Is it still worth playing?

Team Silent's 1999 game for the PlayStation, played in third person in real time 3D environments rather than pre rendered backgrounds. Harry Mason searches the town of Silent Hill for his missing adopted daughter and stumbles on a cult trying to revive the deity it worships. There is no HUD, and health is checked in a menu. A radio emits static when enemies are near, a flashlight lights only a short range, and fog and darkness limit your view. You find keys and solve puzzles, and the game has five endings plus a joke one. What you see and hear is limited to a flashlight, a radio and the fog and darkness of the town, and that is why it is worth playing now.
