Survival horror games like Silent Hill f are often praised for their ability to deliver a concise yet deeply immersive experience. The game takes the player into a 1960s Japanese town filled with various unsettling monsters, and it tells a psychological story that players can truly immerse themselves in during their playthrough. However, its multiple endings and secrets offer significant replayability for those who wish to explore every unsettling detail of the narrative.

The following guide includes information on how long it will take players to finish the game and how many chapters they will have to play to reach the ending in Silent Hill f.

Players who enjoy a survival horror setting will be pleased to hear that Silent Hill f will take them from 9 to 12 hours of gameplay. This playtime can change quite a bit depending on what action and puzzle difficulty you are going for. Exploration for all the collectibles, such as documents and Omamoris, can also take time, as most of these are not on the main path.

For trophy and achievement enthusiasts, every boss has a trophy tied to it, which mainly includes not taking damage from a certain aspect of the boss fight or taking them down in a certain way. These trophies will definitely make the fights much more challenging and increase your playtime.

It is important to take into consideration that the hours displayed on the load screen do not include retries, and also possibly the time you spend in the menu.

One of the best things about the game itself is that even after finishing the first playthrough, your story is not really over, and you can progress through the NG+ to find out changes to the story while also acquiring more Omamoris and different weapons.
