I was almost in disbelief after entering the Otherworld in Midwich... I thought it was scary enough already but when it got to that point I was just like "Wow, this is genuinely fucked up...", even though I'd already had a preview of things to come in the alley at the start of the game (that whole camera angle/wheelchair thing at the start was really disturbing too)
The chase to the lighthouse is probably the most intense fear I'd ever felt in a video game.

My reaction after beating it:
"OMG, that was so awesome. Too bad there will probably never be another one."
For some reason I was under the impression that Silent Hill was a lot older than it actually was, and that no one really knew about it/remembered it.
I got Bad+, but I knew about the multiple endings thing. Then I played it several more times before hearing that there was going to be a sequel, and I was super excited.

What I felt and the thoughts I had:
After beating it I felt awesome, and was like "Take that Dahlia and you stupid demon thinger! Hah!"
Soon after that I thought about the game as a whole a little and felt spooked.
After dwelling on the game plot more I felt content, it was a good gaming experience, I started thinking "Wow that was deeper than I thought."

Let Silent Hill purify you.

this was the last silent hill game i played, having stupidly played shattered memories, 3 and origins (plus 2,4 and 5) before it and seeing the film and hearing people talk about the alley and midwich etc basically i completely ruined it for myself, and reading this thread makes me a bit sad that i didn't play it at the time it was released. i'm going to return to it soon though, i'm hoping i'll be over the novelty of it being a psx game and the ridiculously awful voice acting and get the good endings and maybe come a bit closer to seeing what it was all about, but from the perspective of someone whose perspective of the games is ass-backwards silent hill felt nowhere near as accomplished as its sequels, to me.
I was unsure on the time suspecting Silent Hill would be another Resident Evil, but the psycological side involved in Silent Hill is just too deeper.
I had to re-start playing several times 'cause I got too scared everytime I reached the School.
The sounds, ambient, music, camera, the blood. All contributed for the taste of fear, and it tends to create fear for the flesh.

Father, why have you forsaken me?

There were just so many moments. I've only recently finished the game for the first time (My first SH - working on 2 very slowly atm), but from panicking in the alleyway when I had no way to defend myself from the demon babies, to panicking in the Midwich courtyard when Devil's Lyric started playing, to panicking at the very end of the sewers, when I heard a loud metallic sound behind me and just run as fast as I could to the exit without looking back, to panicking when Lisa and Cybil died (I got the Good ending).
Overall, I can't necessarily say I enjoyed the experience, but I definitely feel I'm better for it, trite though that may sound. It was very enriching.

I'm not a self-righteous, egotistical, arrogant bastard - but I play one on the internet!
It made me want to go to church.
I also had to get the OST and listen to it while I went to sleep at night. Scared the crap out of me but I loved it. The game made me feel so lost and alone. Nothing has ever scared me as much as Silent Hill. The first SH will always remain my favorite.
It also makes me feel nostalgic, it seemed so familiar. The music had so much to do with that, and now when I listen to it all those feelings are brought back again. Like its calling me. I need to go play it again...

It made me feel pretty much like 'OHSHITOHSHIT' through the entire game. To this day I've never felt so harassed in any other game. The streets were the worst for me, since I spent a lot of time in them, but the short time I was running to the boat/lighthouse was probably the most intense.
There were a lot of '...the FUCK?' moments. Like most people playing Silent Hill for the first time (without having been previously initiated into the series), Dahlia tricked me. Even after the game, I didn't quite get that Alessa was trying to escape Dahlia and prevent God from being born. It took posting on here to fully understand the storyline.
