Silent Hill 3 Cheat Codes

Extra Costumes & passwords (Characters)

Finish the game once to unlock 'Extra Costume' + 'Extra New Game'. Then enter the passcodes at the Extra Costume screen. Case-sensitive, region-specific: PAL codes include 'ShogyouMujou' (Transience shirt). The famous 'PrincessHeart' (Transform shirt) and 'sILenthILL' variants are entered the same way — codes differ by region, so treat this list as the PAL/NTSC mix documented by IGN/GameFAQs.

Enter passcode at the Extra Costume selection (case-sensitive)

Enter the classic Konami code (with Circle/X as A/B) on Extra New Game to award the special extra costume — Heather's homage to Konami tradition. Heather sighs on success.
