Storyline

The game follows high school student Shimizu Hinako who lives in the rural Japanese town of "Ebisugaoka" during the 1960s. She resents her parents as her mother is subservient to her abusive father, while her older sister Junko has left home after getting married. After an argument with her parents, Hinako meets up with her friends Shu, Rinko, and Sakuko, where Shu gives Hinako red capsules to ease her intense tension headaches. A monster wearing a shiromuku appears, engulfing Ebisugaoka in fog and red spider lilies, which kills Sakuko. Hinako escapes but Ebisugaoka has become overrun by monsters. While avenging Sakuko's death, Hinako loses consciousness and awakens in the Dark Shrine, where she encounters a man called Fox Mask. Despite Fox Mask guiding and caring for her, she is continuously warned by a spirit possessing a doll from her childhood to not trust him. After awakening in the town, which has become almost entirely deserted, Hinako reunites with Shu and Rinko. As the bridge leading out of town is broken, the three plan to escape through a mountain path behind Shu's house. Throughout their journey, Hinako travels back to the Dark Shrine whenever she loses consciousness or sleeps, and continues to follow Fox Mask while there. Fox Mask convinces Hinako to kill Shu, Rinko, and Sakuko to let go of her childhood. She awakens in Ebisugaoka again and eventually reaches Shu's home alone. When her mother calls and asks her to come home, she overhears Shu and Rinko being attacked. When Hinako returns home, she faces multiple memories of her past, including her relationships with her friends and family, as well as her fear of growing up and getting married. In addition, multiple playthroughs of the game reveal that she is in an arranged marriage with Fox Mask's true identity, Kotoyuki from the Tsuneki's clan. Hinako's identities in Ebisugaoka and the Dark Shrine soon converge when her fox self kills her parents as the shiromuku, while her human self seeks revenge. Her fox self seemingly kills her human self under Junko's orders. As Hinako's marriage ceremony begins in the Dark Shrine, her human self awakens and confronts her fox self. Silent Hill f has five…

Gameplay

Silent Hill f strays away from the usual Silent Hill style of gameplay by completely eschewing firearms and gunplay for a soulslike-inspired melee combat system based around dodging and parrying, inflicting light or heavy attacks, and a weapon degradation mechanic first featured in Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill: Downpour, where weapons can break with prolonged use. Unlike the aforementioned games, Hinako cannot engage in hand-to-hand combat and must evade the monsters if she does not have a weapon. Hinako is the first playable character since Henry Townshend of Silent Hill 4: The Room to carry neither a flashlight nor an early warning device to aid in detecting monsters. The game features RPG elements in the form of a three-tier health system that tracks Hinako's health, stamina, and sanity. The former two are drained during combat, while the latter is additionally affected through exploration and puzzle-solving. All can be restored through consumable items—some of which affect the course of the narrative if consumed—or by praying at shrines, which serve as save points and offer the opportunity to convert the different items and consumables in Hinako's inventory into Faith, which either serves as experience points to upgrade Hinako's stats or is consumed to create omamori that grant her randomized boons, both of which can be carried over to subsequent playthroughs via a New Game Plus mode.
