Ratings board reveals new details on the unannounced Silent Hill: The Short Message

Fresh details about a previously leaked but unannounced Silent Hill game have emerged via the Australian Classification Board (ACB).
Last September, South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee classified Silent Hill: The Short Message, although further information about the project wasn’t confirmed.
Now, the ACB has revealed a host of new details about the game in its annual report, which was published on Monday.
According to the ratings board, Silent Hill: The Short Message is an “exploration‑based psychological horror game” that includes depictions of suicide and self‑harm. Its full text on the game, which includes some plot spoilers, has been republished in full below.
Following several leaks and plenty of speculation, Silent Hill publisher Konami officially revealed plans to revive the long-dormant horror series last October, when it announced that brand-new games were in the works alongside a Silent Hill 2 remake from developer Bloober Team.
The new games included Silent Hill Townfall, which is in development at Scottish studio NoCode and will be published by Annapurna Interactive), and Silent Hill F (pictured above), a “completely new story set in 1960s Japan featuring a beautiful, yet horrifying world”.
Silent Hill: The Short Message wasn’t one of the new games announced, but some of the details included in the ACB’s annual report match those included in another leak from May 2022.
Specifically, the ACB’s report mentions two characters, Maya and Anita, who were first referenced by reputable insider Dusk Golem, when they also published images supposedly taken from the game that were quickly removed in a copyright claim.
The images showed a messy room, a red corridor with notes covering the wall and a figure standing at the end, and a woman’s face that has been partially unpeeled with messages like ‘I hate myself’ and ‘minger’ exposed underneath her skin.

After Konami announced plans to revive the series last year, Dusk Golem claimed “Silent Hill: The Short Message is not Silent Hill f but is connected to SHf, though I think most should’ve guessed that because they both have strong flower motifs going on. Short Message is sorta’ stand-alone, sorta’ a precursor”.
In response to the ACB’s report, Dusk Golem wrote today on Resetera: “For the record, that bit doesn’t actually spoil all of the Short Message, It spoils maybe like the first third or fourth of it. Without saying too much, the description here entirely describes events from the first section of Short Message of 3 sections in the game.”

Silent Hill 2 Remake Devs Explain Why They Are Not Updating Fans
Silent Hill fans have waited for what felt like an eternity for Konami to return the franchise. When Hideo Kojima unveiled that he would revive the IP with Silent Hills, things looked up. However, abruptly, the famed developer parted ways with Konami, and thus, the game project was canceled. Since then, it has been back in waiting, but fortunately, last year, we finally got the grand revival announcement. Konami was going to bring back Silent Hill in a big way with several game projects and even a new movie installment. One of those game projects in the works was a remake of Silent Hill 2.
