Let me tell you about Silent Hill Visual Novels~










So after a long (very long) hiatus, I am finishing this LP. We had finished Harry's story already in the last thread and had started into Cybil's. We will continue from the voting tallied from the last thread. All of the original updates will be archived on SSLP tester poster, while the new updates in this thread.

quote:

First off, the NO SPOILERS rule is in effect for this Lp. Don't discuss things that haven't happened yet, and all that fun stuff. I will be throwing out discussion every once in awhile myself to keep things happenin'

The game has branching paths from simple a, b, c choices. So naturally we will let the thread decide Harry's Cybil's course of action from voting on the choices when they arise. Let's not try to get Harry Cybil killed shall we?

He might get cranky if we wake him...

So "Wait til he wakes up" wins!

Chapter 2 "Cafe"
Cybil waits for the man to wake up

Cybil was relieved to know that she was not the only person in the town.
She sat down at the counter and waited for the man to awaken.

After a bit Cybil thought that the man's breathing had become troubled. As she
thought this he forcefully sat up.


Cybil moved over to the man until she was able to look down at him and
then folded her arms.

She was relieved.
That was how she honestly felt.

"It looks like you have come around."

"Who are you?"

The man asked this while heavily shaking his head.

"I'm Cybil.
Cybil Bennet.
All communication with this town suddenly went dead. This worried me, so
I came here to investigate."

"I'm...Harry Mason. I brought my daughter to this town for some sightseeing,
but on the way there was an accident and I lost consciousness...

Oh, yeah, Cybil...You haven't seen a little girl in this town have you?"


For a moment Cybil could not hide her astonishment, but then because of her
profession she quickly feigned a more resolute attitude.

"A little girl...
No, I haven't seen her..."

"When I came to after the accident my daughter was nowhere to be seen.
The passenger door was open and she was gone.

Cheryl...uh, sorry, my daughter's name is Cheryl...
She is a timid child, so it is hard to imagine that she headed out into this
weird town alone.
Plus I was there in the driver's seat...
And since she gave me no warning it just doesn't make sense.

Are you familiar with this area?
There is no sign of anyone, and what is going on with the snow at this time
of year...
Just what in the world has happened in this town?"

Harry spoke while sighing.

"I'm afraid I don't know either.
I still haven't seen anyone other than you.
It's like the town is as silent as a graveyard, left without even the means
to contact any neighboring towns."

"I see."

"So you also had an accident?
I thought it was a good idea to head to the police station in this town alone
on my motorcycle, but...
I guess I was going a little too fast.

A girl suddenly jumped out into the road...I am pretty sure it was a girl...I
almost hit her.
I cut the handlebars hard in order to avoid her...
After that I can barely remember anything......

When I came to I was lying in the street in front of this cafe.
So naturally I came in here to get out of the snow.
And then I found you sleeping there..."

"I...was having some kind of a terrible dream.
As for if I made it here on my own I don't remember at all...
Just what in the world has happened in this town...
What is going on with everything?"

"Well, the situation is definitely strange.
I will head back to Brahms for reinforcements, and then return here.
How about you?"

Cybil stood and fixed her collar with resolute fortitude.

"I've got to look for Cheryl...
There is no way I can just leave her here alone."


"I see. Well, I'll give you this then.
You never know what might happen under these circumstances.
If you feel threatened then pull the trigger without hesitating."

She gives Harry a handgun loaded with live ammunition.

"But you...will you be alright?"
Harry asks worriedly.

"I'm not like the average girls around here.
I have undergone the proper training."

Cybil placed her hand on the exit door, but then she turned and faced Harry
again.

"Harry. Don't go shooting me by mistake or anything.
I haven't had any training on how to stop bullets."

She smiled after saying this, opened the door of the cafe, and then headed
out into the thick fog.


Cybil looks back and sees that the cafe has disappeared into the fog.
Having lost her motorcycle, Cybil can only wander about on foot and alone
in the eerie town.

"It's too quiet.
There is no sense of anyone at all.
I would like to hail a taxi or something, but there is not a single car
running."

At some point Cybil had began to run.
Above all she must get out of Silent Hill.
However, after running for a bit Cybil's hopes were crushed.


All the roads leading out of town were cut off, and it was as if the
entire town was floating in the air. There was no way for anyone to enter the
town.

"Haaaah..."
Cybil sighs deeply.
She then decides to try going back the way she came.
After running for a bit she comes to another steep valley like before.
It is wide and impedes her passage.

And then she became sure that it was not possible to escape from this place.

