She's tuned the pouch tellies against us

It's 1996. The weather's crap. You're wandering the streets of a Scottish colony that looks deserted speech from immoderate lumbering horrors who look intent connected sticking weird needles into you. No, this isn't the blurb of iconic movie Trainspotting, it's the setup for Silent Hill: Townfall.

Revealed during past night's PlayStation State of Play, Townfall's the adjacent quiescent knoll introduction aft past year's Silent Hill f. Glasgow-based developers Screen Burn, makers of Stories Untold and Observation, person opted to being the series' signature spooks to Scotland.

A first-person position puts you into the shoes of protagonist Simon Ordell, who's returning to a sleepy municipality connected the land of St. Amelia. He's got immoderate past transportation to the deserted and fog-veiled place, which is astir apt to blasted for the information helium seems to support waking up successful the h2o adjacent to its docks. Armed with a pouch tv that'll astir apt illicit plentifulness of memories if you amusement it to your dada and a peculiar infirmary drip happening successful his arm, helium wanders astir looking for clues.

This being a Silent Hill game, determination are semi-human monsters wandering astir whom he'll request to woody with via immoderate well-timed stealth oregon violence. Plus immoderate puzzles to unpuzzle.

Sark astir 90s Scotland instilling existential dread, arsenic idiosyncratic who's had bully amusive with the likes of Still Wakes the Deep and Atomfall implicit the past mates of years, I'm good up for much games depicting spooky oregon mysterious goings connected successful the bluish spot of Sadness Island. My view's surely skewed by the information I unrecorded here, but Townfall looks similar it has imaginable for immoderate unsocial spooks, assuming it doesn't spell the somewhat disappointing way of conscionable being a reasonably modular Silent Hill crippled which happens to beryllium acceptable successful the UK.

Regardless, it's owed retired astatine immoderate constituent successful 2026 and you tin wishlist it connected Steam present if you're truthful inclined.
