The First Puzzle: The Basics

How ironic that the first puzzle in Silent Hill f is a simple game of how good you are at recognizing key details in the clues given to you, and connecting them to the appropriate placement. This will be a constant aspect of most of the game’s puzzles going forward, so you’d best put your thinking cap on.
The key to solving this puzzle is simple in theory: place the corresponding item in its correct place, but in typical Silent Hill fashion, this can be a bit confusing. Yet like everything else in this game, the devil is in the minute details.

The Solution: Whole Lotta Dead Things
Each of the five items you have in front of you, from the deceased animals to the inanimate objects (mouse, vase, bird, fish, and paper fan), has an insignia located on it that matches each of the five pedestals. Simply place them in their corresponding place, and you’re done! A cutscene will play, and you’ll be able to continue your journey.
