Somewhere in America, there is a lake, and a town right next to it. It's a very beautiful town and people always liked to go there.
At some point, people noticed that many of the people that came there were bad people who did bad things. There was a lot of killing in the name of made up gods, there were desasters, it was all very bad. And soon the town needed prisons and churches and hospitals for the sick of mind.
Before the town could be destroyed by all the bad people, religion helped to keep them busy and secret, and they wrote down explanations and stories to make sense of it, and this religion became very powerful and influenced everything that happened in the city.
And still the town on the lake was beautiful, and people started to like to go there again. The town build hotels and motels and grew bigger and bigger!
But at the same time, the religious people got crazier and crazier. They felt like this town was special, and they tried to explain why it made people bad, and one day they decided that if they could just capture and use that power, they could turn the town into paradise!
But they were crazy, you see. Just like the religious people many years before that, they thought that the best way to talk to the town was to kill and torture innocent people and offer them to the town as gifts. So they did that a lot. And they tried using drugs to make people look at the town the same way that they did.
One day, a crazy woman and a doctor made a plan: Instead of killing people, they would make a baby, one that would have the power of the town inside of it! And so they did. But it didn't work. The baby girl seemed to be just a normal baby girl, but when she grew up and went to school, the other children didn't like her very much, and called her a witch, and she never had any friends, and only her mother, the crazy woman, to love her. And the girl did love her mother.
And then something terrible happened. The mother and the doctor were frustrated that the girl wasn't as powerful as they wanted. So they decided to kill her, just like the others, in the hopes that this would please the town. They locked her in a house and set her on fire. And then they let the little girl burn, and she burned and suffered terribly!
But she didn't die. And nobody understood why. The girl was locked in the house, burned, in pain, suffering, trying to understand what had happened to her, trapped in her world of misery. The crazy woman and the doctor just left her there, and the only company she had was a nurse the doctor had drugged and forced to look after the little girl.
Did I mention yet how crazy that woman was? The first thing she did after trying to kill the girl was to convince the doctor to have yet another baby! Maybe it would work this time!
And so they did. But again it didn't work. And then something happened that they didn't intend: The nurse, scared that they would burn the second child also, took the baby away! And she drove away from that town, and left it somewhere for someone, someone normal, to find. Nobody knows what happened to the nurse, but they say the doctor found her, or she came back to him because of the drugs, and he killed her. Someone did find the girl. A young man, whose wife had died, found the little girl and adopted her.
And for seven years, they lived a happy life. And he loved her very much.
Until one day, the man decided to take his daughter for a holiday. He put her in the back seat, and they drove to what the man has heard was a beautiful holiday resort. The very town his daughter had come from: Silent Hill.
This is where the first game begins.