Cybil felt like a bird in a cage as she walked apathetically and aimlessly
through the falling snow.

It was not long before a black, wriggling object appeared in her
field of vision.

The small shadow off in the fog


"What...is that?"

From off in the fog, the four-legged thing moved at a slow pace as it
gradually closed the distance between it and her.

And then as soon as it detected Cybil it began to ferociously run toward her,
scattering the fog as it moved.

The monster...

A ) attacked Cybil.

B ) just ran away.

Also, some of those endings were surreal and great. Finally, did you see my discoveries in my own thread (The Silent Hill mobile phone trilogy) that the Japan only cell phone visual novel, Silent Hill DX I want to say, si a different game entirely from this one? I couldn't get it to work myself, but maybe you'll have better luck.

I definitely skimmed the LP but I haven't had much time for LPs lately (sorry!)

I actually have some things for DX. I am trying to do something with it.

the dog was just passing by...

Chapter 3 - "Police Station"

The monster just moves right past Cybil, and then continues away from her.
"Clearly...
Clearly it is headed somewhere with some purpose."

Various concerns run through the back of Cybil's mind.
Instinctively, she begins to chase after the monster.

However, its speed is fast and it does not appear possible for Cybil to
be able to catch up to it.
Additionally, the thick curtain of fog is also making her pursuit difficult...

Cybil continues to run for a while, but ends up completely losing sight of
her target.

She stops and leans against an antique lamppost and presses on her chest.
She waits as the time between her continuous white breaths
gradually increases, and then begins walking again.


Being unable to escape from Silent Hill, Cybil then worried about what she
should do next.
Since all the people have vanished she cannot even talk to anyone about what
is happening here.

"I should look for the police station.
Even if the person I was talking on the phone with earlier isn't there,
I might be able to get some other information there."
She has visited this town many times.
Following the thread of her memory, she begins walking along the
complicated intersecting streets.


"Just how long have I been walking?"
As she saw the word "POLICE" appear from out of the fog her entire body was
completely exhausted.


She opens the glass door at the entrance and heads inside. As she does this
she sees that no one is here, which is just as she had expected.
The lack of any sound is painful to her ears.

After she walked around the reception area for a bit she moved toward
a room that the door had been left open for.
The plate beside the door says "Meeting Room".

Compared to the same room at the Brahms station, this one is quite small.
She looked around the room.

Inside the meeting room

"Ah......"

A ) The phone is off the hook...

B ) Someone is here...

Chapter 4 - "to school"

Cybil senses someone...
Somewhere in this small room...

Underneath the lined up tables...
Behind the folding chairs...
Cybil cautiously checked all the places that someone could hide in, but...
It does not appear that anyone is here.

The faded ceiling fan is blowing air down towards Cybil.
That might have been what made her so sure someone was here, or perhaps
it was just her imagination.

She is uneasy.
She wants to talk to someone, to anyone.
These feelings might be what made Cybil think that someone was here.

"What was that all about?"
Cybil left the police station.
Cybil is once again in the city streets where the snow is falling.
"That's right..."
Cybil recalled her conversation with Harry.


(Oh, yeah, Cybil...You haven't seen a little girl in this town have you?)

"A little girl...
Yes...Cheryl.

I wonder if I will be able to rescue her unharmed in this town which has
become a nest of monsters..."

But Cybil is a police officer.
To find and protect Cheryl is her responsibility and her mission.

Realizing this Cybil could not sit still, and in the next moment she was gone.

"There should be an elementary school on the edge of town."
Cybil followed her intuition and decided that Cheryl probably headed for the
school after wandering around town.

Per her training in child psychology, she has learned that if a child
loses their parents or guardian then the chance is high that they will
be drawn to places that they are most used to going, places where there are
a lot of people.

However, ahead of her all knowledge, either a bit instinctively, or due to a
sense similar that to that of a memory coming back, she believed somewhere
within her heart that Cheryl was probably at the elementary school.


Cybil may have been drawn here by someone.
As she nears the elementary school part of her shirt becomes soaked
with clammy sweat.

"Is it really ok to go inside?"
She asks herself this many times.

As she reached the edge of the school grounds her conscientious sense of duty
as a police officer rose up within her along with her sense of reason, and
she began to walk naturally towards the school.

It is now too late for her to turn back.
She readies herself, and then using both hands she pushes the door in front
of her open with all her strength.

The aged building reeked of a peculiar mildew.
However, its insides were much cleaner than she had expected, and
Cybil found this a bit surprising.

