"Everyone, please think about this carefully."
"At the beginning, the male host inside the radio reported this murder case."
"Then toward the end of the game, the man in the radio explained the reason behind the protagonist's killing."
"In the end, it was still that same man, using a coaxing and tempting tone to lure the protagonist into hanging himself."
"This means that the information claiming the protagonist was the murderer actually came from the radio, from beginning to end!"
"It was never an established fact!"
"Looking at the hidden clues we collected, first of all there's that family portrait. The smiles of the three family members are all brilliant, which shows that the protagonist was very satisfied with his own family!"
"And then there's the sentence on the back of the photo, which also tells us not to believe the man in the radio!"
"This proves that everything the radio said was fake. The deaths of the wife and child likely have another cause."
As Benjamin presented his analysis, the viewers in the live stream finally understood at this moment:
"Holy shit, when you analyze it like that, it actually makes a lot of sense!!"
"Yeah, I only just realized. The fact that the protagonist is the killer was something the radio kept feeding us the whole time, and we subconsciously believed it!"
"So we've actually been deceived all along, thinking we were playing as a murderer?"
"The way this plot is arranged is simply brilliant!!"
"If we hadn't discovered the hidden clues, we probably would have always believed the protagonist was a perverted killer!"
While the viewers marveled at this sudden plot twist, Benjamin's voice continued:
"Besides that, I actually have another guess. There was never any ghost wife or little girl ghost in the house at all."
"The only real ghost in the house is the radio!"
"To verify my guess, after achieving the perfect ending, I started a new save file and played through once more."
In the video, Benjamin indeed began a new game.
This time, he did not collect any hidden clues, nor did he honestly follow the normal gameplay route.
Instead, right from the start, he smashed the radio that had been babbling nonstop!
The moment he smashed it, the dark and gloomy atmosphere in the corridor vanished, and bright light from outside shone in through the windows!
Then, Benjamin directly pushed open the front door, and that gray, foggy street area appeared before the viewers' eyes just like that!
Perfect ending achieved successfully!
The viewers were instantly dumbfounded.
"HA?! You can seriously just clear it like this?"
"And you get the perfect ending directly?!"
"So the game could actually be this simple?!"
"We were getting scared half to death by the female ghost in the corridor! Turns out you could play it this way!"
Benjamin spoke excitedly as well.
"Everyone, did you see that? As long as I destroy that radio, the ghosts in the corridor and the infinite looping hallway will no longer appear!!"
"The game goes straight into the perfect ending!"
"This further proves one thing. The loops, the female ghost, all of it were just illusions created by the radio. Once the ghost radio is destroyed, the corridor is nothing more than an ordinary hallway!"
"So, we can even clear this game in under a minute!"
"Just smash the radio right at the beginning!!!"
This time the viewers were completely stunned and confused.
"So that's how it is. Holy shit, this setup is absolutely genius!!!"
"I'd give the game's story design a perfect 100 points!"
"I was getting tormented to death by the female ghost in the corridor, but the radio was the real ghost all along!"
"This tells us that if you put effort in the wrong direction, you'll never succeed!"
"This perfect playthrough video of Silent Hill is now coming to an end! I've already shown everyone all the plot analysis I could provide!"
Finally, Benjamin's fervent voice rang out.
"At the same time, I officially announce right here that from now on, I am a die-hard fan of New World Studio!"
"Silent Hill PT is no longer simply a game in my heart."
"I am willing to call it a work of art!"
"In the future, I will support every single game released by New World Studio to the very end!"
Benjamin's video of perfectly clearing Silent Hill could be said to be even more explosive than his previous video.
This time, what the players paid attention to was no longer the game's horror elements, but its plot!
They were all deeply shocked by the winding and layered story setup in Silent Hill!
A game with a total playtime of less than half an hour actually had both a clear surface plot and a hidden plot.
If you only saw the surface plot, then it was simply a story about the protagonist killing his wife and daughter, followed by the vengeful ghosts.
After finishing, you might even curse out the protagonist and vent your anger.
Only if you reached the hidden plot would you realize that the protagonist was innocent. The players had merely been fooled by the radio the entire time.
Everything before their eyes was an illusion. The real ghost had been manipulating everything from behind the scenes!
