Titles similar to Silent Hill
| Mainly silent hill 2 over silent hill 1 or 3, but those that are similar to one of those 3
| I mean, you could give the older Resident Evil games a shot. While it doesn't have the exact same aesthetic, I'd call the two series kind of similar.
It's old school survival horror, and while the dialogue is incredibly cheesy, the lore is good, creepy, and genuinely interesting.
All the games from the first one up to RE4 have are like that. 1, 2 and Code Veronica may be more up your alley though.
5 and 6 are pure action, and 7 is not like SH at all. 7 is really good too though.
| If you're looking for book recommendations, I would honestly recommend any manga by Junji Ito. He is a fantastic horror manga artist with quite a few publisher works. Silent Hill is my favorite video game franchise of all time, and Itos works are my favorite manga franchise of all time. If you like manga, I'd recommend giving his works a shot. My personal favorites are the Tomie series and the Uzumaki series. But most of his short stories are great too.

| Also have to throw out this little bit. Ito Junji was one of the artists that was working with Konami before they canceled the Silent Hills game. Don't know if that helps or not about Ito, but I was so excited to hear that my favorite horror artist would be working on my favorite game series.

| Umm. Rule of rose? Didn't reqd thread tho
| Oh yeah. Forgot about books. You should definitely check out Ito Junji like jelly said. I also recommend the work of Cassandra Khaw. Her writing is incredible. Start with Hammer of Bones if you wanna check her out.
| For Resident Evil, I've done thr mainline 0-7 already, as for Ito Junji, sure I'll check it out
| For books Jacob's Ladder was a strong influence for Silent Hill 2.
| The Siren series of games.
| RE Revelations 1&2 were pretty good. Much more like the old ines than 5 or 6 were.
| >>408898 I didn't know there was a book! But I loved the movie! I'll have to check that out myself

| I really like Silent Hill, considering it as the best series in the horror genre, so any books/games that are similar or as interesting? I'm open to new titles.
