Silent Hill 4 (2004)
Happy 20th anniversary! It's my fave in the series :)
Henry is definitely related to Stanley
It's just a wip, but I have a few ideas for Henry x Walter. Of course Receiver of Wisdom is important to Walter!
„Why am I here? So that I can get to know his horrible, sad life and give support for him? Maybe, I'm here because we share something together? Did he choose me because I have to experience what he had in his entire life?”
Silent Hill 4 The Room, 2004
Every time I watch a video essay or LP on SH4, someone comments on Henry's... lack of affect and odd choices. While yes at its core it's really just a writing issue, I feel like a lot of people overlook that the man has been trapped in his apartment for nearly a week with naught but an empty wine bottle and some choccy milk in his fridge, along with recurring nightmares every time he sleeps so he's probably not well-rested either.
As an addendum that's more of a nitpick than anything, I am surprised and mildly irritated at the amount of people pronouncing the H in his last name. Though this is coming from somebody who has a silent letter in their last name that throws people wildly off target and has grown to resent it as a result (though in my case it's an obscure name that nobody says right to begin with and in the original language it's still different).
