So, when did Henry visit Silent Hill?

Henry's locked in his apartment and can't get out. Bless.

I'm fairly certain that no specific date is given.

"A long ass time ago" will suffice.

At various times throughout his life? He went there a lot as a kid, and apparently liked it enough that he went back at later times.

He did go there recently enough, since he reckoned the time it took to get there by car. And I'm assuming he's the one who drove.

Where does it say he went a lot as a kid? I honestly don't remember there being any mention of when he went--be it "a long ass time ago" or more recently: he never specifies when it was.

In the beginning of the game, when you're looking at some of the photos he has up around his apartment, I believe he says at some point, "I used to go there a lot as a kid," or some variation thereof.

Yeah, he also took photos of the streets and lighthouse, but I don't recall anything about "being there as a kid."

Turns out, in the very first sticky in the top of SH4, there's this awesome little thread that has ALL the texts from the game, including the little thoughts Henry has to himself.

http://www.silenthillforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=109

And in it, is says, when he's looking at the photos of himself next to the lamp in the living room:

# Henry-
# #1. - "It's a photo of me as a kid and then when I graduated from high school."
# #2. - "I was that age once too..."
# #3. - "I was that age once too...It's not a very sentimental memory for me."
# #4. - "I visited Silent Hill lots of times when I was that age..."

I'm assuming he was talking about the younger of the two pictures, since graduating from high school wasn't that terribly long ago for him.

ya i was always under the impression that he went there as a child for one reason or another and then as an adult returned to revisit those memories / sites.

Pfft and look where it got him :roll:

A big picture above Henry's bed
at start of a game:

"It's that lake in Silent Hill.
--> I went sightseeing there a few years ago. <---
I like this photo because it really
captures the beauty and tranquility
of the trees and lake there.
I put this up on the wall right after
I moved here."

Framed pics at start of the game...

"It's a photo of me as a kid and then
when I graduated from high school."

..and after you have completed Building World

"I visited Silent Hill lots of times when
I was that age..."


That information was brought to us by Akheon and Complete SH4 Field texts
Thanks to him for collecting all quotes from Henry:)

EDIT: Didn't look close enough, Sionnan did apparently post quote from framed pics.

As Otto and Sionnan pointed out, several times through his life, nothing in particular connects him with Silent Hill except Walters room.

There is a difference between "kid" and "teenager".

It also states that "Used to visit Silent Hill when he was younger" on his card thing in Translated Memories.

I may have completely misunderstood the question, but I thought he was referring to ingame. If that is the case WishHouse is one part of Silent Hill he visited, though the majority of the game takes place elsewhere.
