Silent Hill: Downpour, the eighth game in Konami's Silent Hill franchise, follows the story of prison inmate Murphy Pendleton and his visit to the best vacation town that Satan ever built.During a routine transfer to a new prison, the bus transporting Murphy crashes, which leaves him a free man. With a security officer from the transport on his trail, a desperate Murphy tries to escape from both his fate on Death Row and the ever-worsening weather by following a worn-down road through the nearby woods. That road eventually leads Murphy to the world's least desirable vacation destination: the resort town of Silent Hill. His luck changes for the worse after he enters the town, as supernatural monsters assault him at every turn—including two symbolic übermonsters in The Bogeyman and The Wheelman—while an unnatural force threatens to rip his body and soul apart in the Otherworld. He also discovers that he has a deeper connection to the security officer trailing him than he knows, and it could be the key to helping both of them survive Silent Hill.Like other games in this franchise, notably Silent Hill 2, the titular town of torture takes on a unique personality that preys upon the inner turmoil of the protagonist. This time around, the haunted hellscape is washed out in torrential rain, representing the prison showers where Murphy encountered and killed a child molester, and electricity arcs across the landscape whenever Murphy travels into the Otherworld, along with guillotine symbolism in sliding doors, playing into his fears of execution for his crimes. Many of his enemies serve as obstacles more than free-roaming creatures to defeat, being imprisoned in their own torment even as they block his way forward.Murphy also sees a lot of fire during his trips to the Otherworld; given the circumstances, Hell might be a better place to live.

Multiple Endings
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: Downpour continues the series tradition. This time the endings depend on how much good or bad karma you get while playing the game and whether or not you spare Anne during the final fight or kill her. "Forgiveness": One of two good endings. It’s revealed that Sewell killed Frank and put the blame on Murphy. Anne understands what really happened to her father, forgives Murphy and hugs him as they reappear back at the shore by the lake and she allows him to escape before police show up. "Truth and Justice": The second good ending. Plays out similarly to "Forgiveness" regarding Sewell killing Frank and Anne forgiving Murphy, but this time the two reappear where the transport bus crashed, then it shows Anne confronting Sewell afterword with a gun behind her back, potentially to get revenge. "Full Circle": One of two bad endings. Murphy is shown killing Frank, but after seeing his and Anne’s dead bodies tries to kill himself with Frank’s pistol knowing he can’t live with what he’s done, only for him to be stuck in a "Groundhog Day" Loop in the last level. "Execution": The second bad ending. Murphy is seen on death row, strapped up in the execution chamber and ready for lethal injection for drowning his son Charlie and killing Frank. "Surprise!": The Joke Ending which, interestingly enough, doesn’t involve aliens. This ending can be acquired during your second play though. During a side quest, Murphy digs his way into the execution chamber, only for the light to turn on and the characters from not only this game but also of Silent Hill 2 and 3 to be shown throwing him a surprise party, complete with Pyramid Head cutting the cake. "Reversal": The hidden ending. Allow Anne to kill Murphy as the Bogeyman and it’ll show Anne in the same jail seen at the beginning, but now she’s the criminal and Murphy is the cop.

Violation of Common Sense
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c
comment
Violation of Common Sense: For some of the side quests, the only reason the player would even know to do them is because Murphy jots the objective down in his notebook. Upon finding a dead body with the heart torn out, Murphy somehow decides he should go searching for the heart in the creepy underground labyrinth so he can jam it back into the body. After finding an urn full of someone's ashes and a photograph of a spot in town, Murphy speculates that the place was meaningful to the couple who lived there and decides he should take the ashes and scatter them at that spot. Despite running around the whole town grabbing all kinds of loose items, at one point Murphy finds a stash of stolen goods and decides that he is supposed to return these particular items to their rightful owners. After encountering some police cars inexplicably being driven around by monsters, Murphy decides to try to get rid of those cars by seeking out the police dispatcher and calling all the cars back. While it does makes logical sense on some level, it's still a rather strange solution given the mysterious, supernatural context of the game. In most Silent Hill games, leaving the monsters alive will only give them the chance to get back up and kill you. You typically need to search the area for clues that you killed them in those games. In this game, the decision to kill or spare the monsters will affect the ending, and to get the best ending, you must let non-repenting monsters live. This is not like Napier, this is legit self-defense—and sparing them suddenly matters.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: The police badge found by the first set of clothing that Murphy changes into behind the motel. Although Anne seems to understand the significance of it after Murphy encounters her following the train ride, the game never explains its significance until the end of the story: It is a badge of mourning, worn after the death of a fellow officer, that represents the murder of Frank Coleridge. Depending on your playthrough, Coleridge died at the hands of either Sewell or Murphy. The "Truth & Justice" ending sees Anne accusingly throwing it at Sewell as she confronts him. According to the tie-in comic "Anne's Story", that ending is the canon ending.

