Silent Hill: Townfall review - an often inspired, if slightly lumbering trek into the fog

Brief

This Silent Hill: Townfall review says developer Screen Burn (formerly No Code) took what it needed from the series to tell its own story, following three interwoven lives on the fictional late-90s Scottish island of St Amelia after a disaster left roads blockaded and the square covered in pictures of the missing. It notes that puzzles often hinge on 3 or 4 digit keycodes solved through period technology such as beige desktop computers and payphones, and that the back half turns to late-90s corporate negligence and reputation management. The author finds the stealth mechanical and the patrolling monotonous, with one unkillable enemy proving a chore, though enemies that play dead and a late-game foe reminiscent of Left 4 Dead's Special Infected revive the pace.
