Hy all! I have this problem when I play silent hill 4:
when I get the "eternity" key in the orphanage level I go back and the next area I walk to is pretty normal but with strange fog and rendering. And when that happens I cant get out of that area! I try to go through gate as usually but it gets me back at the beginning of that area! Someone please help me find solution!

You must not try to get back to the Wish House after you get your key; the bearer of that key will wander forever in the forest. Instead, you have a hole behind of the area; go inside and store your key in the box. Go back to the forest and go all the way to the Wish House. There is another hole; go through it to retrieve the key; go back and use it on the nearest locked door.

Thank you so much, I bought the game second hand so I originally thought the disk was too scratched or it had an error or bug.

Thank you for your help.
