21 years later, a mysterious Disney game is being sold online after the internet discovered it was basically Silent Hill and Resident Evil for kids.

The 2003 action-adventure game Disney’s Piglet’s Big Game, based on the movie Piglet’s Big Game, quickly sold out online after the Internet discovered it was essentially a horror game inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

Piglet’s Big Game wasn’t quite as big a sensation as its name suggests when it was released 21 years ago, receiving mixed reviews and fading into obscurity in the decades that followed. However, gameplay clips are currently going viral due to the notable similarity in tone and style to Silent Hill, in particular. Looking at the clips, it’s pretty clear that the folks at Doki Denki Studio took heavy, inexplicable inspiration from Konami when designing Piglet’s Big Game, which, I’ll remind you, is a Winnie the Pooh game starring a pink pig.

On a superficial level, it’s easy to see and hear the similarities in the fixed camera and sound design, but delving a little further into Piglet’s Big Game as a self-confessed new fan, the story of the main character overcoming his fears in a terrifying, dream-like world has some clear similarities to Silent Hill This scene, which takes place in a library, certainly has Resident Evil energy. Players with first-hand experience with the game call it “a kid’s first Resident Evil and/or Silent Hill game.”

To really illustrate this similarity, some rightly wonder if the Silent Hill 2 remake directly samples a score from Piglet’s Big Game in apparent acknowledgment of the similarities.

Hey @Mateusz_Lenart_, can you confirm that Silent Hill 2 remake sampler Piglets Big Game (2003) because yes that sounds exactly like Akira Yamaoka’s “Chthonic Symphony” https://t.co/KQ4Gr94eJTNovember 9, 2024

Hey guys what happens in this game https://t.co/VQT7z3r5dS pic.twitter.com/SBR2s3q3E0November 8, 2024

As someone who has already played Big Little Piggy, the best way you can describe her is as the first resident villain of the Kid and/or Silent Hill and no, I’m not exaggerating https://t.co/L9IrhIUd9VNovember 9, 2024

However, there are others desperate to purchase the game and play it themselves, resulting in the PS2 version of the game actually being sold out on US eBay at the time of writing. You can get other versions of the game, but their prices go up quickly. A quick search on eBay yields two versions of the GameCube; One is asking for $52.57 with $30 shipping and another is asking for $300. Unless you’re really desperate to play Piglet’s Big Game on console, I’d recommend taking a look at the PC versions, especially since the game’s unlikely to hold its high value for long.

Otherwise, you should probably just watch the clips above and play Silent Hill 2 Remake instead.
