After numerous years of turmoil, fans of Silent Hill has have gained a new excitement over what might be next for the franchise. As Silent Hill fans are buzzing thanks to franchise revival rumors, it seems some are using the enthusiasm to make inspired projects. While some developers are creating entirely new games to embrace Silent Hill's beloved psychological horror, Fallout 4 modders have opted for a different approach.

Over five years since initially launching, Fallout 4 continues to get support from the modding community. While many mods are focused on making Fallout 4 a better technical experience, there are some willing to experiment with the post-nuclear RPG in unique ways. In the most recent effort of using Bethesda's 2015 game as a base, a modding team decided to make its own Silent Hill-esque adventure.

Released on popular mod hosting website Nexus Mods, the first episode of the giant mod introduces a new location to Fallout 4's "The Commonwealth." The new settlement is dubbed "Whispering Hills" and shares a similarly quaint name as the town that it is based on. Described as a "Silent Hill overhaul," the mod goes beyond just slapping on a thick fog with added Silent Hill sound effects. Going through the description, it displays a great level of care and love for a franchise that has remained dormant. The release of Whispering Hills Episode 1 is accompanied by a trailer showing just how well the mod merges the two games.

With this only being the release of Whispering Hills: Episode 1, players will have to keep waiting for the full experience. Right now, players will only get a small piece of the town as they explore the Midwitch Elementary School that was in the original Silent Hill. With each new episode, another piece of Silent Hill will be incorporated into Whispering Hills. As players explore the town, reality will never quite be a given as they will move in and out of the otherworld where the iconic monsters of the Silent Hill series will make an appearance.

While giant mods have been made for Fallout 4 before, Whispering Hills is definitely one of the most ambitious. Where mods like Fallout: New Vegas' "New California" and "The Frontier" have expanded the Fallout experience to new locations, Whispering Hills seeks to reinvent Fallout 4 into a genre it sparsely dabbles in through specific quests. With no new Silent Hill on the way anytime soon, the team behind Whispering Hills wants to pay homage to developer Team Silent's terrifying atmosphere.

The mod is available for download now on Nexus Mods with install instructions urging the use of the mod manager. While there are still many rumors swirling about new Silent Hill projects, Whispering Hills Episode 1 can serve as a great appetizer from dedicated fans. With more episodes set to come to Fallout 4, it'll be a great way of aiding the wait for an official announcement.

Fallout 4 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
