Silent Hill: Ascension is a new interactive streaming series where the entire community shapes the canon of Silent Hill in an all-new story, live on multiple platforms. The series will expand the Silent Hill universe, explore intergenerational trauma, and give the fans the power to impact Silent Hill canon forever. The series follows multiple main characters from locations around the world as they confront the horrors that they have unleashed in their communities.

The series will be streamed only once, and the audience's choices regarding the character fates, relationships, and events in the branching narrative will be solidified as canonical. Every day you'll find different story moments, decisions and puzzles. Each decision impacts story coming up, and the ability to input into that decision may last a day or a couple days, and you have up until the moment the engine locks in the story thread to participate. After story lock, you can watch the outcome live with the rest of the community, or if you're busy or asleep, it's available in the archive. You can watch the story moments any time after they have aired. The alternate content for decisions that the audience did not choose will also be available in some form.

Audiences will be taken to a troubled rust-belt town in Pennsylvania called Hope’s Junction, rebuilding itself after a fatal steel mill accident decimated its economy. Another death shakes the community, and Rachel Hernandez is held responsible. Halfway around the world, in a dying fishing village in Norway named Stilledalen, the uneasy peace of the Johansen family is upended when their matriarch, Ingrid, dies under suspicious circumstances.

As members of both families delve deeper into their own horrors, and their towns are simultaneously consumed by mass hysteria, these two families will uncover strange connections between them despite being a world apart.

The experimental project is created by Genvid (broadcasting software company), Bad Robot Games (gaming arm of JJ Abrams' production company) and Behaviour Interactive (Dead by Daylight creator).

Features:

  • An extensive ensemble of intricately developed, new characters, monsters and locations in the Silent Hill universe
  • A fresh, unnerving narrative using Genvid's real time interactive system that enables millions of people to help characters survive and change those characters' fates
  • High-fidelity visuals streaming across devices
  • Daily can't-miss live story moments where each day is different than the last based on audience actions.
