A chilling spin-off of the popular horror franchise
Silent Hill f is the latest installment in the critically acclaimed adventure game franchise, Silent Hill developed by Konami Digital Entertainment. This survival horror game takes you back to 1960s Japan, where an entirely new storyline and a different set of monsters await you.
Seeing as Silent Hill f is still under development, not much is known about the game just yet. However, players can expect similar gameplay to other titles from the franchise, including Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill: Townfall, both of which feature open-world exploration, mind-boggling puzzles, and combative elements.
Entering a new era
With its first title released in 1999, Silent Hill has grown to become one of the most popular horror game franchises on the market over the decades. Each title in the series takes place in the same fictional town of Silent Hill, which houses horrifying secrets that the respective protagonists of each game will have to uncover whether willingly or not.
In Silent Hill f, players will go back in time to a rural Japanese town where they’ll find a lone female student who is trying to evade a plant-like creature. The game’s visuals are incredibly well-done and provide a lifelike atmosphere that immerses you in the game. It’s important to note that due to the horror elements, there is a good amount of gore that can unsettle players.
This installment also takes writer, Ryukishi07, on board to make sure you can look forward to a chilling, well-written plot. You can also look forward to an incredible soundtrack that’s both beautiful and horrifying at the same time. However, fans of the classic Silent Hill plot formula may feel a little disappointed as this title aims to deviate from its own mold.
Deeper lore
Since Silent Hill f is set way before the original title of the franchise, players can expect some additional lore that explains some of the unanswered questions that have been left by this game’s predecessors. While not everyone can be a fan of the new direction it’s taking, players can definitely look forward to a thick new storyline filled with stunning visuals to create a mesmerizing experience.
