Sony randomly announced and released this game at their state of play event. Silent Hill has been a genre defining horror IP since the 90s, this game unfortunately does not live up to that level of quality the series once had, that being said, there is value in this game, especially since it's completely free of charge. The story is very dark, revolving around heavy themes of suicide, self-harm/hatred, abuse, and bullying, to the point where the suicide hotline and a warning is posted on the screen multiple times. However is does have a somewhat satisfying ending, the fact that it is short and free really helps make this worth playing, if it were any longer or costed anything more than $5 I could not recommend it. If you have 3 hours and a PlayStation 5, this Short Message from Silent Hill may be worth your time, and get you warmed up for Silent Hill 2 Remake later this year (2024 if anyone in the future is reading).
