PRE-BUILD INVENTORY · OCTOBER 7, 2026

The dates.
The evidence.

Silent Hill: research table, product / access matches and inspection gaps.

VERIFICATION STATUS

Broad coverage.
Open questions.

49 catalogue records; 49 indexed works. Shared branch points, embedded scenes and anthology containers are distinguished.

A research edition, not a completed full-interior audit. A missing date remains an inspection gap until the actual work has been checked.

Inventory / contradiction checks

Calendar conflicts for SH2 and SH4 are explicit; seven-year and seventeen-year Mason intervals are preserved.
All listed IDW series / one-shots, Owaku/Ito manga, game / film Japanese novels and Return novel inventoried.
f’s 1960s setting is primary-source verified; game, novel and ongoing manga share a position with adaptation status.
2026 Townfall and The Dock House included; official promo art distinguished from actual full comic pages.
Past Life precedes the relative modern-story anchors; SH4’s disputed calendar is estimated with the conflicting guide / dialogue evidence noted. Film links point to the actual corresponding film.
Pre-build table reviewed for duplicate titles, continuity conflicts, unsupported release-year dates and product / collection mismatches. Open coverage and inaccessible interiors remain listed.
f and Townfall join the main chronology; Townfall corrected to official 1996. First-game / SH2 / SH3 / SH4 estimates interleaved with guide and creator contradictions disclosed. Undated comics remain visible in the main lane.

Verification still required

Full comic / manga interiors, now-inaccessible mobile routes and original DVD contents remain open; missing dates are not declared absent.
Ascension episode-level / time-jump inventory and f manga chapter cut-off need a full narrative audit.
Exact Amazon product matches for many out-of-print games / imported novels remain open.
