Silent Hill: Townfall Is the First Horror Game to Make Me Feel Bad for Using a Shotgun

In Silent Hill: Townfall's Richard section, players must reach the top of a 10-story office building while fending off a new monster called the widow, which hides behind doors and under desks before stabbing and fleeing. After the widows kept interrupting his looting, the author used a shotgun to clear every floor, then noticed the corpses had photos of deceased loved ones stapled to them, realizing he had repeated the cycle of anger and death behind the town's curse. He credits Screen Burn with conveying who Richard was in a short time, calling him clearly evil yet genuinely convinced he was doing right for the town.
