Unannounced game Silent Hill: The Short Message rated in Korea

A new rating from the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has appeared for Silent Hill: The Short Message.

Spotted by Gematsu, the game is published by UNIANA, which publishes many of Konami’s games in South Korea. However, platforms were not specified in the rating. Silent Hill: The Short Message was included in a group of ratings that also contains the free-to-play game eFootball 2023, published by UNIANA.

UNIANA looks to be highly invested in the arcade gaming space, so there’s a chance that Silent Hill: The Short Message could be simply that and not a full-scale production of a new AAA Silent Hill game.

There have been many leaks of potential future Silent Hill games, but no official announcements yet. One such rumor is that The Medium developer Bloober Team is working on a Silent Hill game.

Another leak that occurred recently is of a Silent Hill 2 remake in lieu of something that looks like the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. Additionally, there’s a leaked “playable concept” called Sakura, but it’s unknown whether this is a demo teaser like P.T. was.

Konami has largely been out of the console and PC gaming space for several years at this point. The company’s biggest franchises like Metal Gear and Castlevania have sat dormant. However, Konami has still been publishing smaller games every now and again, including the deductive game Crimesight and the sidescrolling hack and slash game Getsu Fuma Den: Undying Moon.

Most recently, Konami announced remasters of the first two Suikoden games at the Tokyo Game Show.

This must-try new horror game is the creepy love child of Silent Hill and Killer7
Michelle holds a handgun in Sorry We're Closed.

This year has been a bit of a renaissance for retro horror games. Not only have we gotten a killer blast from the past thanks to Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake but the indie scene has returned to the era of lo-fi horror in a big way. Games like Crow Country and Fear the Spotlight have brought us back to the days of fixed cameras and blocky heroes. Now you can add another great throwback to the list of 2024 alt-horror greats: Sorry We’re Closed.

A debut title from à la Mode Games, Sorry We’re Closed is both familiar and unlike anything I’ve really played. On its surface, it’s another ode to Silent Hill with some light puzzling and tight resource management. Below those clear inspirations, though, is one of the year’s most stylish and inventive games, one that’s not easily classifiable by genre. If you think that there’s no uncharted territory left for retro horror to explore, think again.
Neon-soaked horror
If you were jumping into Sorry We’re Closed blind, you might not realize that it’s a horror game at all in its opening moment. The most immediate red herring is its striking, neon-soaked art style that looks like a cross between Killer7 and Neon White. Even beyond that, the story opens up with a bickering couple and our hero, Michelle, working a shift as a despondent convenience store cashier. It all looks like a mundane slice-of-life story … until Michelle goes to sleep and meets a paralysis demon that places a curse on her. That kicks off a twisted -- and at times convoluted -- tale as Michelle works with angels and demons to both break free from her curse and fix her struggling relationship.

Silent Hill 2 remake players just discovered a huge secret
James Sunderland staring off to the side in Silent Hill 2.

One of the most confounding additions to the Silent Hill 2 remake are the Polaroid photos you find throughout the game. They're abstract, often depicting blurry close-ups of things like flowers, footprints, dirty walls, and other hard to dentify objects. They work as a collectible, but the game doesn't offer an explanation. However, one Reddit user seems to have cracked the code. Not only do they feature a secret message, but it seems to confirm a longtime fan theory about the nature of Silent Hill and protagonist James Sunderland's story.

A post on the Silent Hill subreddit by user DaleRobinson breaks down the actual code hidden across each photo. If you look at the numbers on the back of each photo and line them up in numerical order, you'll spot a pattern. Each photo has up to six subjects. If you count the letters based on the number of objects, record a letter. Go through all 26 and it'll spell out a message: "You've been here for two decades."

After Silent Hill 2, try its spiritual successor on PS Plus this Halloween

The original Silent Hill games felt like lightning in a bottle. Team Silent was a ragtag group of developers within Konami who were looking to create something different in the horror space. While the entire team would be disbanded by Konami after the fourth entry, the director of the original Silent Hill, Keiichiro Toyama, departed the team on his own accord right after its initial release to form his own team under Japan Studio. Called Project Siren, his next project wouldn't become a household name on the level of Silent Hill, but Siren has become something of a cult classic in the decades since its release. It even earned itself a cameo in Astro Bot, which may have been a tricky one to identify for most.

With interest in Silent Hill reinvigorated thanks to the impressive Silent Hill 2 remake and Siren being added to the Classics collection on PS5 -- and with Halloween right around the corner -- this is the perfect game to scratch that psychological horror itch. Whereas Silent Hill games feel more like refinements in a core concept through different characters' perspectives, Siren attempts to expound upon horror in a grander way while still giving that distinct Silent Hill flavor. Just like the original games, however, it isn't without a few warts.
Nonlinear horror
Siren eschews the traditional format of linear horror games and instead divides itself up into 10 distinct, interconnected parts. Rather than playing as a single protagonist, you will control 10 different characters over the course of a 72-hour period, each of whom has their own objectives and motivations for coming to the haunted town of Hanuda.
