Silent Hill is a 1999 survival horror game developed by Team Silent, a group within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and published by Konami. As the first installment in the Silent_Hill video game series, the game was released exclusively for the PlayStation. Silent Hill uses a third-person view with real-time rendering of 3D environments. To mitigate the limitations of the console hardware, developers used fog and darkness to obscure the graphics and hide pop-ins, which, in turn, helped establish the game's atmosphere and mystery. Unlike earlier survival horror games that focused on protagonists with combat training, the player character of Silent Hill is an "everyman".
