Attachment When you beat the game, you can enter a code to unlock a special costume for the New Game+. The code "PrincessHeart" has Heather wearing a superhero outfit. In the PS3 or Xbox360 version, there is an achievement/trophy for wearing the outfit called "Where's Luna?", which is a reference to Sailor Moon.

A cutscene can be unlocked if the memory card in use has a Silent Hill 2 save file. Heather contemplates reaching into a toilet, but can't bring herself to do it. She looks at the camera and asks, "Who would even think of doing something so disgusting?" This is a reference to a scene in Silent Hill 2, in which James Sunderland reaches into a toilet to retrieve a wallet.
