Game bio
You don’t need to be familiar with the Silent Hill franchise to enjoy this one. It’s a standalone story, though longtime fans will notice references and nods tucked into the world.
Some standout features include:
- 1960s Japan setting – Explore a carefully crafted world full of traditional Japanese aesthetics, eerie townscapes, and sharp 4K visuals.
- Striking horror design – Creatures are both terrifying and oddly beautiful, designed by the Japanese artist Kera.
- Powerful music – Composers Akira Yamaoka and Kensuke Inage bring an emotional, haunting score that mixes old and new.
- Psychological puzzles – These aren’t just roadblocks; they tie directly into the narrative and themes of mental anguish, with writing led by Ryukishi07.
- Unique combat – Combat leans more into melee and action compared to Silent Hill 2. Each fight is tied into Hinako’s emotional journey, giving every encounter weight.
PS5 Pro players get a smoother ride
On PlayStation 5 Pro, the game includes an Enhanced Graphics Mode. It maintains visual detail while improving performance, especially during combat. It’s made for those who want the best-looking and most fluid horror experience possible.
Silent Hill f aims to offer something different, a horror game that doesn’t just scare but lingers, combining disturbing imagery with quiet, tragic beauty. With Ryukishi07’s storytelling, music from Akira Yamaoka, and a setting that blends nostalgia with unease, it’s built to leave a mark.
Whether you’re a returning fan or new to the series, Silent Hill f could be one of this year’s most memorable horror releases.
