Watched it instead of played because I don't have a PS5 lmao

Lots of potential, but sadly all of it feels squandered on laughable writing that you would think was written by a teenager in their edgy phase, and what sometimes feels like amateur, stilted voice acting, which results in the game being hard to engage and immerse oneself with.

To be honest, this doesn't even feel like a Silent Hill entry, but that franchise has been in a rut for the past long while. The message is there somewhere about mental health and the impact of social media on vulnerable youth, but all of it is lost beneath this messy incoherence and problems surrounding the actual game.

The only good parts of this game appear to be the soundtrack (Akira Yamaoka doing the thing he does best), the presentation; the game looks good visually, and the monster design is really neat.

It's a shame. It is especially damning to rag on this title because of the fact that it is free, and knowing a group of people worked hard on this, but I just can't recommend this seeing how there are much better games you can spend your time in.
