Silent Hill 2 hospital code puzzle and how to solve it

What is the Silent Hill 2 hospital code? Brookhaven Hospital is a location that strikes fear into the heart of any Silent Hill fan, but progressing beyond the hospital's lobby is far trickier in Bloober's remake than in the original.
Silent Hill 2 is as much a puzzle game as it is horror, which can present a bigger challenge to your progression than the enemies themselves. The Silent Hill 2 reception office padlock stands between you and the horrors of this nightmare hospital, and you've got to solve it if you want to reach any of the Silent Hill 2 endings. If you're trapped in the reception office, we can walk you through how to find the hospital code in all difficulty modes.
