Leave a Review SILENT HILL
  • Neat idea, very poor execution

    UI is atrocious, first live show was really buggy. It’s unclear when you’re supposed to vote because the voting pops up for three seconds (not even enough time to read everything) then disappears.

    Daily “puzzles” are either poorly explained or just don’t make any sense. Tap all over your screen to find everything then brute force the rest, because there’s no accompanying explanation. Guess you gotta pay for hints or something.

    Story seems outright bad so far. Jumps all over the place constantly. Voice acting is awful. Someone in chat asked, “Did AI write this?” and I couldn’t stop thinking about that through the whole first episode.

    Just a really awful first experience all around. Phone was burning up by the end of the show and lost like 20% battery. Kind of weird if it’s just playing a video. I don’t understand how you overcomplicate and mess up such a simple concept. I have to wonder if any of this was play tested.

  • Disappointed

    I was expecting telltale’s style but noooo. Very fake and not very intuitive. Not very user friendly. Looks like a mess. Money hungry company. Everything you have to pay for. Doesn’t give me Silent Hill vibes
  • P2W could have been soo much more

    It would be way better to have everyone vote set to 1 so it’s fair… Could only imagine how fun it would’ve been to be an actual game that you make your own choices like Until Dawn

    Thank you for your feedback. The notion that users can 'win' by paying is a misconception. Influence Point packs are intentionally small to prevent any individual user from overwhelming decisions. All video and decisions are free. We also added an additional Mindfulness Puzzle for all with new levels on those free puzzles unlocking every day.
  • Worse than I could have imagined

    The votes feel like they don't change anything. The animation is lackluster. Chat covers the screen with stupid stickers. People can just pay to have votes. When the best part of the game with a quick time event, you know it's bad.

    Verdict: 1/4 baked.
  • Not working

    Can’t sign in. Created an account with google and tried signing in but it wouldn’t work, the app directs you to a internet browser to sign in, even then I still can’t sign in. The app never fully loads up, the bar fills to only 75%. Can’t sing in. App won’t load up, google doesn’t have any search results related to my issue either.

  • Pay 2 Win: Telltale Edition

    Unique, supposedly interactive experience sporting a weak narrative, minimalistic player interactions, dull mini games, poor optimisation & constant glitches, with a heavy reliance on microtransactions. Interesting premise executed as a complete catastrophe, staining the already controversial silent hill franchise.

    We truly appreciate your feedback and would love to hear more on how this experience can be improved for you. All decisions are free. Every day, goals and certain puzzles unlock for free. We are working around the clock to make a completely unique interactive series for the community.
  • Don’t bother

    A complete joke. This is why the franchise is dead, didn’t have high hopes anyways but after seeing it first hand I’m honestly angry and disappointed. This is not Silent hill, never was and never will be! don’t waste your time!!!

    Community feedback is very important to us. However, when we come across one like this, there's not much we can learn from it. If you have any suggestions or need help with something, please reach out to our support team, and we'll be happy to look into it.
  • Refreshing !!!

    First off pros :
    - it is super refreshing to see ANYTHING new from silent hill so TY!!
    - I am not super heavy into silent hill and this still was very fun ! Was it perfect ? No but something about participating/ watching this as a live community that felt so fun. This almost felt like those horror movies where it’s of a live streamer an chat is popping off in the corner LOL.
    - it may not be a traditional game but we have so many mobile games that are basically the same so it’s nice to see devs trying something new !
    - graphics were pleasing , setting was creepy

    Ok so if I’m not being biased ; cons :
    - phone felt like it was going to melt ( not sure why since this is more of a FMV then a game ? Also twitch nor genshin combined would make my 13pro max feel this hot ) so forsure that needs fixed.
    - lots of lag during the community quick time events. They were designed to need rapid input which is annoying but fine ; however if that’s the case there can’t be any lag !!! Make it feel like my fault we lost not yours ?!
    - clicking around to type in chat or flip through menus also feels laggy and clunky.
    - this is great launching on Halloween but if it’s live everyday it should of been through out all of spooky month and maybe had a special episode for Halloween !!!

    I say all these cons with love so you guys can work on making this a fun game. This will obviously benefit the community and your pocket$. I look forward to the next episode tomorrow !!

    Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are listening and actively working on improvements. Chat, endure sequences (or QTEs) and overall performance are at our core focus. We love that you appreciate the experience and get that we are trying to do something new and different. We can't wait to see what you think as the story unfolds and what decisions you will make that will impact where the story goes next!
  • Disappointed

    I thought this game was gonna be a third person game where we’ll get to PLAY IT.!?? but we only get to decide in who lives and who’s dies like??? Make the game where we can walk around and explore and feel trapped in the horror of Silent hill and what would be incredible if WE can make our own characters and at the end of season 1 whatever decision has the highest percentage AT THE END wins the the decision but who ever was right one WINS a rare reward for being right.

  • Not great at all

    Glitchy video and audio, when it works... awful acting, awful animation, awful writing. Zero subtlety whatsoever mixed with terrible dialogue. I wasn't expecting a lot but it somehow ended up being even worse. I was present on night one and I will personally not be coming back.
