They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Excerpt from “For the Fallen” by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943), first published in 1914
honestly, the inspirations for silent hill 2 were some of the best produced media’s ever. crime and punishment, jacob’s ladder, etc. it’s genuinely astonishing how well team silent managed to create something so similar yet so distinct at the same time. it did an outstanding job taking these parts of media and incorporating it into a game with a whole different plot.. i feel like i could ramble on about this game for hours, if u havent played silent hill 2 yet pls do!!!
