What is Silent Hill?

Silent Hill is a quiet town surrounded by forests on the edge of Toluca Lake in the United States. It is also a vacation and health resort. The town's earliest history can be traced back to the early 17th century, when early British colonists settled here; before that, this place was a sacred place used by local indigenous people for religious activities. In the 18th century, a strange plague killed a large number of residents in the town. The surviving people fled one after another, leaving the town uninhabited for a long time. In the early 19th century, the British used Silent Hill as an overseas exile and opened a prison and "Brookhaven Hospital" here. Around 1840, the prison closed and Silent Hill was once again abandoned. In the 1850s, another group of pioneers discovered coal deposits in Silent Hill, and Silent Hill prospered again. During the Civil War, this place was used as a prisoner of war camp, during which large-scale torture and murder of prisoners of war occurred. After the Civil War, the prison camp closed and Silent Hill began to become a tourist attraction. In modern times, a cult group composed of religious fanatics became active in the town. This group spread its own eschatology everywhere, advocated the use of human sacrifice to resurrect "gods", and also used a special local plant to Refining drugs for sale.

Silent Hill is a place with sacred power in the hearts of the indigenous people. However, in the past few hundred years of historical changes, this power has been distorted by various humanitarian disasters on this land. The current Silent Hill can drag characters in the real world into a "different world", or in other words, it can materialize people's desires here. It is generally believed that the world view of Silent Hill is a three-dimensional parallel world. The first is the real world, with residents, governments, and tourists for sightseeing and vacation; the second is the "surface" world in the "different world", which is the game. The third one is the fog-filled Silent Hill; the third one is the "inside" world in the "different world". At this time, the fog-filled Silent Hill turns into darkness, blood, and corruption.
