Silent Hill: Ascension just received its first real trailer since the "interactive experience" was announced during Konami's Silent Hill showcase last October.

Just like the rest of the Silent Hill series, the trailer is steeped in a terrifying, miasma-like fog that hides terrifying monsters. Several characters are introduced as the narrator explains how they're all running from pain and guilt. One scene shows a row of empty bottles, while another a shotgun. Pyramid Head is nowhere to be found, but the shadows that stalk these poor souls range from hulking brutes to long-armed, eyeless husks.

"Redemption, suffering, or damnation, their fate is in your hands," the trailer promised.

While the trailer might hint at Silent Hill: Ascension being a traditional video game, it's actually something much different. Soon after the game's announcement, developer Genvid confirmed Ascension will be an "interactive experience" where fans watch episodic content and then take part in smaller minigames to earn points that'll allow them to vote on the actions of their favorite characters. It's a similar concept to The Walking Dead: Last Mile, another interactive experience from Genvid where viewers controlled an avatar character that would solve puzzles and earn "influence points" for community-run votes.

As noted by AestheticGamer on Twitter, the main theme of Silent Hill: Ascension will be "intergenerational trauma." This tracks, given the range of ages and at least one child showcased in the trailer. Genvid worked with mental health experts and therapists that specialize in such trauma to make sure Ascension's story is as believable as possible while still tying it together with Silent Hill's theme of physically manifested emotional torment.

"Silent Hill: Ascension ‎will captivate audiences with its immersive experience, spotlighting stunning visuals and live community-driven moments, all while exploring the psychological horror that has made the Silent Hill series so beloved by fans worldwide," said Genvid CEO Jacob Navok. "For the first time in the Silent Hill history, the collective audience will be able to influence the story, determining crucial outcomes for the complex, evolving characters in this series."

Silent Hill: Ascension still doesn't have a release date, but it now has a website where fans can sign up for Ascension's newsletter. As for the Silent Hill 2 remake, expect Bloober Team to bring out a new trailer "soon."
