Sir, you are joking.
SH1 is about a man who has lost his daughter after a car accident.
Except his daughter isn't his birth daughter, he adopted her.
He learns that his daughter has a twin and even finds her birth mother. His adopted daughter was a girl who was birthed in to this world with no father to a virgin mother in a similar fashion to Moses or Jesus Christ. the twin is found but his daughter cannot be uncovered in the bizarre town that occasionally dips in to a surreal hell. The twin, only found in flashes and leaving clues is the exact opposite of your daughter mentally.
A strange cult some odd years ago felt that the child, birthed by the virgin mother was evil, they tried to kill her through purification. Burning the little girl as a witch.
But she wouldn't die.. just char and scream in agony. There was a fire in the town...
Did I mention the town is the same place that rituals and the occult have been used for over 150 years and was a prime location of bizarre torture during the civil war which has created a kind of severing gash in the places between realities and the afterlife? This is implied, not directly mentioned. Moving on.
The cult is still around in this Silent Hill where the world ends at its edges. It's quite literally a limbo, a real ghost town where time has frozen as the real Silent Hill is just an abandoned and burned ruin. This place cant end and reality cant be found until that strange girl, who's now almost 30 has both her 'pieces' brought back to her and her 'murder' avenged. Your adopted daughter and the twin; This woman, still in the basement of the hospital, still bleeding, was able to keep the limbo going and bring anguish and personal hell in to the lives of anyone responsible, or anyone indirectly tied to Silent Hill. Her body broken and destroyed, she was able to find access in to the world again with a body but her anguish had turned her insane, but her purity couldn't be denied. It formed two people, her light and dark halves. One would stay in the real world, adopted by Harry. The other would stay in Silent Hill. The cult wants to keep her from collecting her missing 'pieces' but when it finally does happen, the limbo ends.
A new baby is born, a collection of all 3 ladies. The messiah who was originally destroyed at the hands of man has a new chance again. Harry scoops up the baby and raises it as his own.
Some things to consider is that near the end of the story, we discover drawings of that 30 year old woman when she was a child. In the drawings, we learn that she was afraid of the nurses that cared for her (and despised their beauty). Gorillas, dogs and even dinosaurs on some pages with teeth bared. The enemies you faced in the game were all from a little girl's imagination of the things she feared and hated. That's from the game, not implied. Pyramid Head, i'm unsure. He could be the protector, he could be something the mother created from her mind and he could just be a leftover from the scars on Silent Hill left to wonder its limbo aimlessly. Maybe our resident SH guru can help us with that one.
The other things Weltall is mentioning is the beauty in the implied and the result of good writing. The constantly falling ash, the police officer's role, the camera angles and the strange 'Christ-like' figure who warns you. The burned corpses of children who stalk you in the school's halls and the myriad of absolutely stunning and bizarre puzzles that test your IQ and play directly to the temperment of the story and its characters.
Ruin those things in this venture and he's right... all is lost. One slip of continuity and you stab the heart of your entire installed base.
