I’ve been a fan of the Silent Hill game series for quite some time now. Although the combat leans towards the tedious side, it’s still a really fun survival game that has every element of psychological complexity and adrenaline blasting simplicity from ambiance to imagery.
I enjoy how the combination of moral decisions you make in the game can alternate the ending you obtain.
I love how in every game the silent hill universe is tailored to the person who experiences it based on the actions that took place in their normal lives, and the creatures depicted are a direct representation of their own internal conflict.
There’s also something I like about what people would now consider to be ‘bad graphics’ in the older games, it kind of adds on the the overall atmosphere and creepiness, plus, who doesn’t enjoy a game that messes with their head a little, Silent Hill has never failed, except for the second movie, that failed everyone.

I watched The Picture of Dorian Gray, thats the only work by Oscar Wilde I know so far, but after reading this article I’m interested in looking into his other writings.
I notice a little bit of a theme in his works so far, controversial matters, judgement and prejudice, temptation, pleasure and punishment.
Thank you for your insight, I look forward to enjoying his other pieces.

I actually just completed watching this series not too long ago, and it was indeed difficult to follow, looking at how others interpreted it kind of helped better my understanding of the story.
Towards the end of the show Lain is trying to figure out which version of herself is the real one. Troubled for reassurance and yet aware of her omnipotence, Lain appears to be, in my opinion, the most humanistic character in the show.
In an interaction between Lain and her best friend Alice, Lain describes herself as software computer program, and the all the human beings in the material world as applications.
In the human world, Lain is projected as a shy and innocent girl, a girl who has doubts and fears, craves unconditional love and wants to understand herself and the world she lives in, much like how we do in our own lives.
In the wired there were different versions of Lain, as Lain herself is quite complex.
It’s true that through social media we alter our personalities to project the version of ourselves that we believe to be best suited for the situation at hand, if someone makes a mistake, suddenly personal or false information or identification of ones self has just been exposed for billions of unseen eyes and can seldom be undone.
Even if someone feels that who they are projecting is indeed a false pretense, perhaps, there may still be some truth to that self yet. After all, we seek reassurance from others about ourselves just as Lain did, and events around us can help shape and manifest those doubts and concerns.
Overall, I thought the series was brilliant, and your article thorough and enjoyable.
