What is Silent Hill Ascension?

Ascension is not a game per se, but rather a web series featuring a completely new storꦐy and cast of characters set in the infamous town.

You can just watch the series for free if you’d like, but you — and the rest of the community — can pay to try and directly influence the evolution of the new Silent Hill canon.

To have influence over Ascension, you’ll need IP. That’s short for Influence Points. You can get some IP for free by completing daily puzzles, such as a rhythm game where you play the songs of Silent Hill, but𝔍 you naturally stand to earn way more points by paying actual money.

The best way to earn IP is the Founder’s Pack. It costs you $19,99 and includes a season pass that will allow players to unlock all sorts of cosmetics that they can try to get their characters to wear in the series.

Ascension will run over the course of 16 weeks, during which the community will get to decide what happens to its characters and to the world of Silent Hill.

The premiere will be about 45 minutes long. From the🐬n on, each night will b🎉ring a new episode that will last from 5 to 15 minutes.

People who’ve purchased the Founder’s Pack will get to replay the series with the option to find out different possible outcomes.
