Did you enjoy the ride, Murphy?
—The Monocle Man taunting Murphy

Monocle Man[1] is a monster seen in Silent Hill: Downpour. It verbally torments Murphy Pendleton during their brief and only encounter at the climax of the cavern train ride in Devil's Pit.

Appearance and symbolism[]

This monster resembles a draped face stretched tightly outward with hooks, chains, and even train tracks, with pale skin and a searchlight worn as a monocle on its left eye. Monocle Man possesses the ability to talk, asking Murphy if he enjoyed his ride through the caverns.

According to Senior Producer Tomm Hulett, Monocle Man represents John P. Sater, or a form thereof.[2]

Trivia[]

MonocleFight

The scrapped boss battle.

  • In an early Downpour trailer that Konami never intended to be released, the Monocle Man is seen attacking Murphy on a large arena, suggesting it was originally meant to be a boss monster. [3] On September 3, 2024, Downpour source code was uploaded to Internet Archive.[4] On September 10, 2024, files detailing a boss fight against the creature were found, confirming previous rumors. The fight featured attacks with tongues and tentacles, wagons, flock of bats, beams and weak spots.[5][6][7] On October 26, 2024, user dk Oswald restored the cut fight against Monocle Man, uploading a gameplay to their YouTube channel.[8]
  • The Monocle Man's monocle is reminiscent of the spot-lights used at the end of the game to defeat and distract various monsters, including the penultimate boss.
  • Monocle Man has a voice and accent that are very similar to that of John Sater, though Monocle Man's voice seems layered to sound more demonic. On the ride, the player can actually hear the tour guide's recorded voice sound more and more like Monocle Man's the closer the train gets to him.
  • The population of Weeping Bats increases considerably near Monocle Man.
