Silent Hill (サイレントヒル, Sairento Hiru?) is a survival horror video game franchise developed and published by Konami. As of 2008, most installments have been created by Team Silent with the exception of two titles, Silent Hill: Origins by Climax Studios and Silent Hill: Homecoming by Double Helix games.
There are currently five main Silent Hill games (with a sixth under production), all of which were released to strong sales and critical acclaim.[citation needed] The success of these games has generated a series of comic books, a film adaptation (with a second under development), and novelizations.
Common features in the Silent Hill games include horror and action-adventure elements, detailed and disturbing environments, a chilling soundtrack provided by series composer Akira Yamaoka, and a complex storyline revealed through numerous cinematic cut scenes, in-game documents and in-game notes. Each game unfolds like a movie with several possible endings; the player’s choices during the game determine which ending is shown.
