Silent Hill 2 Remake developer Bloober Team made a handful of small changes to the beloved survival horror game and players have now discovered another: creepy messages hidden in TV static.
As reported by PC Gamer, YouTuber Shiba uploaded two videos after discovering the secrets. "A message is playing on the TV in Brookhaven Hospital, transmitted in Morse code," they said. "The sound is mostly drowned out by the static from the TV, making it difficult to hear clearly. However, the Morse code is distinct, with a clicking noise that resembles a telegraph."
Shiba shows the TV doing so, and translates the code as saying "again and again and again" in perpetuity. The TVs in the nurses' lounge and the break room of the Boar section of Toluca Prison play the same messages.
Not every TV in the game does so though, as the Woodside Apartments set, Brookhaven Hospital set, and room 106 at Jack's Inn set all display another message: "Why did you do it James?"
Both messages fuel different fan theories but it's unclear if there are any further answers hidden in the game. Regardless, they add to the mystery and mythos of Silent Hill 2 and hopes for more questions to be answered in the future.
Bloober Team and publisher Konami released the Silent Hill 2 remake on October 8 to glowing critical reception and strong sales, leaving many fans of the previously dormant horror franchise eager for more.
Bloober has said it's open to making other Silent Hill games, though at the moment is focused on its sci-fi survival horror game Cronos: The New Dawn.
In our 8/10 review of the Silent Hill 2 remake, IGN said: "Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."
