Silent Hill: Ascension, a Silent Hill interactive series, premieres tonight with its first episode. It's not a traditional Silent Hill game, but an experience where where audience members decide the fate of the characters in the story. It starts with mystic community leader Rachel Hernandez performing a cult ritual on a new member, Joy Cirelli. Then, players take the wheel after that goes wrong.

All you need is an internet connection and a free Silent Hill: Ascension account to participate in the latest Silent Hill «game.» You can sign up on mobile with the app (see the Genvid website or search online) or on desktop from Ascension.com. It's a free, so you won't need to pay to participate. You can pay for cosmetics that change your appearance in the chat and leaderboards, and even participate in cameo contests to appear in the show, though.

You need a javascript enabled browser to watch videos.
