The Silent Hill: Ascension is a Horror Interactive Series

Think of how Horror video games are commonly filled with gore and unsettling themes, and then combine it with the freedom that players and watchers get to choose how the story ends.

This is exactly what Silent Hill: Ascension is introducing to its fans as the franchise's newest entry.

Since the interactive series' premiere on October 31st, just in time for Halloween, the show has yet to gain its official age rating guide, but considering that streaming the episodes is free for all, here's what you should expect from Silent Hill: Ascension.

While it doesn't have a particular age rating, the genre of the game series is survival horror and can be accessed via Android and IOS cellphones, and the accessibility is where the problem's going to be.

Here's the official synopsis of Silent Hill: Ascension for reference:

The Hernandez family plummets into chaos as another death shakes their decimated rust-belt town in Pennsylvania. In a dying fishing village in Norway, the uneasy peace of the Johansen family is upended when their matriarch, Ingrid, dies under suspicious circumstances. Survival depends on them overcoming their darkest impulses and the machinations of a cult, as they discover the horror that connects them."

While Silent Hill: Ascension has yet to have its official age rating, it most definitely is not recommended for children aged 17 years old and below.

Making choices in any video game is quite normal.

But since this is an interactive series, Silent Hill: Ascension involves a lot of input from multiplayers' perspectives, which would affect how the next episode ends.

One of the early choices that has been teased is choosing which character would deserve to die.

Once that decision has been made, the character would disappear from the series and make big changes as to how the game and storyline would proceed afterward.

Not to mention, the accessibility of the interactive series would mean any kid who has the appropriate device with an internet connection could watch and play the game without being detected.

So, it would be best to keep an eye out on your kids on what they install and play on their respective devices.
