The game opens with our hero, Alex, strapped to a gurney being wheeled through a nightmarish hospital.

After the brief opening scene, you'll need to break free of your restraints by tapping the corresponding button that appears onscreen. Be ready for these button sensitive events throughout the game. Once free from the gurney, access your inventory by pressing the or button. This activates your Weapons Inventory but as you'll notice, you don't have a weapon at this time. Yo u do however have a Flashlight and Radio. These can be toggled on and off by pre ssing the respected buttons that appear next them. Be sure to have them both on. Feel free to look around this room. You'll find a memo from a doctor. Silent Hil l: Homecoming is littered with things to read and investigate. There's no specia l achievement tied to you reading them all. They are simply there to provide clu es, back story and generally creep you out. It's a good idea to keep an eye out for them as they do enrich the experience of the game. When you are ready to really begin, head through the double doors into the next room and then through the door on the right to enter a hallway. Approach the met al bars for a brief scene with a preoccupied boy on the other side. The cell bar s are locked but there is a key pad to the right. Unfortunately, you don't know the code. Go through the door just to the right of the metal bars to enter the N urse Center. On the right you'll be able to examine an X-Ray. It has been torn in half and ha s 3 digits scratched on it. Leave it be for now. Grab the Hospital Map from the bulletin board and leave the Nurse Center to the south. Head down the creepy hal lway and enter the third door on the left, room 203. Grab the Health Drink on th e counter to the left then walk up to the broken glass window and Hop Over into the next room. Pick up the X-Ray Film from this room then hop back through the b roken window and head back to the Nurse Center. Walk up to the X-Ray you previou sly saw. Press the or button to enter the Inventory Menu and select the film y ou just picked up. You'll then combine the two X-Rays on the lightbox and see th e full code, 624872. Leave the Nurse Center through the original door and enter this code into the keypad next to the metal bars. Go though the unlocked gate an d speak with the kid who'll run off down the hallway
