Silent Hill. The Secrets of the Foggy City

Silent Hill is an amazing mixture of conflicting feelings: from complete disgust to overwhelming sadness. But this city is also a whole world. It is a theater of torment and sorrow - if you visit it at least once, it will forever haunt your soul.
Damien Meshery and Bruno Provezza dared to look beyond the foggy veil of the mysterious city and tell about the multifaceted nature of each game. Boldly analyzing the hidden depths of the series, they attempted to find the answer to the main question: what lies at the heart of the unique magic of Silent Hill?

The city awaits you to tell:
- How the Silent Hill series, taking inspiration from the gameplay mechanics of Resident Evil, changed the survival horror genre forever.
- What the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silent Hill 2 have in common.
- How the adaptation was created and what Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy has to do with it.
- Why one of the most important sounds in the game is silence.
- What happened to the franchise in the last ten years.

«Silent Hill has been worked on by studios from Japan, the USA, and Britain; both video game developers and filmmakers. What influences and fears did they bring to the foggy city? Meshery and Provezza will help us find common themes and explore one of the most mythologized video game series in their new book.» - Jeronim K., video game researcher, author of the YouTube channel «Trepanning the Narrative» and the Telegram channel «Hypermedia»
