Silent Hill: The Arcade (サイレントヒル アーケード, Sairento Hiru Ākēdo) is an arcade game spin-off of the survival horror video game series Silent Hill developed and published by Konami Digital Entertainment. The Arcade was first revealed at the 2007 Japan Arcade Operator's Union trade show by Konami.[1][2]

Being a rail shooter, Silent Hill: The Arcade is a large departure from the normal survival horror mechanics of the main series.[3]
