I’d like to see the town from Silent Hill deal with a protagonist who has realistic trauma responses. Yeah, they’ve been through some fucked up shit, but their triggers aren’t deeply symbolic, they’re just random things that happened to be present when the fucked up shit occurred. Like, they suffered a life-altering injury and were stuck on a strict liquid diet during recovery, and now they’re triggered by a specific brand of fruit-flavoured ice pops. They get PTSD flashbacks when they hear the hook from “Despacito” because it was playing in the background when shit went down. Let’s see you maintain that brooding Gothic atmosphere when the avatar of your wrath is Captain Crunch.
