Silent Hill f is set in 1960s Japan, in the fog-covered town of Ebisugaoka, where student Hinako Shimizu fights to survive. It launched on September 25, 2025 and sold over 2 million copies by April 2026. These facts come from Wikipedia and Can I Play That.

Key takeaways

  • Melee only, with light and heavy attacks, dodge and parry.
  • Weapons degrade and break, and you cannot fight unarmed.
  • You manage health, stamina and sanity.
  • Shrines work as save points and let you turn items into Faith.

Shrines and Faith

At shrines you can save, spend Faith to boost stats and craft omamori charms. Stats carry into New Game Plus.

Casual Mode

Patch 1.10 in December 2025 added Casual Mode, which greatly reduces enemy damage. The game suggests it after three deaths on a harder difficulty. It cannot be raised later. The patch also added skippable New Game Plus sections, though you may miss items and some trophies.

Price

The regular Steam price is $69.99. We saw it at 50% off on October 8, 2026.

Specs and reception

On PC you need Windows 11, 16 GB RAM, 50 GB and an SSD. Minimum is a Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600 with a GTX 1070 Ti or RX 5700. Silent Hill f scored Metacritic 86 on PS5 and 85 on PC. IGN criticised the repetitive combat, so Casual Mode may help players who care mostly about the story.
