Silent Hill 4 PC Released on GOG With Restored Content

Silent Hill 4: The Room is available to play on a PC again, and now it is available in an ultimate form via the GOG Preservation Program. The game first appeared in 2004, and when it launched it showed up on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC. The GOG v1 version debuted in October 2020.

In Silent Hill 4: The Room, we follow a man named Henry Townshend who wakes up to find he’s trapped in his apartment and unable to leave it in the way you might expect. Instead, otherworldly exits to other locations and gradual item reveals that get into the lore of the place and ties to the Silent Hill we remember from past games. 

This version is notable in that a number of quality of life adjustments and fixes are present. Most notable is that all of the missing hauntings that would show up in the latter half of the game are back. It also supports modern controllers. It is designed to greater resemble brightness and gamma from the PS2 release too. Past additions included cloud saves and 30fps cutscenes. 

Here is the reveal trailer for the return of Silent Hill 4: The Room via GOG Preservation Program.

GOG and Konami also shared an intro trailer to set the stage for the adventure.

GOG Preservation Program is a new initiative for the company. It kicked off with games like Dino Crisis 1 and 2. There is also a Dreamlist we can participate in to suggest future games, and Breath of Fire IV is one of the in-demand titles there. More titles will gradually join the collection over time.

Silent Hill 4: The Room originally appeared on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Windows PC, and it is now a part of the GOG Preservation Program.
