Antique Shop Clock

Post by **Dark Shadow** » 22 Feb 2010

Sorry if this has been posted before but i didn't find anything, so apologies in advance. The first time you enter the antique shop if you examine the clock you'll see it's stopped at 3 o'clock. Now it could be a coincidence, but that time can represent two things. 3 pm is the hour Jesus died on the cross, and the opposite, 3 am, is considered the devil's hour. In other words 3 pm is considered the hour of mercy while 3 am is considered the hour of darkness. This clock is also right before the Otherworld shift. So while it could be nothing it's still something interesting to think about.

I never noticed that before, nor did I realize the time importance either. I wonder if it's a random coincidence that they did it, or if that was actually why. I mean, they've used other supersticious numbers in things, right? FourIsDeath, whatnot.

The fact that when you examine the clock it shows the time but has no other importance makes me think it was intentional, but who knows.

Well, it is a puzzle in Nowhere, so being able to examine the clock once may be to remind you to examine it again when it reappears.

But it's always nice to have meaning.

Interesting, Sillent Hill 1 has many little details. I wish all the SH games were as detailed.

Erm, they aren't imo. SH2 and SH3 maybe, but not Homecoming and I'm still playing SH4 and I just ordered SHO for the PS2 yesterday. My above statement doesn't rule out every SH game. It's an opinion, just like your comment is your opinion. Considering the games of that time period and even today, SH1 is extremely detailed in every aspect imo.

it could signify the time that alessa " split" into cheryl. sorta like in SH Homecoming, when all the clocks stopped at 206.... seems good
