Fans are spreading the word.
The Silent Hill 2 remake released this week, and though it’s working relatively well there is one soft lock glitch that can make it impossible to progress without reloading an earlier save. The glitch takes place near the end of Brookhaven Hospital—but it can be avoided.
As spotted by Eurogamer and by many helpful fans on social media, you’re able to soft lock your game by interacting with a porthole in a door on the third floor of Brookhaven Hospital. Here’s a relatively spoiler-free description of how to avoid soft locking.
After entering the third floor of Bookhaven you’ll have a short cutscene looking through a little window—a porthole—in a door. When you return to the third floor later on you’ll need to be sure you manually save before going through to the rooftop.
