Silent Hill Origins is a prequel in Konami's most successful survival horror series. Players take the role of trucker Travis Grady, who comes to the famously fog-laden town for a routine delivery. Origins features the debut of the "Cineractive" system, designed to intensify feelings of isolation and uncertainty in the player. Through a "quick-time event"-style mechanic, gamers react to cut-scenes by entering button sequences at key moments, to respond to their current situation with a counter-attack or quick dodge, for example. As he works his way through the game, Travis can collect everyday items such as portable electronics, garden tools, and kitchen knives, to use as weapons against the soulless monsters that inhabit the town of Silent Hill. Each potential armament has a durability rating, and all objects will eventually break if used too often. To complete the game, Travis must make his way through the traps, puzzles, and monsters that seem to appear suddenly out of the miasma when he least expects them.
