Bio
Most play times captured from PS4/PC/Switch playthroughs. Some playthroughs done on Steam Deck. May not be completely accurate for games I got in PS2/PS3 era, though I try to log everything I can currently play now.

Reading the art book and finding out the lead dev used to work at Evermore Park makes this game make more sense. Not necessarily scary, but it feels more accurately like a weird FMV game from the mid-90s than people trying to do conscious parodies of the style. Nails that feel of a bunch of actors getting together and putting together a weird interactive project (see: MODE, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, Night Trap).

(logging at time of first completed run)

If this ever gets a mobile port, society will grind to a halt

Pros: Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka are back doing their thing, which does end up lending the game an unexpected sense of authenticity. The production design looks great.

Cons: Very clearly written by middle-aged men who probably mean well, but have no idea what teenage girls are like these days. You get a lot of very awkward moments like the protagonist crying about not getting enough likes. The chase sequences are inexplicable.

My expectations are on the floor for Konami's attempts to bring Silent Hill back, so it's nice to have a game even slightly beat my expectations.
