Patch 1.10 for ‘Silent Hill f’ Adds New “Casual” Action Difficulty
Finding Silent Hill f too tough? Not to worry, as Konami and NeoBards have added a new “Casual” action difficulty setting to the game as part of the 1.10 patch that makes traversing Ebisugaoka a little less arduous. That’s on top of the expected bug fixes, as well as an optional skip feature for select sections of New Game+ and more.
As noted in the update, the Casual action difficulty will be playable when starting a game from “New Game” on the main menu, or from a New Game+ save file. For players who are on the Story action difficulty or higher, the Casual action difficulty will also be available after multiple Game Overs.
Also added is an optional skip feature for certain New Game+ sections, which will allow players to bypass certain areas. The trade-off is that you would not get any of the items that you would collect in these areas if you didn’t skip them, not to mention that you would also miss out on certain achievements/trophies. The skip feature does not impact branching paths or endings.
On top of these new additions, Silent Hill f has also seen tweaks made to existing systems. Hinako will take “slightly less damage” on Hard action difficulty, as well as having her regain stamina quicker than before. Players will also see fewer enemies “across multiple sections.”
And speaking of New Game +, Harrison delved into the mode that adds so much more to an already great experience.
Silent Hill f is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
If you wish to get in on the fun prior to the game’s release, you can sign up for the playtest via the Steam page.
