Silent Hill f writer Ryukishi07 explains how the cultish town isn't just a place now, but a "phenomenon"

A femininomenon, successful f's case

Last year, aft a spot of a wait, Silent Hill was released, and with it came immoderate changes to the series. The combat was a batch much actiony, the format for aggregate endings was drastically different, but the astir evident alteration was its setting. We're not successful Silent Hill anymore, Toto! We're successful Ebisugaoka, Japan, besides a fictional town, though intelligibly not a fictional country. And that's due to the fact that Silent Hill, the place, is present besides Silent Hill, the "phenomenon."

Writer of the crippled Ryukishi07 precocious shared successful an interrogation with Famitsu (ta for the translations, GamesRadar) that helium felt unsure of wherefore Silent Hill f would beryllium acceptable successful Japan. "I discussed a batch of things with bid shaper [Motoi] Okamoto successful a gathering aft I received the petition [to constitute Silent Hill f,]" Ryukishi07 shared.

"Like 'Why is it acceptable successful Japan?' and 'What precisely is Silent Hill?'" But it was portion speaking with Okamoto that the brace "came to the decision that Silent Hill is not conscionable the sanction of a place, it is simply a phenomenon. Looking backmost I deliberation I was capable to make a beauteous satisfying basal for the communicative and satellite from this."

You mightiness retrieve that specified a happening was adjacent referenced successful The Short Message, which rather virtually makes notation of a "Silent Hill phenomenon." I'm surely not opposed to the bid taking a much anthological approach, I adjacent deliberation that's what it should beryllium doing. But I person to accidental that putting a sanction to it feels a spot excessively overmuch similar showing your hand. Revel successful the mystery, successful the unknown, the horror! It's much amusive that way.

Anyway, weirdly revealing prime oregon not, I bash really deliberation Silent Hill f is rather good, and worthy a popular yourself if you haven't fixed it a accidental already.
