Speculation One last potential SH1 Remake cast member I could find
Hey y'all !
So, after the MP1st article showing some of their findings that corresponds with mine, I believe I may have found another member of the SH1 Remake.
However, this one is a little iffier, but it's always fun to speculate. As always, take it with a grain of salt.


Julia Brown, who follows and is followed by Zachary (Harry) and Mateusz (Director of the Game)
And from what I can tell, they haven't worked together before.
She did do a video game before already, where she looked like this :

So of course, my immediate guess would be Cybil Bennett aha
Anyways, I don't think I'll be able to find anymore because Dahlia's actress doesn't have social media and I wouldn't be surprised if neither does Kaufmann nor Alessa or Cheryl. The first two are a bit on the older side while the other two are probably too young.
That and I wouldn't be surprised if Bloober makes sure that they can't be found after MP1st's article.

Silent Hill (1999) Just started this gem for the 1st time today
As a big fan of resident evil i'm truly impressed of how good this game still holds up today and i could easily say that so far i'm liking it alot more than classic Re1.
so far i've managed to solve the piano puzzle (i'm proud of this one lol) and got to the nightmare school.
feels great to experience the og silenthill DNA once again (i've only played 2 and 3 )

Fanmade A updated showcase of my fortnite map, Silent Hill 2 RECREATIONS a year after it's release. Code is 8055-3746-4726
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Wanted to post an updated showcase of my fortnite map with it being over a year since it's initial release. A lot of stuff has been added since then and I thought I'd showcase how it is now! This doesn't include footage of the new location "Flower Shop" as this was filmed right before that update dropped.
Code: 8055-3746-4726
Silent Hill 2: RECREATIONS is a project made on
Fortnite Creative/UEFN to bring in as many locations from the game as possible into a Fortnite Creative map. This is not a recreation of the entire game; it is purely a passion project that can be explored and used for hangouts.

Merchandise I Met the Legendary Usagi Tanaka During My Solo Trip to Japan!
Meeting him was such a surreal experience! Since I was traveling to Japan and I enjoy collecting autographs, I decided to message him, and to my surprise, he agreed! I didn’t want to come empty-handed, so I bought him a Robbie the Rabbit jacket from my local Hot Topic that he had wanted, plus a few other goodies! Meeting Usagi in person was truly one of the highlights of my Japan trip. We talked for a while, primarily through translation apps. He was very sweet and kind, and he even surprised me with some gifts from his Zombie Bunny line and a little Robbie :). I'll cherish these gifts and autographs in my collection!

Silent Hill 2 (2001) Custom steam silent hill 2
Hey everyone, just wanted to share the custom Steam library setup I put together for Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition.
Since it’s a non-Steam game, the default blank page looked pretty depressing. I spent a few minutes hunting down clean community assets, matching up the transparent logo, and setting up the hero background of James looking into the mirror.
I think the final layout looks incredibly clean and fits the atmosphere perfectly. Let me know what you think!

General Discussion The *NEW* Definitive SILENT HILL PC Install Guide || UPDATED REGULARLY
\Updated 10/19/2026])
This guide prioritizes official releases, native PC ports, emulation, and recreations in that order.
A L L U S E R S M U S T R E A D :
Use Ctrl+F to find the game you are looking for.
ALL games require the apps detailed in the [PREREQUISITES] section.
This is a remake of this old guide. Older methods are detailed there.
If you have a question, please ask in the comments.
Check if you question has already been answered in the comments first.
If not, start your question with the title of the game you need help with.
PLEASE DO NOT DM ME. THANK YOU!

[INTRODUCTION]
This guide is intended for Windows 11 ONLY. (Windows 10 should also work.)
Any additional support will be for Steam Deck.
I cannot personally test Steam Deck guides but will provide resources as I find them
Each section will prioritize the native PC experience, but will also list the recommended emulator and basic settings to run it optimally. If no native PC experience yet exists, the emulator instructions will be more detailed.
NOTE:
Emulation is NOT illegal.
This guide is aimed at preserving these games, not piracy. At the time of writing, many of these games are no longer available for official purchase through KONAMI. If any official and purchasable method becomes available, I will update this guide to reflect the official version as the preferred method.
-
[NOTE ON PLAY ORDER]
All SILENT HILL titles can be played in any order.
The series is an anthology series with independent stories. Playing the titles chronologically may include references to past titles and Easter eggs to reward long time players, but are not essential for the experience.
The only caveat is that SILENT HILL 3, SILENT HILL ORIGINS/SILENT HILL ZERO, and SILENT HILL: SHATTERED MEMORIES all have some relationship to the original SILENT HILL (1999).
SILENT HILL (1999) can still be safely played after these titles, but it is still highly recommended to play SILENT HILL (1999) first.
-
[SILENT (s)HILL]
I have a YouTube channel for narrative analysis deep-dives on Silent Hill games called
[the midnight snow]
I also regularly stream narrative-driven games including Silent Hill on my Twitch.
You may also contact me with more specific tech support or other inquires directly through our community Discord.
Thank you!

This is two questions about Silent Hill 1999 and Shattered Memories
Do you guys think Harry is a better father in 1999 or in Shattered Memories, Love Lost
I consider Love Lost to be the canon Harry. He spends the entirety of Shattered Memories looking for her, and its clear he cares for his daughter. Thats just me though, I was wondering what you all consider his Canon Ending
