Silent Hill: Play Novel is an adaptation of the original Silent Hill for the Game Boy Advance in the form of a visual novel released exclusively in Japan. However, it has been translated into English by fans.
Gameplay
Silent Hill: Play Novel is an interactive story. At certain moments, the game asks the player to make a choice between two or more possible options which can affect the rest of the story. Besides the narration, the game features some puzzles and multiple endings. After reaching the ending, a player is awarded with Digital Trading Cards - 32 in total for all scenarios.
The game offers two main scenarios: one for Harry Mason and one for Cybil Bennett, available after completing Harry's scenario. There are also four additional scenarios available for download in Japan, which follows a boy named Andy, Harry and Cheryl's neighbor. However, Konami ended the download service after a short time.
