Haunting GroundvsSilent Hill: Shattered Memories
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Haunting Ground
Variance · Systems & Chaos
PS2 survival horror about evading relentless stalkers with help from a loyal dog.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A combat-free horror reimagining that profiles your psychology and reshapes the story around it.
Haunting Ground leans Variance (Systems & Chaos); Silent Hill: Shattered Memories leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Chase sequences need only basic evasion control
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Haunting Ground
Stalker patrols and panic system feel unpredictable
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Profile-driven changes are hidden first time through

A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
