The game's story follows Shimizu Hinako, an ordinary teenager whose life takes a terrifying turn when her town is engulfed in fog and undergoes horrifying transformations. Hinako must navigate this unrecognizable environment, solve puzzles, and battle strange enemies to survive and confront a pivotal decision. The narrative is described as "a tale about a beautiful yet terrifying choice."

Find the Beauty in Terror

Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto emphasized that the core concept of Silent Hill f is to "find the beauty in terror." While maintaining the series' signature psychological horror, the team ventured into new territory by setting the game in Japan. Okamoto highlighted a key aspect of Japanese horror: the unsettling nature of perfection and beauty. Players will experience this through the eyes of Hinako, who faces a decision that is both beautiful and terrifying.

Silent Hill f Is A Completely Independent Story

Okamoto assured that Silent Hill f offers a standalone story, welcoming new players while still delighting long-time fans with subtle easter eggs. The game's writer, Ryukishi07, known for his psychological Japanese horror visual novels, brings his expertise to the project. As a fan of the franchise, Ryukishi07 aimed to honor Silent Hill's roots while pushing the series into new territory. One of the significant challenges was crafting a Silent Hill experience outside the series' traditional setting.

Ryukishi07 expressed confidence in their creation, stating, "Naturally, from a creator’s standpoint, I feel I can confidently say that what we’ve made is a Silent Hill game. However, we’re interested in seeing how long-time fans of the series feel after playing, and if they agree."

Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. While no specific release date has been announced, stay tuned for the latest updates by clicking on our article below!
