Silent Hill F marks a radical departure from the franchise’s familiar fog-drenched Americana, relocating the horror to rural Japan. Set in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka, the game follows Hinako Shimizu, a reclusive schoolgirl entangled in supernatural decay and psychological torment. The narrative, penned by Ryukishi07 (Higurashi When They Cry), leans into folkloric horror, societal repression, and identity fragmentation.
