Silent Hill f: 10 Easter Eggs You Missed

by

The Silent Hill series is known for hiding secrets, and Silent Hill f is no different. Though this game has fewer hidden references than others, they can still be found if you know where to search.

These hidden details, or Easter Eggs, are often small and easy to overlook, but they really enrich the overall gaming experience. Even the more noticeable ones enhance the game, sometimes simply by making it a little less scary for players.

No matter how you find them, discovering these little treasures is always rewarding and makes replaying the game worthwhile. Honestly, I still get excited whenever I come across them – they really leave a lasting impression.

If you missed these Easter Eggs, try to see if you can catch them on any repeat playthroughs.

This article will contain some spoilers for Silent Hill f and its story.

10. Robbie the Rabbit Costume

Foxes Hunt Rabbits, After All

Okay, so one of the coolest Easter eggs I found was this Robbie the Rabbit costume for Hinako. You can actually wear it during gameplay, and it gets dirty and worn just like all her other outfits. The funny thing is, no matter how much action you see, the bunny ears *always* stay perfect! It’s a nice little detail.

This is a nod to Robbie the Rabbit, a memorable character from Silent Hill 3 (and also seen in Silent Hill 4) who’s become something of a symbol for the series. Luckily, he’s on our side this time, and is actually helping to manage the chaos.

It’s really funny watching Hinako’s ears flop around when she’s constantly getting scared. It’s a surprisingly effective way to cope with the game’s fear factor – you can’t really be frightened if you’re laughing!

Let’s be real, you’ll be terrified while you’re giggling.

9. The White Claudia

How It All Comes Together

When players start Silent Hill f, the biggest question on everyone’s mind is usually the same: how does this game fit into the established storyline of the Silent Hill series?

The solution is surprisingly simple and clever: the White Claudia flower. You can find it growing in a special spot at Shu’s house. The game reveals that Shu’s family, the Iwai family, grows these flowers specifically to create medicine that helps Hinako with her headaches.

These medications can cause hallucinations, which explains the game’s standard ending, ‘Coming Home to the Roost.’ In a drug-fueled state, Hinako believes the world is ending and violently kills everyone at her wedding while experiencing these hallucinations.

It serves as both a fun hidden reference and a clear explanation, and I think it’s a clever way to link the games together without undermining any of their individual narratives.

8. Who Did That?

Why Does it Look Familiar?

As you head to Rinko’s place, you’ll pass through a lot of Ebisugaoka you can check out. While you’re exploring, you’ll come across a house with a huge, clean cut across its side. It looks like it was made by a sword, not claws, which means it wasn’t the Shiromuku or any of the other creatures that might have caused it.

In fact, this is identical to the ones Pyramid Head leaves in Silent Hill 2.

It’s definitely not the same Pyramid Head from the original game, considering his story is tied to James Sunderland. However, the new monster looks remarkably similar. It’s probably just another creature that caused this damage, but it’s fun to feel that familiar fear, even in a different game.

For all we know, these fools stole his sword.

7. Hinako and Alessa are Parallels

A Girl of Divine Power

As a huge fan, I was really blown away by how the different endings added so much to the story, especially when it comes to understanding Hinako and just *how* important she is. The true ending, ‘Ebisugaoka in Silence,’ was a real revelation! It turns out that every so often, a girl is born with incredible spiritual power. And when that happens, a spell is cast on the head of the Tsuneki family, forcing them to find her and marry her. It really puts everything into perspective!

The Shimizu family has a mysterious history that’s never fully explained in the game. Whatever happened in their past resulted in Hinako being born with special, god-like powers, which unfortunately made her a target for others.

Like Cheryl Mason, Alessa Gillespie from the original Silent Hill also possesses incredible, almost god-like power. But instead of being destined to marry a god, her suffering comes from being forced to *give birth* to one.

Keeping this idea in mind as you play the game, you’ll notice many more clues and hints suggesting Hinako is far more remarkable than she realizes.

6. The Tsuneki Clan and The Order

Thanks to a Missionary

You’ll find documents scattered throughout the game, but they won’t be in order. That’s why it’s a good idea to read them all carefully, starting from the beginning, once you’ve found everything.

Records indicate the White Claudia was brought to Ebisugaoka by a Christian missionary, while other records detail the history of the Tsuneki clan.

Okay, so the game doesn’t *say* it directly, but I’m pretty sure The Order and the Tsuneki clan are connected. The way they both use the White Claudia, and the fact that the Tsuneki sacrifices people to their gods… it all feels way too similar to ignore. It’s definitely implied, even if it’s not spelled out for us.

