Silent Hill: Townfall launches with strong early reviews

gamingSep 22, 202638931

Silent Hill: Townfall launched to strong early reviews, with outlets praising its atmospheric, first-person, Scotland-set take from the team behind Stories Untold and Observation. Players and contributors have been calling out how the game nails mundane domestic details, from kitchen cupboards that feel eerily like real homes to a CRTV’s antenna gag that keeps showing up in posts. Many write about the game’s sound design and tactile sense of place, and several contributors have openly said they consulted on or helped build parts of the release. Streams and playthrough posts emphasize stealthy, quiet horror moments and a desire to explore the game’s familiar-but-off Scottish streets without spoiling the story.

The bin hasn't got stains and burn marks from cigs, so I'm not buying it

I don't know if I've ever seen a more accurate portrayal of this kind of setting before. It's too real, hah

They're the UK equivalent of a fire hydrant!

I love this. For all its faults, The Getaway is another game with some fun examples of street furniture and the like.

See, THIS is scary. It's unsettling and uncanny because it's so familiar, then just slightly off, like a memory, or a dream. Outside of the US and US-based settings, which other games are there where the design hits locals in the same way?

The monsters in silent hill townfall look too hokey to me. Some of Silent Hill F's were at least alright. They've kinda just never been as perfect as the ones in II and III.

Now that it's out I can say I consulted on Silent Hill: Townfall! One of those projects I've been holding back on gushing about because of how impressed I was with it even during development! Congrats to the folks at Screen Burn on the launch!

IGN using 'Old Fog, New Tricks' for their Silent Hill Townfall review is my kind of bullshit. Love it.

A viewer of mine said “I preordered Silent Hill Townfall so I’ll have the complete SH trilogy that you helped announced back all those years ago” and this made me so happy🥹 It’s really nice to have something you can be proud of and be reminded of it from time to time
