10 Video Game Secrets YOU DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW
6. Most Of The Dead Bodies Are James' Character Model - Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 2 is one of the greatest video games of all time, a haunting survival horror masterpiece and one of the most psychologically fascinating games ever made.
Throughout the game, players will come across a number of dead bodies, most of which are mutilated in some fashion, disguising their more distinctive features.
But because Silent Hill 2 isn't already disturbing enough, players who look closely - or better yet, take a deep dive into the game's files - will learn the horrifying truth, that the majority of the corpses are modified from protagonist James Sunderland's own character model.
The game makes it clear that Silent Hill and its monsters are a metaphor for James' own guilt over killing his terminally ill wife Mary, and given that one of the game's endings sees James committing suicide, it's telling that the game is literally strewn with variations of the man's corpse over and over again.
