Silent Hill: Townfall Launches in Scotland, Splitting Critics on Its First-Person Horror

Silent Hill: Townfall launched on September 24, 2026, developed by Glasgow studio Screen Burn and published by Konami. Set in 1996 in the fictional Scottish fishing village of St. Amelia, the game marks the first full first-person entry in the series. Players control Simon Ordell, who uses a handheld CRT television to track monsters and navigate a town plagued by supernatural fog and corporate negligence. While praised for its atmospheric design and thematic depth regarding trauma, reviews are divided on its gameplay mechanics, particularly the frustration caused by erratic enemy AI and inconsistent stealth systems.

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.
