Yep, Silent Hill f Is Definitely a Ryukishi07 Story

Let me state upfront: I really enjoyed playing Higurashi When They Cry, and it significantly boosted my excitement for Silent Hill f. Of course, this new installment in the Silent Hill series shouldn’t have simply copied Ryukishi07’s previous work, but the fact that it’s set in Japan and features a teenage cast immediately draws comparisons to Higurashi. Having spent many hours with Silent Hill f, I’ve realized it shares much more with Ryukishi07’s earlier games than just those surface-level similarities. While some might see it as borrowing heavily from something like Higurashi, another way to look at it is that it builds upon the same core concepts, just within a different game universe.
