There is much more realness in computer games than you could imagine. Yes, yes, developers of virtual worlds in some cases resort to a technique that filmmakers readily use - they adapt real events and stories, creating stunning and lively plots from them. 
Games based on real events offer players a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the past and relive historical events or difficult situations that people had to face. Such projects not only entertain, but also educate, helping to understand the essence of things that we sometimes forget about.

A fire broke out underground, which led to serious faults and the release of toxic clouds of smoke. Many residents left their home. However, there were those who refused to leave, despite the danger.
Due to the fire, the entire city was covered in thick smoke and ash. It was this feature that inspired the Silent Hill developers to create an amazing and creepy gaming location.
