The Unreleased Title That Haunts the Video Game Industry

TRACKLIST, ETC. BELOW⬇️ the games industry is haunted by a game about ghosts. eight years ago, konami announced Silent Hills, and then canceled it a few months later. they didn't touch the Silent Hill franchise for another eight years—until recently, that is. in the interim, though, pretty much everyone else in horror games has picked up where konami left off, salvaging the few fragments of Silent Hills that they had seen. Silent Hills is the unreleased game that inspired everything after it. thanks to The Soothing Cream for the use of their music! 🎵their bandcamp: https://thesoothingcream.bandcamp.com/ 🎵their soundcloud:   / the-soothing-cream   📷their insta:   / thesoothingcream   ▶my twitter:   / sorenisimo   ▶my bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sorbino.bsky... ▶check out my other video essays:    • video essays   🎧TRACKLIST (in order of appearance) Alone in the Town - Akira Yamaoka White Noiz - Akira Yamaoka Keke Is Party - Arvi Teikari Ward - C418 World of Madness - Akira Yamaoka Schoolyard Strangler - scntfc Fermata in Mistic Air - Akira Yamaoka Saferoom - Resident Evil 7 plate skies - The Soothing Cream TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - intro 2:46 - the game 8:14 - the revenant 16:46 - the martyr 20:49 - the idea 27:47 - conclusion
