Silent Hill 2: "Born by desire"

Story The Evil Within began in October last year, but has not ended until now. Shinji Mikami, spitting on all fashion trends, created a very copyright work in which it is not like a double bottom – there is no bottom in it at all.

The Evil Within Not everyone will be able to know: someone will see in him only an old-fashioned and inconvenient action movie, someone-allusias for a bunch of horror about games with consciousness. But the truth will open only to those who are used to thinking wider. Who does not just play, but study, compares and draws conclusions. Last year, I have already set out in my essay “Sleep the Mind of Shinji Mikami” some guesses about the plot of the game (I advise you to read before starting this review), but now there is a reason to rummage over again. The Assignment brilliantly copes with his duty: he explains a little, a little complements the work, but, of course, as a result, he leaves even more questions.

Carefully! The whole review is one continuous spoiler The Evil Within. If you did not play the last work of Shinji Mikami, but still plan to, we advise you to immediately go to the verdict.

Mobius tape

By and large, in the plot The Evil Within Only two things were embarrassed: the fact that some locations were not clear where they came from, and the empty secondary characters with unclear motives. So here you are, please: The Assignment elegantly explains what the partners of Sebastian Castellanos did when they disappeared from sight why Joseph was covered with scabs and attacked the player, and Kidman so cynically betrayed her colleagues at the very end.

Everything is actually very simple, and you could guess this last year. Julia Kidman has never been a partner of Joseph and Sebastian Castellanos. It was recruited by the mysterious company Mobius, which invested in the STEM virtual reality car, to which the consciousness of all actors is connected. The task for the newly made agent is to find Autist Leslie, the operator of this whole system, and return it to reality. Alternative for Kidman – to go to jail, so there is no special choice. “All this may seem unrealistic to you,” they said. But what is reality when your brain is connected to a machine creating entire worlds?

► The mysterious employer Kidman does not show his face. Does he have it at all?

Events The Evil Within completely and completely unfold in virtuality. The world that Castellanos considered real is actually the second layer of “sleep”, as it was in ” Beginning »Christopher Nolan.Really woke up just one kidman, and even then for a few seconds. So they hired it after they connected it to STEM, – the blurry faces of the Bolvanchiks from the Moobius, which are applied to us at the very beginning The Assignment.

Just … what then to be considered real? And whether the Mobius company actually exists?

► STEM is unstable, and because of this, distinguishing reality from unreality is quite easy. Or maybe not ..

The virtual world collected from fragments of memory of people connected to STEM looks like one large collective nightmare. This, of course, is to blame for this, the scientist-sociopath Ruben, who has constructed the world and subjugated him to himself. But there is also a mysterious employer who invades the “dream” Kidman on God's rights. And then it becomes clear that the core of the system, Ruben himself, is the same victim as everyone else. Like the Mobius tape, in this story there is no external and inside – one quietly goes into another.

► Ruben Victoriano, the creator of the world, changed into a fashionable cloak and, as a true Creator, imagined himself. But is God really so?

There is such a thing – sleepy paralysis. According to statistics, everyone is worried at least once in his life, so if there was no one, wait, it will be. Speaking of the philistine language, this is a process, reverse lunatism. With lunatism, your mind is sleeping, but the body is awake, and during sleepy paralysis, on the contrary. Imagine for a minute: you wake up, open your eyes, see your room, hear the music to which you fell asleep … but you cannot move. The chest is squeezing, you are trying to break out of sleep, but paralysis, on the contrary, is more and more addicted to you. And then you see that Lucky Mister Casino someone is entering the room.

Black man.

It would seem that he is unreal, but at the same time – here he is, right in front of you, in your room. Stands and smiles at you. I assure you, at that moment you will consider the situation absolutely real. And you will not notice any face.

► New enemies are completely blind. But if you give yourself out, then very soon turn into a bloody mess.

IN The Evil Within There was no black man, only the creator of the STEM machine Ruben Victoriano and the generation of his sick consciousness. But thanks to The Assignment It becomes clear: all this time in the reality of Castellnos and Ruben there was someone else. And this is perhaps the main mystery of the "new season". And the main source of fear. None of us can be sure that our world is completely real, which means your personal black man is likely somewhere nearby. Perhaps behind you. Right now.

