Queen Burger in Old SIlent Hill, SH1.

Queen Burger in Brite Street, in Silent Hill: Downpour.

SHD - Queen Burger was a Burger King parody place in Old Silent Hill that was only seen in Silent Hill 1, with no other locations in the games. Downpour brought it back with a new location in Chastain Heights, across from the Shadow Play sidequest apartment.

SH3 - In some occasions, after killing all enemies in the Church meeting room, the blood corruption will dissipate into circle patterns that expand until disappearing.

SH1 - Cybil's death FMV is a high quality version of the Puppet enemies' death animations, which shows just how graphic they really are.

Travis tossing a portable TV at a faceless nurse in Alchemilla.

SH0 - The game and Travis are pretty infamous for the portable TVs that can be used as a throwable one-hit-durability weapon and how many he can carry, so it might be a little surprising to know that there are only three of these in the entire game.

SH0 - In contrast to the normal Carrions, Carrion Mothers have rotten straight teeth, very diseased skin with open sores, and in the PSP version only, they dissipate into the same clouds Momma attacks with when they're killed.

I'm back from seeing my favorite band, so I didn't have a Halloween post.
So for something different-ish, what are some odd misconceptions you've seen shared about the franchise? Preferably no Pyramid Head stuff (way too much). Weird stuff that makes you think "did we even play the same thing?"

SH1 - Rompers' faces are split down the middle vertically. This is more visible in their official art, but their in-game model shows it too.

Pyramid Head opening the front of the helmet with his hand in the apartments' closet scene.

Pyramid Head strangling James in their first fight. The front plate opens and lets out a black moving appendage.

Pyramid Head's front plate sliding open during the windup to impale Maria with the spear in the Lakeview Hotel.

Close up view of the dead Pyramid Heads after their final boss fight. The front plate of their helmets stays open after killing themselves, but nothing can be seen inside.

SH2 - Pyramid Head's helmet opens a handful of times in the game. He pries it open in the closet scene, then it slides open while strangling James (first boss fight) and when killing Maria (both times). He finally pries it open when he kills himself at the end of the game, and stays like that, dead.

The blurred text at the bottom seems to be an anti-terrorism addition made in the website the document was found in (the website appears blurrier at the very bottom). Does anybody know where this original document was hosted and the devs found it in?

Close up of the Halo of the Sun save point. It's drawn on a ripped paper lying on the floor. It starts with "We the People" and the first lines of the constitution too blurry to read, before going blank. At the bottom of the page, printed text appears to say "Don't let the constitution be (illegible) by terrorism" and more blurry text. The website is also printed in the bottom, but it's missing characters due to the corners being torn and it's somewhat blurry.

Another view of the paper save point showing where it was ripped out of the wall, where the top portion of the document is held by tape.

SH3 - The save point in Brookhaven Hospital's 3F storeroom is drawn over a blank version of the US Constitution.

SH1 - Because Cheryl's model is almost never seen in-game, it doesn't really convey to the player how similar she is to Alessa. Indeed, her model and Alessa's flashback model have an identical body and face.

SM - Drawings in the art room at Midwich High School call back to the Tarot cards in Silent Hill 3, where the Eye of God represents the cult's god itself. In the Silent Hill Chronicle, which uses a tarot motif, the cult itself is represented by the Tower.

Heather examining the roof door, says "It's locked. That bitch....!"

SH3 - Heather can call Claudia a bitch even earlier in the game, if she tries to follow Claudia through the rooftop access in the Missionary fight.

# Lillian Shepherd # [IDS_JOURNAL_Lillian_After_Lillian_Gets_Kidnapped]They took her. I know she's involved in all this somehow, but she doesn't deserve to get hurt. [IDS_JOURNAL_Lillian_After_Alex_Does_or_Doesn't_Kill_Mom]I never thought I'd hear Mom say that she loved me. But I guess it took the fear of death to make her realize it. I spent so long hating her, and now, I can't believe she's gone. # Adam Shepherd # [IDS_JOURNAL_Adam_After_Adam_is_Killed_by_Pyramid_Head]I can't believe he was still alive, after all that. He wanted forgiveness. Well, he can't have it. Repenting on your deathbed doesn't make up for a lifetime of neglect. I'm sorry, but too much has happened. # Crazy Man in Graveyard # [IDS_JOURNAL_Graveyard_Man_Name]Crazy Man in Graveyard [IDS_JOURNAL_Graveyard_Man_After_Alex_First_Sees_Mayor_Digging_Graves]This man was digging graves in the cemetery, but I get the sneaking suspicion he doesn't work there. I couldn't talk to him, and I'm not sure he'd be any help even if I could. # Elle Holloway # [IDS_JOURNAL_Elle_After_Alex_Wakes_Up_On_Shore]When I woke up on the shore, Elle was gone. The Order must have her. But I'm gonna find her. I swear to God, I will. She's not going to become another missing person like those people on her flyers. I won't let that happen.

### Journal Entry Strings - CREATURES I'VE FOUGHT ###

HC - Besides just being used for plot objectives and to view collectibles, Alex' journal was planned to also have his comments on the people he meets and the monsters he fights, just like Hinako does in SHf. The feature was never finished, but some of the text is still in the files.

Congrats!

A humanoid levitating pitch black shadow with no hands and large boots. The only discernible part is its light gray face, which is flat and distorted. This is the Shade's earliest known iteration.

The Shade's second known iteration. It's a very distorted cloud with vague resemblance to iteration one's face.

The second iteration of the Shade in the mistakenly uploaded unfinished trailer, spawning in Devil's Pitstop. It shows as dark clouds and lightning bolts.

The Shade in the final game, as a void of red light with lightning.

SH Downpour - The Shade went through a few designs, starting as a humanoid shadow with a distorted face (possibly a placeholder?), then becoming just a face among dark clouds and lightning (seen in the accidentally uploaded WIP trailer) and finally becoming an abstract void of light.

From what I know, SHf doesn't have a dream sequence either, but I'm not nearly familiar enough with the game and it's still too soon to be including it.

James Sunderland and SM Harry Mason are the only major protagonists to not wake up from a dream sequence at the start of the game, although SM Harry does wake up from being knocked unconscious in the crash. Travis is not fully asleep, but he is falling asleep at the wheel with micro dreams.

NeoBards will also be at Tokyo Game Show 2025 this year! Swing on by if you're at the show and say hi. I will most likely be chained to this booth for the entirety of the show 😇

SM - In one of the call variations for Bedrock Security's number, the guard on the other end will point out that Harry is not in any of the security cameras nor has activated any alarms.

SM - The Guilt test has the most complex values in the therapy segments, as every single possible combination has its own different score for the player's profile.
