Disrespect your surroundings

It’s important to come to Silent Hill well-prepared and well-hydrated as you stroll through its streets and roads. You, as an eagle-eyed traveler—one whose head might actually turn and face important items in the environment, I should add—might see a local supermarket or fast food joint, but, oh no, they’re not open! Instead of friendly fast food workers serving meals with a smile, you get leggy mannequin monsters serving pain, and hopefully that’s just a vertical smile where the face should be. Thankfully, the good citizens of Silent Hill are more than happy to assist fellow travelers by leaving a goodly supply of nutritional drinks and ammunition in their cars. You may need to bust out the windows to get to your supplies, but, hey, the price is right.

That doesn’t just apply to cars, though. Don’t get too precious about storefront windows and doors, either. If it’s just a pane of glass between you and some of Silent Hill’s delicious nibbles, feel free to assume the owner won’t mind if you come on in.
