Silent Hill f producer Motoi Okamoto has revealed an unusually demanding part of the game's writing process: the script team pushed itself to read around 100 to 200 books a year during production. The goal was not simply to read widely, but to build a deeper understanding of the literary approach behind the project.
According to Okamoto, that reading list included works by Silent Hill f writer Ryukishi07. By studying his material closely, the team aimed to grasp the author's storytelling habits, tone and creative quirks with much more precision.
Okamoto said the writers effectively kept pressure on each other to maintain that pace. The comment suggests the team treated preparation for Silent Hill f as more than standard script development, using heavy reading as a way to align with Ryukishi07's distinct voice.
For fans following the game, the detail offers a clearer picture of how seriously the narrative side of Silent Hill f was approached. Rather than relying only on a writer's name, the production appears to have focused on making sure the wider writing staff understood the style shaping the game's story.
