A New Story Set in Japan in the 1960s
Teenage Shimizu Hinako lives an ordinary life in the isolated mountain hamlet of Ebisugaoka—until a dense fog rolls in, turning her once-familiar home into a bleak and terrible place. Hinako must work through the ghostly relics of her past, solve challenging riddles, and fight terrifying creatures to survive in a town that appears to be deserted and where an unidentified, creeping threat lurks in the mist.
She is forced to confront the horrors that lie beyond the mists and make the difficult decision to choose between beauty and lunacy.
A Visionary Horror Narrative by Ryukishi07
Renowned author Ryukishi07, who is most known for his work on Higurashi When They Cry and Umineko When They Cry, contributes his own style of psychological horror and poignant narrative to SILENT HILL f. Ryukishi07, who is renowned for creating incredibly engrossing stories that delve into human nature and social norms, characterizes his participation as a profoundly intimate experience:
“To this day, I remember the feeling of my first encounter with the strangling and oppressive atmosphere of SILENT HILL. It still deeply haunts me, and it still utterly fascinates me. It’s an honor to find myself involved with a series I have so many memories with. I’ve poured all my efforts into this story, so much so that I don’t think I would mind if it was the last thing I ever wrote.
To me, the SILENT HILL series is more than just a collection of stories, it’s a medium; an amazing, phenomenal way of exploring and experiencing a person’s heart and mind. It’s my hope that players out there will come to appreciate it in the same way. To all of our overseas friends, I hope you’ll enjoy a look at what SILENT HILL might be like if set somewhere a little different, like Japan.”
An Audacious New Horror Approach
Renowned illustrator and monster designer Kera, who is well-known for her vivid card game and monster design work, is joining the project. Strongly influenced by SILENT HILL 2, Kera has put in many hours to produce a visual experience that pays tribute to the series while moving it in a different path.
After more than 25 years as a defining force in the SILENT HILL series, renowned composer Akira Yamaoka returns to create the eerie soundscapes of SILENT HILL f. Yamaoka, who is in charge of writing the soundtrack for the game’s Fog World, combines eerie tunes that are sensitive to SILENT HILL’s psychological horror origins to produce an experience that is universally unnerving and appeals to both new and devoted players.
Renowned game composer Kensuke Inage will accompany Akira Yamaoka in creating the soundtrack for the game’s Otherworld, which will provide a distinctive aural contrast between the two Worlds in SILENT HILL f. Kensuke is recognized for his unique ability to fuse parts of Japanese music with modern genres in more than 30 video game titles.
With the goal of revitalizing the series with its first-ever Japanese setting, producer Motoi Okamoto spearheads the SILENT HILL 2 remake. He highlights the game’s original approach to horror, striking a balance between the peculiar aesthetic of Japanese folklore and fear and classic SILENT HILL psychological components.
A Boundary-Pushing Experience
SILENT HILL f will challenge players with uncomfortable themes and their attached psychological torment. The game reflects the customs and culture of Japan during that era while delivering an intense and deeply emotional horror experience.
Players can wishlist NOW on all respective platform stores to play on PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X|S consoles or on PC via Steam, Microsoft Store and the Epic Games Store.
