someone who gave her hopes and since then she feels lost this could be the boy we have drawn in her sketchbook here we will see another memo

ry the day Anita and Ameli met Maya how she sympathizes with Ameli As soon as she saw her Anita didn't seem to like this since she has always felt ignored by Maya who only paid attention to her friend. In fact, before dying, Maya had left a written note for Meli inside one of the books. In this farewell note, Maya comments that she can't stand the situation but Ameli never got to read it will be So when we discover Anita's role in this whole story is that she really hated Maya she envied her in

every way she was a better artist people adored her art and most importantly she tried to take away Amelie's only friend This is demonstrated in the notes that we found in a notebook in the garbage room where Anita expresses all her hatred towards Maya, guided by this feeling, she started a movement of bullying and harassment against her, revealing that her great-grandmother was the witch of the Far East. So Anita, who until then had been the target of ridicule from all her classmates, diverted

all the attention towards the new student, turning her into a victim and making her life hell. Anita took the note from the book and hid it in her locker so that Amel wouldn't find it. read what could have prevented Maya's death the mind as a defense mechanism can make us forget painful memories of our life This is what happened to Anita who after Maya's death completely forgot what happened, hiding it by living her life but despite Having forgotten everything, Anita still felt unhappy and now w

e will see why, after remembering what she did to Maya, Anita goes up to the roof and calls him and confesses. the truth But the weight of guilt is too much and the girl tries to take her own life for the second time by jumping from the roof. Her attempt to die is again in vain because she wakes up again in the room at the beginning of the game where she receives another message from Maya who insists that he find something is Then when we will read about the Silent Hill phenomenon, a condition i

n which a psychologically unstable person when in a very stressful situation, his vision begins to darken or tunnel as if he were wandering through a dense Fog said Fog represents uncertainties and sensory illusions preventing her from distinguishing between illusion and reality. This phenomenon is precisely what Anita is experiencing as she finds herself trapped within a dark loop, being pursued by hallucinations and painful memories that will not end until she overcomes her traumas. In this la

st part of the game we will learn about the hard past of Anita whose mother, after divorcing her father, continued living as a single mother in charge of her two children, Anita and her little brother, who was just a baby. As the months passed, mother took a new partner, someone who was not accepted by her children but is far from understanding the situation, she put her own happiness before that of her children, blaming him then when he would begin to mistreat them both physically and psycholog

ically, abusing pills and alcohol, keeping them locked up. inside a closet without letting them out and she spent the day outside with her new boyfriend, leaving the house and her children unattended, which would end up turning the apartment into a dunghill. The social services soon realized this. Because the neighbors complained about hearing The children cried day and night, even her partner couldn't stand the situation anymore and ended up abandoning her. One of those days, the mother found h

er little son dead inside the closet where she used to keep him locked up, not knowing what to do. She hid the body inside the refrigerator. This is why we repeatedly see a refrigerator throughout the game always related to hateful phrases that her mother said to her. Anita, witnessing this, ran to her neighbors for help and told them what her mother had done. They hesitated to call the police and the mother was arrested for the crime but ended up becoming the same monster as her mother since he

r grandmother also beat and locked her mother up and she told Anita that her way of being was a curse that She would end up inheriting after a last confrontation with the creature. Anita arrives at the studio where she finally discovers what Maya asked her to find is that she always complained about being invisible to Maya, believing that she only wanted Amelie's friendship. But the reality was very different. Well, there is a drawing of her inside Maya's notebook, which means that Maya did care

about her and tried to be her friend, but Anita was unable to realize this and misinterpreted her intentions. This revelation is actually quite confusing. Well, at least Throughout the game we have seen Anita's memories and how Maya showed interest and concern in her, the only explanation I can think of is that Maya was not talking to her but to Ameli and Anita has these memories because she was there with them Well, let's remember that Ameli and Anita were always together with the truth reveal

ed, the girl goes up to the roof for the last time and calls Ameli on the phone, dejected by the weight of guilt, says goodbye to her friend but when she is about to jump into the void, uncle receives a message. amelie who begs him not to abandon her for the first time in her life Anita feels loved she feels that someone really cares this dose of reality makes her regret it on the spot and she walks away from the edge breaking down in tears and reconsidering her value of life, when this happens,

the fog suddenly dissipates and everything returns to normal, a horrible experience that makes her see life with different eyes that will undoubtedly mark her forever, but everything she has told you so far may not be true. be what really happened since the story is quite confusing and there are things that never are explained in the game in addition to certain points that could show that both Anita and Ameli could be dead all the time, it is up to you to believe in the version that you like th
