Do i get penalized with how many times i save? Like do i get a bad ending?
The number of saves only affects your rank on the results screen. It doesn’t affect the endings.
It has been a long time since I’ve played SH1. I believe amount you save only affects the star ranking. Endings are dependant on tasks you do in the game. You should be alright if you’re saving a lot.
I don’t believe Silent Hill 1 has endings based on number of saves or anything like that. It’s about items found and actions taken. So I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not a particularly long game if you end up with a bad ending on your first playthrough. I know Silent Hill 2 has endings that are affected by like when you heal and maybe how you fight in the game.
A lot of older games have great manuals detailing everything.
Doesn’t SH1 say this in the manual?
You need to finish without saving to unlock the secret goth gf, tho
