Silent Hill f producer insists it is "an action horror game" and any comparisons to a soulslike are "disingenuous"
Game Reviews

Silent Hill f has a hidden Easter egg that calls back to one of the most iconic horror game themes of all time

by admin October 8, 2025


It turns out there is a lovely little Silent Hill 1 Easter egg hidden within Silent Hill f that the musically inclined have discovered.

Found within the school in Silent Hill f, posted on a cork board, is some sheet music. It turns out this sheet music is the old SIlent Hill 1 theme. It’s a nice callback in a game that largely stays away from obvious ties to the original series, save for some smaller references here and there.

You can see the Easter egg figured out by streamer Frankielollia, who spotted the sheet music and had one of their viewers play it on guitar, before comparing it directly with the original theme. That classic Silent Hill theme remains one of the most iconic horror game themes of all time, and is well-deserving of a callback.

Silent Hill f is proving exceptionally popular so far, with the game selling at a faster rate than the Silent Hill 2 Remake. The first totally new, non-remake, entry into the series since Silent Hill: Downpour in 2012 (that is, if you don’t count P.T), SIlent Hill f has proven a grand return to form for the long-dormant spooky game series.

In Eurogamer’s Silent Hill f review, writer Vikki Blake wrote: “Silent Hill f’s frustrating first-half is outweighed by a brilliant, delirious second that’s well worth the initial slog.”

Valve no longer permits games with “mature themes” to release in early access

by admin September 15, 2025


Valve reportedly no longer permits games with “mature themes” to be released in early access.

As detailed by Dammitbird and reported by GamesMarkt, adult game Heavy Hearts failed Valve’s review last month “because [Valve is] unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes.” The developer was invited to resubmit the game for approval when it was “ready to launch without Early Access.”

Though Valve did not expand on why games with mature themes have been quietly removed from the Early Access process — and it remains unclear what, precisely, is meant by “mature themes” — it’s thought this is just the latest in a long line of changes from digital storefronts like Steam and itch.io following pressure by its payment processors and conservative activitists to moderate adult content on their sites.

“Due to current events, I panicked and contacted my publisher to help me get on Steam Early Access,” the developer told GamesMarkt. “The general rule is that your game should be about 65% done before doing EA. Well, we are about 70% done so the time was right anyway. But now, all of a sudden and without a policy announcement, the rules have changed and now I can’t join Steam EA.

“Heavy Hearts is still available on itch, but you’ll never be able to search it, because it is de-indexed.

“It’s hard to promote your game on platforms like X because they deboost any mention of Patreon or other socials. Since Patreon used to be the king of de-listing kinky adult games, I never put much stock in it. Now it’s basically all I have, and I still have the risk of getting deplatformed from it.”

GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to Valve for clarification and will update as/when we receive a response.

Itch.io “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from its browse and search pages back in July after an open letter from conservative campaign group Collective Shout called for a stop to “payment processors profiting from rape, incest and child abuse games on Steam,” targeting the CEOs of PayPal, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and Japan Credit Bureau (JCB).
