Silent HL is a Half-Life 2 modification based on the feel of the Silent Hill series. If you love SH you'll surely love our mod. However, even if you don't know anything about SH, you'll still love it as long as you're a horror fan. Our mod will not use any of the story, characters, etc. from Silent Hill; it will be an original creation. We just want to recreate the feel of terror and suspense that SH had, but in a first-person environment. You'll rely on your flashlight as most locations will be pitch black or have very little lighting. You'll walk down a corridor hearing monsters moaning and scratching, never knowing when you're going to be attacked. The game will focus on puzzles and exploration, while combat will mainly be melee-focused with little ammo for guns. You won't fight a ton of monsters, but when you do we want them to terrify you. Expect to be unnerved by the environments, surprised by the enemies, and haunted by the sounds. The first release of this game will be a one map release similar to MINERVA; it will mainly use stock Half-Life 2 content. If that is a success with our team and the community, we'll create a completely original modification with our own weapons, monsters, etc. For the initial release we will be adding some of our own features though such as unsettling ambience, a modified HUD, and a film grain effect as seen in Silent Hill 2. Please join our forum community, we want YOUR ideas! We want to know what terrifies you. Help us shape this mod into a terrifying game that will keep you looking over your shoulder while you play. Be sure and sign up for auto-updates on our mod so you always know the latest news!
The Story:
I woke up in what appeared to be some kind of hospital...how the hell had I gotten here? Grabbing the flashlight next to my feet, I stood up. I don't remember anything... It looked like a hospital but there was something off about it, not quite right. This place hadn't seen any use in at least a decade. There was nothing in the world that could keep me in a place like this. Turning around I tried to push the door open...locked. I peered out the window, but it was too foggy to see anything but a few dead trees. Why am I here? Who am I? I had no choice but to explore the hospital to find a way out. Just down the corridor I saw a sign that said Pinehurst Insane Asylum. As if just being an abandoned hospital wasn't bad enough, it had to be an asylum. I turned on the flashlight I'd found and began walking down the corridor while the light formed haunting shadows that danced on the walls...