Perhaps it was just the result of her enduring the cold wind for so long, but
she had a terrible headache.
Cybil pressed her fingers to her temples, and eventually began to walk
aimlessly again.


Cybil opened a door leading to a long hallway. She looked through the
glass windows placed in the doors of the classrooms while slowly walking.
There was no sign of Cheryl.

The courtyard is to her right.
The landscaping is very nice, and has been well cared for.
The snow has become sleet.
It does not look like it will accumulate.
In the back of the courtyard there is an old-feeling clock tower; however,
Cybil is not particularly interested in it.

"Hmm, I wonder how Harry is doing...
I wonder if the gun I gave him has come in handy...
If I cannot meet with Harry after I find Cheryl then it will be
meaningless...

We should have made plans to rendezvous somewhere..."

Cybil thought this, but at this point nothing could be done.

At any rate, there was her horrible headache.
It is gradually getting worse, dulling her sense of time and space.
A sluggishness similar to sleepiness grasps her entire body.


"Perhaps I am just dreaming all of this?", Cybil thought.
It is difficult for a person to tell whether they are dreaming or not while
in a dream, but for her to accept these conditions is just as difficult.

She has no memory of how she got to this town, so it seemed natural
for her to think that she has been in a deep sleep since the moment of the
motorcycle accident until now.

"Or possibly from even before then...
From the time of the phone call with the Silent Hill (police) station?

Or maybe..."

While contemplating the many possibilities, Cybil climbed the stairs to the
second floor of the school.

And then...

A ) She heard a melody being played on a piano.

B ) She heard the scream of a little girl.

Okay I am finally in my new place, so the LP continues. I wish this update could be longer, but the the branch is important. So make your choice wisely!

That piano might be breaking a law... time to investigate!

Chapter 5 - Melody of a Piano

And then she heard a melody being played on a piano from one of the classrooms.

A nervous look ran across Cybil's face.
And at the same time she felt relief.
As if being drawn by the sound of the piano Cybil cautiously moves toward
the room that the is music coming from while feeling along the wall with
her hand.

"Music Room"
That is what is written on the door.
The beautiful melody is definitely being played by someone in this room.
Cybil places her hand on the door.

And at that moment...
The music suddenly stopped and the area was enveloped in silence.


"Who's there?"
She says this and then opens the door.
Inside the center of the room a grand piano has been placed. The piano appears
cramped within the cozy room.

No one is sitting in front of the piano.

Cybil approaches the piano.
Its cover is open and the blacks and whites on the keyboard stand out.
Almost like smoke, the player of the piano appears to have vanished into
thin air.

"Strange..."
Cybil mutters.
Behind the curtains... Under the piano...
Cybil looked in all the places in the room that a person could hide.

There is only one entrance to this room.
There is no other way to enter this room other than by using the door that
Cybil just came through.
"Did they jump out of the window?
No, this is the second floor.
Falling from here would result in more than just an injury."

Having become a little spooked, she turned to leave the room.
In the next instant Cybil's heart nearly stopped.


At the entrance to the music room a white faced girl was sitting still, and
just looking at Cybil.
She appeared to be afraid of something, and her wide eyes were filled with
tears that looked like jewels.

"Cheryl...?
Are you Cheryl...?"
Cybil regained her composure and approached the little girl.
She kneeled and softly placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, and the
girl nodded.

"My name is Cybil.
Your daddy is looking for you.
If we don't hurry back to him...
Your daddy is braving danger running around this town.
Have you seen that ferocious-looking monster?"

Cybil thought of the monster that she had seen in town as she spoke.

Suddenly Cybil heard the scream of a little girl from in front of her.
"What ...?"
A nervous look ran across Cybil's face.
"Cheryl? A scream...?
...that could mean..."

However, there was also a feeling of relief deep inside Cybil's heart.
The presence of another human...
Someone else who could sympathize with her about this isolated world...

Cybil begins to run.
It doesn't matter to her who's voice that was, and she runs down the long
hallway praying that they are okay.

And as she approached a certain room...

Cybil noticed something.

A ) The figure of a person.

B ) Something at her feet...

Chapter 6 "Escort"

Something is tangling and twisting around Cybil's feet.

It feels slippery, and has bound Cybil's feet like a long piece of tape.
She falls down and lands hard on her butt.

"What...is this...!"

Through her boots she can feel the jelly-like substance moving up her body.
It is accompanied by a horrible smell that makes her want to vomit.
"KYAA!"

