    Yeh, I don’t know how far in I am, probably not very, I just entered the mines. I suspect much of the plot is passing me by. Though understanding German is probably a help.

    The plot not making much sense is very Silent Hill. You basically needed to get a secret ending to have any idea at all what was going on in SH1. Got the same vibe here.

    But I’m happy soaking up the atmosphere and looking at the freaky shit.

      I’m not the most patient gamer, and usually I would skip story/lore related notes in games, and even main story cutscenes. Here I was kinda invested.

      I looked through the wiki for a couple of hours, and I got the impression, that even the connections between the main story bits are just fans’ speculations. But anyway, I think, it would be a good idea to recollect the facts on your own, read about the references and build your own picture first before checking online - I feel like I kinda spoiled it for myself a bit by rushing to the wiki.

        I always read in game notes, but still often don’t pick up on thing’s in games, partly because I’m terrible with names. Not going to spoil it for myself, at least until I’ve finished it and tried to come up with my own interpretation.
