Silent Evil sounds like something you might produce after a day eating nothing but baked beans, but it’s also a good nickname for this game. A love letter to old-school Resident Evil and Silent Hill written in blood, it borrows freely from the early days of those well-loved and influential series while still walking its own twisted path – both for better and for worse.
By exploring the environment at the beginning of the game, we discover that we are some sort of android and the captain of our crashed ship has gone missing, so more complicated than that, something that gradually becomes apparent through both conveniently dropped notes and the handful of anime-styled cutscenes.
