Freeware Game Pick: Soundless Mountain II (Superflat)
Soundless Mountain II is a NES-style remake of Konami's Silent Hill 2 created by Jasper Byrne for TIGSource's demakes competition, where the story is centered around the protagonist's search for his missing wife Kate in a seemingly-deserted old town. The adventure starts off slow as players are introduced to the use red squares to save their progress, interaction methods with objects and also initiating conversations with characters. Combat begins soon after you've discovered a weapon to protect yourself against the enemies you will face in this game.
Use the Z key to examine items, select an option or strike at an enemy with a weapon. Press the X key to enter or exit combat mode, or to cancel a selection. The M key is used to display your map, while pressing the space key allows players to access the inventory screen.
This remake holds more of a nostalgic value than anything else, as most of the scenes will confuse players who are unfamiliar with the revered cult classic. The meeting with Pyramid Head does not happen here as well, since the game ends abruptly after you've made your way into the run-down apartment.

Everyone who is a fan of the Silent Hill series must play this; and the rest of the readers should. Awesome; in the truest sense of the word.

I'm kinda mystified why the compo itself hasn't been mentioned...

One of the most creative and slick NES-remakes I have ever seen.

i didn't like this game, the grafics and commands are ok, but the game its boring and you stay 2h walking in a strait line with only sounds that make your ears bleed.

I loved Silent Hill 2 and '80s games :D So this game is is perfect for me.
It's a shame that the game ends when you enter in the apartment. :(

Ehum, how do you exit the game?
The only way I know how to exit is by minimize with alt+tab and then terminate the game with the Task manager :S
This seems wrong, anyone who can tell me how to exit the game?
Do I have to be at a savepoiont?
