Bonus Episode #80 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan reviews Silent Hill: Townfall, the first full-length entry in the series played entirely in first person, from Scottish studio Screen Burn Interactive and co-published by Konami and Annapurna Interactive, out now on PlayStation 5 and PC. It’s 1996, and Simon Ordell wakes up in the cold water beside the docks of St. Amelia, a fog-covered island town off the Scottish coast with no one left in it. He has an IV bag hooked to his arm, a hospital wristband with his name on it, and a battered portable TV that keeps picking up voices who seem to know exactly who he is.

What happens when Silent Hill leaves its own town behind and washes up on a Scottish shore? Bryan chases that question across all eight segments. He wanders the stone streets and abandoned homes of St. Amelia and digs into the tangled connection between Simon, the nurse Zoe Ellis, and the mysterious Richard. He tunes in to the CRTV, the series’ iconic radio reimagined as a pocket television, and explains why the game’s forced stealth sections and its hidden ending system tested his patience. The longest segment asks whether Townfall needed the Silent Hill name at all. And the soundtrack gets a full segment of its own, as Bryan explores composer Pilotpriest’s dark, ambient take on the series and the dynamic score he built with the sound team at Arrival.
