I really enjoyed reading this! Silent Hill 2 is such an interesting game, and I think it had a major influence on my taste in fiction. Everything about James and Mary's relationship and their tragedy gets me straight in the heart.
In Silent Hill, if James gets the Maria, In Water, or Revival endings, he gets his memory wiped and he finds himself in the bathroom again. Until he gets the Leave ending, he’s stuck in Silent Hill forever, permanently being punished.
I don't think I'd heard this interpretation before, and I'm really interested to know more about it!
