A prequel to the Silent Hill series, Silent Hill: Origins is a game in the 1970s. When you play the game, you take on the role of Travis Grady, a trucker who, late one night, finds himself running behind schedule and decides to take a shortcut through Silent Hill.
You will be required to crawl through mirrors to transition between the dream and actual versions of the town, just like you did in the previous Silent Hill games. He must collect the objects needed to complete the riddles and gain access to new places. Monsters of varying varieties present challenges and, along with the established canon of the series, are typically frighteningly warped interpretations of humans.
Travis can fight using only his bare fists or with close-combat weaponry. In contrast to earlier entries in the series, melee weapons will eventually become unusable. In addition, various guns and things with a single use can be hurled. Lock-on is the method by which combat is conducted. Although there is no HUD, a red border appears around the screen if Travis is in danger of passing out.
