In the run up to the Silent Hill 2 remake\u2019s October 8 release, an ominous website has popped up. Made by creative group Daiyonkyokai<\/a> (The Fourth Boundary) in collaboration with Konami Digital Entertainment, the site for Silent Hill Historical Society offers all kinds of information in both English and Japanese for eager fans and Silent Hill veterans alike- plus some creepy secret pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Silent<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Silent Hill Historical Society\u2019s website looks convincingly like a real-life preservation organization\u2019s website in a sleepy North American town, albeit with a foreboding gray color scheme (but gray\u2019s in fashion, right?). There\u2019s a \u201cMessage from the Director,\u201d information on recent exhibits, maps, timelines and pages on the history of landmarks like Brookhaven Hospital. Recent news announcements show that in the past few months, the society has stopped accepting applications for staff and materials- but I\u2019m sure everything is fine over there- after all, \u201cSilent Hill is renowned as a peaceful resort town<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t wait to encounter the town\u2019s undead residents in Silent Hill 2 remake, why not test your knowledge of the fog-drenched town? The website offers two tests<\/a>– a standard Silent Hill Test and a rather hardcore advanced level quiz.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Silent Hill Historical Society website<\/a> also features a whole bunch of hidden pages. Some of these are cheerful and offer you helpful advice for exploring Silent Hill, others are a little disturbing and hint at the tragic fates that befell members of the Society\u2019s staff. Check it out if you dare!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silent Hill 2<\/a> is scheduled to be released on October 8 on PC (Steam) and PS5. The game\u2019s producer has previously discussed how Bloober Team and the original devs have worked together to bring this psychological horror classic back to life<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
