Screen Burn brings Konami’s trademark horror to a fictional Scottish island.
Screen Burn Interactive is the team behind acclaimed horror works Untold stories And ObservationAnd Fall of the city is their twisted take on Konami’s Silent Hill universe. The action takes place in the 1990s on St. Amélie, a cold island off the coast of Scotland that has been mysteriously abandoned, thick with fog and dotted with traces of unrest.
Simon Ordell keeps waking up in the waters of St. Amelia and, armed with a portable television, he’s on a mission to fix something, if only the monsters would stop stalking him. Fall of the city is in first person, a rarity for the series, and it appears to feature puzzle elements amid the red-lit terrors and family drama.
Fall of the city is part of Konami’s larger overhaul of the Silent Hill franchise we’re all currently enjoying, which includes the Silent Hill 2 remake of Bloober Team and September’s Silent Hill: f from NeoBards Entertainment and psychological horror writer Ryukishi07. It also includes Silent Hill: Ascensionbut… we’re not talking about that one.
Now is the perfect time to mention it Silent Hill: f is an excellent installment in Konami’s strangest world. Set in a rural Japanese town in the 1960s and starring high school student Shimizu Hinako, Silent Hill: f is filled with bloodstained beauty, satisfying hand-to-hand combat, and gross monsters made from childhood trauma. There’s really nothing better to cut out than this, but to be honest, we haven’t seen what Sainte-Amélie has in store for us yet.
