Direct interaction with the environment is often vital for progression, such as pulling down ladders or breaking down a boarded-up door. Exploring the player's surroundings is much more rewarded than in previous instalments, and the gameplay is generally much more similar to a open-world game, barring some restrictive dungeon environments. At any point, the player can use the inventory to view maps or Harry's scrapbook, which do not take up inventory room.Ĭompared to the original game, Silent Hill Reborn features much heavier environmental exploration around the titular supernatural town. The inventory also contains certain containers which can be used to store certain items related to that container without them taking up space. The player has a limited inventory space, being able to carry only eight items at the start of the game but being able to increase this number by finding certain items. The game has no heads-up display, and instead the player must consult a different inventory screen to check Harry's health, status, inventory and location - unlike in earlier Silent Hill titles, this does not pause the game.
The game is played from a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective when outdoors or in larger areas, while in smaller areas the camera shifts into a more traditional third-person camera viewpoint, with the camera changing position for dramatic effect as the player moves.
