Resident Evil meets Silent Hill in grimly photorealistic Unreal Engine 5 horror

There’s a trend creeping into newer horror games and it attempts to remove the traditional style we’re so used to, whether that be in first or third-person. It’s not all gorgeous graphics and instead takes a lo-fi approach focusing on found footage to set players on edge.

We’ll be getting a lot more Silent Hill over the coming months with the remake fo Silent Hill 2 and more

Silent Breathis pitching itself as an evolving horror with plenty of replayability. While the premise sounds simple enough - a spooky forest, people disappearing, and a crumbling grip on sanity - the features of the game make it sound like something entirely unique.

Perhaps the highlight ofSilent Breathis its use of a microphone that detects your reaction to what’s happening in-game. If you don’t stay silent while playing, the creatures will detect you and pounce. So, for heaven’s sake, don’t scream. With shades of bothResident Evil, in its first-person approach, andSilent Hill, in its grotesque enemy design, Silent Breath is shaping up to be a huge horror hit. I for one will be watching this closely.

Silent Breathwill be entering Steam early access soon - there’s no solid date, but theSteampage does feature updates and plans for future content, so keep an eye on the game there.
