Silent Hill: Downpour

Murphy Pendleton must explore the building to meet with Bobby Ricks. Floors 1 through 3 are home to a library. The only other accessible floor is 18; this is where Ricks hosts the radio station, WLMN FM. According to a simplified map of the building, floor 4 is an academy, floor 8 features a restaurant and floor 12 is a town museum. The labels for all other floors are scratched out. After Murphy, Ricks and Anne Cunningham are attacked by Screamers on the top floor, Murphy attempts to escape. After finding some diluent he lights a pile of rags on fire with the lighter which causes a transition to the Otherworld where the Void appears and chases Murphy. After the chase, Murphy descends in an elevator ending in a suspended cage. The cage will move around through a prison-like setting, after which it crashes and Murphy must once again run from the Void. The chase ends quickly, and Murphy must find a way forward amidst falling cages (sometimes containing Screamers), huge swinging blades and rapidly turning clock hands. At the end of the Otherworld sequence, Murphy encounters a man in a wheelchair beyond a small staircase, but when he tries to approach him the staircase turns into a ramp causing Murphy to slide down, somehow ending up hanging from the hands of the giant clock at the top of the clock tower. He hangs on for dear life, but loses grip of the hand as it ticks once. Seeming to fall to his death, he instead awakens on a park bench in front of the clock tower unscathed but startled.

Trivia

• Several paintings in the building depict images from other games or from later parts of Downpour:
  • The "Welcome to Shepherd's Glen" sign and the Shepherd House from Silent Hill: Homecoming.
  • The Incubus from the original Silent Hill. This painting is captioned "The Demon Samael".
  • The Otherworld form of the Centennial Building's clock tower, with glowing hands and visible gears.
• To the right of the projector, where you need to put the slide in, there is a film reel labeled "Vatra Wood".