She tried as hard as she as she could to free herself, but the more she
struggled, the more it spread, and in no time it had moved to her upper body.

Once it gets in her mouth it will be all over.

"Please stop."

The voice is a little girl's.
Obeying the voice the jelly stops its movement, and appears to sink into
Cybil's clothing as it dissipates.

Cybil raises her head.
"Music Room" is written on the door.
The door is halfway open, and a little girl appears from inside.
Her soft black hair stands out against her fair complexion.

"Cheryl...?
Are you Cheryl...?"
Cybil regained her composure and approached the little girl.
She kneeled and softly placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, and the
girl nodded.

"My name is Cybil.
Your daddy is looking for you.
If we don't hurry back to him...
Your daddy is braving danger running around this town.

You also saw that monster just now, didn't you?
If we don't get out of here soon then we will also be in danger."

Cheryl shakes her head back and forth to say "no".
Cybil does not understand what Cheryl means, but continues anyway.

"I will protect you.
Let's go to your Daddy.
It is my duty to take you to him."

Cybil says this, takes Cheryl's hand in hers and they begin to run down the
hallway.

By chance...
The two of them happen to look out a window.
"That's..."

From where they are the visible courtyard has become completely enveloped
in darkness.
For it to become night so soon...

For a moment Cybil cannot believe her eyes, but then
she was only able to worry about whether she would be able to meet Harry.

Down the pitch black hallway

The two of them walk down the pitch black hallway.
Because of the difference in their strides their footsteps overlap as they
echo.

At the moment they approached the entrance to the school grounds Cheryl
spoke directly for the first time.

"I...
I don't want to leave here.
I don't want to see my Daddy.
If we meet there will be sadness.
You should go back Ma'am."

Cybil stopped walking, and spoke while just staring at Cheryl.

"It's your Daddy.
There's no reason that it would be sad for you to see him.
If you stay here then you might get hurt or worse.
Things would then be truly sad."

Saying that Cybil begins walking again.
After a bit she stops and adds, "It's Miss, not Ma'am" and then
the two of them left the school.

Walking toward the cafe


"Just what time is it now?"
Cybil curses the fact that she forgot her watch at the Brahms station.
"It is probably late at night."
She no longer feels the headache or sleepiness from just before.

Holding Cheryl's cold hand Cybil focuses her mind on locating Harry.

She figured that Harry was no longer in the cafe, but wonders if maybe he
left a memo or something there for her.

Compared to Harry, Cybil should know the geography of Silent Hill better
because of her profession.
However, because of the darkness and thick fog that limit her field of vision
she is in a situation in which it is difficult to know even her current
position.

She had encountered a strange monster on her way to the school, so
now she did not have much confidence in being able to find her way back to
the cafe.

The sky began to get light while Cybil walked and contemplated the route to
the cafe.
This made her think that perhaps time is rapidly passing in this town alone.
Although the fog was present as ever to decrease visibility, she could see
a lot better now.


And then, before she knew it the cafe was right in front of her.

"...Something isn't right."
Cybil feels a sense of discord within her.

However, her feet continued on, as if guided by strong power, to the inside of
the cafe.

The horrible sight inside the cafe


Cybil led Cheryl through the entrance of the cafe.
The inside of the cafe had been ravaged.
The glass windows facing the street were broken and several tables were
knocked on their sides, so Cybil could not move any further in.

"...oh my god."

"I wonder if Harry is alright?"
A red pool of liquid reflects vividly in Cybil's eyes.
She prayed that it was not Harry's blood.

"Harry! It's me.
It's Cybil.
I found Cheryl.
If you are here then please come out."

There is no answer.
Cybil had began to step forward, but then gasped with an "Uh".


"Just what...is this..."

The corpse of a brown colored monster that Cybil has never seen before lies
in the center of the pool of red liquid.

Several shells were scattered about, which meant that Harry probably had
a battle here.

Since Harry was no longer here she guessed that he defeated this monster
and then left to search for Cheryl.
"Is he hurt?"

Cybil...

A ) began to search the area.

B ) cautiously moved towards the monster.

Zackcat

hey look its update time!

Chapter 7 "Mommie Dearest"

Thinking that perhaps there was a memo, Cybil began her search with the
counter; however, there did not appear to be anything there.
"Maybe Harry left here in a hurry after being attacked by the monster."

Cybil looked at Cheryl.
With the bloody scene in front of her Cheryl was surprisingly calm.
From time to time she looked out the window as if she were concerned about
something.

"Well, your Daddy is not here.
Let's look somewhere else."

