Konami delivered a pleasant surprise to fans in the form of releasing SILENT HILL: The Short Message.

The newest entry in the psychological horror franchise, the short game follows the story of Anita, who is called by a friend to an abandoned apartment complex on the outskirts of town. "As she explores her eerie surroundings, she comes face-to-face with a dark truth that she had tried to shut away," the press release reads. " The game is set in the present day and deals with the theme of slander and bullying on social networking sites – a contemporary theme familiar in modern day society."

The Short Message serves as an opportunity for new players to get into the long-running franchise, with Konami adding that they "hope that the new generation of players who have not been exposed to the previous games in the series will experience the world of psychological horrors SILENT HILL can deliver."

Watch the full trailer above. SILENT HILL: The Short Message is available to download for free now on the PlayStation Store.
