Silent Hill 4: The Room

Sh4.pngThe Road to 21
Heney Townshend never had to leave his home to arrive in Silent Hill. Trapped inside his South Ashfield apartment, room 302, Henry is locked inside his room for five days with no way of contacting the outside world. All the while, he has recurring nightmares that begin to blur the line between reality and fiction.

Henry discovers holes forming in the walls of his apartment that inexplicably lead to Silent Hill. He rnters one of the portals and appears in an abandoned subway, where he meets Cynthia Velazquez. Henry's time with Cynthia is cut short, however, as an unknown assailant kills her. When Henry returns to the real world, he receives confirmation via the radio that the real life Cynthia Velazquez was indeed found dead. He then travels back to Silent Hill and discovers more visitors to the strange dimension and, just like Cynthia, everyone Henry meets mysteriously dies in the real world.

Henry investigates further and discovers newspaper clippings that detail the murder spree of Walter Sullivan. He also discovers that Walter was an orphan who believed that his biological mother was Henry's mother. As Henry delves further into the mystery, he discovers that Walter is trying to perform a ritual requiring the murders of 21 victims. After murdering 21 people, the 21 Sacraments will be complete, thus enabling him to purify his mother. Although no longer living, Walter can travel through the portals to Silent Hill to kill in his undead state.

Henry discovers that he is the intended twenty-first victim. His only way to escape Silent Hill is to kill Walter. Joined by the intebded twentieth victim, Eileen Galvin, Henry discovers the umbilical cord connecting Walter to his mother, then uses it as a tool to kill Walter. With Walter gone, the threat of the 21 Sacraments disappears and Henry leaves Walter's twisted dimension.
