The writer of Silent Hill F says that many female characters of the franchise experience “a lot of suffering”, “so he wants his protagonist to make her own decisions, for good or bad.”

Women in Silent Hill are suffocated to death, bleed from the waist down and tortured by their fathers. It is not my idea of ​​the perfect spring holidays, but sometimes it is inevitable. According to Stiller Hill F, the latest title in Konamis Survival Horror series, will not make life easier for her female protagonist, but the writer Ryukishi07 will at least swear to strengthen her.

“So far I have played every Silent Hill game,” says Ryukishi07, the mythical creator behind the when you cry visual novels, in Konami’s youngest Silent Hill broadcast. “One thing that I noticed is that many of the female characters are enforced a lot of suffering throughout their life. Therefore, I thought that if this game would have a protagonist, I want her to make her own decisions. For better or worse in her fight.”

Ryukishi07 continues: “I don’t want it to be pulled through the story, but to find her own answers. That was the kind of protagonist – or at least the kind of history – that I wanted to create.”

As a loyal Silent Hill fan, I am relieved to hear this. Some of me were always comforted by the Kothonic gods and disasters, which surrounded the female characters of the franchise in rusty terror.

Like these girls, light and family -oriented until they had knives, I have the feeling that I have also seen fear that go beyond my wish beyond my choice. I felt represented by Angela in Silent Hill 2, from Maria, from Heather Mason in Silent Hill 3. I didn’t have to be alone with them.

But I also always wish that blood-related sadness was not presented as essential for femininity, although many pieces of horror media-not only silent hill, the connection seem impossible.

Nevertheless, Silent Hill F can end the curse of the expectation. I look forward to seeing what the young protagonist of Silent Hill F, Hinako Shimizu, does to escape the city that blooms around them like mold. Everything is possible with a steel tube in hand.

Silent Hill F’s re-reveeal trailer shows some of the crazy monsters I have ever seen in the 25-year-old survival horror series.
