The Good:
-Much better then I was expecting. I was expecting to see another one of those silly run threw the maze type of games with the name Silent Hill put on it. I’m glad I didn’t.
-Love the background music, the terrain and the control panel design. Props for building such a SH like atmosphere.

The Bad:
-The game starts out a little slow.
-The game could use a little more of direction. I found myself often getting lost, confused, and bored because of that. Especially if you die and are sent back to a check point (w/o your items).
-It didn’t seem like there was much though put into a combat system.
- You shouldn't have to break down the doors to enter them, it can be very time consuming, and slows down the pace of the game.
-At beginning of day two, you say that we 'wake up from bed', and that’s all you should say. We will find out that we are in a twisted world, and the person should be asking himself how long this nightmare will last, not the game telling him.

Bugs/Suggestions:
-You can walk threw many doodads.
-Map says 1.1, leaderbord says 1.0.
-I'd say reduce the number of players that can play the game to maybe 4. That way if you play the game solo, you have 1/4 of a team, instead of 1/10.
-No need to tell us to be under 18. Although the map contains the occasional scare, I doubt anyone will be having nightmares from a war3 mod. 8)

Overall:
-The best part about this game is the atmosphere. The back ground music, well done terrain, and random sounds are all done well.
-There almost seems to be no story to the game, just random stuff happening in a twisted world. I guess some people don’t mind this, but I think it would make the game a little more enjoyable to have more of a plot.
-For the combat system, give us guns of some sort, that way we can take on enemies w/o having to get damaged by them. I found myself skipping enemies in most cases so that I could save my heal potions.
-Maybe add a few more cinematic, or clues of some sort to tell us where to go and what to do next so that we’re not running around in circles so much.
-And of course, keep up the good work! 8)

Thanks 4 ur comments.

New ver1.2 is updated, easier n bugs fixed.
Player Hp n attack Damage is increased.
because of my poor english, the storyline is limited.

n i hav think about the weapon system, bcoz of rushing this map i skipped it n just put some items with extra attack damage.

I will improve this map again in later version. :roll:

And to think that it would be impossible to be scared in Wc3 maps, but this is one horrid package.....only problem is that the bugs that GettingSleepy said were the true horrors in the map! keep up the good work!

btw, can you make a First Person Camera? Makes it feel like your in the actual horror, i wanna modify it to your map but it's protected.

I just want to say a thing here, your map is 1 of the best made maps here I have seen in wc3, you dont put things in the map just to fill your map, you think and make this map 1 of the greatest map ever. I recommend this to EVERYONE!! TRY IT AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN! 5/5! and you really earn this!

This is the most atmospheric horror map I've seen in Warcraft 3. Though, I mostly agree with what GettingSleepy said. The map really scares but it lacks dynamism of gameplay. I understand that some things like absence of guns are made to escalate the situation. But, in my opinion, it is possible to find even better ways to scare the player. I love this map! And hope you are not going to stop improving it. Good work!
Btw 5/5) I would say 4.5/5 but it is closer to 5)

I think somewhere back in 2010 I actually made a fix for Warcraft 1.24+ for this map.
Don't remember much, since it was so long ago, but I was quite impressed by the map and the creator didn't respond.
Here is the fixed version: SILENT HILL v1.6 (Fixed) - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com
It seems to be playable in the Warcraft 1.30 too, but I don't know if there are any issues during the game.
