The now-private publication post detailing the rating offered scant details on the reasoning behind this classification. According to the Australian Classification Board, "Refused Classification (RC)" is assigned to films, computer games, and publications that are prohibited from being sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported in Australia. This category includes content deemed beyond the bounds of community standards and surpassing the limits of both R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.

In contrast, the ESRB in the United States rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+," citing reasons such as blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's detailed rating summary highlighted elements like frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks impaling the player, gore-filled cutscenes, and concept art showing a nude mannequin as factors contributing to the game's M 17+ rating.
