Above all else, devoted aficionados of hardcore horror are eager for the upcoming release of Silent Hill f, largely due to the participation of Ryukishi07, one of Japan’s most renowned horror authors. Identifying himself as a long-term enthusiast of the Silent Hill series, Ryukishi07 is celebrated for his distinctive and emotionally resonant writing style. Although not a blood relative to the writing style of Silent Hill, it is certainly a close kin. The author’s most notable work is the When They Cry series, a visual novel franchise that Ryukishi07 single-handedly developed after growing disenchanted with his role as a Japanese government official. For those yearning for a glimpse of what they may encounter in Silent Hill f, the When They Cry series is essential reading, not merely as a precursor to Ryukishi07’s abilities but also because it’s an exceptional example of horror literature.
