Trapped in this inhospitable world, Heather is forced to fight for her life. Grotesque apparitions and lumpen shapes shadow her every move, while an army of grotesque creatures lurk in dark corners and rooms. Armed with whatever she can find – including pistols, a sub-machine gun and a piece of steel pipe – Heather must fend off their advances while solving the mysteries that will gradually piece together why she is trapped in this hellish, insane world.

Silent Hill 3 represents a huge advance for the groundbreaking horror series. The incredibly high resolution and incredible aesthetic detail of the PC game brings the game's dark corridors and blood stained rooms to life. Likewise, the unusual camera angles, eerie sound effects and Yamaoka-san's haunting musical stings ensure the player is kept in a permanent state of trepidation.

The game's horrific mutated adversaries are also of note, with the brief glimpses seen as the game progresses compounded when they are seen in all their horrific, flesh-eating glory. Together, these elements create a truly engrossing and unsettling experience, with Silent Hill 3 constantly surprising the player with innovative gameplay and plot twists.
