Silent Hill: Origins (connu sous le nom de Silent Hill: Zero au Japon) est le cinquième épisode de la série Silent Hill et une préquelle à Silent Hill . Il a été développé par Climax Studios et édité par Konami. Il fut sorti sur la PlayStation Portable en fin 2007 et fut porté sur la PlayStation 2 en 2008.
Making his way through Silent Hill, Travis passes through the town's butcher shop , where he witnesses the murder and mutilation of a nurse monster by a large monster called the Butcher . Once Travis arrives at Cedar Grove Sanitarium , he runs into Dahlia Gillespie, the woman he spotted at the fire. He questions her, and she gives convoluted and confusing answers, revealing that her daughter is Alessa Gillespie, the girl burned in the fire. During the exploration of the sanitarium, it is revealed that Travis's mother, Helen Grady , attempted to kill him when he was a child, and that she was held in the female isolation ward. Voice recordings in the sanitarium tell of how Helen claimed she was "all better now" and wanted to see her son. Travis reaches his mother's cell and finds her Otherworld counterpart trapped in a large gibbet cage. After defeating her, he finds another triangular piece and Alessa appears as Travis passes out again. Upon waking, Travis finds a theater ticket and insinuates that he should check out Artaud Theater .
Lors de l' E3 2006, Konami annonce que Silent Hill: Origins est en développement chez Climax Studios, à la place de la Team Silent qui avait développé les opus précédents de la série [ 1 ] . Dans les premières previews du jeu, le système de caméra adopté est similaire à celui de Resident Evil 4 , ce qui contraste avec la vue à la troisième personne typique de la série. L'accent est alors davantage mis sur l'action et les combats que dans les précédents Silent Hill . Dans les previews , Travis possède six armes, réparties équitablement entre armes de corps à corps et armes à feu. Parmi les autres changements, on peut aussi relever la présence d'une visée laser pour le pistolet et la possibilité de barricader certaines zones pour empêcher les ennemis d'y parvenir. À ce moment-là, la sortie du jeu est prévue pour fin 2006.
Travis continues following Alessa's spirit manifestation, which refuses to speak to him, and gradually collects pieces of an unknown pyramid-shaped object; [ 16 ] after collecting all of the pieces, he assembles them to form the Flauros, an artifact which contains a trapped demon and can be used to amplify thought. Alessa's spirit manifestation uses the completed Flauros to increase her powers and free herself from Dahlia's spell, which had inhibited her abilities. [ 15 ] Dahlia reveals that the cult plans to use Alessa to give birth to its god, before leaving to take part in the ritual. [ 17 ] Travis heads to the cult's ritual grounds, and sees members of the cult, including Kaufmann, surrounding Alessa's burned body. Incapacitated by Kaufmann, Travis defeats and imprisons the demon within the Flauros in a dream-like state. [ 12 ]
