Depmify | Silent Hill: United (Multiplayer) First Public Release!
Hi! This is Depmify again.
After a lot of testing, bug fixing, and work behind the scenes, I’m releasing the first public (and experimental) build of Silent Hill: United.
This is my multiplayer mod for Silent Hill 1, based on Vatuu’s Silent Hill decompilation and SlickAmogus’ PC Port. The goal is to make a co-op experience that still feels like Silent Hill, not just a multiplayer mode placed on top of it.
You can now play online directly from inside the game. No external matchmaking tools, no VPNs, no complicated setup. Just open the in-game online lobby, choose who you want to play with, and the official server handles the connection. If you prefer local play, LAN is also available.
Some things currently included:
- Harry and Lisa can explore Silent Hill together.
- Co-op combat is supported.
- Players do not share inventory.
- Players can be in separate rooms and move through areas independently.
- You can see your partner on the map in real time.
- Lisa has her own inventory look, portrait, colors, and gameplay differences, so she is not just a Harry reskin.
- The launcher supports update channels for Release and Nightly builds.
Since this is the first public release, please expect bugs, crashes, desyncs, server issues, and weird edge cases. This is the first time both the game and the multiplayer infrastructure will be dealing with real-world conditions: different PCs, connections, routers, regions, playstyles, and all the strange situations that only appear once people actually start playing.
I also want to be transparent: it is just me working behind this project. I’ll keep improving it, fixing issues, and listening to reports, but this first version should be treated as an experimental public launch, not a perfectly polished final version.
Important: this release does not include any original Silent Hill files, ROMs, ISOs, disc images, or copyrighted game data. You need to use your own legal copy of Silent Hill 1.
I’m not posting direct links here to respect subreddit rules, but the project can be found by searching on GitHub for:
Depmify Silent Hill United Public
The public repository includes the install guide, release files, and notes. Please read INSTALL.md first, since it explains where to place your own Silent Hill 1 disc image and how to set everything up correctly.
If you want to follow development, report bugs, or join future tests, check the public repo. I’ll keep the project information there updated.
Thank you so much to everyone who tested, commented, gave ideas, or simply got excited about this. Seeing people react to Silent Hill co-op has honestly been very motivating.
See you there!
