new horror game from Silent Hill devs: meet Niraya of ■■

Niraya of ■■, the latest horror game from HexaDrive, developers behind Silent Hill: The Short Message, is set to bring a unique twist to the horror genre. Inspired by the Buddhist beliefs of the Kamakura period, Niraya of ■■ focuses on evading monsters rather than confronting or hiding from them. Players will navigate eerie environments, solve puzzles, and manage limited stamina while playing as a young child in a mysterious realm. Though the game is still early in development, it’s scheduled for a 2025 release and offers a fresh gameplay experience distinct from typical horror titles.

Niraya of ■■ emphasizes dodging monster attacks rather than defeating or hiding from them, providing a distinctive approach to the horror genre. Players must strategically use their surroundings to evade supernatural creatures while managing their stamina.

HexaDrive has a history of collaborating with notable game publishers such as Square Enix and Konami. They were responsible for developing The Third Birthday and the 3DS port of Metal Gear Solid 3. Their experience in creating compelling game mechanics and immersive environments sets high expectations for their new original horror title, Niraya of ■■.
