Silent Hill 2 remake's lead actor drops cryptic Easter egg hints and says that finding all the hidden goodies will take you'more than 20 hours'.

Fans of Silent Hill 2 were initially apprehensive, including myself, about Blooper Team’s upcoming remake. After a wave positive previews, players now want to see what the fuss is all about and hopefully find a few of the easter egg that are supposedly lying in wait.

Mateusz Lenart, the creative director and lead designer of the game, hinted in a tweet that it will take 16-18 hours to complete. He also mentioned some easter eggs that will be harder to find.

Lenart says that if you spend 20 hours searching for all the things we have hidden in the game, and everything we have put into it, you will definitely be able to find them. "I don't count the new game and all the endings, but I will." I'm curious to see how quickly you will be able to get them all.

But that's just the beginning. Lenart's tweet ended with a string emojis, including an alien, a dog, a sign, dripping water, lighted candle, and lily. Some players have tried to decipher what this means, but no one has yet figured it out. Before you try it, it's important to note that these are probably just emojis. Lenart responded to a player: "No spoilers... Not even through emojis ;),"

Even if we don't know what Silent Hill 2 has in store for us, it's exciting to imagine all the possibilities. Lenart, in a reply to another fan, also reflects on his favourite part of remake: "If I had to choose, the general flow of game and the new level design/puzzles is my favorite." I think we've managed to strike a balance between the memories of the original locations, and the new content that can surprise even long-time Silent Hill 2 fans."

It's a little comforting to hear that the memory of original game was kept intact. I'm not a big fan of the previous Bloober Team titles: I found Layers of Fear to be particularly difficult to endure. Silent Hill 2 is my hope to break the mold, if only a little.