Death of a Child
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_269e82c1
comment
Death of a Child: With one possible exception, every kid either shown or referred to in-game ends up dead before the end, making it somewhat of a running theme. Examples include: Charlie Pendleton's death and defilement. In the sidequests, a father who axed his wife and children to death in a fit of rage, and a mother who is heavily implied to have indirectly caused her severely autistic daughter to drown. A past accident in the Devil's Pit that claimed the lives of eight children. A young autistic boy who succumbs to archaic mental procedures. Murphy is tasked to find a rhyme that is explicitly stated to repel The Bogeyman. When The Bogeyman approaches a little kid, Murphy tries to save the kid by reciting the rhyme by memory. The Bogeyman snaps the child's neck before Murphy can finish.

Mythology Gag: One of the apartments you can enter in Silent Hill is a replica of Henry's apartment in Silent Hill 4. In the Centennial building, you can find a painting of Alex Shepherd's house. Murphy Pendleton is a possible reference to the Dean Koontz novel 77 Shadow Street, which takes place in Pendleton Drive, and has a security guard character with the first name of Murphy. The novel also deals with sudden horrifying changes to the world much like Silent Hill.

Karma Meter: The game keeps a hidden tally of points, which increases or decreases based on whether you kill or spare defeated monsters and at certain points where you have to make moral decisions. Whether your score is positive or negative combined with your decision at the very end of the game determines your ending.

Offing the Offspring: One of the side quests involves a missing little girl. She followed a route home from school made by her mother, who tied ribbons around various posts around town. The girl would always follow the ribbons without hesitation due to her severe autism. You eventually discover that the mother deliberately altered the path one day because she hated living with the girl's condition. The new route caused the girl to walk off a pier and drown. Murphy himself can end up as an example in the worst ending.

Autosave: In contrast to previous Silent Hill games, which used Save Points, Downpour simply autosaves at certain key points in each level. The game retains the last 5 autosaves, so you can go back a save or two if you use up too many resources or otherwise put yourself in a corner.

Light and Mirrors Puzzle: While it is a puzzle that does involve both lights and mirrors, it's not an entirely straight example; The lights are floodlights used to chase and trap monsters into cages, while the mirror (here a flooded floor) shows the entirely different plane of existence said monsters and floodlights reside on.

Beat Still, My Heart: For the "Dead Man's Hand" sidequest, you have to retrieve a the still-beating heart of a dead man, which was savagely ripped out of his body. Emphasis on "still-beating"; the quest also employs a Heart Beat Soundtrack to effectively create the most macabre game of "Hot and Cold" ever.

Cluster F-Bomb: Compared to other Silent Hill games, this game has lots of cussing. Special mention goes to Sewell; he does not exactly swear every other sentence, but he is probably the most foul-mouthed character in the series thus far.

Quite early in the game, you can find an ever-present wheelchair tipped on the side with its wheels still spinning. Turns out it's somewhat of a subversion, as it's actually Foreshadowing this time around...

Properly Paranoid: A sidequest tasks you to clear a haunting by arranging a room until it matches its Mirror Universe counterpart. But if you fail to do it in the proper order, a monster only visible in said mirror will spawn. When you complete the sidequest, you will find a psychiatrist's case file on the previous owner of the house: They were driven totally mad by having to do the same routine of rearranging the room every day, "or else the monsters in the mirror will hurt me!". Then you turn around and there is a shadow (texture) of a swinging hanged woman on the wall...even though there is no body hanging from the ceiling.

