Silent Hill Fans Try To Decipher Hidden Message In Creepy Trailer

Alessa is at the center of the first Silent Hill and a pivotal recurring character throughout the series, so it would certainly fit with the rest of the trailer. Elsewhere Morse code was translated to “SOS,” another ominous but generic clue. Hmm, anyone else getting strong Silent Hill vibes from all this?

While the fan theories are still in their infancy, the mere existence of the clues has energized players for what they hope will be an intense augmented reality game (ARG) leading up to Townfall’s release. “im literally so hyped for townfall because the format looks a lot like vhs type ARG (suspicions correct, thank u OP) that would be something you’d find on the dark side of yt AND I LOVE IT, works so well with the theme of silent hill, genuinely cannot wait,” wrote one player.

This is all in keeping with No Code’s past work. Observation was a sci-fi adventure game thriller about controlling a spaceship AI trying to uncover the mystery behind its disappeared crew. Stories Untold, meanwhile, was an episode horror series set in the 1980s in the vein of Black Mirror. Both focused on action and puzzles mediated by screens, and the haunted CRT in the new trailer points to a possibly similar approach for Townfall. It’s clear for fans the real game has already started.
