Silent Hill 4: The Room 2004

Is it still worth playing?

You guide Henry Townshend as he tries to escape from his apartment in this 2004 survival horror game for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows. Play centers on the apartment, which is shown in first person and holds the only save point, and the other areas are reached through holes that form in it. In the first half of the game the room restores Henry's health, while in the second half it is possessed by hauntings that drain it. In the main levels the view is third person. The inventory is limited, and unneeded items can be left in a chest in Henry's room. Combat is emphasized, with few complex puzzles and mostly simple item-seeking tasks. It is set in the southern part of the city rather than in the town of Silent Hill. A home as the only safe place is still a distinctive setup today.
