10 Hidden Video Game Characters You Weren’t Supposed To See
1. James Sunderland - Silent Hill 3
The fact that this is far and away the creepiest entry on this list is appropriate considering Silent Hill’s penchant for making gamers terrified and uncomfortable. Silent Hill 3 did this expertly from the off. The title introduces players to new hero Heather Mason, the daughter of the first game’s protagonist. After experiencing some visions, she races home and both Heather and the player are aghast to discover Harry’s dead body in an armchair at their home.
Ah, but is it Harry…? Well, for storyline purposes yes, it is. But considering we never get a good look at the body it’s not surprising that some diehard fans broke the camera out of position for a better look. After all, we want to see what Harry looks like in PS2 graphics, rather than his original PS1 appearance!
Except getting that closer look reveals that Team Silent didn’t make a new Harry model and instead just used Silent Hill 2 protagonist James Sunderland instead. What makes it creepier is that, for whatever reason, they also scalped him in the process too. His grey face and blank expression aren’t exactly pretty.
James Sunderland also appears in the game’s super secret UFO ending, but most people don’t know that he was lurking in Harry’s chair all this time.
