The upcoming game Silent Hill F was initially envisioned to be set in the real-life location of Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, which interestingly translates to “Quiet Hill” or “Silent Hill.” However, the game’s writer, Ryukishi07, soon discovered that the imposing presence of Mount Fuji, located in the same area, would overshadow the eerie atmosphere essential for a Silent Hill experience. This insight reveals the delicate balance game developers must maintain between real-world settings and the immersive environments needed for storytelling.
