We can start the discussion with the obvious stuff, like the appearances of our raw shocks, characters, and the locations we are able to enter. Through that discussion the more subtle differences may get noticed; the ones that we otherwise wouldn't notice were affected by the psyche profile. Obviously people who are completing second+ runs will notice even more things, and they can contribute further. Screencaptures/etc. would be cool to have from people who can take them, so that we can see the differences in our play-throughs more precisely. Those who are willing to spoil themselves in this thread before they play the game for themselves could take advantage of information here to help look for and notice nuances in their experiences that they wouldn't otherwise be able to notice/know to look for until subsequent play-throughs.
This would also be a great place to brainstorm about how and why the differences in our experiences may have been induced by our behaviors and the psyche profile. I think this is the most interesting bit about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, so let's discuss! Use spoiler tags where appropriate, just in case.
**Edit - First playthrough completed.**
Cybil - She was very professional. She wore a black police uniform and cap, and was tough at the first meeting, but after that turned out to be reasonably caring and concerned.
Homeowners - They suggested that their daughter may have been making prank phonecalls. Harry knocked on the door normally, and mostly acted bewildered until the end of the scene.
Michelle - She wore a pink prom-dress. I think she had a more conservative hairstyle, but I don't remember what it was. It might have been a bun. Her boyfriend was a lawyer, and he seemed nice. They broke up fairly quietly.
Dahlia - She wore a purple and black outfit with ripped stockings. She had dark hair with redish highlighting. She was fiddling with something that I couldn't see very well at the first meeting. She gave Harry a bottle of wine at their last meeting, which he wouldn't drink.
Lisa - She crashed an ambulance, wore pink scrubs, and wouldn't complain at all. I don't remember what she changed into very well, but I think it was a brown sweater and jeans. She asked for a yellow pill. She was perfectly calm until
Harry - He woke up at
Ending - I got "Love Lost" for my first playthrough. My final psyche evaluation was about 90% accurate. In his final report Dr. Kaufman said that I was clean and tidy, and that I took pride in helping people. He said that I am not completely predisposed to clean-living, which I don't think is that accurate. He also said that I am probably lousy in bed, which I wouldn't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true.
I saw a stuffed bear in the corner at the cabin.
I chose to enter the video store, and ended up going to the cafe, a toy store, and a salon. I chose to enter the astronomy room in the high school. I don't remember if there were other places that I might have had a choice to enter.
What I picked on my form:
I make friends easily - No
Having a drink helps me relax - No
Sticking to a plan or schedule is best - Yes
I have enjoyed role-play during sex - No
I always listen to other people's feelings - No
I prefer abstract ideas - Yes
I think that's all of them.
I don't remember some of the other questions Dr. Kaufman asked that well, but I remember that I said the prince was most guilty, and that I said no to all of the questions but the one about being a virgin in high school. I said that it takes people a while to get to know me, and that I would rather spend time with family than with friends.
