Oh, this is out today. Haven't played it yet, but a life sim set in the amazingly atmospheric voxel future-city from Cloudpunk is certainly an enticing pitch.

One finally popped up on eBay, but it's A) almost 400 quid and B) doesn't even work, so I don't think this dream's gonna come true any time soon.

If I could go back in time and tell teenage Andy running a Silent Hill 2 fansite in 2001 that one day he'd be in the credits of an actual Silent Hill game, he'd probably be like "Cool."
My name in the special thanks section of Silent Hill: Townfall's credits.

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

Alien: Isolation fans might like to know that its xeno-goo is splattered all over Silent Hill: Townfall. Using lo-fi gadgets to track enemies in atmospheric, convincingly lived-in, beautifully art directed environments. Using phones to save. Hiding in lockers. Reading emails on chunky old computers.

The phone box savepoints in Townfall being operated by a company called Red Square Telecoms is a nice touch.

Seeing a five quid powercard in a Silent Hill game is mangling my mind more than any of the faceless shambling horrors.

Very much enjoying all the mundanely familiar UK scenery details in Silent Hill: Townfall.
A phone box.One of those things on the street that says H on it. I see them every day and I still have no idea what they are.A good old-fashioned British bin.A dead end sign.

Shouts to the Dune Awakening devs for adding a wildly customisable new single-player mode where you can add or remove as much friction as you want from all aspects of the game. So if you want to just do cool Dune stuff and see the story without any MMO-type busywork you can.
