History Headscratchers / SilentHillHomecoming

** They are supposed to make the sacrifices around once every 50 years, maybe reason why they waited so long is that is that they had to wait at least 50 years after the last sacrifice and Alex happened to be in eighteen when his time is supposed to be up.

* What's the deal with the Smile post credits bonus scene? To get it, you have to get the good ending and collect all the photos (or beat the game on Hard mode) and the fact that you get this bonus scene as reward is confusing as hell. First off, when is it taking place? Its weird to take place after the game since Alex and Elle are seen leaving the town at the end, unless Alex decided to take a detour to his house for whatever reason. And even if you buy that, why is Josh's ghost still here? If you get the good ending you lay his spirit to rest right? Josh was around in the first place to get Alex to admit to what he had done so why is the ghost still here? What the hell are we suppose to think of this scene? It's too off putting and creepy to be funny and it doesn't answer any lingering questions or bring any sort of coherent new information to the table (like the UFO endings are random but they're clearly joke endings). It's not a jump scare since nothing jumps at you so it's not a last minute gotcha thing. So, why is it here? To confuse the audience? Is that why? The fact that you have to do extra effort to get this bizarre scene tells me that the developers either had this scene planned for a different part of the game but they changed something and didn't know what to do with it so they just threw it in here. Or its here as a fuck you from the developers, you put all that effort for this nothing scene congratulations. I keep thinking about this scene whenever I think of this game and I can't figure it out. Why is it here? What's the point? What is it?!
