The latest Silent Hill transmission has revealed a brand new entry in the series, Silent Hill f. Set in 1960s Japan, this psychological horror game brings a fresh yet terrifying twist to the Silent Hill franchise.
Developed by NeoBards Entertainment, the studio behind Resident Evil: ReVerse, and published by Konami, Silent Hill f introduces a chilling new setting and an eerie narrative penned by Ryukishi07, a renowned Japanese horror writer.
Who is Ryukishi07?
Ryukishi07 is best known for his work on the acclaimed When They Cry visual novel series, which includes Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Umineko no Naku Koro ni. His writing blends psychological horror, unsettling mysteries, and emotional depth, making him a perfect fit for Silent Hill f’s disturbing new story.
In a recent statement, he shared his thoughts on the project:
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 were 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. I 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.
With his unique storytelling style, Silent Hill f is expected to deliver an unforgettable and deeply disturbing experience.
