Free psychological horror game Silent Hill: The Short Message was released on 31 January exclusively on PlayStation 5.
The public had a mixed opinion of the game, but despite this The Short Message is popular.
Here's What We Know
Publisher Konami and development studio HexaDrive reported that within a week of Silent Hill: The Short Message's surprise release, the game had over 1 million downloads.

This is a great result for an extremely niche game with meditative gameplay and plenty of hardcore scenes.
The release of Silent Hill: The Short Message could be a good start for the young studio HexaDrive and a good way to attract a new audience to the cult franchise.
Konami probably sees this game as a warm-up game before the release of Silent Hill 2 remake.
