Psyche Profile Experiences (Spoilers)

Post by Terminus »

This thread is to discuss the nuances of our individual experiences with the game due to the psyche profile. Normally this kind of thing would wait until more people have completed the game, but I figure that since there are some lucky people who were able to get the game early and complete it, we can start this thread early too.

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
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
her death.
Raw Shocks - The ones in my playthrough were all over the place by the end. Some were extremely abstract with blocky heads and segmented bodies, some were emaciated and digit-less with forked heads, others looked like they had bits of them scooped out with a melon-baller with dented heads, and some didn't have any noticeable changes from their basic forms at all. Most of them had holes in their chests.

Harry - He woke up at
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
Alchemilla
in a long winter coat. He eventually ended up in a brownish-orange Hawaiian shirt. He was helpful and kind to just about everyone he met.

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.

Raw Shocks: "Erotic Nightmare"
Cybil: "Sexy and Nice"
Dahlia: "Blonde Haired Hot Mess"
Michelle: "Pink Prom Queen"
Lisa: "Cry cry cry cry I WASN'T SUPOSED TO BE HERE!!!"

....That about sums it up...

I didn't notice any different locations. I've been through 3 times, and theres either the video store, or the dress shop.

Cybil was average and nice, Michelle was pink, Lisa has a head wound (of course), I went through the thrift shop instead of the video store, and I encountered the raw shocks in this garage thingy/house

Cybil: Blonde hair with open shirt. I got hard ass Cybil through most of the adventure except in the cop car and the light house.

Homeowners: Can't remember if harry pounded on the door. Yelled at the owners, but they reacted somewhat nice and blamed their daughter.

Michelle: Always nice, pink dress with tiara, short hair. I believe regular amount of make-up, but even that can be too much for me sometimes.

Dahlia: brown hair with punk clothes. Really wasn't fond of her, but the game forced me into it.

Lisa: Can't remember scrub color. She wore the gray jacket when she changed because I went into the video store, not the clothes one.

Raw Shocks: Sadly very feminine. (I wasn't expecting my honest play through to end up so sexualized. :? ) but they also seemed slightly burned or disfigured in some way. I can see how the sex things might have come about, but the other features I'm not sure about. Oh and they had lips on the top of their heads...... :shock:

Is it just me, or is Harry extremely paranoid about cops in your games too?

Raw Shocks: Sexualized, strangely enough. Maybe the game somehow picked up my aversion to anything sexual and decided to play that up to mess with me?
Cybil: Brown-haired, nice.
Married couple: Nice. No door pounding.
Dahlia: Brown-haired punk (seems to be the norm).
Michelle: Plain clothes and hair.
Lisa: Don't remember clothes, crying.

Being the classy guy that I am, I went for options that I thought would result in more T&A and I think I mostly succeeded. Slutty Dalia, Clevage Cybil, lots of nude neon signs, mannequins, and the like. Assuming the ending refers to the scene after the Amusement Park? Meh... I got Harry telling his daughter to get him a beer.

I won't go into the real changes to the game, but I will say that my profile given by Doc K at the end of the game was....eerily correct. Both the negatives and the positives, 95% fit me to a tee, it was sort of neat actually (as I had heard of this before but was sceptical).

I'd actually venture to say that the ending psych profile gave me abit of new insight into myself as a person.

My ending profile was mostly right, but it said I'm clean and tidy, and lousy in bed. T.T

I got Law and Order!Cybil who was nice.

Harry was kind and caring, with the pink sweater.

Dahlia had brown-red hair, the purple outfit.

Michelle had the prom dress and her hair in a bun.

Lisa had pink scrubs; I think she put on a zip-up sweater. She died when Harry got there.

The couple called the police on Harry for yelling at them.
