This was so fucking bad in every regard that I spent its runtime successfully dissociating it from Silent Hill as a concept. "Sure, Ito and Yamaoka are here, but they're hired guns nowadays anyways," I said. It plays like a terrible itch.io or Steam shovelware game, and its mix of incredibly detailed environmental assets (so much unique graffiti!) and horrifically rigged main character model whose hair is clipping through her glasses in every single cutscene in the game gives it a certain Unreal Marketplace Slop atmosphere like those as well. The inciting incident of the plot defeats its own themes and the themes of witches, generational trauma, neglect, and incidents from seven years in the past having unintended consequences make it clear this was written by a guy who wants to be Ryukishi but isn't Him. All of these are so comically bad and dumb that I was able to laugh this off, until the credits song was actually good. The guitars played the Silent Hill riff, and I had to deal with the fact that this is the future of the series. This is what I have to look forward to. I sank into the couch and have not been able to escape.
