Silent Hill had a huge impact and legacy on the survival horror genre since its release, showing what horror video games could be capable of. In its own series, it has spawned seven more main installments, comics, two films, and more. It has also had a major influence on horror and narrative-driven video games as a whole, showing how video game stories could have emotion, depth, complexity, and meaning. Silent Hill 3 is a sequel set seventeen years after the game, while Silent Hill: Origins is a prequel set seven years before the game. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a re-imagining of the game set in its own universe, sharing the game's original premise. The 2006 film Silent Hill is a loose adaptation of the game's characters and plot, set in another universe.
