The solution spells out “YOUVE BEEN HERE FOR TWO DECADES” which confirms one of the fan theories that James Sunderland has been stuck in the town of Silent Hill, and has been reliving it over and over. There are hints scattered about throughout the town that lends itself well to this theory, and now, it’s confirmed.

To squash any doubt about this, Silent Hill 2 remake Creative Director Mateusz Lenart even mentioned it on Twitter/X, where he also shared that the dev team originally thought the puzzle might be too hard.

Are there more Easter eggs and secrets in Silent Hill 2’s remake? We certainly hope so.
