Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto shared that the core concept behind Silent Hill f is to "find the beauty in terror." While maintaining the psychological horror that defines the series, the team embraced the challenge of setting the game in Japan, exploring themes unique to Japanese horror. Okamoto noted, "Japanese horror often intertwines beauty with terror; when something is too perfect, it becomes unsettling. Players will see this world through the eyes of a young girl faced with a beautiful yet terrifying decision."

Silent Hill f Is A Completely Independent Story

Okamoto emphasized that Silent Hill f offers a standalone story, welcoming both new players and long-time fans. The game includes Easter eggs for dedicated fans and appeals to followers of its writer, Ryukishi07, known for his psychological horror visual novels. Ryukishi07, a fan of the Silent Hill series, described the game as a blend of returning to the franchise's roots while pushing new boundaries. He expressed curiosity about how fans would perceive this departure from the series' traditional setting, saying, "From a creator’s standpoint, I believe we've crafted a true Silent Hill experience. We're eager to see if fans agree."
