KONAMI had been quiet about new developments for the "Silent Hill" game series for a long time, but in 2024, they released a free title on PS5 called "Silent Hill: The Short Message". Developed by "Hexa Drive," the company behind "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," KONAMI stated that this is a brand-new "Silent Hill" experience created for younger players, released for free primarily to gather player feedback.
The game's story primarily revolves around the theme of "school bullying." It describes protagonist Anita receiving a text message from her friend Maya, asking her to go to a specific location. However, after Anita arrives, she encounters a series of strange events and phenomena, slowly unraveling an unknown relationship and the reasons behind the harm it caused...

This Sakura Head statue by Gecco is a recreation of the enemy that suddenly appears before the protagonist in the game and chases her. Sakura Head's design somewhat resembles a scarecrow, with wooden poles supporting its back and wooden spikes on its hands. However, it is adorned with beautiful pink cherry blossoms as its head, waist, and feet, giving it an appearance that is both beautiful and eerie. The base, featuring small notes with various bullying messages as a backdrop, further enhances the atmospheric feel.
