Silent Hill: The Short Message Available to Download Now on PS5

Fear will take you

by Liam Croft 6d ago

Silent Hill: The Short Message was announced for PS5 just over an hour ago, and now the free game is available to download now. Your best bet is to search for it on the PS Store, and it should appear. It's a 12.15GB install, so you won't have to wait too long to start playing.

The game is said to be powered by "the latest in game technology" as it sees protagonist Anita in a crumbling apartment infamous for suicides. "Drawn inside, Anita soon finds her sense of reality shattered as she encounters bizarre, otherworldly spaces and twisted monsters. Maya's message was clear — "can't leave til you find it" — but what is it that Anita is really looking for?" We'll bring you a PS5 review as soon as possible.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

@Colour Yeah I just finished it as well. Im glad it was free because it really felt I could be playing a better game that deals with sensitive topics of suicide. At least it isnt like Medium with its ending though lol.

@Nepp67 They just took a very heavy topic and made b roll cheese out of it. Hopefully Konami will continue to outsource this stuff, no more of this with the SH name in it please lol

@Colour Yeah you hit the head on the nail there with b roll cheese lol. It didn't help that the character just wouldn't stop talking. The only thing I can say positive about it is that the monster design is great(And no surprise coming from thay since it was made by Masahiro himself) and the final area of the game.

I made it about 15 minutes and deleted. It’s not good. I didn’t think the SH2 showing was very good either.

Just beat it. I liked it.

I just started but the performance while playing on my LG C2 is messing with my mind and making me sick literally. All the the blurring, the lagging/input lag. I may have to move my PS5 to my other tv to play it. Odd also not having any trophies for anything not considered a demo lol.
