Silent Hill: Downpour is the eighth installment of the series of survival-horror action games released by Konami. The Slovak studio Vatra Games is responsible for the development of the title. Players play the role of Murphy Pendleton, a prisoner who manages to escape from the convoy and hide in the infamous town of Silent Hill. The game combines elements of action (fight against nightmarish monsters) with logical riddles.

Murphy Pendleton has been incarcerated for several years, having had his sentence extended once already. Due to his history at Ryall State Prison, he is being transferred to nearby Wayside Maximum Security Penitentiary-but a freak accident cuts the journey short. Waking up in a forest next to the wrecked bus, Murphy has a clear shot at freedom. He makes his way into the sleepy town of Silent Hill where mysterious locals welcome him into a slowly developing personal hell.

Silent Hill Downpour is the latest Silent Hill game offering the familiar Survival Horror gameplay delivered in the most defined visual quality to date. The game also expands on the exploration theme of the franchise both design-wise and through psychological torture, ambient story, horrific enemies and self-evaluative questions of despair.
