The basis for the game's plot is similar to the original: the protagonist, Harry Mason, searches for his daughter, Cheryl, in the mysterious town of Silent Hill following her disappearance after a car accident that left him unconscious. The rest of the story, except for some character names, is radically different.

The game begins in a therapist's office, where the player can interact from a first-person perspective. After the player fills out a questionnaire, the action cuts to the town of Silent Hill. Throughout the game, the action cuts back to this session, where the doctor listens to the events unfold. Harry's journey is also occasionally interrupted when the town transforms into an icy nightmare in which he is forced to run from bizarre monsters, forcing him to flee from one location to the next.

Harry Mason wakes up to a car crash to find his daughter has gone missing. He explores the seemingly empty town, as a snow storm has forced most residents to take refuge in their homes. After talking to police officer Cybil Bennett (or a bartender, depending on the player's choices), Harry remembers that he lives in Silent Hill on Levin Street, only several blocks away. Harry reaches his home, only to find another family living there. Cybil picks him up and offers to take him to the station and figure things out, but she has to stop after her car windshield becomes covered with snow. Cybil leaves to see where they are. Harry doesn't wait for her and escapes into the woods, finding his way to Midwich, the local high school.

At the school, Harry meets Michelle Valdez, a prom queen attending a reunion, and learns that his daughter was a student here, although considerably older than he remembers and at a different address. Harry follows Michelle to the nightclub where she works. She offers to drive Harry to Cheryl's address, but when Harry briefly steps away he comes back to find Michelle is gone. Instead, Harry meets Dahlia, a wayward girl who acts as if she has been with Harry the whole time and claims to have a romantic history with him. Scared and disoriented, he accepts the ride, but another shift to the nightmare causes the car to crash. Harry wakes up in a hospital with Cybil, but the nightmare world quickly takes hold again and Harry is forced to flee. Returning to the normal world, he meets Lisa Garland, a nurse. He takes her back to her apartment, and helps her with her headache, but she dies shortly thereafter. Cybil shows up and tries to arrest Harry. Once again, the ice world takes hold, and Harry navigates the frozen town, emerging near Cheryl's address. Inside, he finds an older version of Dahlia, who shows Harry her wedding ring and claims they are married. She tells Harry that Cheryl is at the lighthouse, before the world freezes over yet again. Harry tries to leave the apartment, only to find a seemingly endless maze that ends in Cheryl's bedroom, where Michelle appears and offers to drive him to the lighthouse.
