Anti-Climax: Harry finally reaches the lighthouse, has a final conversation with Cybil, and enters the building, with you thinking you've entered the final climactic dungeon.The All-Concealing 'I': The first-person viewed therapy sessions are Cheryl's point of view, not Harry's.Alternate Continuity: To the first game, though it could be a sequel to the Bad End's Dying Dream.In The Stinger, you even see the childhood mementos (if you picked up any) that various characters and locations came from. All Just a Dream: The entire game was just Cheryl's fragmenting fantasy of her dad surviving the car crash that, in reality, killed him years ago.The enemies are dealt with by running, hiding, or temporarily warding them off with flares, and the closest thing to combat you see in the game is Harry defensively shoving them away. Harry never makes any effort to fight the Raw Shocks, though in his case it's because he was explicitly told that he has no way to kill them, as opposed to being a moral thing. Actionized Sequel: Inverted, as there is no combat whatsoever, far less action, and more focus on story and atmosphere than either of the previous two games.

Abandoned Hospital: The staple location in the series is back again, complete with spooky atmosphere and jump scares.Silent Hill: Shattered Memories contains examples of the following tropes: While the game did get ported to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, it still remains one of the two Silent Hill games to see a release on a Nintendo console - the other being Play Novel: Silent Hill, a Japan-exclusive Visual Novel adaptation of the first game for the Game Boy Advance. One notable aspect about Shattered Memories is the console it was developed for rather than being developed with a PlayStation platform in mind like with the preceding games in the series, Shattered Memories was specifically developed for the Wii in order to take advantage of its motion controls. The success of this new setup can vary, but numerous reviewers welcomed this 'refreshing change' in the genre (as opposed to the jump-scares utilized in Doom³ or the 'fire into hordes of zombies and hope you survive' direction Resident Evil had taken at the time). As part of a new emphasis on 'psychological' horror over 'survival' horror, the combat system was removed, leaving a player with three options upon encountering a monster: run, find a flare (which wards off the monsters for a short time), or hide.
