Recently, the resurgence of Silent Hill has drawn attention to new horror games like Cronos: The New Dawn and established franchises like Alien: Isolation. Konami's survival/psychological horror series Silent Hill, long considered "dead," has left an undeniable impact over the past 27 years. Now, this legacy continues with a new horror game called Silver Pines.

According to its page on Steam, Silver Pines is described as a survival horror game. However, what makes it unique is that it is a side-scrolling game in the 2.5D Metroidvania style. The game offers an impressive presentation with a noir and watercolor expressionist art style, and it will officially launch this fall. It is sure to be the perfect Halloween game for horror enthusiasts.

Silver Pines encompasses all the elements that survival horror games offer. It provides an immersive experience with resource management, environmental puzzles, and a dark, nightmarish narrative. Additionally, like Alan Wake’s Bright Falls or Silent Hill itself, developer Wych Elm follows the popular naming tradition of Twin Peaks with the name Silver Pines.

The game will be released on October 8, a date that keeps it away from other games trying to launch before Grand Theft Auto 6. However, this means it coincides with the release of a major horror game like Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. Furthermore, Silver Pines has released a demo for Steam Next Fest 2026, which offers an experience that players can complete in over two hours.
