I'm very cautious when making recommendations for games since I know people's reasoning for liking a singular thing will vary depending on their background information that they've accumulated surrounding said thing. For me it's always been a mostly vibe thing that renders me pretty lenient as long as it's execution is what I could reasonably consider tasteful by my own metrics.

If you wish to discover more games in the same vein then perhaps you could turn to the YouTube video maker Silent Archives's "I Played Every Modern Silent Hill Clone". (It's not every, but I digress.)

Alternatively you could check out my collection here on itch.io which attempts to group together the finds tied to this site: https://itch.io/c/1698513/silent-hill-likes

But judging from your previously liked titles I wager the vast majority of games will not make the cut in the end which is fair enough too.

I've seen that video but there were some games on that list I haven't check out, thanks! I think the problem for me is two-fold. There are a decent number of promising titles but they're mostly demos or short proof of concept games. There are also not as many which fully commit to being a Silent HIll clone, often they copy the aesthetic but try to do their own thing, which is fine, but I'd really like some more good Silent Hill.

I understand Zilpe. Look on the bright side. The "spirit" or "essence" of SH gets to variably live on throughout horror games. That isn't something many horror franchises get to say for themselves and I think we can find at least some solace and sense of satisfaction in that fact if for nothing else.

Hope you find something eventually that scratches that itch!
