The latest one-off iteration of the beloved franchise takes place during the 1960s in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka, Japan. Our protagonist, Hinako Shimizu is a high school student who navigates the sleepy town shrouded in fog — an environmental trope featured in most, if not all, Silent Hill games. Shimizu fights off grotesque monsters and solves mind-bending puzzles in the process while exploring the environment. Similar to other Silent Hill titles, the monsters, environment and even puzzles are manifestations of the main character’s inner struggles.

‘Silent Hill f’

A new Silent Hill game from Konami.

The story is meant to examine the challenges faced by women in 1960s Japan, including gender discrimination. While official reviews of the game haven’t come out yet, it was reported via The Game Post that an alleged Silent Hill f reviewer gave the game 9.5/10, calling it “genuinely spectacular.”

This marks the first new main-line entry in the Silent Hill franchise since 2012’s Silent Hill: Downpour. The revival of the game franchise and its popularity is largely thanks to the remake of Silent Hill 2 in 2024. The original dropped in 2001, and practically changed the world of survival horror and the gaming landscape forever. It’s Its symbolic storytelling and deep, dark themes made the game a stand-out for the time. Like Silent Hill 2, the 1999 title, Silent Hill, was also a history maker.

While most games used pre-rendering backgrounds, Silent Hill used a third-person view with real-time rendering of 3D environments, something that was virtually unheard of for the time. Players be warned. Silent Hill f, and all the other games in the series, are particularly frightening. We’d say purchase and play with caution.
