The Silent Hill franchise went down in history as one of the best that classic survival horror has to offer, and its current state of dormancy has done little to change that. Even though it's been almost a decade since the last official game in the series was published, fans of Silent Hill continue to enjoy the old games and discuss what a new game would look like. Recently, one player pointed out an interesting Easter egg found in the first Silent Hill game's fog-covered Otherworld.
The monster-infested Otherworld is one of Silent Hill's trademarks. Players are plunged into this alternate version of the abandoned town of Silent Hill throughout the game, where they are forced to run for their lives. However, the presence of grotesque monsters isn't the only difference between the Otherworld and the town's regular layout.
Twitter user BombermanHero shared two screenshots taken in the first Silent Hill game, one in the town's default state and one in the Otherworld. The subject of both images is the same building, a restaurant named after Silent Hill's publisher Konami. There are some noticeable differences in lighting, but the biggest change is that the default restaurant is called "Konami Burger" while the Otherworld's version of the restaurant is called "Konami Berger."
Although it might be tempting to dismiss this change as a simple spelling error, the developers would have had to create two different textures to ensure this would occur. It would have been much easier to just use the same texture twice, which suggests the developers deliberately created this change and hoped people would notice. BombermanHero stated in their post that this may be the most messed up thing about the first Silent Hill game, although the Konami Burger--or Konami Berger--restaurant also appeared in the later game Silent Hill: Origins.
As of writing, it appears that other fans are equally distressed about this Easter egg. One user joked that in Silent Hill's Otherworld, the Mandela Effect is real, meaning that the Berestein Bears would also be found in the Otherworld. A second user stated that this change seems intentional, as though the developers were trying to get players to notice something. A third user replied by stating that it's very important to the lore of Silent Hill that players know the malicious power possessing the town can't spell. A fourth fan sheepishly noted that they assumed the typo was in the word "Konami" rather than the word "Burger."
