Re: Matt Murdock v. Silent Hill
(Anonymous) 2015-07-04 02:04 am (UTC)(link)"Vices and trauma" is an excellent description. The town also puts out feelers and baits its traps. James is baited by the appearance of Maria, who resembles his wife - I can see Matt being baited in a similar way, even as he fights his way through the town and realizes that he's being pulled deeper and deeper into the trap. So someone who smells and sounds like his friends, even when he knows it isn't true. Or a young child character that the town forces him to protect (until the town rips the kid away and drives him even deeper into despair.) To spin off Silent Hill 3 a little bit, it would also be cool if the town gave him little hope spots. Your idea about his friends possibly being trapped is great, especially if it's something nerve wracking to an introvert like Matt. Ringing phones in random rooms - Matt picks them up only to hear Foggy or Karen on the other end, begging for help or giving him cryptic messages, anything that stresses him even more.
Silent Hill has very few constants, anything mind bending, weird, or disgusting would fit. Matt's personal fears also play a big part - he would fear being left alone and abandoned, he would also fear making a mistak and going after the wrong person. Like say he went up against a monster that screamed like a little kid everytime he hit it or when it vomited acid on him. Silent Hill could even conjour an old boxer's gym to fuck with him.
I love spitballing like this, thinking of new ways to break Matt is awesome. :D Silent Hill is purgatory on earth but if you can survive it and absorb the lessons of your own pain then chances are good you'll be a much better person at the end.
(Maybe the story ends after Matt has made it out - Foggy gets a phone call from a pay phone and it's Matt crying that he wants to come home. Weeks spent being brave inside the town and he breaks as soon as he hears Foggy's panicked "Matt! Where are you, are you okay?!")

(Anonymous) 2015-07-05 12:08 am (UTC)(link)which silent hill game is most recommended? i figure probably the ones with heather, james, or harry, but you guys tell me.
Re: Matt Murdock v. Silent Hill
(Anonymous) 2015-07-05 04:06 am (UTC)(link)I would start with Silent Hill 2, it's a standalone adventure and doesn't have much to do with th town's past. Silent 1 and 3 are connected but the first is so damn old I wouldn't blame you if you skipped it. Silent Hill 3 is really solid though and you can jump right in to it.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-04 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)Also, since he fears damnation and sees a "world on fire," there could be quite a few hell motifs throughout. And devils (maybe he's stalked by a monster version of his Daredevil suit?)

(Anonymous) 2015-07-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)Personalized monsters come and go. There's an overarching antagonist to each game but Heather's monster helps more than it hurts (for a given value of "help") and in Downpour the protagonist literally becomes his game mascot.
The important thing to remember with SH is that the greatest monster is ultimately yourself. Matt is deeply conflicted about Daredevil but ultimately he accepts DD as a part of himself. Daredevil would certainly manifest in a way that terrifies and screws with Matt. However I can't see DD ultimately hurting him because Matt believes Daredevil is a force for good.
But Daredevil doing things like forcing Matt to listen to him torture other inhabitants of Silent Hill? Killing a Foggy/Karen avatar, over and over again as Matt listens? That I can see, particularly since DD is an instrument of justice. Matt won't be free of Silent Hill until he realizes that the Daredevil avatar is manifests his own guilt and desire to punish himself and that he needs to let it go.
