Keeping Silent Hill players in the dark

Konami's upcoming
Silent Hill Origins game is surrounded in mystery. Plagued with
troubled development, the title has gone through a
phoenix-like resurrection of sorts, quickly becoming one of the most anticipated titles on the platform yet again. A new interview with Kikizo doesn't reveal anything new, but it does reiterate the focus of the franchise. Oertel explains, "You're going to a town that has multiple shifts in reality with people that have their own kind of dementia. How do you put a realistic spin on that? By it's nature it needs to be somewhat vague." Supposedly, multiple endings will help create a sense of impenetrable mystery.
True to the franchise,
Origins is all about atmosphere and tension. Although the development team is trying to explain even more of the lore, don't expect the answers to be clear:
"We want to take advantage of that opportunity to explain some things - not everything."
While we love being teased, we can't wait to get some more information on Origins. Until then, don't forget to check out our updated gallery.
