Takeshi Masago and Tamami Hiraoka, who play Hinako’s father and mother in Silent Hill f, have uploaded a video of themselves wishing people a happy new year in character. You can watch the video on Masago’s YouTube channel. [Thanks, Inside Games!]
The video is a little over thirty seconds long. After they both wish the viewer a happy new year, Hiraoka (who plays Kimie, Hinako’s mother in Silent Hill f) asks Masago (who plays Kanta, Hinako’s father) what his resolution for 2026 is. He pulls out a kitchen knife and says that he wants to return to his job as a chef this year, with Kimie applauding and cheering him on. Kimie then reveals that she’s just happy if Kanta and Hinako can live a happy life in the new year. The short then ends with Kimie telling Hinako that they’ll be having hamburg steak for dinner, and Kanta yelling Hinako’s name.
As of the time of writing, the short has racked up over 118,000 views. Most of the top comments are from people saying that this was the happy ending or true ending they wanted to see. Masago also uploads videos of himself playing through Silent Hill f, with Hiraoka appearing on occasion as a guest. The actresses for Hinako and Rinko have also streamed themselves playing the game.
Silent Hill f is available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. You can read our review of it here.
