SILENT HILL f

Who am I? Am I the culmination of billions of years of cosmic stardust that apparently came about from nothing? The science experiment by some eldrich being? The creation of an omnipotent God? Or am I perhaps just a brain in a vat being run through a computer simulation? I know I'm not the same person today as I was a couple of years ago. By now all of the skin that once made me has turned into dust and regrown into a new organ that surrounds my innards. I've changed, I've learnt things, experienced hardships, gotten help when I thought I didn't need it and got betrayed by people that probably didn't even mean to do it. Are they evil? Surely not, but when I don't even know who I am, can I be certain about anyone else? Do I have free will, or am I just a bunch of outside factors that have shaped my brain into something that controls this body and its thoughts on autopilot? Deluding myself with the idea of freedom of choice to protect me and make my everyday life easier. Do I hate a certain food because it tastes bad or because I'm a mirror of my father, who also hates said dish? Are my stylistic choices really mine, or did I one day come upon a fashion magazine that I don't even remember anymore, which told me what to like? I know I don't want to marry or have children, but maybe one day I'll change my mind. You never know, life likes to chuck curveballs like that straight at your face right when you're most comfortable with yourself. I am free to ponder on these thoughts to my heart's content. I have a whole myriad of people to learn from and listen to, I have support all around me and have all the time in the world to find myself in this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ we call a world. Today's understanding of the human brain is a marvel to behold, but loads of people today are still as unlucky as Hinako and live half a decade before a solution for their problems arises. Some shallow people might call me deep. Some deep people might call me shallow. But the reality is that I'm probably just mostly alright and sometimes a bit annoying. Now take these ideas, put them in the head of a teenager living in 1960s conservative Japan, with barely any autonomy over who she can be, with barely any choices of her own she can make, with every "radical" idea that she ponders over potentially leading to her exclusion from the society she lives in. With her only solution being a tea made from bamboo and frog piss that she has to inhale through her eyeballs on every 7th moon of her third menstrual cycle. Surely that will help her, and isn't some scam by a local charlatan...? And present that in the most artistically interesting, breathtakingly horrifying, and Silent Hill way possible... And you get Silent Hill f. This game is what art is all about. 9/10

F -> FAIL i loved SH 1-4 ... i played plenty of Souls Likes and usually play most games on highest difficulty or hardcore modes... that said.: after 2hrs i gave up on "playing" the game. i switched to easy mode, which is almost like godmode and left the puzzles on HARD (never had to look up a solution and never got stuck for more than a few minutes on the hardest puzzle, its very easy) and never regreted it. combat sucks ass, way to many enemys, way to spongey, ... .there is literally no challenge other than dodge and than slowly grind away the HP of the enemy, it feels like work. this one had so much potential and at times its stunningly beatiful and has a decently interesting and deep story... but most of the times you run like a fool through mindnumbingly bland, boring, endless, empty corridors and one horde arena after the other with simplyfied basic souls-like combat, but really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ executed. overall gameplay is very boring . there is like only one section in the entire game that feels like real silent hill gameplay and that i trully enjoyed... and thats the school. this is the first SH that i had to force myself to finish... and i had to look up an explanation for the story because even though its decent... its super fukn confusing and cryptic. wasted potential and huge dissapointment, bought this on sale and i still feel robed of my money and time...i would refund if i could. of 9 hrs that it took me to finish it, i enjoyed probably 2hrs at best.

Help, I'm-a scared note from my friend: 2.6 hours. Keep in mind 2.4 of that was editing settings and walking to the actual scary part

Really enjoyed it. Very feminine horror like Silent Hill 3.
