Family Vacation

Family Vacation is a series of echo messages that Harry Mason can receive in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. They may vary according to the player's Psych Profile. They can be found at a vacation cabin in Silent Hill's outskirts, deep within the Caldecotte Woods, halfway into a Nightmare sequence.

Listening to the message carefully will help the player on how to solve the Toy Piano Puzzle and thus progress further into the game.

Variation 1:
Little girl: Mom! Woman: Not now! I'm on the phone! Little girl: Mommy! (Quack!) (Hoot!) (Squawk!) (Squawk!) (Cluck!) Woman: Shh! Go show your Daddy. This whole trip was a bad idea. It's making me crazy. Nothing but trees, logs and my family. I'm trapped. Feel like I'm suffocating in here, Diane. Little girl: [music plays] I won! Mom, I won! Woman: Shut up! Or I'll smash that stupid thing! Give me a minute, Diane.
 * Woman: I'm on the phone, dammit! Yeah, I'm taking us back early. This is not my idea of fun.

Variation 2:
Little girl: Mom! Woman: Not now, honey, Mommy's on the phone. Get out of bed, play with your daughter! Little girl: Mommy! (Quack!) (Hoot!) (Squawk!) (Squawk!) (Cluck!) Woman: Shush. Go show Daddy. This whole trip was a bad idea. A week picnicking and cycling... like, that's going to make it right? I'm still hurting, this feels fake. I don't want to be with him. Little girl: [music plays] I won! Mom, I won! Woman: Alright! In a minute! Give me a second, Diane.
 * Woman: I'm on the phone! Yeah, I'm coming back early. This was a stupid idea.

Variation 3:
Little girl: Mom! Woman: Not now, honey, Mommy's on the phone. Put your damn drink down and look after her! Little girl: Mommy! (Quack!) (Hoot!) (Squawk!) (Squawk!) (Cluck!) Woman: Shush. Go show Daddy. This whole trip was a bad idea. He's not better here. Worse if anything. I can't put up with it anymore. Little girl: [music plays] I won! Mom, I won! Woman: Alright! In a minute! Give me a second, Diane.
 * Woman: I'm on the phone! Yeah, I'm coming back early. This isn't working out.

Variation 4:
Little girl: Mom! Woman: Not now, honey, Mommy's on the phone. Can't you look after her? Little girl: Mommy! (Quack!) (Hoot!) (Squawk!) (Squawk!) (Cluck!) Woman: Shush. Go show Daddy. This whole trip was a bad idea. I knew that before we even came, but I went along. The last thing we needed was time alone together. Little girl: [music plays] I won! Mom, I won! Woman: Alright! In a minute! Diane, hold on for a second.
 * Woman: I'm on the phone! Yeah, we're coming back early. This isn't working out.

Part 2
After successfully solving the Toy Piano Puzzle, Harry will receive these messages.

Little girl: [sound of glass breaking] Mom, look. Woman: What now? You've broken a glass. Is that blood...? Little girl: Mommy...! Woman: Oh, Jesus.
 * Woman: Sure. Sorry about that, Diane.

Variation 2:
Little girl: [sound of glass breaking] Hey... Mom... Woman: Be careful. Where's your dad? Little girl: Mommy...! Woman: Oh, Jesus... You're bleeding?
 * Woman: It's good to talk, Diane. I feel pretty alone out here.

Variation 3:
Little girl: [sound of glass breaking] Mom, look. Woman: Was that your glass? What was she doing...? Little girl: Mommy...! Woman: Oh, my God, is that blood?
 * Woman: I know, that's the problem, Diane.

Variation 4:
Little girl: [sound of glass breaking] Mommy! Woman: What was that? Little girl: Daddy! Woman: Honey, what have you done...? Little girl: Mommy! Woman: Oh, God, she's bleeding!
