Ryukishi07’s Silent Hill f Script Is Great, but Konami Can’t Risk Becoming a Creature of Habit

Unlike some other recent entries, *Silent Hill f* offers a genuinely original story – it’s not simply a rehash of familiar themes with a Japanese setting. The game presents a unique and captivating plot that successfully captures the essence of *Silent Hill* without feeling like a copy. It echoes the unsettling atmosphere and character dynamics found in Ryukishi07’s previous work, particularly the anxieties of small-town life and the struggles of young people facing difficult situations. Ryukishi07’s distinct artistic style is central to *Silent Hill f’s* identity and contributes significantly to its artistic merit. Konami should embrace this kind of fresh, creative approach more often in future installments.
