So is this a game or a series with game graphics??
It reminds me of Quantic Dreams games.

 

[RaduN]

I honestly don't give a shit.

I know one should ignore the things one doesn't care about, but somehow i felt the need to say it.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Why is this giving me Abandoned vibes?

So you vote on something every day for 6 months, and it's an episode once a week? I don't get it.

 

[Jack Package]

I thought this was going to be some kind of weird website-based experiment, but it's a horror show on a fucking APP?

WHO WISHED FOR A SILENT HILL COMEBACK ON THEIR MONKEY PAW? I NEED A WORD

joke product. Silent Hill will turn into a cash grab series for the second time.

I am expecting “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch”, but in Silent Hill. I pre registered hoping it gives some life to Silent Hill. There’s some in app purchases.

“IP Bundle” isn’t very descriptive. At least my hopes aren’t up.

 

[MudoSkills]

Ah yes, the innovative new Silent Hill project nobody was asking for and that nobody is excited for.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I hope this doesn't do well for them. Such a dumb idea IMO.

What's unfortunate is that this is the first "game/experience" that we get from Silent Hill after its resurrection. I feel like the majority really don't give a shit, lol.

 

[Kusarigama]

Knowing how bad I am at such things, I am probably going to make them all die

The fuck is this.

IP bundle.

Maybe Konami is finally selling the Silent Hill franchise.

This isn't the Silent Hill revival fans asked for

 

[SJRB]

Browse through video, first thing I hear:

"It is not a game, it's a streaming service"

But why?

Why is this giving me Abandoned vibes?

[Drizzlehell]

Ah yes, nothing like a confusing mobile choose-your-own-adventure app to make a comeback for your beloved survival horror IP.

Konami stays Konami'd.

 

[SHA]

So who did not support the IP feel ashamed and support them willingly in the future.

So, the new Silent Hill is basically The Dark Pictures Anthology from Wish.
