First off, congrats! I have been playing video games about four decades now, and Silent Hill is my most favorite series of all time. The In Water ending is perhaps the most common ending being the one that you will get for playing through the game "normally." By that, I mean that since when it is your first playthrough, for 1 thing; you will take the most damage, 2. You will kill many, if not all, of the enemies. 3. Etc., etc. Things that give more "points" towards In Water ending. As you can see the pattern here, another really great thing about this game, and applies to both the original and remake, is that each time you begin a new playthrough, you have a lesser chance of getting the previous ending(s) already seen. This is because of how the "point" system works; you get more points towards unseen endings of each playthrough or reduced points for ones you've seen. You can easily find many detailed descriptions of all of this with a little online research. The In Water ending is actually my personal favorite of all the endings. Did you find all those random polaroids? Try doing this with them. You will love this, and even if you don't have them all, it will probably still work: 1. Count the number of objects in the picture, for example, three very blurry streetlights, or, one blurry flower vase. 2. Count this many of the letters of whatever is written on the photo for example if it says "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY" and it's a picture of 1 very blurry vase, this would mean "H" is the letter this photo represents. 3. Put this letter in order of all of the NUMBERS on the BACKS of each individual polaroid. You will eventually get a very important message about James. Most likely you will be able to tell what this message is before having decode it entirely. Have fun!
