Okay, so Play Novel: Silent Hill on the GBA is weird in the best way—it’s basically a visual novel version of the first Silent Hill game, but with a twist. Instead of wandering the foggy streets in real-time, you’re making choices that shape the story, like picking whether Harry checks that creepy alley or bolts for the diner. The text is surprisingly tense, and those little chiptune sound effects? They somehow make the whole thing more unsettling.

If you’ve played the original, some scenes hit differently here—like, reading Lisa’s dialogue in plain text somehow makes her desperation sharper. But even if you’re new to Silent Hill, the writing nails that slow-drip horror vibe. Just don’t expect jump scares; it’s all about the creeping dread. And yeah, you’ll probably restart a few times to see what happens if you pick the obviously bad decisions (spoiler: it’s never good).

Honestly, it’s a niche pick, but if you’re into atmospheric horror or just love weird GBA experiments, this one’s a trip. Just play it with the lights on.
