Silent Hill 2 is a survival horror game developed by Bloober Team and published by Konami Digital Entertainment in 2024. It is a retelling of the 2001 video game of the same name, reinterpreted with a new script, new story threads and alternate endings, and reworked puzzles and gameplay.

In this playthrough we cover:

Toluca Prison (Part 2):

James explores the Armory, where he gathers the prison maps and comes across a locked rifle case. Exploration of Cell Blocks A, C, D, Death Row, and the Infirmary reveals disturbing inmate memos, symbolic clay tablets, and references to an unknown disease, all mirroring James’s internal decay. The prison’s central trial revolves around collecting six ritual weights, obtained through deadly encounters like overloading the electric chair generator, surviving large-scale monster swarms, and navigating the showers and basement cells. These weights are used in the Prison Yard Scales Puzzle, forcing James to literally balance judgment before activating the gallows. The chapter culminates in the Gallows Riddle, where James must determine which condemned prisoner was “justified,” leading him through the morgue and into another abyss that delivers him to the Labyrinth, marking a deeper descent into Silent Hill’s psychological horror.

Labyrinth:

James awakens inside the Labyrinth, a surreal, shifting maze disguised as a decaying apartment complex that immediately begins blurring memory, trauma, and reality. As he explores identical hallways and follows fleeting glimpses of Angela Orosco, James is stalked by the grotesque Abstract Daddy, a manifestation of Angela’s abuse that forces tense chase sequences before culminating in a brutal boss fight centered on melee survival rather than gunfire. Destroying televisions throughout the maze strips away the apartment illusion, revealing a cold, industrial nightmare beneath and deepening the game’s psychological themes of repression and violence. After defeating Abstract Daddy, James sketches the Labyrinth Center Map and encounters a massive rotating cube puzzle that physically reshapes the environment. The chapter ends with James reuniting briefly with Maria, now imprisoned behind bars, before the rotating cube grants access to the Rotten Area, signaling an even deeper descent into Silent Hill’s symbolic machinery.
