Gameplay
"Silent Hill: Townfall" is a first-person survival-horror game built around exploration, stealth, and tense encounters. Players use the CRTV, a pocket television that detects nearby threats, reveals signals, and provides clues for navigating the town and solving puzzles. According to PlayStation Blog, the CRTV serves as both a survival tool and an important part of the story.
Combat uses both melee and ranged weapons, but fighting is not always the safest option. Players can hide, distract enemies, or sneak past them, while story-driven puzzles require careful observation and interaction with the environment. Konami describes the game as combining tense evasion, frenetic combat, and narrative-driven puzzles.

"Silent Hill: Townfall" will be available in Standard and Deluxe Editions. The Standard Edition costs $49.99, while the digital Deluxe Edition costs $59.99 in the U.S. The Standard Edition includes the full game, while the Deluxe Edition adds a digital artbook, digital soundtrack, and an alternate outfit for Simon.
