"No, get away!" Silent Hill f's protagonist Hinako screams in terror as a flower-crowned monster sets upon her. A nimble dodge to the side, and she's safely out of harm's way – just as another hidden foe lopes out from the shadows and slashes Hinako's side, carving a chunk out of my newly replenished health bar and causing her to shriek yet again.
Hinako is very vocal about the horrors she's facing in the new Silent Hill game. Weeping is a common occurrence for her, whether mid-combat or with a mouthful of sacred water-turned-lava as in one of the many cutscenes. But in short bursts, she also has the (intermittent) bravery and sharp reflexes of a far more skilled action hero. Courtesy of Soulslike-tinged combat system, developer Neobards says these power flashes reflect her adrenaline-fuelled desperation.
