Silent Hill: Homecoming is the fifth main title in the Silent Hill series, which swung back and forth between Silent Hill V and Silent Hill: Homecoming before settling on the latter. It is the second Silent Hill game to be produced by an American company, this time Double Helix Games.The main character this time around is Alex Shepherd, a Special Forces soldier who has been discharged from the hospital and sent home after being wounded in battle. Arriving in his hometown of Shepherd's Glen, he finds that all is not right with the world: the town is covered in fog, people (including his younger brother Josh) are disappearing, his father has left to look for his brother, and his mother is catatonic. The dark forces of Silent Hill soon infect the town proper, transforming it into a nightmarish otherworld where Alex must struggle to survive against hordes of monsters and waves of increasingly obtuse symbolism... as well as a group of mysterious cultists who seem to bear a grudge against him.Joining Alex on his quest is Elle (a childhood friend who is trying to survive) and Wheeler (the sheriff's deputy who just wants to get to the bottom of things). Along the way, Alex encounters several more characters — including an Expy of everyone's favorite monster, Pyramid Head.This installment is tied in several ways to the series's roots: it does away with inventory limitations (except for a cap on ammunition), it has unbreakable weapons, and it also features other characteristics of the more recent games. It has a similar atmosphere to Silent Hills 1 and 3 (straight up horror without the lingering melancholy of the second game), and it continues the series tradition of multiple endings (at least one of which is as absurd as you would expect). Alex's military past makes the combat more complex, with melee combos and dodging attacks being a major element of the gameplay. Unlike previous series protagonists, Alex can also actually aim firearms, which comes in handy.This game has a Shout Out page. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The various designs of the Otherworld and the monsters within it evoke gashes, genital pain, and Vagina Dentata, a mark of the main character's being marked for death since birth. Schisms, given their behavior in Hell House, also likely represent the broken state of the Shepherd family. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: As per Silent Hill tradition... Good Ending: Alex defeats Amnion, is reunited with Elle, and leaves Silent Hill. While Wheeler is not seen in this ending, it's implied he survives and leaves, as well. Drowning: Alex awakens in the bathtub in his house. His father walks in and pushes him under, reassuring him that with his death, Joshua can carry on the family legacy. Bogeyman: Alex awakens strapped to a chair and is transformed by two Bogeymen into one of them. Hospital: Alex awakens in the mental hospital, where he is told he must accept reality and responsibility for his actions, then he is administered electroshock therapy. It is revealed that he is the patient in room 206. UFO: Alex defeats Amnion, is reunited with Elle, and they are abducted by aliens. Somewhat controversially, it is actually quite possible to stumble upon this ending during a first playthrough of the game, where previous games in the series only allowed for it in New Game Plus. | |

Amnion represents Joshua Shepherd, who was accidentally killed by Alex when he drowned in the lake. It takes the form of a bloated, pregnant corpse with an umbilical cord in its mouth attached to a variety of rusted metal spider legs, fitting with Joshua's love of bugs. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_1d18887f | comment |
Pay Evil unto Evil: Pyramid Head is back, with available notes expanding him into a Bogeyman figure used to terrify children into obedience. He serves the same role as in Silent Hill 2, punishing wrongdoing and sin...but never harms Alex, in fact walking right past him on one occasion. He can be seen in the Grand Hotel, and his Great Knife can be heard scraping across the ground in Hell Descent and the Overlook Penitentiary, hinting that he's nearby. As revealed with his only kill, Adam, he's there to punish the parents who murdered their children. The problem is, Alex (and artifacts that summoned the kids' vengeful spirits) got there first. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Alex's mother will suffer a particularly nasty death if the player doesn't select the option to shoot her and put her out of her misery. The former's fate isn't easy to watch even if one does select that option, but at least then she's already dead when the nasty part happens. Adam is slowly sliced in half by the Bogeyman. Judge Holloway ends up with her own drill shoved through the bottom of her jaw, though Alex can suffer a similar fate if the player fails the Press X to Not Die prompt. All of the deaths of the children are downright nasty, but poor Scarlet was dismembered alive. | |

