Description

Restless Dreams is an updated version of of Silent Hill 2. It contains all of the content of the original version and adds several pieces of new content. The most significant is a new short scenario called Born from a Wish, where players take control of Maria from her first moments right up to where she first appears in the main game. Also included is a sixth ending to the main scenario and a minor feature that allows the player to turn off the graphical effect, which makes the game look like it was shot on cheap film stock.

Trivia

This one will only make sense for those familiar enough with the game:
In the restrooms where the game starts, there are a few advertising posters of the "Heaven's Night" pub.
In these, we can see Maria's face.
