When Hinako Shimizu'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.

Written by Ryūkishi07, famed for Japanese visual novels (When They Cry series) dealing with murder mysteries, psychological and supernatural horror, and produced by Motoi Okamoto.

Silent Hill f will challenge players with uncomfortable themes and their attached psychological torment. The game reflects the customs and culture of Japan during that era while delivering an intense and deeply emotional horror experience.

Immerse yourself into Hinako's world 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?

This trailer shows Shimizu Hinako’s perilous journey as the high schooler’s hometown is engulfed in fog, and the dangers within will have her fighting for her life.

The mission statement during development was the following: “Find the beauty in terror”. That concept brought us to four central pillars for the game that we want to highlight today:

Firstly, you’ll be able to explore authentic depiction of 1960s Japan, the intricate details of the misty townscape all the more striking when enjoyed at a 4K resolution.

Second, visuals and music continue that juxtaposition between beauty and terror. There is the terrible beauty of the game’s monster design – created by the artist kera that marries Japanese horror with the uniqueness of Silent Hill’s previous, terrifying creations – while composers Akira Yamaoka and Kensuke Inage fashion a score that evokes the past but is entirely fitting with this new setting.

Third, puzzles are grounded in psychological anguish and suffering. These are deeply connected to the story by scriptwriter Ryukishi07, as well as elements of Japanese culture, such as scarecrows (which has inspired some of the haunting scenes you’ll see in the trailer).

Lastly, the game features unique combat. The encounters are as challenging as the obstacles that Hinako must overcome in life. The combat will have a heavier focus on melee and be more action-oriented compared to last year’s Silent Hill 2.
