finally got to play it for myself!
i think the game is a little too ahead of the times, but by that i mean it's not for the age demographic of seasoned silent hill fans. it's for young gen x or older gen alpha & i don't think they'll (should) play it yet.
it's also goes a little too hard with imagery of self harm scars & a razor, & really hammers in the bullying with cringe-like middle school anti-bullying videos.
but, it's still a good game. it really shouldn't be tied to silent hill, & i think if it wasn't it would be better recognized. i still teared up at a few parts. i love the art that maya does & i love the ending scene with the papers flying away. this will be great for younger generations that had their middle/high school ruined by covid lock down, & ones that really care a lot about social media. for us old sh-heads it seems cringe but it's a really nice game.
