Silent Hill: Townfall brings the Japanese horror franchise to a fictional Scottish island, marking the series’ first UK setting. Developed by Glasgow studio Screen Burn, the game follows American outsider Simon Ordell, whose mysterious arrival on St Amelia explores trauma, guilt and the effects of powerful corporations on small communities.

Set in 1996 and inspired partly by St Monans in Fife, the game uses recognisably British details including red post boxes, telephone boxes, council estates and everyday utility meters. Combat remains deliberately limited: weapons deteriorate, ammunition is scarce and frightening enemies encourage players to hide or flee, while the reviewer praised the setting and themes but noted some reported performance issues and occasional disagreement with the claim that the game avoids jump scares.
