“Fear the truth behind the static.”

Simon Ordell is called back to the island of St. Amelia to ‘put things right’, encountering a town lying quiet beneath a heavy fog, seemingly abandoned but not at rest.

Venturing deeper, and driven to understand his connection to the place and its inhabitants, Simon begins to discover fragments of a past rising to the surface.

Experienced entirely in first person, Simon must explore, evade, and survive using a limited set of weapons and tools, including the CRTV, a pocket television used to tune into unstable signals. Evasion is tense; combat is frenetic, while narrative driven puzzles reveal a truth that refuses to stay submerged.

Silent Hill: Townfall is a full-length, self-contained psychological horror set against the cold, isolated backdrop of Scotland, 1996.

The game is a co-production with renown publisher Annapurna Interactive (Stray, Outer Wilds, Neon White) and multiple BAFTA award-winning independent developer Screen Burn (Stories Untold, Observation).

Game facts:

  • Teaser trailer's audio contains a hidden message in the spectogram: “Whatever heart this town had has now stopped” (credit to MilkManEX). The same message is seen on a poster at the base of the town monument in the reveal trailer.
  • Comparison of two distorted images shared by No Code and Annapurna on Twitter reveals a phrase in Morse code: "I don't know how to leave".
  • The game takes place in St. Amelia, a coastal town inspired by the fishing villages of Eastern Scotland.
