Echo Messages/ Photos
Through out the game Harry will come across “echoes” of past events that flesh out the back story of Silent Hill. These echos are triggered in two ways:
Camera Photo: Keep you eyes peeled for ghostly and staticy figures barely visible in the darkness. Walk up to the distortion and take a picture with the camera phone. Once you’ve successfully revealed an “Echo Photo” Harry will receive a text or voice mail from the past.
Following the Static: Harry’s phone starts to crackle and his flashlight will flicker and the wii-mote will slightly shake. Direct Harry towards the object in the room that’s causing the disturbance. As you approach the static from the phone will get louder, the flashlight will flicker faster and the wii-mote will rumble. Once you reach the echo object the screen will go white and the noise and flickering will disappear and Harry will receive the message from the past in either a text message or voice mail.
What’s most interesting about these echo messages is that many of them change with time you play. Some have up to 6 variations!
