** It took me quite a while to realize that you're not supposed to read it as "Never True" and "Forget Love". This duality between left-to-right then top-to-bottom versus top-to-bottom then left-to-right is probably intentional.

** Pay close attention during the "Love Lost" ending and you'll notice snowflakes falling from the sky. Harry likely died shortly after the video was recorded.

* This game's UFO ending features an amusing cameo from [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 James]], who is there for his couples' therapy. It gets less funny when you consider ''how'' you get this ending. You get it by taking UFO photographs, after which you get text messages from someone who eventually locks their wife in a basement and lets her starve to death. The last one asks you to meet them at the Lighthouse Clinic... where James is. Combined with Dr. Kaufmann mentioning that he hasn't seen James' wife in a while, James' behavior in his original game, and the [[FreezeFrameBonus quick appearance of the Mary boss]], it implies that this version of James ''also'' killed Mary, this time out of paranoia.

fixed a spelling mistake ._


* At first, Dr. K seems really unprofessional for a psychiatrist--why is he drinking on the job and keepping bottles of alcohol in the office where he hosts his therapy sessions? But then TheReveal happens and we realize that all that we've seen so far is Cheryl being an UnreliableNarrator--the closest to how we get the "real" Dr. K is like is at the very end.

* Cybil gave Harry a pistol in the first game. In this one, Harry steals her pistol from her near the end (though he never gets to use it).

* Most of the characters in Shattered Memories resemble their namesakes in the original. They have different personalities, but their roles are the same - Cybil's still a cop, Lisa's still a nurse, and so on. So why does Dahlia look like a piece of jailbait when the original was a creepy old woman? Then you get to the end and realize Dahlia represents Cheryl's mental image of her own mother. So she DOES fulfill a similar role to her original self. The designers did this deliberately to mess with people who have preconceived notions about Shattered Memories based on the original game; one said "We want people to look and say, 'Hey, that's not Dahlia!'"

** She's not a perfect mother, but she didn't seem to notice Cheryl filming them. It's possible she thought Cheryl was in her room, and wouldn't show any violence in front of her daughter on purpose. As for her arguing with Harry, their marriage was falling apart, she eventually had enough of his attitude and lost her temper. We've only seen her in an angry angle in this ending, her insults, belittling and beating might've only been the results of who knows how many fruitless arguments before, where Harry, the "Weak" husband to her "Wicked" wife, never did anything to defend himself or fight back when he needed to.
