Silent Hill f won’t officially launch until tomorrow, September 25, but PC users with early access have already released a handful of mods for the game. One of the mods even removes the franchise’s signature fog from the Japanese town of Ebisugaoka. And suddenly it’s a much nicer day for high school student Hinako Shimizu, at least until something tries to kill her.

As demonstrated in the post above, the game isn’t quite as intimidating if you can see everything clearly. Last year’s Silent Hill 2 remake also had a mod that got rid of the fog. Some of the other notable mods for Silent Hill f include hardware-based ray tracing, the removal of the HUD, and some optimization tweaks for the game’s engine.
Silent Hill f is a departure for the series and the first game in the franchise to be set in Japan. The story takes place in the ’60s and follows Hinako as she tries to understand why her town has seemingly been swallowed in endless fog and populated by horrific creatures. GameSpot’s review for Silent Hill f gave it a 9 out of 10.

Absolutely, the dedication is impressive! Modding can really enhance or alter the game’s atmosphere, offering players a unique experience. It’s fascinating to think about how this can impact the overall horror elements that Silent Hill is known for.
