Could you explain to me why you like silent hill 1? (Spoilers) (lemmy.zip)

I played the original silent hill for the first time without knowing anything about the series and i think i am missing something.

The gameplay was obviously clunky but still enjoyable using savestates. My problem comes from the fact that it wasn't really scary (probably because i don't get scared easily) and from the story. When i reached the ending i was very interested in knowing what was going to happen, only to be faced with a basic bossfight without much information about the story (bad ending).

Then i checked the wiki and apparently there are multiple endings whose requirements are not explained in game (or at least it seems so).

Is it worth replaying the game using a guide to see the other endings or should i just watch them on YouTube?

And why is it considered a masterpiece?

there definitely was a lot of annoying jank tbf, like i remember i pretty much got softlocked at the end of the game cause I was a little too trigger happy with my bullets and didn't have enough to kill the boss lmaoo

i feel like the original SH games are just on some different vibes and you're there mainly for the atmosphere. like yeah, you can play SH2 remake but it doesn't have that same weird claustrophobic vibe as the original, you know??
