Silent Hill is a 1999 survival horror game developed by Team Silent, a group in Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo and published by Konami.
The first installment in the video game series Silent Hill, the game was released exclusively for the PlayStation.
Silent Hill uses a third-person view, with real-time rendering of 3D environments.
To mitigate limitations of the console hardware, developers used fog and darkness to muddle the graphics and the pop-ins, which in return helped set up the atmosphere and mystery of the game.
Unlike earlier survival horror games that focused on protagonists with combat training, the player character of Silent Hill is an "everyman" - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_(video_game))
