If we're two peas in a pod, then Silent Hill f is one zippy blend of salt and balsamic, according to writer Ryukishi07. He compares the combination of horror genres in the upcoming Konami game – the publisher's first main Silent Hill installment since 2012 – to salad dressing.
First reported by Famitsu and recently translated by Automaton, Ryukishi07 took the opportunity to discuss his approach to writing Silent Hill f earlier this month at Anime Expo 2025 in LA. He explains that he thought of Silent Hill f differently than his visual novels, like the cult-favorite When They Cry series, in which he packs complex histories into each character like they're empty suitcases. Instead, for Silent Hill f, Ryukishi07 built his characters around a central story theme – I guess that part's like the salad itself.
