Silent Hill f - PC

The game's primary setting, the town of Ebisugaoka, was inspired by Kanayama, Gero, in Gifu Prefecture. Ryukishi07 suggested Kanayama after comparing various locations, saying that its "extremely unique townscape" reflected the passage of time and the way its structures had evolved alongside residents' lifestyles. The team visited Kanayama to photograph modern sites and used reference materials to authentically recreate the 1960s setting. Ryukishi07 noted that female characters in the previous Silent Hill games endured significant suffering. With Silent Hill f, he sought to create a protagonist, Hinako Shimizu, who actively makes her own choices rather than being "pulled along by the story". Hinako is portrayed by Konatsu Kato in Japanese and Suzie Yeungin English.
