About Metal Gear
Experience the thrill of tactical espionage action missions, sneaking into hostile environments without being detected by the enemy. This innovative game series was born from the idea of avoiding combat and infiltrating enemy territory undetected, a complete reversal of common action gameplay resulting in the creation of a brand-new game genre: stealth action. The first METAL GEAR game was released in 1987.
About SILENT HILL f
SILENT HILL f is a bold new installment in the iconic horror franchise, set in 1960s Japan. Blending traditional SILENT HILL psychological horror with Japanese folklore, the game introduces a completely original story crafted by acclaimed writer Ryukishi07 (Higurashi, Umineko), brought to life with creature designs by renowned illustrator kera. Players follow high school student Shimizu Hinako through the eerie, fog-covered town of Ebisugaoka, where disturbing transformations and haunting memories unfold.
With music composed by legendary SILENT HILL veteran Akira Yamaoka and celebrated game composer Kensuke Inage, SILENT HILL f delivers a unique soundscape that contrasts its dual worlds of fog and madness. Under the leadership of producer Motoi Okamoto (SILENT HILL 2 Remake), the game marks a fresh and emotionally gripping chapter for the series—one that challenges perceptions of beauty, fear, and the human psyche.
