Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Also known as: SHSM
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.

Description
About This Game
A true Survival Horror re-imagined for the next gen that watches you
and adapts to expose your innermost fears.
The story follows Harry Mason, who wakes up after a car accident to find
that his daughter Cheryl is missing. Harry will wander the snowy streets
of Silent Hill searching for answers of her disappearance, but when the
world freezes over, he will need to escape the lumbering demons that
haunt his steps. Harry will need to navigate both worlds to discover the
truth; not just about his missing daughter, but also the type of person
he actually is.
Silent Hill's debut on the Nintendo Wii makes the fear more real than
ever before. Players will be drawn into the mysterious town using the
Wii Remote as a flashlight and a cellphone as they search for clues.
Choices they make will shape Harry Mason, as well as the people he meets
and the places he visits. The enemies evolve as well, taking the form of
the player's deepest fears. Silent Hill promises to be more terrifying
than ever, bringing the fear to the Wii.
A re-imagining of the original Silent Hill that turns everything you
thought you knew on its head.
The game watches you and adapts to your actions to create a unique
experience to each player and intensify their fears.
Implementation of a cell phone as the user interface, which acts as a
story telling device, map, puzzle helper, and camera that provides
seamless flow with no interruption in gameplay.
New nightmare sequence focus on escape and evasion rather than direct
confrontation.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will feature an all-new
soundtrack by acclaimed series composer Akira Yamaoka