As a fan, I’ve always been fascinated by The Order. They’re masters of manipulation – tricking people and using any clever tactic to achieve their goals, which really reminds me of the kitsune legends from Japanese folklore. It’s pretty unsettling, but they basically lure people in, then sacrifice them for whatever dark ritual they’re focused on at the moment. And it looks like the Tsuneki clan is continuing that same disturbing tradition.

The records show a Christian missionary arrived, but that story might be a cover-up. The Order is known for disguising its presence, and it’s possible this missionary was part of that. Whether the Tsuneki family existed beforehand or not, it’s obvious The Order has had some impact on them – a dark influence, it seems.

5. Mira Strikes Again!

Up to No Good

The “Dog Ending” of Silent Hill 2 famously revealed that Mira, the dog, was the one responsible for everything happening in the game – and possibly the entire Silent Hill story. Since then, she’s become a running gag, showing up in almost every humorous or non-canon ending the series has offered.

In Silent Hill f, it seems that she’s working with the aliens.

The UFO ending, called “The Great Space Invasion!”, offers a funny surprise: we see Mira inside a flying saucer! It cleverly combines two of the series’ running gags and is sure to make players laugh.

We hope players new to the series will also check out the earlier games. This will give them a better understanding of the character Mira and her origins in the original Silent Hill setting.

4. Is That a Save Point?

The Iconic Red Square

The game includes a clear nod to Silent Hill 2: a completely red document found within the Field Puzzle. This document stands out dramatically – it’s the only colored one in the entire game, making it visually striking against the surrounding straw.

It works just like the save points in the original Silent Hill 2. If you’re not familiar with that game – and you really should play it – the save points weren’t the traditional, shrine-like structures seen in later Silent Hill games. They were just simple, glowing red squares.

Players new to the Silent Hill 2 Remake might initially mistake certain objects for save points – I know I did! These aren’t for saving, though; they’re actually notes offering clues to solve a puzzle in the game’s fields. What makes this note stand out is that it’s the only red one you’ll find.

3. This Music Means Something

You Can Almost Hear It

I don’t know how to read music, so I missed this detail when I first played the game. However, a Reddit user named u/ByYourLeaveUK noticed that the sheet music shown in Ebisugaoka Middle School is actually the theme song from Silent Hill.

Just to make sure, I sent this to my brother, who is a music education major, and he confirmed it.

This hidden detail is a fun surprise, and it might hint that the Silent Hill remake is progressing well, which is great news for longtime fans like me. However, we don’t know if the teams at Konami coordinate these things, so it could simply be a playful addition.

Either way, that’s really stinking cool.

2. The Room Remains Iconic

The Eye Even Follows You

Okay, so even if you haven’t played Silent Hill 4, you’ve probably *seen* that room with Eileen’s giant head. It’s seriously stuck in a lot of horror fans’ minds, and honestly, most gamers know about it too. It’s super unsettling – her breathing is creepy, and her eyes just *follow* you. It’s become a bit of a running joke in the fandom, but it’s still genuinely freaky!

The Shimizu Residence in Silent Hill f features a room much like one found elsewhere in the game. However, instead of a human head, this room contains a broken baton.

So, I found out Hinako used to be a track and field runner in middle school, you know, the kind with the relay races and passing the baton. It’s kinda creepy, but even though those batons are just wood, Hinako’s imagination ran wild and she started seeing eyes on them, like they were watching her. It’s seriously messed up!

It makes absolutely no sound – no breathing, nothing. It just silently stares, and honestly, that’s even more unsettling than the atmosphere in Silent Hill 4.

1. Mayoi Uta Has Origins

Horrific Foreshadowing

As a huge fan, I think Akira Yamaoka is a total musical genius, particularly for his work on Silent Hill. What really gets me is how he can create music – whether it’s purely instrumental or includes vocals – that just *gets* under your skin. He perfectly blends gorgeous melodies with genuinely terrifying sounds, and it’s just incredible to experience.

Okay, so the game starts with this awesome cutscene, and this song, “Mayoi Uta” (which means “Lost Song”), is playing. The lyrics actually mean something pretty deep – you can read the translation in the credits after you finish playing. But it’s more than just a cool song with a message, it’s actually a nod to something else, a little Easter egg for those who get it!

“Hanayome Ningyou” (The Bride Doll) is a traditional Japanese song from before the Showa Era. It shares a melody with another song called “Mayoi Uta” and tells the story of a bride who is sad on her wedding day. The lyrics gently scold her for crying, warning that her tears will stain her wedding kimono.

The similarities to Hinako’s story are striking, especially given the game’s focus on the anxieties surrounding marriage and the sacrifices she makes to fulfill the role of the ideal bride. The music perfectly enhances these themes – it’s a really clever touch.

Just saying, if Akira Yamaoka has no hardcore fans, that means I’m dead.
