Silent Hill has always been about manifesting the darkest corners of the main character’s psychology. The sessions with Kaufmann throughout the journey would continually force me to question my own memories. I had to look back at my recording of my playthrough to confirm that my choices in hue were accurately represented. I couldn’t take my eyes off the house and the couple who lived there, clad in the same pink sweaters I’d coloured the figures in my drawing.
