The IGN description reads:

First revealed today during IGN Japan’s livestream at Tokyo Game Show 2023, the concept art “was designed to depict a character facing threats that the audience will need to help him overcome".

Ascension is a narrative-based, branching choice cloud streaming experiment. Genvid is essentially going to stream, only once, a choose your own adventure-style Silent Hill mini-series where the stream's chat will collectively decide what happens, letting the fanbase create its own Silent Hill canon.

The interactive series follows characters from locations around the world tormented by new and terrifying Silent Hill monsters. These monsters threaten to consume people and their children as they're drawn into the darkness by both recent murders and long suppressed guilt and fears. The player gets to decide who lives and who decides.

The interview was only released in Japanese, so I used an AI translator to create the English subtitles. The translation isn't perfect, but the bulk of the interview is comprehensible now to English-speakers.
