Silent Hill

Silent Hill is a survival horror franchise created by Keiichiro Toyama and published by Konami. The core series, developed by Team Silent (1999-2004), comprises Silent Hill 1-4. The games typically involve protagonists drawn to the eponymous town, a place manifesting their inner demons and traumas into grotesque monsters and nightmarish alternate realities. The town itself acts as a character, shaped by psychic energies and dark histories. Central themes include psychological horror, repressed memories, guilt, and the exploration of the human psyche through symbolism and disturbing imagery.
