SILENT HILL f

5ヶ月, 1週間 - Harry Mason and his daughter Cheryl are heading to a small midwestern resort town. Suddenly, Harry sees a dark figure in the street and swerves to avoid it, causing a serious accident. After coming to, Harry realizes that he has smashed the car and Cheryl is missing. Further, it has started to snow in the middle of summer, and the town appears to be deserted. You must guide Harry through the town while he searches for his daughter and tries to discover what happened in this strange community. Along the way, you will explore a hospital, elementary school, and the streets of the town. Since Harry is an ordinary guy, he will have to catch his breath after running and will often miss his target when shooting. The entire game is given a frightening feeling with eerie lighting effects especially since the town is dark and the vast majority of lighting comes from a flashlight. Will Harry be able to save his daughter and escape the town in SILENT HILL?

11ヶ月, 1週間 - 『SILENT HILL f』は、竜騎士07が手掛けた圧倒的な物語がありつつも、その真相に至るために必須となる反復的なゲームプレイが、その体験価値を大きく損なっているアンバランスな作品だ。周回を重ねるごとにプレイヤーの認識を覆すという野心的な物語構造と、それを支えきれないゲームデザイン、そしてシリーズの伝統性的なモチーフに対するちぐはぐな距離感が、本作の評価を複雑にしている。しかし、その物語とキャラクターは本物であり、いずれ後世に語り継がれるべき価値を持つことは間違いない。
