In Silent Hill 4, players assume the role of Henry Townsend, apparently an ordinary man forced to confront an inexplicable situation. Henry has been locked inside his own apartment; the only way out, apparently, is a mysterious hole appeared in the wall of the bathroom.

Henry's room becomes a sort of hub where different holes and doors lead to different frightening places; the game is played in third and first person view, according to the area you are exploring. Among the new features, a power gauge that the player can fill by holding a button to unleash more destructive blows, but also the possibility to cooperate with NPCs when fighting the disturbing monsters that populate the game.