Creepy Cockroach | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_20c73e98 | comment |
Creepy Cockroach: This game has a variation with the Swarm, a leech/roach hybrid. And they do more than look creepy — upon spotting Alex, they latch on to him to drain health from him and will keep doing so until either they die or Alex does, as their introductory cut-scene shows.note They can be yanked off of Alex, but that's only a temporary solution, as they'll keep coming back. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Just as you get into the Shepherds' backyard, you see a little abandoned doghouse, and Alex will wonder where the dog is. Guess what the next enemy type is. Alex has to reach into a sinister-looking hole in the wall to get an important key item, just like James in Silent Hill 2. This time, though, there's something else in there. There's also a point at which Alex has to jump down a hole, and another where he descends a long staircase into darkness, which are also things James did in his game. Quite a few references to the movie abound as well, so much so that some have dubbed this Silent Hill the Movie: The Game. The cutscene that introduces the Smog enemy looks identical to the introduction of the Armless Man from the movie, the Nurses look like they did in the movie, the Bogeyman resembles the movie's version of Pyramid Head, and the church is the same as the church from the movie. The Otherworld transition also looks identical to how it was depicted in the movie. Some of the achievements are also these, including Shades of James (Defeated 1 Siam), Eddie's Legacy (Defeated 1 Feral), Kaufmann's Handiwork (Found 1 Serum), Alchemilla's Finest (Defeated 1 Nurse) and The Old Gods Haven't Left This Place (Complete game on HARD difficulty). | |

| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_27ab0123 | comment |
Offing the Offspring: The game is basically a study of how abuse destroys the family and how a cult's twisted demands tore it apart even further. The entire game is set off by the fact that parents are required to kill their children in specific ways every 50 years for the continued survival of the town. | |

World of Symbolism | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_285f34c7 | comment |
World of Symbolism: It is a Silent Hill game. Many of the enemies are based on bugs and spiders, or have spider and bug-like movements, symbolizing Joshua's love of bugs. Water plays a heavy role in a variety of the game's puzzles and environments, and some enemies can only be found in water. Twofold symbolism on this. Firstly, it can symbolize Alex's originally intended fate, to be drowned as a sacrifice. Secondly, it can symbolize Joshua's death by falling into the lake after hitting his head. Pyramid Head, a.k.a. the Bogeyman, wields a massive knife as per usual. Unlike his original appearance, this knife resembles a combat knife, symbolizing Adam's military past. This can also apply to Alex, but in his case it's just his own delusion. Each of the boss monsters symbolize the founding families' sacrificed children and how they each were murdered. Sepulcher symbolizes Joey Bartlett, who was buried alive by his family and had a love for plants and nature. It takes the form of a giant, malformed humanoid creature melded with plantlife. Scarlet symbolizes Scarlet Fitch, who was dismembered and had a love of dolls. It takes the form of a large, slender porcelain doll with disjointed limbs. Asphyxia represents Nora Holloway, who was asphyxiated. It takes the form of a human centipede whose hands are always groping at its body, with two more keeping its mouth closed to it cannot breathe. Amnion represents Joshua Shepherd, who was accidentally killed by Alex when he drowned in the lake. It takes the form of a bloated, pregnant corpse with an umbilical cord in its mouth attached to a variety of rusted metal spider legs, fitting with Joshua's love of bugs. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: The Axes can be very difficult to use effectively because their recovery times make you very vulnerable to counter attacks. That being said, if one finds a way to impeccably evade counter attacks, an axe can rack up damage quickly, it's just that the recovery time from the finishing swing leaves you wide open, especially if you're outnumbered. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: So, so many glitches and bugs are found in this game, especially the PS3 version. These range from amusing to making the game unwinnable, and aren't fixed upon resetting the game, forcing you to either reload an earlier save, or start the whole game over. Here's just a few found in the game: The entire Hell House segment is glitched to all hell. It's possible to go out of bounds at any time. During the fight against Scarlet Fitch, it's possible that the second phase of the battle simply won't begin. And then we just have fun ones like this, where shoddy pathing and collision detection results in two hell-hounds stacking on top of one another and rocking out. In the sewers, just after fighting some Needlers near the broken down car it is possible for the XBOX version of the game to simply not progress any further. | |

Kill the Ones You Love | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_39684516 | comment |
Kill the Ones You Love: In order to have a chance at getting the good ending, you have to kill Alex's mother in order to stop her suffering. Mayor Bartlett and Doctor Fitch were forced to sacrifice their own children as part of the pact. Judge Holloway did the same; however, unlike the former two, she didn't feel guilty about killing Nora. This is notably defied by Adam and Lillian Shepard. They treated Alex like dirt his whole life in order to not get attached to him, as he was always planned to be sacrificed, and instead focused all their love on Josh who was meant to survive. Ultimately, however, it did not work. | |

Artifact of Doom: A variant in that the artifacts don't become deadly until they achieve proximity to certain people in the Otherworld. Items that were once held dear to the children Joey, Scarlet, Nora, and Josh are at various points exposed to the people who killed them, summoning the kids' vengeful spirits as the game's boss monsters. They're not happy and make their displeasure known. | |

| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The Good ending. The Order and their plans are defeated, Alex and Elle escape alive, and Alex has come to terms with his past actions, but Joshua is still dead, several other people from the town have died in front of him including his parents, the missing people from Shepherd's Glen are not found and are likely dead, and Shepherd's Glen itself is likely a total loss. Depending on your actions at the end, Wheeler may or may not be alive. | |