Ungrateful Bastard: The game's Karma Meter is primarily determined by whether you execute downed enemies or simply leave them be. However, if you spare them, half the time downed enemies just get back up again with a large portion of their health restored and run up and stab you In the Back.

comment
Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: At times, you might see certain spots around town that Murphy probably could feasibly reach without too much effort, but are nonetheless off-limits to the player. Usually, you can sort of think of it as an unspoken implication that Murphy is automatically filtering out those unremarkable places for the player, although there is an instance where Murphy explicitly looks at a potentially viable pathway that is blocked by a foot-high tree trunk and proclaims he "can't go this way." Aversions also exist where Murphy actually forces his way through certain trivial obstacles, such as smashing off padlocks and hacking through the loosely boarded door. Also worth mentioning are those mysterious chasms and towering fences which are truly insurmountable and block off entire roadways.

Scenery Porn: Surprisingly for a Silent Hill game, The Devil's Pit in particular features many meticulously rendered mountain-scenes. The game as a whole has a lot of little details in its environments, including, but not limited to, the Scenery Gorn elements. Hell, there is even a lot of detail in the areas where Murphy cannot afford to stop and take a good look around, such as Void chases in The Otherworld.

But Thou Must!: The game justifies this as part of the strange nature of Silent Hill. It even lampshades the idea after DJ Ricks reveals that he has a boat, but someone stole the keys. Murphy says he could hotwire it, but Ricks says that would not work because Silent Hill has "rules". When Ricks breaks those rules, the town punishes him for it.

Not What It Looks Like: As Murphy kneels over the dead body of the boy killed by The Bogeyman, a little girl walks in on the scene. Naturally, she peels off as fast as her legs will let her. After killing The Wheelman, Anna reveals that he represented Frank, her father. In fact, the Wheelman is replaced by Frank, who is in the shower where Sewell (or Murphy) killed him. Then the cycle becomes full and she tries to murder you. If you spare her, the game reveals what really happened depending on you actions in the game.

Prison Riot: Overlook Penitentiary was a site of a riot. It is suggested that it was instigated by George Sewell in order to cover up the planned murder of Frank Coleridge by Murphy Pendleton.

Schrödinger's Gun: Your actions determine whether Murphy killed Coleridge or was framed for it by Sewell. They also determine whether Murphy killed Napier and, in one ending, if it was Murphy who killed his son Charlie. This could tie into the idea that the town itself is a sentient reality-warping entity. If Murphy refuses to learn that violence and vengeance are wrong, it retcons him into being a violent murderer.

What Happened to the Mouse?: The game doesn't mention DJ Ricks after the attack at the radio station. You can hear some rather monstrous radio broadcasts while travelling the Otherworld that imply it didn't go well. And if you use your UV light on the ground, you can see blood marks on the ground that go towards the mirror in a separate room on the same floor, implying that Ricks was dragged into the Otherworld.

Good Angel, Bad Angel: Officer Coleridge is the good angel to Murphy, giving him as much respect as his own family and motivating him to apply for parole. Sewell is Murphy's bad angel, giving him the oppotunity to have revenge on Napier. Officer Coleridge honestly cares about Murphy, but Sewell only wants him to take revenge so he can use Murphy to get Coleridge for trying to have him charged with corruption.

But between flashbacks, humanoid monsters, and the various well-fleshed out ghost personalities and backstories, the town ends up feeling a little less desolate.

Murderous Mannequin: Played with in the Devil's Pit mines. At one point, Murphy comes across three eerie-looking miner mannequins, one of which suddenly falls over (and even changes position) should he get too close. Later, not long into the train ride, many more of these mannequins can be seen — then the lights flicker, and the mannequins not only change position, they get closer to Murphy. And they only get closer with every light flicker, until they're right inside the train, staring right into Murphy's face. Then the lights flicker again and they're back in their starting positions.

