Silent Hill: Townfall Endings: All 5 and How to Get Them

All five endings at a glance

The three main endings reflect the run; a simple comparison of two end-screen totals is insufficient. The table separates broad planning advice from the secret endings’ item requirements. The names and trophies agree across the checked ending guides and trophy list.

Reported Kills and Discoveries guidance

At the October 3 recheck, PowerPyx’s current guide has replaced its earlier raw-total guidance with a weighted score model attributed to community research. It distinguishes Simon’s relevant kills from the end-screen total and includes refills and Zoe’s treatment mistakes. This strengthens the case against simple Kills-versus-Discoveries subtraction; it is not an official formula or a calculation reproduced by this site. Earlier GameRant shortcuts, including a five-Discovery lead and a 60-kill ceiling, remain unsuitable as universal rules.

A September 26 results screenshot shows 66/85 Discoveries, 43 Enemies Killed and Forever on Story Mode. We inspected the displayed values, but they do not reveal every action or internal counter. A separate NG+ thread reports an unexpected Abandoned outcome despite following the usual advice. Neither report establishes a confirmed bug or patch remedy. Preserve the complete results and relevant actions when comparing runs.

• For Justice: pick up every document you pass and evade enemies instead of finishing them.
• For Forever: use a separate fallback save and compare completed results; an exact five-point lead is not a verified requirement.
• For Abandoned: the published route emphasizes combat and less optional reading; keep a fallback rather than assuming a fixed kill count guarantees it.

Cannula refills and Zoe mistakes: new community findings

On September 25, the View Kill Count LIVE mod author said its earlier ending predictions had followed online guides, then reported finding additional variables in game data. A separate September 26 Reddit researcher described blueprint analysis with the same four categories: Discoveries, selected enemies killed by Simon, cannula refills and mistakes during Zoe’s treatment sequence.

The reports agree that the last two can reduce the proposed score. The Reddit analysis also distinguishes the end-screen enemy total from the internal ending counter. That provides a plausible explanation for contradictory results, not a formula we have independently reproduced. The tracker author still expressed uncertainty about outcome boundaries; we are not turning the claims into a guaranteed calculator.

For another attempt, preserve a save before the treatment sequence and keep a record of mistakes and refills as well as discoveries and combat. Do not abandon healing or restart a completed run just to satisfy an unverified threshold.

What counts, and how to keep track

Only collected Clues and Documents count as Discoveries. Allthings.how states that CCTV scans and other collectible types are excluded, so postcards and CRTV signals do not help your ending even though they matter for trophies. Kills are enemies you finish off; enemies you evade or distract do not count.

September 24 community replies and a published Axe guide point players to Statistics in the main menu. We have not verified whether that screen shows an active-run count or a completed-run record on every platform, so check which run the displayed totals describe. If that is unclear, keep your own tally. A reported counter is not proof of an exact ending threshold.

• Capture the completed Results screen, including the ending, difficulty, Discoveries and Enemies Killed.
• Record whether this is a first run or New Game+, plus your platform, build, Cannula Refilled count and what happened during Zoe’s treatment sequence. Do not substitute cumulative trophy totals for run-specific information.
• If the result differs from a guide, keep the save and compare one change at a time. Do not delete progress or repeat a whole run solely to hit an unverified number.

Getting several endings from one save

PowerPyx confirms there is no chapter select and no free roam. To return to an earlier point you must reload a manual save or start again. Before the final stretch of Part 6, make a separate manual save at a telephone. You can then finish once, record the result and compare a different route after reloading. This preserves options; it does not guarantee a chosen ending.

New Game+ carries over progress toward cumulative trophies. That makes it the natural place to collect Dog and Sci-fi, since those routes do not exist on a first playthrough.

Dog ending (New Game+)

The three coins only appear in New Game+. GameRant lists them as the Bronze Coin at Video Star in Part 1, the Silver Coin in a shed on the east road before the Estates in Part 4, and the Gold Coin in Room 793 in Part 6. Each goes into a Guide Dog charity box: beside the Pharmacy, at the Laundromat, and at the locked exit door respectively. Missing one deposit returns you to a normal ending, so check each placement before moving on. The ending plays after the final boss.

Sci-fi ending (New Game+)

Interact with the three Strange Books during New Game+ and obtain the Strange Access Card. Use the card at the keycard reader near the end instead of continuing normally. PowerPyx notes that this route skips the usual final section and the final boss, so it is also the quickest of the five endings to reach once the items are in hand.

Keep a separate PC backup before another ending attempt

If you want to preserve your current Windows progress before troubleshooting or a replay, locate and copy the local save folder. Keep the backup separate from the live files. That does not change the ending requirements or replace the phone-save restrictions for a trophy run.
