It turns out there is a lovely little Silent Hill 1 Easter egg hidden within Silent Hill f that the musically inclined have discovered.
Found within the school in Silent Hill f, posted on a cork board, is some sheet music. It turns out this sheet music is the old SIlent Hill 1 theme. It’s a nice callback in a game that largely stays away from obvious ties to the original series, save for some smaller references here and there.
You can see the Easter egg figured out by streamer Frankielollia, who spotted the sheet music and had one of their viewers play it on guitar, before comparing it directly with the original theme. That classic Silent Hill theme remains one of the most iconic horror game themes of all time, and is well-deserving of a callback.

Silent Hill f is proving exceptionally popular so far, with the game selling at a faster rate than the Silent Hill 2 Remake. The first totally new, non-remake, entry into the series since Silent Hill: Downpour in 2012 (that is, if you don’t count P.T), SIlent Hill f has proven a grand return to form for the long-dormant spooky game series.
In Eurogamer’s Silent Hill f review, writer Vikki Blake wrote: “Silent Hill f’s frustrating first-half is outweighed by a brilliant, delirious second that’s well worth the initial slog.”