Weirdness Censor: The game toys with this. The Postman seems oblivious to the strange occurrences of the town and continues his route unabated. It helps that he's a manifestation of the town and has been present since before 1867. DJ Ricks has been continuing his job as a Disc Jockey despite the town being in near ruins. (This only applies in the Otherworld, as the real world is fine and functional.) Ricks is actually aware of the monsters, but plays along with the act out of fear. He says that the town has "rules" and tries to contact Murphy several times to help him escape, but the efforts later backfire.

Oh, Crap!: Three in the span of one minute: When Murphy turns on the gas on a kitchen stove, it sparks and catches fire, and he reacts with "Oh shit!". And when he pulls the fire alarm, the world around him distorts into the Otherworld ("What the hell IS THIS!?"). And when the room is filling up with water, he notices it approaching an open breaker box... Napier, too, has several in the space of a minute: When he realizes he isn't alone in the showers, then when he realizes Murphy is armed. Then he finds out the doors are locked. Then Murphy calmly reminds him that they used to be neighbors, and the realization kicks in...

Breakable Weapons
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_af8974a3
comment
Breakable Weapons: The game employs this mechanic with reasonable realism, as the different weapons have varying levels of durability that are more or less in line with what you would expect. Vases and bottles shatter with ease, chairs and wooden sticks will splinter into smaller and smaller pieces, and sturdier items like hatchets and crowbars will not break without a lot of work. You might expect certain weapons to last much longer than they actually do, though—a crowbar, for example, will not easily break in half. Of course, if you wanted to, you could probably Epileptic-Tree some of it away by arguing that Silent Hill is playing mind games by making those "sturdy" weapons break unexpectedly easily. Reality Warping and all that. The game kind of plays with the idea, especially with weapons needed to progress. You might get to break a plank or two of a boarded-up door with a pickaxe before the axe breaks—which is odd, especially when you just found it—whereas a fire axe is your safest bet on taking it down without the weapon breaking.

Town with a Dark Secret
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_b02f996a
comment
Town with a Dark Secret: Guess. However, this is the second game to suggest that the town itself is sentient, the first being Silent Hill 2. The town seems to capture people, putting them through tests to determine if they are worthy of redemption. If they succeed, they achieve some sort of closure; if they fail, they die. When DJ Ricks tells Murphy about his boat and its missing keys, Murphy replies that he will hot-wire it. Ricks responds that trying would end in failure, then says the town has some weird form of reality, complete with "rules" that must be followed. The town then demonstrates what happens when you try to break them by sending a group of screamers to grab Anne and DJ Ricks but leave Murphy unharmed.

A more standard example comes after you escape the Void the second time, and you go up a staircase. But no matter how much you go up, it never ends. In fact, in order to move on, you need to go 'down', where eventually a door will appear, putting you back in the kitchen.

Locked Door
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_bf7cad7d
comment
A much appreciated aversion: While the stages are more open and sprawling than ever before, the amount of broken Locked Doors you will encounter can be counted on one hand. Doors that you cannot go through are boarded up entirely, so you no longer need to roam around testing every single door. And of the doors that are locked but can be opened, most just require you to break the lock with a metal item.

Shout-Out
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The bus crash and Murphy's subsequent escape is more than a passing nod to The Fugitive. Word of God states that the water slide sequence is a homage to The Goonies. The reward for completing the "Cinema Verite" side-quest is the Golden Gun from the James Bond movies. The caption for it even says "just like in the movies". At one point in the monastery, a Screamer advances down a corridor while dragging her claws against the wall. One of the captains at Ryall State Prison is named Bryan Handley, which sounds rather similar to Byron Hadley. One area of the town is named Chastain Heights. Murphy's name is a reference to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - the protagonist's last name is McMurphy and the mental institution in which the novel is set is in Pendleton, Oregon.

Lighter and Softer: Insane as it may sound about a game which opens with a serial pedophile killer, Downpour is a game where things are significantly less malevolent. There is less gore, there are less extreme reactions, and a lot of people seem semi-justified in their actions. Killing the man who murdered your child is less severe than killing your wife, after all.

