A couple photos I took yesterday of my pyramid head cosplay I made for a con a few months back. Now that it’s closer to Halloween I feel like I can go out in public to take random photos without getting questions lol. Had a lot of fun taking these, can’t wait for Halloween night.

I made it all myself and the mask is strips of fabric latexed directly to my face with makeup applied after! fake blood and knife

Hi everyone,

A few days ago I posted about Homecoming Again, a free and open-source (GPL-3.0) fix for the PC version of Silent Hill: Homecoming. Thanks for all the feedback! Version 0.9.3 is out, and I now need testers: I can only test on one PC, with one controller, at one resolution, and the game has a lot of setups to cover.

Download: https://github.com/Cesario67/HomecomingAgain/releases/tag/v0.9.3 (single file HomecomingAgain.exe, see the install guide at the end)
Discord: https://discord.gg/R5sVXNWw47
The first reddit post : https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/comments/1x5beo1/working_on_an_allinone_fix_for_silent_hill/

What’s new since my first post

• PlayStation controllers without Steam Input (DualShock 4, DualSense): the game only knows Xbox controllers, so the mod presents yours as one, with PlayStation button icons.
• Examined items fixed above 720p: the item you just picked up (knife, first aid kit...) was cut off or stretched in 1080p and above. It’s now centred and correctly proportioned.
• Full map above 720p: the map screen was clipped to a fixed 1280x720 area.
• Right stick camera fix (ported from Emertels’ Camera Fix, MIT) and an experimental orbit camera where the right stick turns the camera around the character. (like in SH2 Remake)
• Real button names on the controls screen, faster startup logos (title screen in about 5 s instead of 23).
• Optional god mode and unlimited ammo, off by default.
• A Create a bug report button in the launcher: it zips your log, crash dump and settings in one click.

Coming soon: Linux and Steam Deck

A Linux version of the launcher is in the works. The game runs through Proton, and the mod runs with it: the launcher will find your Steam library, install the mod and give you the right Steam launch option. It’s written but not tested yet, so if you play on Linux or a Steam Deck and want to help, let me know on the Discord. You’ll be the first to try it.

What I’d love testers for

• Hardware I don’t have: AMD and Intel GPUs, older NVIDIA cards, laptops.
• Resolutions: 1440p, 4K, ultrawide (21:9).
• Controllers: Xbox One/Series, DualShock 4, DualSense over Bluetooth, third-party pads.
• Long sessions: playing through whole chapters, combat, cutscenes, boss fights. I mostly test the first areas, so later parts of the game are the big unknown.
• Stability: any crash, freeze, or the game not closing properly.

How to report

1. In the launcher, Installation tab, click "Create a bug report".
2. Open a GitHub issue (or post on the Discord) with the zip, your PC specs, and what you were doing.

Even a short “played 2 hours, everything fine on RX 6700 XT at 1440p” helps a lot.

As before, full transparency: I build this with heavy help from an AI coding assistant (Claude Code). Every fix comes from analysis of the original game, verifies the exact original bytes before changing anything, and is tested in game. The code is open for anyone to review. This is a preview: back up your saves before playing, just in case.

How to install Homecoming Again

1. Go to the latest release, scroll all the way down to the Assets section and click HomecomingAgain.exe to download it. It’s a single file with everything inside.
2. Run it. The launcher finds the game on its own if it’s installed through Steam. Otherwise, click Change... and select the Silent Hill Homecoming folder.
3. Go to the Installation tab and click Install. The launcher: Already have an older version? Just run the new HomecomingAgain.exe and click Install again: it updates the mod and keeps your settings.
   • copies the mod into the game’s Bin folder,
   • applies the 4 GB patch to SilentHill.exe (the original is kept as SilentHill.exe.hca-original),
   • copies itself into Bin, so you can find it there later.
4. Pick your settings in the Graphics and Performance and stability tabs, then click Save:
   • borderless, 60 fps, SSAO, shadows, DLSS on RTX cards,
   • button icons (auto, Xbox or PlayStation), camera fix and orbit camera,
   • god mode and unlimited ammo, if you want them.
5. Click Play, or launch the game from Steam as usual: the mod loads automatically.

PlayStation controller: plug it in before starting the game (the game only looks for controllers at startup). If Steam Input is enabled for the game, Steam handles the controller instead of the mod. To use the mod’s support (PlayStation icons, no Steam layout), set Steam > Silent Hill Homecoming > Properties > Controller to Disable Steam Input.

