The adventure through Silent Hill f does not conclude when the credits roll, but players have the option to start New Game+ and continue the story. The ending obtainable in the first playthrough leaves players with more questions than answers. This is intentional, as players are required to complete the game at least three times to piece together Hinako’s tale. However, the game is built for replayability, as there are significant portions of the game that change in subsequent playthroughs.
The content in this guide is kept spoiler-free, except for the names of the New Game Plus (NG+) exclusive weapons.
What to Do After Beating Silent Hill F (All New Game+ Content)
After players complete their first playthrough of Silent Hill f, they’ll be notified to create a clear game save, which is crucial to do if you want to start New Game+. After creating the clear game save file, choosing continue on the title menu will start the New Game Plus playthrough.
Players won’t be starting New Game+ empty-handed though, as items and resources like Faith, Omamori, stat Upgrades, lore documents, and certain key items will carry over.
So, let’s check out what players should do after beating the game, and what kind of content awaits them in Silent Hill f’s New Game Plus (NG+).

Gameplay |
Lost in the Fog Action Difficulty |

Try a Different Puzzle Difficulty |
Puzzle hints and solutions drastically change when you switch up the puzzle difficulty. It’s recommended to go for a different difficulty on subsequent playthroughs to keep puzzles fresh and exciting. |
|
|
Witness New Cutscenes |
