Silent Hill: Townfall aims to subvert expectations with a British-set psychological horror

Eurogamer’s preview of Silent Hill: Townfall presents a game that preserves the series’ psychological horror core while deliberately subverting expectations with a grounded, British coastal town setting, a new combat rhythm that favors caution, a narrative-driven puzzle design, and a mystery centered on Simon and Zoe. Developed by Screen Burn Interactive (formerly No Code) with Konami and Annapurna, Townfall leans into familiar SH motifs while exploring fresh gameplay ideas, including a “peek and hide” mechanic, multiple endings, and a CRTV clue system that guides rather than hand-holds the player.
