Well, it was like a cross between silent hill and saw. This is significant right off the bat because i never played silent hill, and have only seen bits and pieces of saw when my mom watches it.
It started out being with a group of people in a warehouse that has stone traps in it that we soon realize can be survived only one way. One was a boxlike thing set into the floor, about 3 feet high, with spikes in the wall that close together, and the only way to survive it is to be with your head to one end, in a certain position, because those spikes actually retract back into the wall on one side, then you roll onto your side to get as close to the retracted spikes as possible.
I found this out the hard way lying in it with my head at the wrong end and only got out because they stopped it i guess.
After this someone else tries, since we've seen the spikes, and they die, but then i see it happen again and they're ok. After we leave i see a zombie kill one of the other women, but then it goes back and its another guy who died, and i'm suddenly yet another guy.
I keep going around and suddenly i'll be alone with someone who's either gone nuts or dies, then it goes back and there's about 5 of us. Eventually all but a few are killed, and i'm stuck in the "bad world" with two knife wielding psycho women and pyramid head, hanging from the cieling saying something on the line of fuck this i'm getting out of here. Then pyramid head sliced my legs off from the knee down, i fell, and he impaled me. Then i was watching from a 3rd person perspective as he took off his pyramid, and was one of the guys from the beginning of the dream who was in the spike trap. He then kneels as another pyramid head comes in and impales him.
It gets stranger, as suddenly i'm on a train with all of them that's apparently going to hell, as a few kids on it are taken with a glowing light to heaven as they stop the train to sort out the mix up. At one point i saw my cousin on the train, who had apparently died in one of the traps. This one was a heat lamp flashed at the almost highest temperature, which was enough to kill someone if their head was near it. The way one had to be facing was the other way than the one i was in, as she showed me, to survive. It was a rather simple 50/50 chance of survival. If your head was under the heat lamp, you died, if not your lower legs suffered 3rd degree burns but you lived. the train stopped a few times to pick up people on the side of the track.
Then suddenly i'm back in the warehouse, as the character from island of happiness, and i have to rescue my cats and get out. One was Champ, our cat, another was a white shorthair that i didn't recognize but saved anyways. After i rescue them from a room with poles intersecting in a little maze with a bottomless pit, i was back in the main room with pyramid head and the girls. i put the cats into my bag and got on my knees and begged to be let go and i was back in third person as i watched her leave.
Then i was on a train like before, but it was smaller, like the ones at an amusement park that take you to one of 3 points in the park. I saw pyramid head and the man from before who had his legs cut off in one, but i was on the end with an old lady and a guy who looked about 14. After i realized i could just as easily walk off the train and no one would stop me i started to go, but was compelled to return to the train so i did.
We ended up in hell, and the devil walked us through where each of us would be tortured. He mentioned he only tortured people physically, and not emotionally, using pyramid head and the man, who i guess was his lover, as an example of something he wouldn't use against them.
Then something else happened i can't remember, and i woke up.
What i find weird is its almost like the reality switches in silent hill, which i'd only heard of briefly in a review before this point. Literally "there's a button to switch between this reality and the dark one, which just means twice as many rooms you have to go through. giving control of the reality switches to the player..." is all that has ever been mentioned about that part of silent hill to me. Just that one quote from Yahtzee.
what scares me now is now, several months later, our new neighbors have that white cat. Not A white cat, THAT white cat.
