A prototype of Silent Hill 2 that starts you off at the beginning of the game and ends right before the boss encounter of Pyramid Head in the apartment stairway. Various differences are found in this prototype, some of which are covered in the "Notes" category of this entry. Exploring the file contents of this disc reveals most, if not all, of the game's data is included in this disc. Meaning, with some modding/hacking, you're likely able to explore beyond the artificial boundary set by this prototype to explore many other early areas of the game.