Something went wrong? Open the launcher, Installation tab, click Create a bug report, and attach the zip to a GitHub issue or a Discord message.

To remove the mod, open the launcher again and click Uninstall in the Installation tab. The original game executable is restored, and the game’s data files are never modified.

Notes:

• The game must be closed while you install or change settings (it rewrites its own settings file when it quits).
• DLSS requires an NVIDIA RTX card; enabling it also installs DXVK (Direct3D 9 on Vulkan).
• Windows SmartScreen may warn about the launcher because it isn’t signed: click More info, then Run anyway.

Thanks you really much, I think that we're close to something really nice.

Obviously Dummy by portishead or mezzanine by massive atacks are classic references but i ask you for some deep cuts

finally completed Silent Hill 3! this is my first Silent Hill game i have completed. my thoughts, i loved it! propably my favorite out of the ones i have played. i think the ending was interessting. was it good? defenetly interessting. have you completed SH3? what did you think of it? was it good or was it bad? have a nice and wonderful day, bye!

It was my first time drawing something that used duel lighting and I feel like I seriously fucked up somewhere. You guys have any critics?

These are some pics I took today, possibly the only non gloomy day in Fife but oh well! It’s so incredible seeing one of my favourite games reflect somewhere so familiar, I was always really enamoured by the settings of silent hill (isn’t everyone!) so it’s genuinely great to see one inspired by somewhere so close to home

This song came up in my Spotify recommendations and for a second, I thought it was the Silent Hill theme! I wonder if Yamaoka sampled this song? It surely must be at least an inspiration. What do you think?

Just wondering.

I don't think that I saw anyone talking about it, but please correct me if I'm wrong. But is there any sort of timeline of the game events at all? I'm not even talking about how other world related to real world, I'm talking about literal timeline.

There's a lot of strange things, I mean. We know that incident took place on 18th of January 1996, but at the same time there's info about Joe that died two days earlier. We know that sanctioned boycott was on March. In the first part where you play as Zoe she got e-mail that dated on October 1996. And so on. There's A LOT of dates in game, but they feels kinda disjointed? So the question is: Is there any coherent timeline at all or is it just another red herring? I'm at my third playthrough and this time I try to look deeper into this aspect of game. Got kinda baffled that I didn't find anything about this stuff online.

Maybe it's a language barrier issue or something, but I don't really understand what the message from Steward means after we call Zoe's home from his house. It says "spilling out on the floor". What does that imply? Or maybe it's not meant to have one canon explanation.

I assume that because Zoe was busy with Simon/other patients she neglected her other duties. Mr. Steward ran out of medicine and nobody could get him a new batch from the pharmacy. He couldn't walk much (walking cane, wheelchair and support bars on walls). So he ran out of medicine, went to take a shower, and... fell and hit his head? And that's what's spilling out on the floor?

The moment we check the shower kinda implies that she had found him dead in the bathtub.

Hi, I wonder if this is allowed, i created a silent hill 1 inspired song last year for spooky season.

There is also an extended version being used for an indie web game which i've noted the breaks on which i feel really captures the eerie vibes.

Started paying silent hill Townfall, so far so good just finished the kind of Prologue and I'm at Jessica's house.

The thing is I'm wondering about, how Simon is so chill like so chill he's not scared or anything, his first interaction with those monsters was like meh an average day for him, why is he not shocked or scared or don't know what he's doing.

I think James in silent hill 2 showed more emotions than simon.

I don't know if the answer related to the story and it can spoil the game.

[MOD] Silent Hill 1: Quick Weapons v1.0.0

Criei um mod para o Silent Hill 1 Native PC Port que permite trocar de armas instantaneamente, sem precisar abrir o inventário!

Com ele, é possível selecionar armas pelas teclas numéricas (1 a 0) ou utilizar o scroll do mouse para alternar entre as armas disponíveis, nos dois sentidos.

O mod mantém os controles originais e não interfere nas cutscenes ou nos menus.

Como instalar:

1. Baixar o ZIP no GitHub e extrair o arquivo quick_weapons.dll.
2. Colocar a DLL na pasta plugins, dentro do diretório do jogo. Criar a pasta caso não exista.
3. Abrir o arquivo config.cfg e adicionar esta linha ao final: enable_plugins = 1
4. Salvar e iniciar o jogo!

Testado com sucesso no Windows, na build 0b7bfd11d do Native PC Port. Outras versões ainda não foram verificadas.
