Every How To Video Game guide for the Silent Hill series, starting with Silent Hill: Townfall, Screen Burn Interactive’s first-person horror set in the Scottish coastal town of St. Amelia in 1996. Each guide answers one question in its first two sentences, and facts are checked against Konami, the Steam store page and the official PlayStation Blog before they go up.

About Silent Hill: Townfall

Townfall launched on September 24, 2026 on PS5 and PC, through Steam and the Epic Games Store. It is a timed PS5 console exclusive: the fine print on Konami’s official gameplay trailer rules out other consoles until at least six months after release, which our guide to Silent Hill Townfall: Is It Coming to Xbox? Answered explains in full.

It does not take place in the town of Silent Hill at all. Konami’s Steam page calls it a “full-length, self-contained psychological horror”, so you do not need to have played any earlier game first. Our explainer on how it connects to the rest of the series covers the themes it shares with the older games, and Silent Hill Townfall: Is St. Amelia a Real Place? Answered looks at the stretch of Scottish coast that inspired it. The studio, formerly known as No Code, previously made Stories Untold and Observation.

Where to Start

Before you play. Director Jon McKellan puts a first playthrough at roughly 10 to 14 hours (our how long to beat guide has the detail). Townfall has two separate difficulty settings, one for combat and one for puzzles, so you can make fights easier without touching the puzzles, or the reverse. If you expected a walking simulator from this studio, read Silent Hill Townfall: Is There Combat? Answered first. For a sense of the critical reception, see our Silent Hill Townfall: Is It Good According to Critics? Answered.

Stuck on a puzzle. Start with how puzzles work and how to get unstuck, which explains the Hinted setting and the clue types without spoiling solutions. When you want the answer outright, every code and combination is on one page, along with dedicated solutions for the Medical Center and Remote Systems Control puzzles.

Endings and replays. Townfall has five endings. Three are reachable on a first run and the secret endings need New Game Plus. Our endings explainer stays spoiler-free, while how to get every ending lists the exact conditions. Trophy hunters can follow the platinum roadmap.

Collectibles. The Strange Postcards and CRTV signals each have a full location guide, and our weapons guide lists where every weapon turns up.

PC players. Townfall launched with stutter on some PC setups. Our crash and stutter fixes collect what helps, and the PC requirements page covers Steam Deck performance.

How We Keep These Guides Current

Konami and Screen Burn have patched Townfall since launch, and the developers have kept talking about the game in interviews. When an official patch note or developer statement changes an answer, we update the guide and say what changed. Our length estimate, for example, was revised upward once the director gave his own figure. Where a detail comes only from early player reports or reviews rather than Konami, the guide says so.
