On October 8, Silent Hill 2 was released in our video game stores on PS5 and PC. Bloober Team's horror game has added several new features in its reinterpretation of the cult game, including a puzzle that has only just been solved.
One less mystery!
In their restless dreams, all horror fans see this city. Silent Hill ! 23 years after scaring all the curious who tried to venture into the cursed city, Silent Hill 2 is still the illustrious representative of the psychological horror game thanks to its excellent remake. From the Wood Side Building to Toluca Prison to Brookhaven Hospital, the players who control the destiny of James Sunderland have faced unspeakable horrors as they discover this version of Bloober Team. Certainly, the scenario does not stray far from that of the original work, but the studio has made particularly judicious choices. The numerous additional documents make it possible to explain the scenario without providing all the keys to understanding, while increasing the number of intriguing avenues. Among them, we find strange photos, absent in 2001. A player has just found their meaning and here solves one of the last mysteries of the software published by Konami.

What does the strange photos riddle mean in Silent Hill 2?
The foggy streets of Silent Hill contain strange photos that the player can pick up. Every time he finds one, he always notices the same thing: a blurry image with cryptic text and a number written on the back of the snapshot. The players knew that these photos were not posed there innocently, and that there was necessarily something fishy going on. On Reddituser DaleRobinson managed to make sense of it all, and decipher the hidden message.
As he explains in a long post, he took the numbers in order (from 1 to 26), then counted the elements that stood out most in the images to determine which letter to keep from the written message. For example, in the first photo found, we can count 6 open windows. The sixth letter of the message “SO MANY PEOPLE HERE!” is the “Y”. By applying this method to the 26 documents hidden in the bowels of Silent Hill, a sentence is thus created: “YOUVE BEEN HERE FOR TWO DECADES” which can be translated as “you have been here for two decades”. A message which may seem innocuous, but which seems to confirm a theory about this remake which we will keep quiet so as not to spoil it for those who would like to discover the software. On Reddit, a slew of thanks flooded the subject: fans finally have the answer to this mystery which is no longer really mysterious.
