Leave a Review SILENT HILL
Cool concept but really really unfortunate experience
I really wanted to give this a chance. However, it appears the developer has admitted when you purchase Influence Points basically your decisions don’t matter. It’s very clear when you play the game the choices were decided from the beginning, and thus no choices are actually being made by players. This is unfortunate that they decided to bring out as the first Silent Hill media in 10 years. It’s negative reception is really hurting the brand preception online.
Edit: Developer responded, not I’m actually convinced it’s gambling and not a regular mobile game.Show lessMister Jevne

Truly appreciate your review and feedback. We are glad you think the concept is cool and we are listening and working on making the experience better everyday. I did want to clarify that your choices DO matter, the point we were trying to make is that not one person can buy their way into making the choice they want because we have so much activity from the community and we intentionally make IP Packs small. The whole entire community matters and the more you and the rest of the community decide on a particular outcome, the more it helps us see numbers in the millions for choices which keeps the system fair. Not every decision you choose will always play out depending on what the audience decides, but plenty of them will. It is important to keep deciding actively because it will help us maintain a fair and balanced experience for everyone.An absolute abomination and not in a good way
This is legitimately the worst media endeavor I have ever been subjected to. As a long time fan of Silent Hill I feel personally offended that the IP was attached to such a soulless, uninspired project. The only way this could be improved is by apologizing, pulling the app, and issuing refunds to anyone who was tricked into spending money on this absolute travesty of a Silent Hill installment. It is absolutely unsalvageable in writing, design, execution- literally every aspect of this app is absurdly flawed to the very core. Even the base concept is awful. I don’t understand how any of this was approved for development and then release. At its core it is not a story, it is a shameless money grab that appeals to vanity and desire for control. The narratives presented are not compelling enough for me to even have an opinion about how they should proceed. I’ve never before been so disgusted by an app that I’ve felt the need to write a full review, so I guess it was moving in that sense.Show lessporterone
Swing and a miss!
Funny how I’m rewriting my review after it was deleted before the reviews can come out. Too bad that now they see that the game truly is 1 star trash meant to take money!
The concept of a Silent Hill game that worked like other choice based games (Until Dawn) sounded really good! Having to choose what happens to each character, whether is all die, all live or some die/live. That’s actually sounds cool for Silent Hill, considering that the premise of each game is that the characters choices cause the horror.
Yeah this isn’t the game! The choices picked don’t matter considering it was admitted that the story already has been picked (remember the beginning prologue? People picked that she continue ceremony but they killed her anyway). Don’t fall for this hot garbage! Let it die out. If people want to be dumb and pay for it, let them!Show lessSSGRedReaper

Another in the line of the trend that rips any nostalgia or favor you have in the series in order to milk money out of the user while simultaneously spitting in the face and memory of a once great franchise. 0/0 This game shouldn’t exist. The fact that it exists is insulting to anyone who has ever played the original team silent games. Do yourself a favor and play any of the Silent Hill 1-4 games instead. Play them for 8 months on repeat instead. Spend your money on any of those copies of those games instead. They are worth their prices, I assure you. You will be blown away. Forget this “game” exists in the same space as silent hill. It is soulless, it is predatory, it is insulting.Show lessÂūrēłïüš

We appreciate your comment, and like you, we're fans of the previous SILENT HILL games and films. However, this experience never sought to be a game but something entirely different and new in the form of an interactive series. We welcome any feedback that can help us improve this experience for youCreating Silent Hill History.
GenVid has taken on one of the most ambitious ideas in modern entertainment: Fusing components of audience-voted television, psychological horror, social media and video gaming in order to let the public participate in and shape the world of Silent Hill - one of the most beloved and respected horror franchises of all time. Ascension features live decision-making and quicktime events, pre- and post-show breakdowns with the developers, in-app minigames that influence characters’ mental states, weekly-compiled episodes on Tubi, a soundtrack by cEvin Key of legendary industrial band Skinny Puppy and more. Staples of the series that appear here include its unique monsters, dynamic characters in complex relationships, hope and despair, fractured families, eerie sound design, the parallel world known as The Otherworld and of course the infamous fog. While some bugs and glitches made for a rocky start to the show, the developers have been quick to acknowledge and fix them. This unprecedented endeavor must be seen to be believed. For now, no one - including its developers - knows which directions it will take.Show lessJonny Lupsha

Thank you for your support! We look forward to seeing how the story plays out with your decisions moving forward.Just Bad
Nonsensical story and just not interesting.
Response to developer: thanks for the reply. None of the story connects especially when there was no build up to what is going on. It’s all over the place and all of a sudden the creatures are in the background in some scenes and it just doesn’t flow. I’m a huge silent hill fan like many others who were open minded for the project but this just doesn’t hit. It’s not a game, the puzzles are unoriginal, it’s not a movie because you have to watch it in segments, it’s not Silent Hill because the subtleties to build a story are not there. Sorry, thanks for trying but I’ll pass. (Not to mention, there is a battle pass!)Show lessSolrac rod

Appreciate your feedback. We'd love to understand what part of the story isn’t connecting with you. We’re also just getting started and only have a little over 45 mins through the story. We have a lot more of the series to unfold, new characters, twists and turns and conflicts coming up.Most predatory game of all time
1 star is being very kind, this game is a disgraceful cash grab and easily one of the most predatory games every made, the developers should be ashamed of themselvesJoe muzzy

Thank you for your feedback. All decisions are free. There is no video or story content behind a paywall. Every day, goals and certain puzzles unlock for free. We are creating a community-based product with the ability of having millions of people participate easily and free.Am I one of the few who love it?
Ok so I have been a big silent hill fan for a long time, since I was a kid. I know that this might not be what some fans wanted and I totally understand that, but for what it is I think it gets more hate than it deserves. It hasn’t been out that long and I’m sure it’s gonna get better. I also think most fans expected it to be a game like I did. However I will say game or not seeing anything silent hill is a win in my books!Show lessClayton Matushek

We are glad you are enjoying the experience so far and thank you for your support! We look forward to seeing how the story unfolds based on community decisions moving forward. We appreciate you being a part of this amazing community and we will continue to improve the experience every day.Horrible game
Konami thought they would win their fans back with this? It’s atrocious, the graphics looks ugly, the story is a mess, ya should have done an until dawn type game and it would have been much better than this “game” you call. Konami doesn’t care about its fan. This game also has a battle pass…a battle pass for things that aren’t necessary. This is predatory practices to get people to pay for meaningless things. This game is a 0/5 stars but I can’t send a 0 star review so 1/5 will have to do. Avoid this game like the plague it is, let’s hope they don’t ruin silent hill 2 next and silent hill fShow lessXxDarkness157xX
Terrible
I couldn’t even get it going. Downloaded the app and the login details didn’t work. I tried to reset the password but never got the email. I tried twice. This is a terrible way to treat this once iconic franchise.Samudi2010
