More than a horror game, Silent Hill is framed here as a kind of shared purgatory—an opaque veil of self-questioning wrapped in an abrasive, strangely comforting fog. The city of Silent Hill is described as magnetic and oppressive, shifting and terrifying: a distorted mirror of our deepest traumas, and a place where guilt, doubt, horror, and madness take shape. Yet beneath the anxiety and nightmare, the issue suggests there’s an unsettling sense of calm.
This volume promises a deep analysis that “dissects the entrails” of one of video gaming’s most terrifying sagas—tracing its many cinematic influences, spotlighting its atmospheric soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka, and examining the city’s nightmarish architecture and the troubled symbolism of its infernal creatures. The issue also revisits cross-culture topics like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the “organic” soundtrack of Rayman Legends, and the opening credits of South Park.
