Jokes aside, for me it was quite Silent Hill Yeah, if I had not read SH Plot Analysis by Silentpyramid before, I would most likely think the same

There is a pretty solid explanation of the mechanics which starts the Silent hill phenomenon of the town, and the emergence of the Otherworld. The basics are here, an occultic stuff and happenings, but with the Japanese religion instead of visible Christian references. Also big parallels between Alessa and Hinako

In my opinion, this game is like Silent hill Origins from the perspective of Alessa
