Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series. The game was released in mid 2003 for the Sony PlayStation 2 and was ported to the PC later that year. The game is a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill game, staged seventeen years after the game's events. This entry is centered on a teenage girl named Heather who is drawn into Silent Hill's bizarre reality after being haunted by terrifying dreams and must enter the town itself to uncover a disturbing connection regarding her past and fate. She ultimately discovers she is a part of the plans of the town's cult and becomes caught in a conflict within the cult itself.
After playing through a brief dream sequence at a Silent Hill amusement park, the player is introduced to the game's protagonist, Heather, at a "Happy Burger" restaurant in a shopping mall. Before she can leave she is confronted by a private investigator named Douglas Cartland who tells her he has information about her past.
Heather evades him, escaping through a window in a ladies' restroom, but upon reentering the mall she discovers it mostly abandoned except for bizarre monsters. (Wikipedia)
