Silent Hill: Townfall Builds St. Amelia From a Scottish Fishing Village
Townfall's version of St Monans is a study in subtraction: the same harbor walls, lamp posts and Shore Street cottages that survive in Fife are rendered as a drained, depopulated town, which is how the series keeps converting recognizable coastal architecture into dread.

Konami and Annapurna Interactive released Silent Hill: Townfall on September 24, 2026, a first-person psychological horror game from developer Screen Burn. Its setting, the fogged island of St. Amelia, draws on the real fishing village of St Monans in Fife, Scotland. The game turns the village's stone harbor, low sea walls, lobster creels and pastel cottages into a grey, abandoned town. Simon Odel washes ashore there in 1996.
The setting of Silent Hill: Townfall is St. Amelia, a fog-bound Scottish island that the game's developer, Screen Burn, built partly from a real place. St Monans is a fishing village on the East Neuk of Fife, known for 17th to 19th century fishermen's houses, a stone harbor protected by three breakwaters, and rows of pastel cottages along Shore Street and West Shore. Townfall keeps the harbor layout and the lobster creels and swaps the blue water and red pantiles for haar, grey and boarded windows.
