Silent Hill: Shattered Memories/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * Most of the characters in Shattered Memories resemble their namesakes in the original. They have different personalities, but their roles are the same - Cybil's still a cop, Lisa's still a nurse, and so on. So why does Dahlia look like a piece of jailbait when the original was a creepy old woman? Then you get to the end and realize . So she DOES fulfill a similar role to her original self. The designers did this deliberately to mess with people who have preconceived notions about Shattered Memories based on the original game; one said "We want people to look and say, 'Hey, that's not Dahlia!'"
 * During one of the therapy sessions, the player is asked by Dr. K to choose words that might have been used to describe them in high school. One of the words,
 * In the spoof UFO ending
 * The meanings of the mementos could probably have their own page in this. The best example would be the last two mementos you can find, two halves of a pendant. They have two pictures when formed, . When put together, it reads "never forget true happiness" with the first two words on half and the last two on . Remembering Kaufman's words at the end, this message could be for.
 * On top of that,
 * The nightmare world doesn't emerge at certain locations simply because that's where Harry uncovers an important plot point,
 * Another explination been put forth is that the Nightmare Sequences are  way for keeping Harry away. If Harry arrvied, she'd realize the truth. It's her way of keeping him, the REAL him, away from her.
 * Was the girl who got drugged at the party supposed to be ? I thought it was implied in the second party echo that that girl died. ("We thought she was still swimming, but she wasn't moving.") Furthermore, that girl is referred to as "the new girl", while has lived in Silent Hill her whole life.
 * This troper didn't realize this until watching an episode of NCIS, but static also has another term: "snow". Considering that static is heard as Rawshocks get nearer or just before the icy Otherworld emerges...
 * Dahlia appeared as though she didn't age all that well: in the "flirty" incarnation, for example, she grew to be an overweight, wrinkly old woman pathetically clinging to her youth by dressing like a tramp despite her age. Then you realise that it's how

Fridge Logic

 * In the, the windows freeze over and the raw shocks scratch "Stop fighting", "It will all be over soon", and "So cold" into the frost on the windows. This implies that they very much dislike their current cold, icy situation. If this is so, why do they cower in fear as soon as Harry lights up a bright, warm emergency flare?
 * The way it was worded, it sounded more like the raw shocks were taunting Harry rather than expressing their distaste for the frozen atmosphere.
 * If not this, it's also possible that the monsters themselves are being tortured by Silent Hill. They're trying to absorb his body heat, after all.
 * Alternatively, have you ever been outside in below freezing temperatures only to come inside and try running your hands under a stream of hot water? The sensation isn't pleasant.
 * One way to think about this: Are the raw shocks talking to Harry? Or to Cheryl? Harry has been fighting to get in--Cheryl has been fighting to keep him out.
 * It could also be what remains of Cheryl's mental stability-she knows how screwed up she is and is begging to be let out of her Self-Inflicted Hell.
