The only thing scarier than Silent Hill is Silent Hill in first-person

Silent Hill Homecoming

In Silent Hill Homecoming, Alex Shepherd has returned to his hometown of Shepherd's Glen to investigate the sudden disappearance of his brother. From Shepherd's Glen to the foggy streets of Silent Hill, Alex will face the darkest of horrors while struggling with his own grip on reality.

Though Silent Hill received an upgrade of sorts courtesy of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on the Wii in 2009, the original 20-year-old game is one of few instalments of the psychological horror series that arguably hasn't aged well. Fans of old still appreciate it, of course, but new players may struggle with its dated graphics and control scheme.

Until now, perhaps.

Though not sanctioned by Konami, a long-time fan has remade the opening of Silent Hill. While it's only a few minutes long, the demo has taken five months to complete as all assets were traced and remade from the original models, plus the switch to first-person perspective brings you (uncomfortably) closer to Harry's horrifying ordeal.
