Silent Hill: Townfall

Simon Ordell returns to the island of St. Amelia to put things right, finding a fogbound town that appears abandoned.

St. Amelia’s fog-soaked streets, abandoned communities, and forgotten corners carry traces of the town’s history. Reality and delusion intertwine as Simon ventures further into this tangible but unsettling place, where the story also explores introspection, loss, and consequence.
