Silent Hill F connects with the rest of the series

Self-announcement Silent mountain f Back in 2022, I've seen a question circulating online, more enthusiastic and frequency than any other: Is it any connection to the rest of the series? After years of waiting and guessing, we finally got the answer.

Warning: Silent Hill F spoilers will follow.

If you earn points on Silent Hill F, you're familiar with its shocking first ending. In it, it was revealed that the hinako explored ebisugaoka is actually a hinako in his twenties who experienced profound drug-induced psychosis. Although players witnessed the mundane day of our high school main characters, we found that in the real world, it was Hinako's wedding day, she spent the last few hours murdering her friends and family. Sure, her actions are horrible, but if you kind of dig, it makes sense.

It turns out that Hinako has been taking Kakura-Makakura, a natural medicine made from ground Hakkokusou seeds and placed in small red capsules. Originally given to her by her friend Shu to help you recur the nervous headache, it became obvious that the apprentice pharmacist gave her medication without properly assessing the risk of taking or properly considering the risk of her reputation. A bunch of diary entries on the table gave us minimal insight into the drug, as he prescribed it to her to “retain her dependence on traditional drugs” and combines peony and kudzu roots. Fortunately, the documents and spiritual realms scattered throughout the town give us the opportunity to learn more about the medicine ourselves.

Hakkokusou is also known as the “flower of the gods” according to the research paper found in Silent Hill F. These documents continue to point out that herbs are an important part of folklore because it is famous for giving those who consume seeds with God, visiting their lands and awakening the power of dormant – which happened on hinako. Finally, these papers describe Hakkokusou as “known and difficult to grow because it requires a very specific growth environment” and “seldom found in the wild”. At that time, a place where we found Hakkokusou in Silent Hill F was near Shu's home, which was also the town's pharmacist.

Once you arrive at Shu's house, you'll stumble upon a small pond surrounded by large white flowers, unlike anyone you see around town, which is exactly how Silent Hill f shows us how it connects to other silent hill games. Although known as hakkokusou in “Silent Mountain”, fans of “Silent Mountain” will recognize these flowers, like Claudia, “perennial herbs were found near the water”, which contain white flowers and hallucinogenic seeds.

White Claudia has played a prominent role in Silent Hill since the series began. In the first game, the protagonist Harry Mason stumbled upon several documents showing that the game's admirers have been consuming seeds of flowers during the ceremony, which kind of explains their strange behavior. On visiting the town’s hospital, he also found a bottle of broken Aglaophitis – a thick red liquid that was later found to be delicate white Claudia.

In Silent Hill 3, Harry's daughter Heather Mason said her father gave her a “most precious item.” If you check its item description, it says, “There is a jewel inside, like a red tablet.” Later in the game, we discovered that this jewel is actually a small bottle of Aglaophotis. Recently, White Claudia made a appearance in a remake of Silent Mountain 2, and the team of developer Bloober added a new ending to find James taking the substance and starting to hallucinate before his wife Mary caused the best disease.

To make this theory more convincing, it is worth delving into the liquid form of Aglaophitis in white Claudia. according to Fandom's “Silent Mountain” page For the drug in the game, “Aglaophitis may be a factual herb, sometimes associated with European peonies. Greek doctor Dioscorides is named Aglaophitisas a member of Paeoniaceae, Paeoniaceae.” This directly coincides with Shu's diary entry, which describes him as the use of peonies to produce kakura-makakura. Finally, Agura No Hoteli-sama (one of the items needed to get the Fox wedding ending of Silent Hill F) is described as a medicine bottle containing a red liquid similar to Aglaophitis. Later, Hinako was forced to drink the exquisite “flower of the gods” to help stabilize herself in the spiritual world.

So while Silent Hill F may not happen in Silent Hill, it's safe to say that it certainly happens in the same world and has the same thread and theme drag as the predecessor. It is also worth mentioning that this is one of the best games in the series Silent Hill F Comment Call it “a work of visual scenes, subjects in psychological horror, narrative talent, and a new benchmark for the Silent Hill series.”
