Konami Silent Hill

There were few mobile games on the Leipzig Games Convention show floor so it was up to Konami, a company that's only now getting on board with mobile games in Europe, to set the tone for the platform.

And having heard plenty about its ambitions from head of the publisher's Paris studio, Axel de Rougé, we made a beeline for the Konami's booth looking to get some quality time with the most sinister of the mobile offerings on show, Silent Hill.

Rather than try to shoehorn a full-on 3D survival horror action game onto a phone, Konami has opted to give the franchise a point-and-click flavour. In this way, it hopes to capitalise on the series' trademark foreboding environments and well-paced psychological terror, rather than turn it into another cheap zombie blastathon.

Silent Hill games aren't known for their 'Once upon a time... and they all lived happily ever after' style storylines and the mobile version is no different. Set in an abandoned orphanage, you begin the game as an ex-resident returning 30 years after a horrific incident in which all but you and two other children were killed in their beds. As the plot unfolds and the terrible truth begins to creep out of the woodwork, you get the opportunity to experience various events from the perspective of the three survivors, each of whom sheds a unique perspective on what happen
