James is shocked and confused by the letter’s contents, and decides to travel to the town to seek answers. However, upon arriving there, he finds himself trapped in a thick fog and a spooky atmosphere inhabited by mysterious creatures and filled with strange symbols. Along the way, James encounters several mysterious characters, such as Maria, a woman who closely resembles his wife, Mary, but has a completely different personality.

The further James explores the town, the deeper he sinks into guilt and painful memories of his past. He continually encounters strange creatures and events that turn out to stem from his own dark memories. This game takes you on a journey of grief, regret, and acceptance, with the ending ultimately dependent on your choices. Silent Hill 2 is known as one of the most profound and emotional games in the PS2 horror genre.
