  • Not a game it’s a show…

    When I downloaded this, I thought it was the game.
    So heads up this isn’t a game this is a show but I wouldn’t even download it if I knew it was a show. Because why is it even in the Apple Store. it would've been ok if it was a website where you could watch the episodes it would be better but putting it in a game store like…

    But why is this in the Apple Store if it’s not even a game. I got so hyped up thinking I could play the game on my phone but anyways, not downloading this again😭…

  • The lowest low for Silent Hill

    This is painful to watch. It feels as though this was made by a highschool AV club. The stories are so mind bogglingly poorly acted and written. The pacing is all over the place. This is such a bad experience and should be avoided. I find it hard to believe there was any quality assurance with this product. Not one bit of it was interesting, scary, or made you think. This project should be cancelled.

  • Can’t type in a user name

    I’d heard Ascension was bad, but it won’t even let me type in a user name. Keyboard comes up, nothing happens when I type. Garbage.

  • No. Just No.

    I was mildly optimistic/interested in this when announced but this has to be maybe the most soulless Silent Hill project aside from the pachinko games. The idea of a community creating a canon Silent Hill story sounds great but the execution ranges from disappointing to terrible. The app interface is pretty cluttered and ugly. It really clashes with the self serious tone of the story when you have a chat that allows you to throw goofy stickers out at as scenes unfold. The animation of characters, specifically the facial animation, is incredibly stiff and everyone has a dead eyed Polar Express look. The writing is littered with clunky exposition and unnatural conversations. Voice acting ranges from robotic to flat out silly. I was often reminded of the worst cutscenes from Heavy Rain while watching. And while the developer has constantly argued this experience is not pay to win, you can literally buy “influence points” to have a larger effect on the story. The monetization is disgustingly greedy and reeks of a corporate cash grab mindset way more scary than anything happening in this series. Avoid it at all costs and wait for the other, far more promising projects. Or better yet, play some of the original games for some of the best thematically rich stories in gaming.

  • Not that bad

    After watching the first three episodes and catching a live episode it’s actually not that bad. The animation is a bit janky but the acting is good. The only thing I hope this series does is that once it’s completed you can go back to any episode, by yourself, and explore different dialogues or outcomes.

  • Interesting concept completely butchered by greed

    This is essentially a pay to win Tv series where the rich have a much greater influence on how it plays out. Don’t even try this. It’s pure and utter garbage. Gives me no hope for the Silent hill franchise.

  • Feels Lifeless

    Even though it was said AI wasn’t used, I’m behind that it was implemented in the writing.

    Everything feels so..cold. The soul of Silent Hill is lost in this series. I wish that we were not thrown into so much trauma right away. I also have no clue what’s going on because I’m not even given time to know these characters to begin with. I want to be fed bits and pieces I want to think about this charcater before I commit to deciding their fate. I feel like this is a bad attempt at a Telltale game because even the choices just feel poorly handled and there’s not really an impact made nor felt.
    I want to see the actual town of Silent Hill I want to see the town pull in people fighting through their own personal battles..I want to relate to them. Sadly I diddnt get any of that from this and after 16 minutes in I just had to turn it off. I’m sorry..I’m a big Silent Hill fan but this was hurtful to experience.

  • Not was I was expecting for the silent hill return

    Was hoping for a great return for silent hill. This isn’t the silent hill I remember. Silent hill 1 remaster would be great or an hd collection for ios and Nintendo switch. Not sure what silent hill acension was trying to accomplish but it failed.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback. This interactive series never sought out to be a game, but entirely something new and different. The slate of upcoming traditional console games as well as the next movie has been announced and we are excited for them as well. This includes a SH2 Remake. We wanted to take SILENT HILL into new areas where fans could shape the canon of our story in addition to expanding the universe into new locations, characters and monsters. We’d love to understand what isn’t connecting for you and the story is just getting started. We have a lot more of the series to unfold, new characters, twists and turns and conflicts coming up.
