Alessa was not evil and was not dividing herself to protect Cheryl from herself and she expected Cheryl to at least be able to live hapilly for sometime. Alessa was really trying to delay the birth of the Order's God, and suffered immensely because it was growing inside of her.
Evil Kurt cobain
I have to assume that’s where they got the design. Kurt wore a bloody gown like that too it’s just too similar to be coincidence.
He too has Kurt Cobain'ed himself if you know what I mean
If only Walter was sent to any other orphanage
Yeah, you've got to wonder what the parents' motivations were for abandoning him as well.
I guess that you could infer that the cult had people all throughout the local community, including multiple hospitals within Silent Hill itself, so skipping town and having the birth occur in secret could have been an attempt at giving him a better life, which backfired horribly when he ended up getting sent straight back to the cult, without any parents to protect him from the abuse and indoctrination.
I think that there's a very clear through line of child abuse throughout the initial Silent Hill quadrilogy and the damage that it does to people growing up in that environment (SH2 is probably the only case wherein the abuse victim is a side character, so I don't think it's confirmed that they were members of the cult, but SH1 & 3 are very clearly about teenage girls getting impregnated against their will and SH4 has Walter undergoing a childhood of abuse in a cult-operated orphanage before ending up as a psychologically damaged person with serious psychosexual issues. It's definitely not much of a stretch to infer that the cult are paedophiles in addition to their goal of bringing about the end times)
Well I guess he preferred making methamphetamine...
@@casanovafunkenstein5090this is an amazing take on the silent hill games
Fullmetal alchemist at the beginning of the video is a great parallel to Walter's story: the rebirth of the "mother" and the sacrifice for that...
My man!
In the eyes of a child ,Mother is God. Also women are the closest to God, sacrificing their body to build, grow, and expell life into the world. I wish there were more media about motherhood
Women are the closest thing to God. Literally risking death to push a new life, dropping all vices, and sacrificing the body to grow and build a new life. I was built inside you, I'm here because of you, you must continue protecting and loving me like no one could(hopefully 😂)

I'm a man & I agree with you.
😳🤯 dude that’s a very cool perspective! The occult in the game talks about alchemy.
FullMetal Walter 🦾
"Local man becomes serial killer after growing up without mommy milkies"
Ain't no way
Kind of sounds like the Homelander.
this comment outta pocket 💀
Ayooooo 💀💀💀💀😆😆
Good content, Walter always gave me conflicting feelings ): he’s tragic if anything. Abandoned, brainwashed, and going absolutely mad trying to achieve something he believed would finally bring him peace. The only “good” killings are those that abused the many orphaned children and that worked with or for the Order 😪
Poor Walter. Another product of cult manipulation and that dang ol' Dahlia.
@@Callyxi right?! Sometimes I wonder if there were other occultists like them such as Vincent & Leonard. So many secrets so little Konami not giving a shit about the goldmine their fatasses are sitting on.
I totally agree. Even crazier when Walter kidnaps his little boy self! I was like “don’t hurt him! He’s you! Like a son!”🥺😖
You can be both a victim and a perpetrator
Walter is probably still alive 😳 dude he was crazy in all the other levels. Chainsaw, two tommy guns, smack you in the nuts with a longer pipe and a 44 Magnum pistol 🔫 to piss you off. And he teleports lol. So powerful and yet I couldn’t help but to like him. He went off man, probably one of the most underrated cool villains that you felt for in gaming history imo.
“Don’t go out Walter”
Actually I always wanted to know what that meant on the door 🤔 keeping his evil trapped forever, was it Joseph that wrote that? Anyways great work dude! Keeping the series alive 🗡🕯
I like to think he's still haunting Henry and Eileen but he can only do regular ghost stuff now. Like lowering temperatures in rooms or making a door slam occasionally.
@@morganalabeille5004 that’s interesting actually. Giving them nightmares every now and then ahaha
THIS silent hill needs a remake. Imagine this story but with gameplay that's drastically improved.
will be a banger for sure
I forever hope this will happen
I've been saying this, they remade the wrong silent hill
I agree completely. I think they can improve Henry a bit as well and make it more evident how he's supposed to be relatable for the players. Maybe they can be more direct about some minor details, such as him being a photographer and being introverted.
Waltuh...
I like to think the chocolate milk and the wine bottle in Henry's fridge are suppose to represent the Walter's
1:14 his dad looks strangely like Michael Myers in this clip 😂
SH4 is my second favorite SH game, upon release I bought it for the original Xbox so long ago. I still have it to this day.
Rad 🕯🗡
Please make one of these for every new game that is coming out that is worth making this sort of melodramatic 'true crime podcast' style video about - I promise you will go viral eventually.
That sounds like a great idea, I'll give it a shot and see where it goes.
@Callyxi Excited to follow along with your channel.
walter gives me such conflicting feelings. on one hand, he is a fully grown man that should be held accountable for his own actions. no one told him to kill people, and it's not like he was completely isolated. he should know killing is wrong, even if his view of the world is irreversibly twisted. he killed a lot of people, a good portion of them innocent (and some deserving)
on the other hand, there's something so tragic about a man who is so desperate to see his mom, so desperate to meet the one person he believed would make everything better and shield him from the horrors of the world. just wanting to feel safe and loved, but being deprived of it throughout his entire life until he became so desperate for it that he would do anything. even that which he knows is terribly wrong
in the end, I hold walter accountable for his own actions as an adult, but I still recognize the way he turned out is not entirely his own fault. dahlia and other cult members were equally responsible for the deaths of 21 people, and I still completely understand walters motivations and very much empathize with him, while still disagreeing with his actions. i can't fault a person for just wanting to see their mother though, it's such a human thing and my heart hurts so much for little walter, and even adult walter to an extent
I can agree with that last statement for sure. It seems Walter already had an disposition towards manipulation and they used that weakness and exploited it.