Actionized Sequel | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_4389e368 | comment |
Actionized Sequel: At least a downplayed example. Compared to the four original games, Homecoming has a much more developed melee combat system, including combos, a powerful dodge move, and a lock-on camera that turns every fight into a one-on-one duel. This (plus stronger healing items and propensity of enemies to get stunlocked) makes melee combat pretty viable by itself, whereas the previous games favored fleeing or using up precious ammo. Enemy encounters are still spaced out evenly and the game's overall pace is still pretty slow and brooding. | |

Would Hurt a Child: The entire reason the game's plot happens. Each of the founding families of Shepherd's Glen made a pact with the Order's god to sacrifice their children every fifty years. One family, however, did not uphold their end of the bargain, leading to the town being taken over by Silent Hill's influence. The family in question? Shepherd. | |

Adaptation Distillation: More accurately, a distillation of what worked in a previous adaptation. The "flaking off" effect used in the Silent Hill film adaption to depict the transition to the Otherworld was lifted to be used in this game, as were a few Gas Mask Mooks and the Nurses. The Bogeyman also resembles the film's version of Pyramid Head. | |

Spanner in the Works | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_60194b82 | comment |
Alex, overlaps with Spanner in the Works. When the founders left Silent Hill to found Shepherd's Glen, The Order made them swear to perform a human sacrifice every 50 years to appease their God. In the case of the Shepherd family, it was Alex. However, when Alex accidentally kills his brother Josh, his parents couldn't bear to lose him too, and refused to sacrifice him. This broke the pact, and caused Silent Hill to invade Shepherd's Glen; triggering the game's events. | |

Cell Phones Are Useless | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_74f57438 | comment |
Cell Phones Are Useless: As in previous entries in the series, nearby monsters cause interference with radio signals, manifesting as static. In previous entries, the radio carried by the protagonist was noted as "broken" (and therefore only useful for monster detection), but this time Alex is carrying a working two-way radio that he occasionally uses to communicate with others. At least once, Alex actually loses contact with someone because a monster gets too close and disrupts the signal. Interestingly, the Order members are not counted as monsters (as they seem to actually be human), and so do not interfere with the radio. | |

Half the Man He Used to Be: If a Schism manages to grapple and overpower Alex, it will slice him in two with a cruel swing of its bladed head. Right after Alex's gurney ride in the intro, you can see through the windowed door the gurney-pusher being impaled and sliced in half by a gigantic blade. Even though you don't see the one using it, it's clearly the Bogeyman's blade, and later in the level, you see the halved man's body in two different locations. The Bogeyman also graphically cuts a more important character in half later in the game. | |

Be as Unhelpful as Possible: Everyone but Alex, Elle and Wheeler seem to know something about what's going on in Silent Hill, but refuse to give any helpful advice to Alex. It's ultimately justified, in that Judge Holloway and Curtis are behind the dissappearances, while the other founding families are too broken after the deaths of their children to care. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Alex, overlaps with Spanner in the Works. When the founders left Silent Hill to found Shepherd's Glen, The Order made them swear to perform a human sacrifice every 50 years to appease their God. In the case of the Shepherd family, it was Alex. However, when Alex accidentally kills his brother Josh, his parents couldn't bear to lose him too, and refused to sacrifice him. This broke the pact, and caused Silent Hill to invade Shepherd's Glen; triggering the game's events. Alex giving Judge Holloway her necklace back allows her to figure out that Elle stole it from her. This is the final straw between Elle and her, and promptly orders Elle's death. | |

Dr. Jerk: Dr. Wheeler in the Hospital ending is incredibly harsh to Alex, administering highly-painful electroshock therapy. It's implied that, since Alex is the patient in room 206, he's fed up with Alex by now and the electroshock is a last resort for a particularly troublesome patient. | |

Needlers are fast in melee and can block attacks and even bullets with their blade arms, while Schisms deal heavy damage and can even instant-kill you if they grab you. | |

Abandoned Hospital: Alchemilla Hospital, which first appears in Alex's nightmare as an asylum and then in the real world as a more conventional medical facility. Dr. Fitch's office is just a tiny medical clinic, and when you transition to the Otherworld within it, you find yourself descending a series of rusty staircases that look nothing like a hospital even in general layout. However, you find many signs and instructions on the walls that you'd see in a hospital, including things like "You may be required to provide a urine sample" or visiting hours times. | |

