These are the Secrets and Unlockables in Silent Hill: Homecoming.

Secrets



 * Examining a missing photo in Shepherd House will result in a reference to a famous message in Neely's Bar.

They appear to include A Book Title, An Interesting Book Title, The Collective, Harry Got His Gun (a reference to Johnny Got His Gun), Life is a Bore, Rocket Science for Dummies, and Anal Sex for Dummies.

Bonus scene


This extra scene can be obtained after the "Good" ending in one of two ways: the player can either beat the game on Hard, or collect every photograph in a single playthrough. If these tasks are met, then after the credits roll, Alex will, from a first-person perspective, climb the stairs leading to his room in the Shepherd house. Joshua will be sitting on the bed, holding a camera. He laughs and takes a picture of his brother.

Costumes
With each new ending obtained, one of five costumes will be unlocked, depending on the ending achieved. There are, however, six costumes in all; a special costume can be obtained by inputting the Konami Code, a cheat code that appears in games developed and/or published by Konami.


 * Big Rig Alex: Clothing similar to that worn by Travis Grady. This costume can be unlocked once one beats the game with the "Good" ending.
 * Order Soldier Alex: The same mining uniform that Alex dons at the end of Church of the Holy Way. This costume can be unlocked after the game is beaten with the "Drowning" ending.
 * Bogeyman Alex: This costume can be unlocked after the "Bogeyman" ending takes place.
 * ER Alex: This costume is unlockable after the "Hospital" ending transpires.
