Silent Hill Heaven

In the case of the person who hung himself, it is completely feasable that she was there to witness it. The posters even state that people are playing 'the choking game'. Maybe this is the schools way of passing off the hanging as a game for the benefit of the kids, but it is quite possible that it...

I think the pieces can fall in place just as well either way, depending on whether Cheryl answers yes to being a virgin or not. If she answers no, then it's very possible that she had sex with Mr. Gordon, since those scenes are the main sex-oriented ones that occur around the high school (as opposed...

Making the Echoes not real means we don't have a story, because we have no way of deciphering what's happening. Maybe ‘real’ wasn’t the best word for me to use, because I meant that the echoes weren’t physically existent in themselves, but rather Cheryl’s memories which as you and Venoid ...

sorry if i'm missing some big detail; I'm at college and the game isn't. But why did we assume that the echoes are real when even main characters are Cheryl's constructs? I mean, all the echoes inform the mood of the story, even if they dont seem to relate to her directly. They could be abstracted p...

I've only gotten halfway through so far, but you've made a believer out of me Something about this theory is very, very appealing.

At the opening credits, Cheryl rewinds the tape repeatedly just before the video break. That suggests to me that the scene revealed at the end is in the same tape, but she's unable to watch it because of her denial. Just like in real life, she's 'stuck' and unable to move on, to visualize that last ...

Thanks for the clarification. The tie-in to Frankenstein makes a lot more sense from your reading.

Another comment, on the pinned beauty. In a more immediate sense, it's Cheryl's loss of innocence. Harry mentioned that she liked butterflies, and a pinned one is one that has been literally crippled.

Sure, the other paths are all dead ends. I meant I was wondering if the game marked you as antisocial if you didn't keep up with Lisa or Michelle the whole way.

Lisa was really friendly until I wandered off during the walk. Then she said something like "come on", and ignored me the rest of the way. I freaked out and reset the game, but I'm still wondering how ditching her would have effected Harry's personality.

Modern Prometheus was actually a part of the title of the original Frakenstein novel as well.

That would explain it. I was overthinking and trying to read into the flare and lighthouse imagery

There's got to be something to the name 'modern Prometheus' for the frankenstein toy, too. Prometheus was a titan who brought fire to ancient man as a beacon of light and reason. He was a protector of mankind, of sorts.

At first I wasn't too sure either way, but after reading this thread I'm leaning more towards the argument that the whole thing is going on in Cheryl's mind. Quote: Yeah, I also suspected, that she accepted the truth because of Dr. K`s words. Dr. K. seems to be a damn good therapist. He cracked Cher...

Wow, this game has so many nuances. In my mugshot Cheryl was scared and giving the bambi eyes.

I only got the guard talking about how sad she looked, Cheryl's text, and the 911 call. I guess the third strike's voicemail's on a different playthrough, but I'll try to get it. And yeah, I guess the idea is farfetched, although it wouldn't be hard to believe that a girl who's hallucinating her fat...

When we, and thus she, finds out he isn't real, it's heartbreaking. No hero, no knight in shining armor, no Harry Mason. Absolutely. All the psychological tests and personalized gameplay, even if they made Harry less than wholesome, still turned him into a perfect ally, someone who would understand...

I understand that they're not literally related, but what Kenji said about the references to SH3 still stands, and I was just wondering if Vincent's little spiel on Heather attacking innocents because she sees them as monsters goes any way in explaining why Cheryl freaked out and stabbed the guard, ...

Here's a link to videos of the way through all the chases. http://www.gametrailers.com/game/silent-hill-shattered-memories/11129?show=User+Movies I'm not encouraging anyone to cheat or anything, and knowing the way kind of detracts from the thrill of the game. But if you're really stuck, these might...

I'll admit that most of it comes to coincidence (for now, at least; concrete evidence may arrive with later playthroughs), but the whole thing of a mall incident, a switchblade, and Cheryl wearing Heather's outfit in her mugshot makes it seem like the whole story is an adaptation/reference to Silen...

Devil's laughter. On the sountrack, there's this robotic laughing chorus in the background that completely creeped me out. I'm not sure if it's in the game, or if I was just too panicky to notice it.

oops. Sorry about that! Mine looked like they were wearing rubber bands. Probably has something to do with repression. One thing I didnt get: the rawshocks seem just as catered to your interests as your fears and weaknesses. For example, if you're going for sleaze and sirens, they grow boobs. But do...
