This game has been such a weird vibe for me, I love the story and everything going on but for these past few nights I've just been exploring. I havent beaten the game but whenever I get a chance I wander. I wander and wander and see things that just make me feel a type of way. I think since the nights I've been playing and exploring have been nights of high anxiety and depression for me its been striking a cord within me, not like "my heart is so foggy and empty..." just like thinking about what was here before. I loved when I went to the right of the motel and found the bowling alley and maria gave some dialogue. It made me feel special as if I had done something without an achievement. This game genuinely so relaxing when theres no monsters/enemies, just wandering the cold foggy streets and looking at these places left to rot. Theres something beautiful I find within this game and genuinely has been making me feel emotions most games don't have me feel anymore.

thank you Silent Hill 2.
