CEO Chen, Can You Speak Plainly?

Besides the original story of "Silent Hill," many players were also studying the game's deeper layers.

As more and more of the game's content was revealed,

players discovered that its depth far exceeded what they had imagined.

It also contained plenty of material involving religion, occultism, and psychology.

A great horror game often stopped feeling scary after people cleared it.

Many players who had completed "Silent Hill" called it the best horror game they had ever played.

"Silent Hill" might not have looked like the scariest horror game, but it was the most suffocating one.

Its music, story, and atmosphere made many players marvel. This was what a truly top-tier horror game looked like.

From beginning to end, "Silent Hill" had never used Jump Scare elements.

Door scares, turning-around scares, a ghostly face suddenly popping up—none of those tricks existed in "Silent Hill."

There was even a radio in the game that emitted static whenever monsters were nearby, warning players of what they were about to encounter.

After all, startling players was actually a very easy, simple thing to do.

For example, you could set up a plot point that made players focus on something, then reveal a terrifying ghostly face at the end.

That would absolutely catch 90% of players off guard.

But that kind of design had no technical merit whatsoever.

Forget horror game designers—even a player who had played a fair number of horror games could come up with countless scare sequences like that.

That was why so many players were amazed that "Silent Hill" never used those sudden scare sequences, instead using thick fog, environments, and sound effects to create such an unbearably oppressive atmosphere.

Of course, no matter how clever its design was, how impressive its content and depth were, or how much artistic value