Cybil took Cheryl's hand, and without a word they rushed out into the
snowy street once again.


(Ding...Dong...)

A church bell is ringing.
The bell rings forcefully, almost as if it had been waiting for them to leave
the cafe.

"There are still...other people here."

Cybil's eyes glittered.
"This might be Harry's way of telling me where he is."

And even if it is not Harry, if there is someone still here in town then she
would like to meet them.

And hear what they have to say.

Cybil's feet naturally pointed toward the church.
Expecting to find a clue to escaping and reuniting with Harry, she tightly
gripped Cheryl's hand and began to run.

Once they arrived at the church the ringing stopped, and the large door at the
entrance began to open from the inside.

Cybil then thought that perhaps someone had been watching her movements
all this time. She looked up at the top of the church and then began to
look around nervously until a voice saying "This way" brought her back to her
senses.






Cybil faced the eerie woman from a distance.
The woman once more called out to Cybil: "This way"
Cybil mysteriously moved towards the woman.

"Were you the one ringing that bell?"

"Ku ku ku..."
The woman's face suddenly twisted and she began laughing loudly.
She saw Cybil's perplexed expression, but thought nothing of it and
just waved her hand left and right in front of Cybil's face.

"I have been waiting for you.
You have come just as I expected."

Cybil cocked her head to the side.
"Do you live here?"

The woman nodded and then looked at Cheryl.

"You have done well to come here.
You know, don't you?
That it was my doing that caused...
And you were hesitant to come alone, weren't you?
But in the end I was able to meet you.
It is all thanks to that woman."

"I don't understand what you are talking about."
Cybil's words may or may not have reached her, but that woman began
to laugh loudly again.
"Hey, tell me.
Why are there no people here?
Why are all the exits from town blocked?"

"I do not know either.
But shouldn't you be asking that girl instead?"

Cybil had a look of "What?" on her face. She looked at Cheryl.
Cheryl face was tearful, and she shook her head back and forth.

Cybil looked back at that woman and shouted at her.
"Stop all this nonsense!
We have been pursued by monsters and nearly killed.
If I was not protecting this child then who knows what would have happened to
her by now."

"The path of the Wiseman...the fool guided to this land through astrology.
Everything has been preordained.
There is nothing that I can do.
You are not holding that child's hand.
That child is holding yours."

Her anger showing, Cybil went to open her mouth. But at that moment the
woman blocked her.

"I am Dahlia Gillespie.
With that in hand I wonder where you will end up going.
I have nothing for you, and nothing to tell you.

You must escape from the demon's grasp as soon as possible.
You must find the means to do so for your own sake.
There is nothing I can do now.
I will pray for your safety.
...Cybil Bennet."

Cybil was shocked to be called by name. As she watched Dahlia quickly depart
she was unable to speak.

After Dahlia disappeared behind a door Cybil regained herself. She tightly
held Cheryl's hand and they left the church.

Right after they left the church Cheryl began to speak.

"Hey...Miss?
I am fine by myself now.
This is not my first time coming here, and I have met that lady we just saw
before."

Cybil stops in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"I, I have a place that I want to go.
But I can only go alone.
If you are with me, I won't be able to go, and then something terrible
is sure to happen."

"Something terrible? Why?
Your Daddy is looking for you.
Until I get you back to your Daddy I cannot leave your side."

"You're wrong.
My Daddy must not find me.
Someone is waiting for me.
In order to meet that person I..."

Cybil let out a short sigh.

A ) She snaps at and scolds Cheryl.

B ) She kindly admonishes Cheryl.

Sorry for the long wait for a very simple update. I have completed the LP material while away, so I can update very swiftly for any of the choices left!
We are reaching the end of the road....

Chapter 8 "Cheryl's Choice"

"Hey wait...
Come on Cheryl."

Cybil made an effort to calmly end Cheryl's speaking.

"You must have just had a bad dream or something.
But something more frightening is actually occurring in this town.
Come on, please take my hand."

Cheryl placed her small hand into Cybil's palm.

"I will protect you no matter what.
So you are safe, okay?"

Once more, Cybil began to walk down the foggy street with Cheryl in tow.
At first Cheryl resisted holding Cybil's hand as hard as she could, but
once she realized this was futile she reluctantly followed along behind
Cybil, while wiping away her tears.

Cheryl muttered something so that it could not be heard.

Cheryl's muttering.........

A ) Let's go...

B ) Goodbye...

