Have you ever played a Silent Hill game?

The emphasis has never been on shooting anything. Especially not zombies because there have never been any. Tactical fleeing however has always been a part of the game.

Like BLueFire said, it's about atmosphere and the scares have never been about holy shit a monster is coming but rather about build-up of suspense and psychological scares.

Monster never run at you in past games. They kind of come at you at a ginger pace, taking their sweet time. I'm hoping this game maintains that and knowing that they could burst into full speed at any time would be somewhat harrowing.
