Creators of Silent Hill Gives Peek of His New Horror Game Project!

After the departure of Keiichiro Toyama from SCE Japan Studio towards the end of last year, now the figure who is widely known as the creator behind Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush has been involved in the latest game project with Bokeh Game Studio. The new developer founded by Toyama is also home to several other talents from SCE Japan Studio, where they are fully focused on this latest game project. To give fans a little idea of the concept, recently the developer has released a new set of Concept Art.

It is certain that this game will carry the horror genre as the main focus, but Toyama also wants to implement different elements from most similar games in this genre. So instead of just giving an image of something terrible, he wants this game to make fans always filled with curiosity while playing the game.

Toyama notes that he wants this title to be entertaining as well and mentions “death games” as a source of inspiration

To realize the concept, Toyama and his team also take inspiration from the sub-genre “Death Game”. This is because the game genre can provide a special excitement for a game that puts players in a desperate situation. The story in every game that carries this genre is also always filled with drama, strong emotions from the characters, to evocative action scenes. This is the main source of inspiration for Toyama for his latest horror game.

For those of you who are curious or still unfamiliar with “Death Game”, this is a sub-genre that has become the focus of themes in many popular works. One of the most popular games that carry this genre is the Danganronpa franchise and Zero Escape. As for the manga or film series, one example can also be taken from Alice in Borderland.

For now, unfortunately, there is no additional information about the game. However, Toyama and his team at Bokeh Game Studio are committed to creating a new, truly unique horror game through this project. It will also be very interesting if the game from the creators of Silent Hill can bring a new evolution that has never existed before in the horror genre.