Let me tell you about Silent Hill Visual Novels~
This LP sure is taking forever huh? Sorry again, I have been doing a lot of real life things that take me away from logging on. Let's continue...

Chapter 9 "Memories"


After walking for a bit the two of them started to notice that the murmuring
of water had began to interfere with their conversation.

"Ah"
Cheryl stopped walking.


Water was splashing up from the strong current in the old aqueduct
through the white fog.
Due to the bad weather, the water level had risen up to the fortified
concrete embankment. So rather than an aqueduct, it was more like
an overflowing river that was in a dangerous state.

The figure bobbing in the current

"What's that..."


A boy stood alone in the current.
He was fighting the current, and appeared to be holding on to a
fragile protrusion with all his might.


"Miss! Look!"

Cheryl screamed, broke away from Cybil's hand, and then began to run toward
the boy.

"Cheryl! That's dangerous!"

Cybil instantly chased after her.
A stone barrier runs parallel to the aqueduct. It is about shoulder-width and
about the height of a child.

Falling to the right from this barrier could result in injury, and falling to
the left would probably result in being swallowed up by the current.

Cheryl nimbly ran along the top of the narrow barrier.

"Wait! That is dangerous!"
Her words were ineffective.
Using her innate physical prowess, Cybil got on top of the barrier; however,
she could not run along it as nimbly as Cheryl.

By the time Cybil caught up to Cheryl she was lying prone on top of the barrier
and reaching out towards the embankment trying to grasp the boy's hair.

"That's dangerous! You will fall in!
It's too much for you!"

"We will save this boy.
Help me Miss!
Please!"

Cybil lightly jumps down onto the embankment side and is again surprised by
the strength of the current.
Cheryl is leaning out halfway and looks as if she could fall at any moment
and be swallowed by the dark waters.

"Cheryl, you stay right there and don't move.
I will be sure to save him."

Cheryl says nothing and just stares as Cybil.

Cybil's footing is quickly being eaten away by the strong current.
As long as snow continues to pour into the entire town the aqueduct will
certainly continue to overflow.

The water is up to Cybil's knees. As the water pulls at her legs Cybil reaches
her hand out toward the boy.
The boy's face is covered in the white splashes, so Cybil cannot see it very
well.

"Everything's all right, don't worry."
Cybil shouts out to give the boy hope.
But the boy just appears to be caught on the protrusion like a rag, and
perhaps that is the best way to describe him.


Cybil eventually grasps the boy's left arm and is relieved a little.

"Everything is fine.
Trust me."
Cybil says kindly.

However, the current of the water is faster than she had imagined.
Pulling the boy against the current will not be easy.
There is nowhere to grab on, so she cannot put any strength into it.
The freezing cold is robbing her body of its warmth and her fingertips
are going numb.

"Miss! It is impossible!
You too will be swept away by the current!"
Cheryl calls out to Cybil from behind.
Cybil has a maternal feeling that
she must save this boy, even if it means she will end up getting swept away.

"It will be ok...just a little more..."

Got it. Cybil gets a firm grasp on the boy's arm, and then successfully
pulls his small body up.

"Haa...Great... Are you ok?"

The boy does not answer right away, and just takes troubled breaths over and
over.

It is not surprising because he just nearly drown.

The boy remained crouched for a bit, but then finally began to speak.

"You...you were the one that pushed me in..."

From seeing the look of surprise on Cybil's face the boy changed his words.

"Not you. Her! It was that child!"

The boy rushes at Cheryl.
Before Cybil could even think to stop him the boy grabbed Cheryl's arm and
pulled her towards the current.


"What are you doing! Stop it now!" (Cybil)

"What do you know!
Why don't you tell her to stop!" (Andy)

Cheryl falls into the water and begins to be swept away by the strong current.

She would have to question the boy later.
Cybil stomps as she runs along the concrete to keep up with Cheryl.

"Cheryl!"

Ah...

Cybil's weak shouts were replaced by the sound of the water splashing.
She slips and ends up in the whirlpool of the strong current, and is
swallowed in the dark waters along with Cheryl.

.........

Everything is dark.
There is not even a single sound.
Cybil cannot tell whether her eyes are open or closed.
The hand gripping Cybil's hand suddenly moved.

(I, I may have used you Miss...)

Cybil made a face like "Wha?" and immediately asked:

(What are you saying?)

(That's why I was against it.
You are a good person, so I didn't want to get you wrapped up in this.
But in the end I have made you suffer.
I guess that is the same thing as getting you involved?)

Cybil smiles.

