Episodic Silent Hill, where players get to choose what happens, was a mind-boggling concept when it was announced. Now, Genvid Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment have released the official premiere trailer and key art for SILENT HILL: Ascension, a Genvid Interactive streaming series, premiering on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.
While Netflix has gotten into the world of “choose-your-own-adventure” television already, it’s fantastic to see one of the iconic horror game franchises using its unique format as a gaming property to inform episodic storytelling.

What is SILENT HILL: Ascension?
If you’re unfamiliar, SILENT HILL: Ascension is a mind-bending, interactive streaming series following the complex lives of two families in peril, linked by unnerving visions and terrifying monstrosities that hound them to the brink of damnation.

Another death shakes the community, and Rachel Hernandez is held responsible. Halfway around the world, in a dying fishing village in Norway named Stilledalen, the uneasy peace of the Johansen family is upended when their matriarch, Ingrid, dies under suspicious circumstances.
