Welcome to my playthrough of Silent Hill: Homecoming. Released in 2008 and made by Double Helix Games, this was their first and only entry in the Silent Hill series. Join me as I play as Alex Shepherd, a soldier who gets swallowed up by Silent Hill.

Tweaks/patches I’ve made to get the game working properly:
- This unofficial patch: https://github.com/unknownproject/Silent_Hill_Homecoming/tree/master/Patches
- This sound fix patch to fix channel mappings: https://steamcommunity.com/app/19000/discussions/0/2381701715732937446/
- The Razer Surround Driver to act as a virtual surround sound device, linked to in the steam post in the previous link. This is needed in addition to the sound patch because I use stereo headphones and the game is broken and will only output surround sound properly. So I output to the Razer virtual surround sound driver and then downmix to stereo.
- VB-Audio VoiceMeeter Banana to map the output of the Razer surround sound driver to my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen, because that’s where I actually have my headphones plugged into.
- Windowed Borderless Gaming to make the game look like it’s fullscreen when it’s actually running in windowed mode. Windowed mode solves the problem of the game crashing when alt-tabbing out.
- Despair that you’ve spent almost as much time fixing a broken game as you will playing it
