A classic of retro horror gaming, Silent Hill 2 is beloved by many, but one fan has put out a call to find someone that will join them and provide moral support while they play through the terrifying experience. As the Silent Hill 2 remake is nearing completion, many fans are taking the time to go back and enjoy the original game. However, the horrors of Silent Hill 2 have proven overwhelming for some, requiring the power of friendship to help alleviate some of the scariness.
One of the defining anthologies of video game horror, Silent Hill is best-known for its OG trilogy, with many considering Silent Hill 2 to be the best of the series.
