On Pc: Silent Hill 1

The PC version doesn’t start with a splash screen. It starts with a warning: “This game contains scenes of explicit violence and psychological horror.” You click OK. The cursor hesitates for a second—just long enough for the fan to whir louder, as if the machine itself is bracing for something.
