Downpour Easter Eggs (spoilers within)

^Yes, you can post spoiler free within this thread due to it being in the Spoilers section.

I thought those were pretty interesting, actually. I think I remember one saying "Are you sure you're alone?"

I heard of those special phrases popping up in the loading screen, but I've only run into two of them:

1. Murphy cannot continue with his life until he overcomes the Boogeyman

2. Was it worth it?

[five5sixers]

The only "special phrase" I got, and I'm not even sure if it's special, was "It's in the room, you just can't see it."

[Avianna]

The only "special phrase" I got, and I'm not even sure if it's special, was "It's in the room, you just can't see it."

I liked the phrase, "STOP DOING THAT" myself and "Its knows you're alone."

[Aerith Gainsborough]

Yeah, those are super, super creepy. They're great to think about after you beat the game, since many of them make so much more sense after you beat it.

[Number 7]

I got one that said "We are all slowly dying."

[NanayaShiki]

I love those messages on the loading screens. I can't wait until there is a complete list of all of them. I got:
They never loved you.
She is lying to you.
STOP DOING THAT.
It knows you're alone.

I don't know if this was intentional or not as it's pretty obscure, but in the "Thief..." sidequest; in the child's bedroom, I found a hammer in the drawer by the child's bed. In Poppy Z. Brite's novel "Drawing Blood", a father murders his son with a hammer while he lies asleep in bed. Being as there is a Brite St. in the new area of town, and this novel also deals with an OtherWorld (referred to as Birdland), it seems like a possibility.

[The Adversary]

In SILENT HILL: DOWNPOUR, the warden of Overlook Penitentiary is Steven Creviston. In PAST LIFE, set in 1867, the sheriff of Silent Hill, who spends most of his time at Toluca Prison, is Seth Creviston. Clearly law enforcement runs in the family.

couple more pics I took:

"Demon Samael"

"Shepherd House"

"Welcome to Shepherd's Glen"

[The Adversary]

I totally spotted the Baphomet pic months ago. Nailed it!

During one of the Otherword sequences when you are sliding down for a while, you can see Cheryl running across a metal walkway. You slide down some more and then you can see Harry running across a similar type walkway.

PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:

I'm pretty sure what you saw wasn't Harry and Cheryl but was in fact the little girl from later in the game and Anne (the prison guard lady). I paused the walkthrough I was watching to check. Though I might be wrong, probably worth checking out.

You're right... the second time I watched it, I saw it very clearly. My wrong...no Harry / Cheryl.

I kept re-loading that part over and over trying to figure out who those people were, I though the second person was James Sunderland or a second Murphy. Do you have a screenshot or a link to that video?

[Brian J Flesh]

ok, shocked no one has mentioned these two-

1.Overlook Penitentiary-"overlook" was the name of the hotel in THE SHINNING.

2.Side Misson where you have to take the ashes to the doc next to the lake. Murphy picks up a picture and says "this must have been someones SPECIAL PLACE" and you take the ashes to the riverside doc. In silent hill 2 james meets up with Maria and she says to him "she said to meet you in your special place? and thats here?" on the doc next to the water.

Murphy's Cell is 302
In Pearl Creek, Murphy can visit a replica of Room 302.
the mentioning of previous generations of the Gillespie family
the welcome to Shepherd's glen picture
the dj plays the original silent hill theme when you meet him

I think his cell number was more of a reference to Shawshank Redemption, (cited as an inspiration,) see my good friend Mr. Red here, he'll show you why it may be a reference to Shawshank. (btw, noticed this while watching the movie )

[Aerith Gainsborough]

^Ironically, that movie was on TV today. I think it's nice that Shawshank was an inspiration for the game. It's a great movie. Many of the inspirations were great novels/movies.

[VenusDoom]

^ That's where I noticed it actually, And agreed completely, Shawshank is one of my favorite movies.

[Arachnid1]

I'm pretty sure I saw a painting of Alessa in the bank.

[Aerith Gainsborough]

^Are you talking about the recurring picture of the black haired girl with the red dress? She's not Alessa, from my knowledge. I believe she and the little girl you see in the Orphanage are supposed to be the same, but I think they ended up changing the model later on. I could be wrong, though.

That's an interesting theory, because at one point in the library it actually lets you examine the picture, and the title is "When You Lose The One You Love" or something like that. Could be a clue about Anne?

I think the little girl is merely just another of Napier's victims.

[Aerith Gainsborough]

Concerning the little girl...

PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:

I was doing the Ribbons side quest today. At the end when you go into the little girl's home and see the confession letter her mother wrote, basically saying she couldn't stand her daughter anymore (seemed to apply that she killed her or lead her to be killed), you can go into a child's room and that picture is in there. You see that picture often in the game, but I found it really impacting that it was there, especially when you're in the Centennial Building and the caption says "When you lose someone you love."
