Unlike other games in the *Silent Hill* series, *Silent Hill f* isn’t set in the familiar town of Silent Hill. Instead, it takes place in 1960s Japan, in a town called Ebisugaoka. This change led many to wonder if it could still be considered a true *Silent Hill* game. While that’s a fair question, I believe *Silent Hill* is about more than just where the story happens. What truly defines it are the story, the deeper meanings, the music, and the overall feeling of dread. Focusing only on the location misses what makes the series special. Once you play *Silent Hill f*, it’s clear that it captures the tone and themes that define *Silent Hill*.