(I have said it many times, but it is my job to get you back into your
father's custody.
Getting me involved, or whatnot, it is not a problem.)

(...you're wrong...Miss)

Silence flows between the two of them.

(As for what Daddy will do and so on, those are issues that do not even
compare to what I am dealing with.
My own personal issue...
It's something that I should never ever tell anyone, something very important.

I have thought about it for so long.
I have been confused by it for so long.
However, maybe I can tell you about it Miss.
The reason why there is no one in town.
The reason why I don't want to see my Daddy.
And also, my true...)

Once again, there is silence.

(Your true? Your true what?)

(Do you know something?)
However, that question is not answered.


And then, the low sound of a motor runs through the floor and causes
a slight quiver in Cybil's stomach.
To her front she has only a glimpse of a single shaft of light.
The light thinly extends up and down, and eventually expands to the left and
right, revealing a small room.
It is an elevator.


The elevator doors have opened wide, and it sits ready, almost as if it has
come for Cybil.
Cybil and the girl are lit by its light...

And then...
Cybil felt the grip of the girl that she was holding on to become weak.

"No weight. An illusion?
No, the two of us are definitely holding hands."
Cybil looked toward the girl.

Her entire body was paralyzed with a chill.
Powerlessly, Cybil sank down in that very spot.
Her vision is hazy.
The color drains from her entire body.

The girl is not there in the light.
The thing that Cybil is holding on to...
It is...

The doll from that day


It was a slightly dirty, but familiar doll.

Countless blue fireworks went off in front of Cybil's eyes.

Memories of the past...

Unforgettable memories...

Memories that should have been tightly sealed away within her...

She was holding the doll tightly...
Cybil had hidden in the closet...
Through the crack, a familiar scene...

Her parents, shot in the head and...

The blood soaked carpet...

The low laugh of a man...

She held the doll over her mouth, to suppress the urges to scream that
assaulted her from time to time.
And so, she had somehow survived.

...she had survived.


"Why is the doll from that time here?

Why?

Why is it here?"


It was the reason she became a policewoman, that incident.

That incident had largely impacted her future.

Cheryl was gone, and all that was left was the unpleasant feeling of
memories she thought that she had forgotten.


"I'm losing my mind..."
She sobbed alone inside the elevator.
The town, along with the lives of several people, had been swallowed up
within the devil's dark garb.

Inside the small box she calmed her breathing while shaking her shoulders hard.
"First of all I should look for Harry.
And then work with him to escape from this wretched world."

Quite a bit of time passed since the "1" lamp had gone out on the floor
display.
From the vibrations she could tell that she was descending, but even still,
this had gone on for too long.

Staring at the display of "B1", she had pushed her back against the wall and
slumped.
Is there something in the basement of this building, deep in the ground?
And if Cybil was brought here, then what was the reason?

Eventually the elevator begins to gradually slow its descent, and at the same
time that it comes to a complete stop the B1 lamp lights up.
And then its doors open...
Cybil dully felt this series of movements.


With the doors open, the light that illuminates the passage that extends
in front of her pours into the elevator.

As Cybil begins to walk forward it almost looks like that light is supporting
her from behind.
It is cold.
Although she is just walking down a corridor that is like one in a jail,
Cybil's heart beats irregularly.


Eventually a single door appears.
The passage ends with this door.
Perhaps all the mysteries of B1 will lie in this room?

(I didn't want to get you wrapped up in this.)
The voice of the girl flitted about in the back of Cybil's mind.
"What was the girl's goal?
And where is Harry?
Perhaps Harry has come here in the same manner as well?
Or?"

She had a feeling that by opening this door the many questions whirling about
in her head would all be put to rest.
Cybil summoned forth her courage and placed her hand on the door.

"Ah...!"

It is hot, and Cybil immediately takes her hand off the knob.
Something is burning beyond this door.
It is impossible to open this door by hand.
Just from touching the door the palm of Cybil's hand stingingly hurts.

She kicks the door with all her might.
With a hopeful feeling, she continues to kick the door over and over with the
thick sole of her boot.
Finally the knob breaks, and the door forcefully opens inward. At the same
time hot wind singes Cybil's hair.

And then Cybil saw it.
The room is about as large as a movie theater. Fire has spread all throughout,
and it has began to collapse.

Beyond the debris and flames a man is holding something to his chest and
heading toward another exit in order to get out.
And just as he reached the exit the vigorously burning flames lit the side of
his face.

The profile of the man visible in the flames

It was...

A ) unmistakably Harry.

