Originally revealed back in 2022, KONAMI have now properly lifted the lid on SILENT HILL f and graced us with a new trailer. The game developed by NeoBards Entertainment Ltd. with a script from Ryukishi07 who people may know from the likes of Higurashi When They Cry, Umineko When They Cry and Ciconia When They Cry.
Check out the trailer below:

From the Steam page:
In 1960s Japan, Shimizu Hinako's secluded town of Ebisugaoka is consumed by a sudden fog, transforming her home into a haunting nightmare.
As the town falls silent and the fog thickens, Hinako must navigate the twisted paths of Ebisugaoka, solving complex puzzles and confronting grotesque monsters to survive.
Immerse yourself into Hinako's world imagined by renowned author Ryukishi07, with entrancing music, including pieces by Akira Yamaoka, and beautiful visuals in a gripping tale of doubt, regret, and inescapable choices. Will Hinako embrace the beauty hidden within terror, or succumb to the madness that lies ahead?
Discover a new chapter in the SILENT HILL series, blending psychological horror with a haunting Japanese setting.
There's no date for the game yet but a Steam release is confirmed so we'll be able to play it with Valve's Proton. The setting sounds really interesting so I can't wait to play.

on japan there is
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When the Cicadas Cry)
Umineko no Naku Koro ni (When the Seagulls Cry)
Ciconia no Naku Koro ni (When the Storks Cry)
when they relased Higurashi here, the distributor tried to change the name to "when they cry" wich messed the name, i couldnt confirm an name change, but i think they added the "higurashi", "umineko" and "circonia" terms later on on the western version, because it wouldnt make sense to pretend that umineko was an sequel to higurashi (especially because if the author relased an new higurashi it would be impossible to name it ,in fact i remember that this issue occured but couldnt confirm searching for the old names , so maybe my memory is playing tricks on me )
naku also have a double meaning.
anyway, higurashi is an great anime (at least the old seassons, looks like the new ones are trash, at least that is what my friend who recomended the original told me, despite that it was quite popular among people who never saw the original)
i still have to play the games, but for umineko, er... the anime is really crazy, it feels like they skiped the explanation of a lot of things and skiped a lot of things from the games only to end up without an conclusion, its good for those who want to be confused, but playing the game probably is a better option.
