"Silent Hill F" is based on the design of Kaneyama Town, Shimoro City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and focuses on the design of the times. This is actually a very interesting detail.Choosing a real location as inspiration will not only make the game's world view more well-founded, but also narrow the distance between players and the story through delicate restoration.

In particular, the "Silent Hill" series has always been good at creating a depressing and weird atmosphere, and integrating the true style of Japanese local towns into it may give players a sense of immersion that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Incorporating historical or cultural elements of Kansama Town into the game—such as local natural landscapes, folklore, and even Showa-era atmospheres, can be key clues to trigger the horror experience.