Blood Ban

Thanks to the personal tragedy, Sebastian Castellanos knew how to resist the will of Ruben and fight him – therefore, he received different weapons in virtuality, including the agony crossbow (speaking name, though?). Kidman has a different ability: they give a shot once, and the rest of the time you can only hide and open secret passages with a lantern. Kidman is a ray of light in this dark kingdom, a chiter that can change the rules of the game for himself. It is not clear whether she acquired her abilities thanks to a nasty character and a complex past (disobedience and violation of the laws-the horse of Julia), or the “cheat code” in the form of a flashlight was given to her admins from “Mobius”, but the fact remains: thanks to the light, thanks to the light the lanter in the world of Ruben appears new passages and the hidden.

But the virtual reality created by STEM is a completely closed ecosystem, and it is only worth the “Chiter” to appear in it, as the anti -citizen program immediately comes out – Light Woman. A terrible monster woven from the images of the Cidman subconscious (the image of the mother?). It is worth getting caught as Ban will follow immediately.

► Light Woman, a protective mechanism created by the world of Ruvik to neutralize Chiter, turned out to be frankly creepy. Where there is a safe -headed!

Secretive passage behind Kidman is seriously different from what was in the original campaign. Julia does not use weapons, does not know how to neutralize traps and the knife in the head of the monster cannot stick. But there was an opportunity to fully hide behind shelters and lure enemies. It turned out somewhere at the action level from the original: uncomfortable, very difficult, but intriguing.

There is no mention of any pumping, so it will not work out of a fragile girl-she dies from two strokes, she cannot run for a long time (the lady is actually in heels), and shelters are not found so often. The passage of the game for Kidman resembles a quest: there are much more riddles, the frontal clashes are almost absent, and the ball rules the player's ability to act carefully and accurately.

► If you find and hack all eight safe (they store the secrets of Ruben Victoriano, you remember?), then you can collect an intriguing letter, which probably hints at further events.

Each of us puts something into this world. Someone constructs trains, someone sweeps the streets, and someone writes to Gamery-it makes no difference, everyone makes a contribution. In the same way, the virtual reality of Ruben incorporates particles of consciousness and memory of all participants. Last year, even with my innate syndrome, I was able to determine not everything: from whose memory the gloomy town and the church were torn out, for example? But now everything fell into place. If you had questions during the passage The Evil Within , That The Assignment They will answer them. And at the same time sow the whole field of new.

► If the Comfort (and place of conservation) Sebastian Castellanos is a hospital, the entrance to which the “moonlight” of Debusses precedes, then Julia Kidman is a cute sofa with a black cat. Still, we play for the girl!

Events The Assignment, For example, they hint to us that STEM does not just create and supports the virtual world. Ruben Viktorino's car is also capable of generating parallel reality for each of its hostages! If you remember the story of Castellanos well, you can compare it with history The Assignment And make sure that. In a word, everything is more curious and curious!

* * *

In addition The Assignment Two more additions are planned. The first will finish the story of Kidman, and in the second we will be given to play for a safe, keeper of the secrets of Ruben Victoriano. But I think everything is a little different, and the last addition will show us the story of Ruben himself.

“He removed my mind from the core,” a note with such a text can be collected from Kidman shocks if it is careful enough. – He thinks he found a way to deceive me, but he is a fool. The brain is material. But my consciousness is ubiquitous. I can see them all: their memory, their hopes … their fear. And, penetrating into people, I absorb them all. Starting with the weakest. I am gaining more and more strength to continue my conquest. Where my world ends and reality begins? Now this line is blurred ".

There is no reality. There is only what your consciousness considers it. And this means that Ruvik can break out of the world generated by STEM, and gain power in it. IN " Matrix »We all saw that this is possible if we sincerely believe that Ḻ̠̱ͨ̆Ő͚̩͕̬̜̱͋ͨ̋̈zh̪̪̩͚̪̪̩͚͉̬̲̮͎͑ͧͯ̒͑ͧͯ̒͐̄̿̎ͅͅi͗̃ n̻̳̭̩̭̈̇ͪ͋ͣ̋̔e̮̠̙̹̤̺ͩͫ͒ͤͥt̟̻͕̞̰̓̆ͤͅ.

Site assessment

7.0

Fine

Verdict

At first it seems The Assignment – This is such an optional plot, a side line, like a “born desire” for Silent Hill 2. But in fact there is no. Thanks to the history of Julia Kidman The Evil Within becomes more fully and gains new plot faces. We really hope that the other two additions will be even cooler.
