Silent Hill: Downpouris the latest Silent Hill game offering the familiar Survival Horror gameplay delivered in the most defined visual quality to date. The game also expands on the exploration theme of the franchise both design-wise and through psychological torture, ambient story, horrific enemies and self-evaluative questions of despair.
Murphy Pendleton has been incarcerated for several years, having had his sentence extended once already. Due to his history at Ryall State Prison, he is being transferred to nearby Wayside Maximum Security Penitentiary—but a freak accident cuts the journey short. Waking up in a forest next to the wrecked bus, Murphy has a clear shot at freedom. He makes his way into the sleepy town of Silent Hill where mysterious locals welcome him into a slowly developing personal hell.

Notes: "Disables the DoF effect which doesn't correctly scale when using resolution upscaling. This patch may slightly affect color-grading and will reduce bloom intensity because those effects share the same shader pipeline with DoF. Additionally, 16x Anisotropic Filtering can now be forced via custom config without causing issues."
