Silent Hill: Shattered Memories/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alternative Character Interpretation:
    • In a way, the entire game is this for the very first game.
    • There are many different theories as to the nature of Harry and Cheryl's relationship, usually bordering somewhere between "guilty over Harry's death" and straight up Parental Incest.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome:
    • As always with Akira Yamaoka, the soundtrack tends to set the tone in every portion of the game.
    • Mary Elizabeth McGlynn recorded the vocals for all four endings and each one is amazing.
  • Hell Is That Noise:
    • I love my daddy! I love my daddy! Ilovemydaddy! I love mydaddy!
    • The overhead speaker playing music above ball pit in the restaurant.
  • It's Short, So It Sucks: A frequent criticism leveled against the game. Its fans maintain that it's just as long as any other Silent Hill game, only with most of the aimless wandering, tedious combat and obscure puzzles trimmed.
  • Memetic Molester

Kaufman: You know, people who are getting enough don't need analysis. You clearly are not getting enough.

  • Most Annoying Sound: "I love my daddy! I love my daddy! I love my daddy! I love my daddy!"
  • Narm Charm: Cheryl? CHERYL! ...Sweetie?
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks
  • What an Idiot!: Harry finds out the hard way that stairs and wheelchairs don't mix. As a result, he starts the nightmare sequence with a limp.
  • The Woobie: Cheryl Mason. Whether she had an abusive parent or not, the poor girl really has not had the nicest of lives.
