Follow multiple main characters from locations around the world of Silent Hill as they confront the horrors that they have unknowingly unleashed upon their communities.

Silent Hill: Ascension recap

Silent Hill: Ascension (2023) is a computer-animated interactive series where viewers voted after each episode to decide what the characters did next. Genvid Technologies developed it with Bad Robot Games and Behaviour Interactive; episodes streamed daily from October 31, 2023 into spring 2024, and viewers on PC and mobile earned Influence Points for votes by playing companion puzzles and mini-games. It adapts no single game and tells a new story set before the first game. Two families carry it. In Norway, Astrid lives with her father Karl and his sick mother Ingrid; Astrid's mother dies, she suspects her father, and her son Orson goes missing. In Pennsylvania, Rachel Hernandez is a member of the Foundation, a cult, and her daughter Faith disappears. The two women meet in the Otherworld, work out that a group called the Heralds took their children, and join forces against the Withering, a spreading curse. Faith shows signs of otherworldly power, and some townspeople want to kill her while others worship her. The series won an Emmy for innovation in emerging media in 2024.

Silent Hill: Ascension ending explained

Silent Hill: Ascension ends with its twenty-first chapter, "Ascension", in which Astrid and Rachel face their own demons to learn whether they can save their children, or themselves, from the Withering. The outcome was set by the audience's votes, and the creators said in advance that they did not know how it would end. Nothing directly follows it; the next screen story is Return to Silent Hill.