The letter comes with an angry note writtten by a supervisor, demanding that every sent letter must be screened and censored by her from now on. In other notes written by her, she refers to the children with nothing but disgust.

comment
Post-Final Boss: After taking the gigantic Final Boss off life support in the game's climactic battle, you have one last fight with Cunningham. She falls in only one hit, and you can take a lot of damage, but you also move very slowly, which can make it difficult to catch up to her as she shoots and sends Prisoner Juggernauts after you. If you happen to lose, you get a special ending. Or three hits from the hammer shockwave attack that the Boogeyman used on you if you can figure out how to perform it.

Mooks, but no Bosses
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_d5dddf0d
comment
Mooks, but no Bosses: Unlike previous games in the series, Downpour doesn't have traditional boss fights. Even the Final Boss is more of a Puzzle Boss encounter in which you run around throwing switches while dodging remote attacks rather than actually directly fighting a physical threat. The closest thing to a boss fight is the showdown with the Boogeyman towards the end of the game, but even that is a relatively short encounter that's more about figuring out how to cause the boss' death instead of fighting it until it runs out of health.

comment
Harbinger of Impending Doom/Hell Is That Noise: The game never explicitly says so, but the dedications are apparently an indication of monsters. DJ Ricks receives calls to his radio stationnote Implied to be coming from Silent Hill itself that ask him to play songs with dedications to Murphy, which he obligingly does. When Murphy hears these dedications, there are seemingly always monsters nearby. When Bobby finally meets Murphy and begins to discuss his plans to escape Silent Hill, he gets another call for a dedication...for himself. He does not react well; his next line to Murphy is "they're coming".

When approaching an obstacle, it may melt away in front of you, as if it's letting you go on ahead.

Endless Corridor
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_edae3679
comment
Endless Corridor: When you first flee from The Void, you go down a short corridor. You approach the corner, then the corridor extends forward, doubling in length. It continues to extend forward as you flee the Void, then just randomly stops. An unusual example in that the corridor becomes "endless" as you go through it, instead of being endless from the start. A more standard example comes after you escape the Void the second time, and you go up a staircase. But no matter how much you go up, it never ends. In fact, in order to move on, you need to go 'down', where eventually a door will appear, putting you back in the kitchen.

Early-Bird Cameo: Of the vocal sort: "Revenge is a long and treacherous road, isn't it, Mr. Pendleton? Where do you suppose it ends?" is heard in the opening. The game does not reveal whose voice that is, or its significance, until much later on. Another vocal one is so subtle that most may miss it. Just seconds after the first appearance of The Void, a voice says, "Murphy... RUN!". In either of the good endings, Frank Coleridge, who Murphy refused to kill, tells Murphy the exact same line, tone and all. The Wheelman also makes several blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearances before either it, Frank Coleridge, or any pieces of Murphy's backstory have been introduced.

Diegetic Interface
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_f4fb7564
comment
Diegetic Interface: The state of Murphy's health is discernible only through the number of wounds on his person. There is a health statistic viewable in the menu. Murphy's physical appearance still makes for a passable estimate, but the occasional case of Critical Existence Failure would take the viewer by surprise. The light from his torch also becomes clouded with a bloody filter as he takes more damage.

Sequence Breaking

comment
Sequence Breaking: Many of the game's puzzles require you to find a code to open a door. However, the numbers are the same each time, and the game will allow you to input it as soon as you find the door, bypassing the need to track it down in game.

Last-Second Ending Choice
 Silent Hill: Downpour (Video Game) / int_fb2ff597
comment
Last-Second Ending Choice: During the climax, Murphy is given the choice of killing or sparing Anne. The chosen option is then combined with the game's invisible Karma Meter for a total of four endings. There is also the less obvious choice of letting Anne kill Murphy, which counts as a separate ending.

You Killed My Father: Anne chases after Murphy for this reason; whether he did it or not depends on which ending you get.

comment
Foe Romance Subtext: So much between Cunningham and Murphy. Especially when she talks about all the sick and disgusting things she debased herself with just to get Pendleton under her thrall... Murphy and Sewell, to a lesser extent. Largely because of the prison setting.