B ) an unfamiliar man.

Let me tell you about Silent Hill Visual Novels~
here it is. The conclusion of our (very) long journey to finish this game. I will be compiling the other endings, and posting up the Boy's Scenerio soon. Thanks for sticking it out with me.

Chapter 10 "Escape"


"Harry!"
Cybil's voice was a scream.
Without backing away, she ran into the room, which had become hell-like.
A piece of rubble enveloped in flames fell right in front of her.
"KYA!"

Cybil had fallen back on her behind, but instantly stood up, moved around the
obstacle and proceeded further into the room.
However, she had lost Harry.

"Harry!"
She once again yelled out his name.

Someone is collapsed at her feet.


A girl dressed in white clothing is lying face down, and her back moves
up and down along with her breathing.
Cybil stops, kneels down, and places her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Are you ok?
If you stay here you will be burned to death.
Hurry and get up!"

The girl just remains face down and does not even try to look up.

Cybil forcefully lifts the girl's shoulders up, and then her face freezes.
The girl is the one that she was just traveling with...

The girl's name suddenly rises up within her memory.

"Cheryl."

"Cheryl...why are you here...!"

Cybil carries Cheryl's small body and heads for the exit.

Cheryl has suffered serious burns on her entire body.
If they don't get out quickly then not only Cheryl, but Cybil as well will be
burned to ash.

Black smoke rises from Cheryl's white clothing.
The girl is just barely conscious, and her face is pale.
Part of her hair is burned, and her right cheek is red and swollen.
Cybil sheds tears.

The sounds of explosions resound from all directions, and the floor shakes
and rumbles.
Cybil holds the burned girl close to protect her and runs.

In order to save the faint life in front of her Cybil risks her own life.
Cybil devotes herself completely to her current goal.
And she considers this to be her duty.

Cybil avoids debris as she heads towards the exit. At the same time she thinks.

The man she just saw...
He seems to have just abandoned this girl.
And if that is the case...


Cybil finally arrives at the exit, and places her foot on the white staircase
that extends in front of her.
And then she races up it.

From behind the loudest explosion yet occurs.
A sea of fire is just behind Cybil, and is closing in on her.

As she climbs the long staircase Cybil has the goal of reaching the light
coming from above the ground. Or perhaps she just senses that it is her
last hope, so she runs stronger and faster up the stairs.

Cybil glances down at Cheryl's face.


The End.

Let me tell you about Silent Hill Visual Novels~
this is the ending most like the original. I am compiling the other endings currently, so in the mean time...

here is the Boy's Spring Scenario. A fairly short and interesting piece of Silent Hill lore lost in time.

The Boy?

The Boy is a seven year old boy named Andy who lives in the house next to
Harry and Cheryl Mason. He is also the main character of four scenarios that
could be downloaded into the Play Novel Silent Hill cartridge via cellular
phone. The four scenarios were named for each of the seasons, and thus there
were spring, summer, fall, and winter scenarios.

Unfortunately it is true that the download service has ended, so it may be
impossible to ever really play these scenarios; however, a few "lost memories"
do remain. You can see a picture of Andy on the back of the box of this game.
It is the one in the lower right corner. He also can appear in Cybil's story
taking a certain route in the waterway scene. Andy remains mostly a mystery to
this very day with only the slim bits of info provided by the Play Novel Guide.



Boy's Spring Scenario


Andy goes through his usual morning routine of looking (out his bedroom
window) for the girl who lives next door. He has become unsatisfied with
just looking at her and wants to become friends.


Andy sees Cheryl in the backyard and decides that it is finally time to talk
to her.

He...

A ) moves toward Cheryl and calls out to her.

B ) takes a deep breath to calm himself down.


At the moment he tries to call out to her, the front door of her house opens
and her father appears. Cheryl begins talking with her father.

In order to calm down, Andy closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. When he
opens his eyes again Cheryl has disappeared.

After secretly sneaking into the vehicle Andy holds his breath so that he will
not be discovered. Then the entire vehicle jerks hard......

Quickly realizing that Cheryl has gone missing, Andy walks around the town in
order to look for her.

Then...

A ) he hears someone's footsteps behind him.

B ) the precipice he is standing on crumbles.



A Ending
It is the sound of loafers clicking on the concrete. Perhaps it's Cheryl? Andy
tries to turn around, but his body won't move.

B Ending
The spot where Andy is standing suddenly crumbles away. His body is bumped as
he rolls to the bottom of the incline. He is then unable to move for a
while.

The End
