Silent Hill: Homecoming | FULL GAME | Complete Playthrough No Commentary [4K/60fps]

What was your favourite part of SIlent Hill: Homecoming?

can you go first person in this game

Why my ending different?

This game is the weakest of the core six entries (Silent Hill, 2, 3, 4: The Room, Homecoming and Downpour)... And yet it's still a solid game. It's just that it has the misfortune of being a Silent Hill game not developed by Team Silent, which thus flies in the face of the original concept of the series (Western horror by Japanese devs) and dooms it to comparison with those other, superior titles.

TRIVIA:
At first when Alex gets off the stretcher, there's a clock in that room. It's the only clock in the game that seems to work, it wasn't even two o'clock in the morning yet. then there's an entity that's killing the doctors of the place, and when the protagonist tries to escape at 2:06 in the morning (time of the accident) something doesn't let him out of alchemilla. so the nightmare begins within the nightmare, from there time's stopped and everything takes place in alex's childhood in S.Glen in the 80's. you'll see objects from alex's childhood scattered around the scenarios, and also relics such as old cars and public heritages. in this case this game is timeless.. (however there're endings where he actually escaped from alchemilla)

When you arrive in S.Glen, next to Dr.fitch's office there's the city bank with 4 lights on, 3 of which're bright and the last one's almost off (symbolizing the 4 families). suggesting that the bank's still active with secret meetings, throughout the game the building remains linked with people on the premises arguing who knows what. It's one of the mysteries of the game that everything's abandoned but the financial part of the city's still in full swing! kidnappings have become a kind of business..

if you look at alex's house from the outside, it's empty giving the impression that the shepherds have moved but when you enter the house, it's fully furnished but completely abandoned (the mirrors still reflect no furniture inside). looking through the backyard in the kitchen part this becomes more apparent (giving a paranormal air of the house being an ancestral ghost of the city).

the woman locked in the hotel can also be the manifestation of alex's mother living in the world of the dead and he living in the world of the living, both're separated by a hole in the door that looks like the mouth of a monster. the 3 memories illustrate "the day of the accident" and why his mother was catatonic, it's implied that she committed suicide with that old gun and alex's at his doorstep talking to her. there're layers of SH that you can only reach if you're dead.. (there're also indications that it was curtis who built the machine that Lillian is trapped in, then it's possible to see his mother's corpse smiling.. of relief perhaps)

in the dr.fitch office there's an underground passage that leads to SH, this otherworld passage's the mix of a hospital and the institution that alex's in at the beginning of the game. some hallways're the same as the protagonist walks in the prologue. It's also more apparent that Alex's exploring the characters' minds and their memories\secrets..

this game starts in the late afternoon and culminates in a red dawn, it's notable that there's a change of climate similar to the original games. it was the first time anyone came out during the otherworld outdoors, alex was the only protagonist who saw the parallel world from the outside.

There're Alex's toys locked in the attic of the house (also in the audio of the tape, Alex's father tells him to "go down the stairs") implying that Alex was locked in the attic and forced to sleep alone there (a dark place full of spider webs and venomous animals) in the infernal version, there're 4 monsters that represent each member of the family (in the attic there're 3 schism which're the dead Josh, the catatonic mother and Alex crouched in the corner of the attic) and in the lower part of the house there're the more aggressive schism who is alex's father. What confirms this symbolism're the four mannequins that're in the same position (including one lying down and the other propped up in the corner).

if you analyze the drawings and read the descriptions, it's understood that there's an urban legend in S.Glen related to the lake (that's why the docks gate's sealed) by an alleged man who threw himself into lake toluca years ago, this story was told to scare the local children and this collective fear manifests itself as the executioner that exists in the game. So in the part where alex's with josh at the lake, james's still decomposed there in the depths and on the other side of the lake's possibly the abandoned car with a dead body locked in back seat. James' wife belongs to the same family tree as Alex (The Shepherds) although they're not related (in a promotional diary: Alex's mother was invited to attend a funeral for a childhood friend, but the funeral never took place) There's a misterious tomb named "someone's wife" in the Dargento Cemetery, but this grave has never been used.

Next to Curtis' junkyard's an abandoned mine that possibly became a secret passage to SH in the final stage of the game. The lair was where people were taken to be tortured and killed by order. it's located in the basement of the church, the only sacred place in the city where it's not affected by the other world. In Curtis' warehouse, many belongings of everyone who lived in the city're hidden and also the special clothes that Curtis wore.

There're x-rays in alchemilla that show injuries that the protagonist suffered at the end of the game (including the brother and the judge) means that this game's upside down: it starts at the end and ends at the beginning, if you reverse the acts, it's alex going from the day of the accident to the hospitalization in alchemilla in the prologue. crazy huh? still characteristic the journey starts in a way and turns into a whirlwind.. there's a real pyramid involving judges, politicians, doctors and police forces\dynastic families (as if everything happens in our world and not just in a nightmare).

The layers of Alex personality are represented by fog (sadness) and coming from the other world (hatred\resentment), how he feels at every moment depending on what is discovered\revealed.

This game is introspective as f00k! more than it seems..

I remember this game use to scare the shit out of me as a kid never was able to get past the part when your in the house basement 😂

The brightness is a bit iffy in some parts. Other than that, nice video. Thanks for sharing.

I love Silent Hill, and gone through most of the games except for this one, which I started but never got to finish it due to my lack of time. It’s gonna take me some time to watch this through, but dropping my like in advance bro! 😎👍

Awesome playthru, you played it very thoughtful, didn't rush from one place to another and let us viewer take in the setting and mood. Good stuff.😅

They definitely leaned in to the Jacob's Ladder inspiration of Silent Hill in the beginning of this game.

Will there be a noobs guide for silent hill homecoming? I know know its not a great game but its better than whatever konami has planned for Silent Hill right now

Haven't finished this video yey but wanted to say thanks for your videos/thanks for playing. I appreciate your channel so much. Watching all these playthroughs gives me a lot of peace and joy.

Oh its! Just you!! 😅

My fave Silent Hill. It does have its cliches, but the developers had some great ideas, and they worked very hard at creating an entirely new town and set of people with an established history.
If there was ever a remake, just make it from the kids perspective and see the downfall of the town. That would be pretty cool. Alex and the remaining families would be the last generation for this cult, bc they rely directly on a bloodline, unlike the other branches where it seems anyone could enter.

why you write in the title "4K/60fps" if the video is not 4k?

I miss a mic 😢

These graphics look significantly better than the ol' ps3 ones I remember 👀🤔 did you do something different dude??

Thanks for the post 😊😊😊

Ive never played this one. As a huge fan of the series, ive failed to play any after silent hill 4. But i do love to watch gameplays so i can get the story. Cant wait to join later!

Favorite part of homecoming is either the silent hill penitentiary or the police station.

For any questions or concerns regarding the quality of this playthrough, please look at the editor note in the description. Thanks :)