Walter either killed 18, 19 or 26 people. One of the sacraments was himself after all. If he kills Henry, another 6 people die as a result of that.
Someone did tell him to kill people. George Rosten, a priest in the order, specifically groomed Walter to perform the 21 sacraments. He's described as having let Valtiel into Walter's subconscious. He ended up as Walter's sixth victim.
I wonder why Frank was never chosen as one of the sacraments. He's the man who took Walter from 302. Maybe he's a member of the Order. Maybe it was his idea for James and Mary to vacation in Silent Hill. Maybe he saw James as a potential sacrifice to the town's God during the events of Silent Hill 2.
That's a good question. Perhaps it was just due to his lack of interaction with Walter that ended up sparing him from being a sacrament. Or the developers were like lets give these Sunderlands a break!
This is such a great video. Thanks for making this!
I love your videos! keep it up dude
Thanks a ton!
No pity for killers. Many people were abused but not all become killers. Before taking such action we have a brain and conscience to decide
I 100% agree with that statement.
💯 agreed!!
Sure but I think moral considerations are somewhat different when it's a fictional killer in a heightened supernatural setting
Just found this channel. Was a great video....I look forward to more of your content (especially if it silent hill related)...Subbed
I'm binge watching your SH lore videos at the moment.
loved it! glad i've stumbled across this video :)
Hey thanks for stopping by!
Waltuh
Out of all of the SIlent Hill games, this was the most horrifying.
I always felt bad for Walter. If he had a good life and maybe a good mother and father,he could’ve lived as a normal,happy,healthy man instead of a terrifying,brainwashed,murderous hobo whose been nothing more than a puppet for The Order.
Yeah unfortunately he was screwed from the very beginning.
@@CallyxiI would blame the parents way more than the cult, because they brought him into this world. I have a feeling that Walter's mother wanted a baby persistently and his abuser husband gave in out of annoyance, I believe Walter's father is very cheap because he didn't want to pay medical bills for the pregnancy, so he did the cheaper way by helping his wife. The moment Walter came out of the womb, he got fed up with a crying baby that he decided to threaten his wife to leave their son. This is the most disgusting act, if you really think about it, the parents'actions led to the deaths of many and almost indirectly created an apocalypse, depending on the ending you get.
I always felt the 21 Sacraments ending was the best, narratively, in the game.
It almost seems like the proper ending anyways cuz every other ending is fucked or just weird/off. Even Eileen saying that “I guess we can go back to our apartment now” after years and watching lore it made me think she was still possessed, possibly walter trying to lure both of them back to be sacrificed cuz walter technically can’t fucking die. Man SH4 definitely brought a different light into the series. Still beats aaaall the American Silent Hill games. Do you know which ones I’m talking about 😌
@@JaketheJedi23 Absolutely! I do indeed know which ones you're talking about. I only played Origins, and read up on the others. Totally apocryphal to the Team Silent series every bit as much as the movies are. Now P.T., on the other hand, I will say actually showed potential and channeled SH4's first-person vantage. P.T.'s incorporation of the radio was uniquely done that it wasn't the dead giveaway it might have been if they directly copied the static effect of SH1-3. But you nevertheless, in true SH fashion, can hear it whenever Lisa materializes in the hall. Aside from its final reveal cutscene of course, the load screen's use of a minimalistic Halo of the Sun was probably the strongest single indicator it was an SH title.
It's the one where everyone dies, the worst ending right? Even though Walter does succeed in his ritual, that ritual ultimately only accomplished what the Order sought to do--spread the influence of "God". In the last scenes with this ending, Walter does not look happy, he looks like he's in a state of cold rage. A possible qualifier to this is what he did to Henry's body, mutilating it to near unrecognizable. He also murdered several people unrelated to his goal, as well as Frank Sunderland--the one who sent him to live at the Wish House. With his split younger self now seemingly 'bonded' with room 302, older Walter and the ghosts of his past victims continue to haunt the real world place, attacking all who venture too close to his 'mom'. This is why other apartment tenants afterwards had been suffering from severe chest pains--the ghosts try to grab and crush your heart.
It was definitely one of the most downer endings of any of the 4 original games, and reminds us of how dangerous the Order really is.
this is one case where i prefer the bad ending.
Silent Hill needs another game that's less about the order and whatever, and more like this.
Someone who just so happens to have powers but does ordinary criminal things with them.
I would be down for that.
5:52 “Forgive me Lisa. There is a monster inside of me.”
Did anyone else cried when you were done with SH 4?
No but almost.
i felt so bad when little walter fell to the floor :(
@@jukudollisame here watching the gameplay and shit, was he just a figment of imagination? Or was he just apart of the Walters spirit?
Thanks for this video! I'm preparing new material on game studies and horror, and this one helps 😊
Thanks for stopping by and do you care to elaborate a little?
Tender Sugar is such a banger..
Walter the most tragic character
in the silent hill franchise.
14:34 i would argue that none of this benefits walter he is simply following a path laid down before him and why it's so important that we don't abuse/abandon the innocent for they become the things of nightmares the real monsters that walk among us the power of hate has always been the silence on that hill
Walter sounds low-key similar to homelander
