TheSilent Hillbrand is about to venture into the territory of interactive entertainment. Tonight, Halloween night, Genvid Entertainment and Konami join forces to invite fans and newcomers alike to enter the world ofSilent Hill: Ascension.
What is Silent Hill Ascension?
Ascensionis not a game per se, but rather a web series featuring a completely new story and cast of characters set in the infamous town.
You can just watch the series for free if you’d like, but you — and the rest of the community — can pay to try and directly influence the evolution of the newSilent Hillcanon.
To have influence overAscension, you’ll need IP. That’s short for Influence Points. You can get some IP for free by completing daily puzzles, such as a rhythm game where you play the songs ofSilent Hill,but you naturally stand to earn way more points by paying actual money.
The best way to earn IP is the Founder’s Pack. It costs you $19,99 and includes a season pass that will allow players to unlock all sorts of cosmetics that they can try to get their characters to wear in the series.
Ascensionwill run over the course of 16 weeks, during which the community will get to decide what happens to its characters and to the world ofSilent Hill.
The premiere will be about 45 minutes long. From then on, each night will bring a new episode that will last from 5 to 15 minutes.
People who’ve purchased the Founder’s Pack will get to replay the series with the option to find out different possible outcomes.
