Sirent Hirr Spoirers

So a possible interpretation of the ending to Shattered Memories is that Heather/Cheryl is a fucking delusional psychotic who created two games worth of fantasy in her head to cope with her dad dying. Basically, Silent Hill 1 and 3 never happened, and the entire thing was just an invention of Heather's to pass her dad off as a big hero, and to re-assign blame from herself to forces beyond her control, followed by revenge in 3. Presumably she was imagining all of this while she was in a fucking straight jacket.
It's sorta like how in Silent Hill 2 James is so traumatized by killing his wife that he invents a bunch of shit about getting a letter from her saying to meet her in Silent Hill after she's been dead for 3 years, when in reality the game takes place about two or three days after she dies; if I remember right, there's a part that implies Mary's corpse is even in the trunk of his car. Although I think the "Heather is fucking completely insane" angle Shattered Memories might or might not present is pretty creative and dark and awesome, I'm not sure whether to consider it canon or not. |
Yeah, it's sort of a stretch, but fuck you, half the fun of Silent Hill is reading into it too much.
