In 2001, Silent Hill: Play Novel
was released in Japan for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. The game consists of still images and text and is played in the style of a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Full Motion Video sequences from the first game are also included. It deals with Cybil's adventures through the town as well as the exploits of a boy named Andy. It is considered a gaiden story and it has not been released outside of Japan.

Alternate Characters

Play as Cybil Bennet:

To play as Cybil Bennet, beat the game with any ending as Harry Mason. Select the file you just beat the game with and select the top option (continue). When you see the red book with Harry on it, press right to select the green book with Cybil on it.

Play as Survivor:

To play as a survivor in Silent Hill who has his own story, beat the game with Cybil with any ending. If you have a Mobil Adapter (Japan only) on your GBA, you will be asked if you'd like to download the survivor scenario. Choose yes and it'll download. Load the file you played as Cybil in and at the red book with Harry on it, press left to select the yellow book.

This can't really be called a video game, as it's more like a digital story that's been told through visual effects. Check it out below if you're a real Silent Hill fan:

I dunno. I really liked the "game." I thought it was fun and entertaining. It plays out just like the Playstation game - same endings and whatnot.

But, all in all, it really was a fun experience.
