On March 4th, 1999, a chilling fog descended upon the gaming world with the release of the first Silent Hill.  26 years later, the game's legacy of psychological horror remains potent and influential.

Considered a pioneering work in the survival horror genre, Silent Hill distinguishes itself through its atmospheric dread and complex narrative.  Even after 26 years, it maintains a unique and cherished place in the hearts of gamers.

Developed by Konami's Team Silent, led by Keiichiro Toyama and writer Hiroyuki Owaku, the game introduced players to the unsettling and unforgettable town of Silent Hill.

Akira Yamaoka's masterful sound design and music are integral to the game's terrifying atmosphere.  Considered some of the best horror game music ever created, the score amplifies the unsettling experience, from sudden, startling sounds in the eerie quiet to the deeply unsettling background melodies. These elements combined to forge the unforgettable and disturbing experience that is Silent Hill.
