Silent Hill: Genesis is an freeware fan-made adaptation of the original Silent Hill for Sega Megadrive/Genesis in the form of visual novel, based on Silent Hill: Play novel for GBA.
A visual novel is an interactive fiction game featuring mostly static graphics with text. At certain moments the game asks a player to make a choice between two or more possible variants which affect the following walkthrough.
Such kind of games is very popular in Japan, however totally unpopular in the west, therefore Silent Hill: Play Novel was never released outside this country.
The game offered two scenarios: for Harry and Cybil (available after completing Harry's Scenario). Besides the narration the game features a couple of puzzles and multiple endings.
After reaching the end of Cybil scenario a player is awarded with Digital Cards - 32 in total.
As engine used GINCS Visual Studio 1.42 - modded GINCS with compression support. In the future I have plans to update engine to GINCS VS 1.50 for sound support. Now game with no sfx or bg music.
Work in Progress.
