Silent Hill: Homecoming marks the return of the series that
has become one of the leading horror franchises in
the world, launching a number of hit entertainment
products, including a successful and acclaimed
motion picture. The game follows Alex Shepherd, a
war veteran returning home from an overseas tour of
duty to investigate the mysterious disappearance of
his younger brother, Joshua. His travels will lead
him through the small, insular community of
Shepherd’s Glen and eventually through the
hauntingly empty streets of Silent Hill.
Building upon the series’ trademark foundations of
atmosphere, adventure and storytelling,
Silent Hill: Homecoming introduces players to a frightening new
experience. When confronted by the perverse
incarnations of evil that roam Silent Hill and
Shepherd’s Glen, players will be able to utilize an
enhanced combat system and execute a number of
offensive and defensive maneuvers as they experience
every terrifying encounter with the game’s numerous
nightmarish creatures. Players will also have to
solve a variety of puzzles as they progress through
the highly atmospheric game world, using cues from
the environment to unlock Silent Hill’s darkest
secrets. Continuing the series’ tradition of
standout music and sound design, Silent Hill:
Homecoming
features an original soundtrack by famed composer
Akira Yamaoka. |
