The House Abandon is masterful indeed. It’s ten minutes of text on a screen that is incredibly immersive. The player is drawn into the setting, staring at the screen through a screen, which makes the ending all the more effective.
Hopefully this game will do something a little different with the series, as Climax and Sam Barlow did with Shattered Memories. The first person framing sequences and lack of combat added so much to the experience and proved that Silent Hill works best when it focuses on the psychological elements and less on action.
Overall, the “Transmission” was good, but it felt as if a proper Silent Hills/5 was missing. Ascension sounds like it could be an interesting experiment, but details on Townfall and f were so scant that it’s impossible to guess the scope of those projects. I’m hoping Townfall will be a larger game in scale – it would be a shame if it’s a shorter experience and f is only a visual novel.
Silent Hill 2 Remake is the main draw here for the moment and perhaps that’s the game that is going to be detailed the most in the coming months.
Lastly, how many RED PYRAMID THING figures are needed?