Abusive Parents: It's blatantly obvious that Alex's parents loved Joshua more and constantly treated Alex like dirt. This is because Alex was to be sacrificed and they didn't want to become attached to a doomed child. It is also revealed that they both did genuinely love Alex, in spite of their attempts not to. Many of the other parents could also qualify, although they don't really have a choice about killing their kids. Judge Holloway, however, is perfectly happy to hurt both her children. | |

The Un-Favorite: Alex had a horrible childhood. By his father's own admission: "I reduced fatherhood to a chore: fed him, clothed him, and put him to bed on routine. Then when God blessed me with a second son, he might as well have been a stranger sleeping in our house...I treated the dog with more respect." The reality was far worse, as Adam was both physically and mentally abusive in a variety of ways. He is shown in flashbacks to explode at Alex for the slightest of reasons, and made up rules on the spot just to lash out. He eventually forbade Josh and Alex from becoming friends, deliberately driving a wedge between them. His mother wasn't much better as she silently tolerated everything. This was because Alex was chosen as the sacrifice for the Shepard family, and they didn't want to get attached. Still they never even told him why, or what he was. Meaning one day they were just going to drown him and call it good. | |

| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: This is the only entry in the series where the God of Silent Hill has basically already won. Rather than a plot to bring God into the world, the plot in this game centers on people who are already aware of how evil Silent Hill's God is and have made a pact to keep it at bay. That pact enforces murder of a child by their parent every generation. Fail to murder your child in a specific manner by a specific date, and your hometown becomes Hell on Earth with no way to bring it back. And no, the child who died by accident won't suffice. | |

For example through the order, she rules Shepherd's Glen like a despot and murders, or has murdered, anyone who crosses her. She even attempts to have Elle killed, because she won't obey her. | |

Fan Disservice: Pretty much a staple of the series, with many monsters resembling naked women with some...less desirable qualities. The Nurses obviously qualify, but there's also the female half of the Siams and Asphyxia who go straight into Body Horror territory. | |

Human Sacrifice | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_c66cb5a9 | comment |
Human Sacrifice: When Shepherd's Glen was founded, these had to be performed every 50 years to appease the Order's god. The major monsters in the game are the vengeful spirits of several children who were murdered by their parents for this reason, and the entire game happens because Alex's parents reneged on their part and refused to do the same to him. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: As always with this franchise, some of the most unnerving moments are where you're just exploring the desolate areas rather than fighting monsters. In fact, many of the Otherworld areas in Homecoming are surprisingly monster-free. Hell Descent in particular has very, very few monsters in general. In regards to the soundtrack, "Shores of Silent Hill" is just the sound of wind blowing, while "Whispers" is, of course, a bunch of whispering. Both are ridiculously unnerving, in the game and out of it. | |

Albeit, the item's description saying it will "boost my health" may come across as ambiguous when "increases my maximum health" would be more clear. | |

Medal of Dishonor | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_d3354565 | comment |
Medal of Dishonor: A rather bizarre twist on this. A document notes that Alex's father received a Good Conduct medal, a Purple Heart, and a Silver Star during his time in the Army. A puzzle shortly thereafter requires Alex to pin the medals on a uniform. However, the actual puzzle exists in the nightmarish "Otherworld", and the awards are turned is dark spin on normal American military honors. They contrast Adam's excellent military service record with the lousy way he treated his family (particularly Alex) as well as Alex and his actions: The Heart of Darkness (Purple Heart) is for "permitting others to suffer" for allowing the townspeople of Shepherd's Glen to be kidnapped, killed, and brainwashed by the Order and Alex allowing others to suffer because of his actions. The Vile Acts (Good Conduct) award is for "atrocities committed", is for treating Alex poorly and Alex killing Joshua. It even looks like Pyramid Head's helmet. Fallen Star (Silver Star) is for "dereliction in the line of duty" is for failing to sacrifice Alex and Alex not fulfilling his role as the sacrifice. | |

Moment of Weakness: Despite Adam's attempts to drive them apart, Alex is generally a loving brother to Joshua from what we see of them. However, his resentment of his little brother's favoritism from the parents eventually boiled over and caused him to lash out, with fatal consequences when it happened at the wrong time. | |

Guns Are Worthless | |
| Silent Hill: Homecoming (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb | comment |
Guns Are Worthless: Zig-Zagged. Guns are generally a lot stronger than melee weapons and significantly mitigate the risk of getting Alex hurt in melee, but this strategy doesn't work every time. Needlers can block bullets, forcing players to get into melee and learn the timing for attacking and defending unless they're really good shots. On the other hand, trying to deal with a Smog in melee is guaranteed to end in you getting owned, so guns are pretty much enforced. | |
