Story & Endings

In 1960s Japan, Hinako Shimizu’s routine in the mountain town of Ebisugaoka shatters when a heavy fog arrives and the familiar turns hostile. Alleys and shrines become treacherous, and the silence hides things that move. Silent Hill f crafts psychological horror through intimate choices—where beauty and decay blur.

As Hinako threads through switchbacks and small shrines, she solves layered puzzles and faces grotesque threats. Each step narrows toward a reckoning: to end what must be ended, to choose a path she can own, and to confront the self that fear has been shaping.

Spoiler‑aware arcs & motifs
  • Dual worlds that mirror identity: a deserted town and a ritual space press on Hinako’s human and fox‑aspected selves.
  • Trust under pressure: guidance comes with a price, testing loyalty to friends and family.
  • Ritual as transformation: purification and ceremonial acts recast identity, culminating in bridal imagery that both lures and terrifies.

Endings

Your first playthrough reaches a fixed conclusion; from the second run onward, choices branch the outcome. There are five endings in total:

  • Coming Home to Roost (normal): the default conclusion on your first run.
  • Fox’s Wedding (bad): the ceremony proceeds under Fox Mask’s will, at a personal cost.
  • The Fox Wets its Tail (good): defiance leads back to Ebisugaoka—with consequences beyond the shrine.
  • Ebisugaoka in Silence (true): reconciliation and a deeper antagonist bring resolution and release.
  • UFO (non‑canon): a playful series tradition returns with an alien twist.

About Silent Hill f

In 1960s Japan, the mountain town of Ebisugaoka is swallowed by an unnatural fog, turning familiar alleys and shrines into hostile spaces. You step into the shoes of Hinako Shimizu, threading through backstreets, working through layered puzzles, and facing grotesque entities in a fight to endure.

The scenario is written by renowned author Ryukishi07, and the soundtrack includes new pieces by Akira Yamaoka. Silent Hill f blends intimate psychological mystery with a Japanese setting, asking whether the terror is supernatural, imagined, or rooted in old beliefs.

Music & Sound

The soundtrack includes new work by Akira Yamaoka (Fog World) and Kensuke Inage (Otherworld), with additional contributions by Dai and Xaki. Expect ancient timbres woven into ambient dread, rendered with immersive 3D audio that makes even subtle movement feel uncomfortably near.

Field recordings from Kanayama help anchor place and period, reinforcing the game’s Japanese essence at a sensory level.

Self‑contained story

A complete narrative within the Silent Hill series. The town, era, and cast were conceived specifically for this chapter, making it an approachable entry point.

Audio & Visual Direction

Grotesque yet alluring imagery rendered up to 4K pairs with immersive 3D audio inspired by Japanese tradition. Small sonic cues behind you feel uncomfortably close.

Psychological Mystery

Conversations, rituals, and sightings keep you guessing: What’s real? What’s imagined? What’s inherited from local folklore? The doubt is the point.

Key Features

  • 1960s Japan, reimagined: a remote mountain town becomes a labyrinth of memory, ritual, and invasive bloom, demanding observation and courage.
  • A narrative by Ryukishi07: the Higurashi/Umineko author shapes a mystery that weaponizes doubt and regret without breaking series continuity.
  • Monster design by kera: elegant, psyche‑boring silhouettes honor Silent Hill’s legacy while striking into new, unnervingly beautiful territory.
  • Fog World music by Akira Yamaoka: melodies tuned to psychological dread, returning a familiar voice to Silent Hill f.
  • Otherworld music by Kensuke Inage: a distinct counterpoint that blends traditional Japanese timbres with contemporary texture.
  • Series production vision: producer Motoi Okamoto has framed the revival around a Japanese setting, balancing classic psychological horror with folklore‑driven aesthetics.

Content Advisory

Silent Hill f contains depictions of gender discrimination, child abuse, bullying, drug‑induced hallucinations, torture, and graphic violence. The game is set in 1960s Japan and includes portrayals based on customs of that time. These do not represent the views of the developers.

If you feel uncomfortable at any point, consider taking a break or talking to someone you trust.
