Find The Beauty in Terror in This Trailer For SILENT HILL F, Which Tells a Nightmarish Story Set in Japan

Whoa… Konami recently dropped the first trailer for Silent Hill f and this latest game in the long running psycological horror franchise is set in Japan and it looks like a freaking beautiful game!

The story takes place in 1960s Japan, and it follows Shimizu Hinak, who’s secluded town of Ebisugaoka is consumed by a sudden fog. Her once-familiar home becomes a haunting nightmare.

As the town falls silent and the fog thickens, Hinako must navigate the twisted paths of Ebisugaoka, solving complex puzzles and confronting grotesque monsters to survive.

“Immerse yourself into Hinako's world as imagined by renowned author Ryukishi07, with entrancing soundscapes by Akira Yamaoka and beautiful visuals in a gripping tale of doubt, regret, and inescapable choices.

“Will Hinako embrace the beauty hidden within terror, or succumb to the madness that lies ahead? Discover a new chapter in the SILENT HILL series, blending psychological horror with a haunting Japanese setting.”

Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto, said the game will focus on “[finding] the beauty in terror. Regardless of its new setting in Japan, this is without a doubt a Silent Hill game. Silent Hill f‘s mixture of beautiful and terrifying visuals gives new life to Silent Hill as a Japanese-style horror game.”

Ryukishi07, known for his Higurashi When They Cry visual novel, described the concept of Silent Hill as a setting, one that has seen “many memories, stories and much pain with a dark history.”

He also said that Silent Hill is also about portraying a characters’ struggles with the evil within themselves. “Of these two interpretations, if we consider the latter to be closer to the core of Silent Hill, then we can see how this game is very much a Silent Hill.”

Things are going to get so grim at points, thet Konami released a disclaimer saying that it'sokay if you need to take a break now and then. It reads: "If you feel uncomfortable at any point while playing, please take a break from playing or speak to someone you trust." I lov e that!

Legendary composer Akira Yamaoka returns to craft the chilling soundscapes of Silent Hill f blending haunting melodies attuned to the series’ psychological horror roots to create a universally unsettling experience.

Accompanying Yamaoka is game composer Kensuke Inage, who has worked on the Dynasty Warriors series, as well as Tekken 8 and Samurai Shodown. Inage will be responsible for composing the music for the game’s Otherworld, adding a unique auditory contrast between the two Worlds in Silent Hill f.

A release date has not been revealed, but I can’t wait to play this!
