Silent Hill Series

Silent Hill (Japanese: サイレントヒル, Hepburn: Sairento Hiru) is a horror media franchise centered on a series of survival horror games created by Keiichiro Toyama and published by Konami. The first four main games—Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill 4: The Room—were developed by Team Silent, a development staff within the former Konami subsidiary Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo from 1999 to 2004.

The franchise is primarily set in the fictional town of Silent Hill, a place plagued by supernatural events, and follows various characters drawn to the town, where they encounter horrifying creatures, psychological torment, and mysteries tied to their own pasts.

The next four mainline games—Origins, Homecoming, Shattered Memories, and Downpour—were developed by other, mostly Western, developers and released between 2007 and 2012. The Silent Hill franchise has expanded to include various print pieces, two feature films, and spin-off video games. As of 2013, the game series has sold over 8.4 million copies worldwide. Since 2022, Konami has embarked on a series of projects in the series including games Silent Hill: The Short Message, the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2, and the upcoming Silent Hill f, with various spin-offs releasing during the two periods.

Silent Hill

Silent Hill is a 1999 survival horror video game developed by Team Silent, a group within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and published by Konami for the PlayStation. It is the first installment in the Silent Hill video game series. Silent Hill uses a third-person view with real-time rendering of 3D environments. To mitigate the limitations of the console hardware, developers used distance fog and darkness to obscure the graphics and hide pop-ins, which, in turn, helped establish the game’s atmosphere and mystery. Unlike earlier survival horror games that focused on protagonists with combat training, the player character of Silent Hill is an “everyman”.
