What Silent Hills might have been about.-UNR

So there's obviously a lot of things about PT/Silent Hills that we will never know due to the circumstances. That being said, I've always been curious as to what Silent Hills might have been about. There's also a lot of speculation about what Norman Reedus's character's purpose was. So, I'm gonna share my theory.

Now, i know that the PT was just a demo, but i think the bit at the end that said it wouldn't have much to do with the final result was talking about the gameplay itself, seeing as the gameplay mechanics leave a lot to be desired (you walk, zoom in on thing, and talk. Thats it). So, for the purposes of this theory, let's say the story was related to the final result. In PT, some time after the violently swinging bloody fridge, you will hear a message on the radio. The message is in Swedish, for some reason, and roughly translates to this:

"Close your eyes. Let your ears listen in to the radio. Do you hear my voice? Can you hear the screams of your own soul?

Let us choose: my voice, which tells the future, or your tormented [struggles?]. Well? What do you choose? You can choose. Your life. Your future!

Wise as you are, you may already have noticed. As the radio drama from 75 years ago was the truth. They are here, on our Earth. And they oversee and see all. Don't trust the news. Don't trust the police. They are already controlled by them.

So has it been for 75 years now. Only [our master?] can keep them [at bay]. You have a right. A right to become one of us. So welcome to our world. Very soon, the gates to a new dimension will open.

1. 204863."

It sounds very much like something a conspiracy theorist would say. And "our master" immediately suggests its a cult. I have reason to believe this is one of many callings put out there by the Order of Valtiel, for the purposes of indoctrination, or simply catching one's interest.

Another thing to note is, in the reveal cinematic at the end of PT, noting the player (Norman Reedus) has a look of confusion on his face as he looks back at the camera; he is most likely confused because of the emptiness of the town.

So, this gives me two (maybe three) answers as to who the player could be.

1. The player is someone who heard the call from the cult, and came to Silent Hill to join the initiative

Or

1. The player is a private investigator who came already knowing about the Order of Valtiel with a possible plan to thwart them once and for all.

The third possible option is that the player is a manifestation of who was supposed to be the son of Jack/Jarith and the pregnant Lisa before Jack murdered her out of cold blood, also possibly indoctrinated by the same message we hear in the game, as it is assumed the other husbands in the news report also heard.

So, thats my theory. Anyone can jump in. We'll never know the true answer, this is just something i thought of.
