Get ready for a chilling ride! Endflame, the folks behind Ikai, are diving back into the world of Japanese horror with their new game, Silent Road. Imagine this: you're a taxi driver working the night shift in a remote Japanese forest, a place known for its tragic past and unsettling secrets. Sounds like the perfect setting for a horror game, right?

I'm already getting Silent Hill vibes from the screenshots. The cyan-green tones and fog-drenched roads create an eerie atmosphere that's bound to keep you on edge.

As you pick up passengers, you'll hear their stories, encounter strange behaviors, and uncover cryptic clues about the forest's curse. Each fare brings new tension, turning your routine work into a descent into psychological horror. It's not just about jump scares; it's about the slow-burning dread that creeps under your skin.

What to Expect?

If you're into classic Japanese horror, Silent Road seems to be hitting all the right notes. Expect a creepy atmosphere, unsettling passenger encounters, and a mystery that you'll have to piece together through environmental storytelling. You'll even have to step outside your taxi to help passengers with tasks, which I'm sure will be anything but safe. I can already imagine the suspense as you wander through the dark forest, not knowing what awaits you around the corner.

I think it's great that Endflame is focusing on creating a frightening experience with a deeper meaning. Sometimes, the best horror stories are those that explore deeper themes and stay with you long after you finish playing.

Silent Road is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam in 2026. While that may seem like a long way off, I'm definitely adding this to my wishlist. I'm eager to see what kind of terrifying experiences Endflame has in store for us.

So, buckle up and get ready for a psychological horror ride through Japan's most haunted forest. It's going to be a long and terrifying night!
