Set in Nineteen Sixties Japan, Silent Hill: f breaks from the small resort city in Maine, however different parts that followers ought to anticipate from the sequence are all right here. This is the official description:
“When Hinako Shimizu’s secluded city of Ebisugaoka is consumed by a sudden fog, her once-familiar residence turns into a haunting nightmare,” Konami mentioned. “Because the city falls silent and the fog thickens, Hinako should navigate the twisted paths of Ebisugaoka, fixing complicated puzzles and confronting grotesque monsters to outlive.”
The title has a notable shade palette change, with brighter visuals and contrasts that lean into the beauty-in-terror vibe it is going for. This may also be the primary time since Silent Hill 3 that the sequence could have a feminine protagonist.
