Possible Game Glitch, Argh!
Hi There
Would really appreciate any feedback. I think l may have stumbled upon a glitch in the game in 'The Attic'.
It's to do with the puzzle with the collected medals. I collected the Heart of Darkness medal and Fallen Star medal, put them on the jacket and then went back to do other things, and eventually saved the game without having completed the puzzle. Upon coming back to finish it the fallen star medal has vanished and isn't on the jacket, in the case where it was originally found or in my inventory.
Without the medal l can't progress any further in the game. I think l'll cry like a little girl if l have to start back from the beginning?!
Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any advice?

Apparently, the Shepherd House is extremely glitchy. I've heard of things such as the clock puzzle solution randomizing or items disappearing if you save before having finished a puzzle. There is a possibility that the medals are there, just invisible... however, if they're not (or, conversely, if they disappear completely once you take them off the jacket), you might well be screwed.
For fear of that, I saved once before starting any puzzle and didn't save again until I got out of the house.

yes when i did the medal puzzle after picking up the fallen star medal ( I believe that's the one you pick up in the same room as the mannequin you must put it on..) anyways I picked it up when I went to go put it on the mannquin it was gone, i had to restart this 3 times... finally when all the pieces were in place 1 of the lights around the door hadn't lit up.... so i went and checked every room with a puzzle... everything was there so I decided to try to leave and it worked... so if ever you run into that problem just try leaving anyways, it'll probably work...

the same thing happens in the church (o.w.) if you put 2 or 3 slabs on the lock and go save the game when you come back they might not be there. but it still says "take" and if you do it won't go in your inventory but it won't be on the lock any more, this happend to me and i had to restart the entire game!!!
The road to hell is paved with good intentions...

Homecoming is a hardcore. Saving fucks up your game.

That only happened to me once, when fighting the first Siam. Of course, the game didn't just stop... nooooo, both Siam and Alex were still in their "breathing" poses, and the fog was still moving around in the background, the music never skipped a beat, either.
Naturally, a Silent Hill game needs a surreal glitch and Siam breathing down my neck for all eternity counts.

I'm pretty lucky, I haven't gotten any serious glitches, but I've noticed that upon going into the Shepherd house, the screen goes white for a split second, and the music (Witchcraft, it's called), sounds grainy.
