First Horror Game I've Ever Dared to Play
8Silent Hill: The Short Message is a brand new game in the storied psychological horror series Silent Hill, announced and released today as a free download for PlayStation 5.
This compact two-hour first-person game centres on teenage protagonist Anita as she searches for her missing friend Maya in a spooky abandoned building. The game makes effective use of its themes of suicide, self-harm, bullying and isolation to create a feeling of genuine dread, bringing the central themes of early games in the series entries into a modern perspective, while offering a sensitive portrayal of its subject matter that never feels exploitative or crude.
Motoi Okamoto, the overall producer of the Silent Hill series, also served as the director and scenario director on The Short Message, while longtime Silent Hill team members Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka return as monster designer and composer respectively. While the game was developed by Osaka-based indie studio HexaDrive, itโs clear that Konami has very much taken the lead โ The Short Message is not a spinoff but a new standalone entry in the series, setting the tone for the remake of Silent Hill 2 and other announced titles such as Silent Hill and Silent Hill: Townfall.
