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

All five endings at a glance

The three main endings depend on two running totals: enemies you have killed and Discoveries you have collected. The two secret endings replace the normal finale when you complete an extra item route in New Game+. Ending names and trophies below match two independent ending guides and the PowerPyx trophy list.

How Kills and Discoveries decide the main ending

Every enemy you kill adds to one total; every Clue and Document you collect adds to the other. The game compares them at the end. More Kills than Discoveries leads to Abandoned. A narrow lead for Discoveries leads to Forever, and a wide lead leads to Justice.

GameRant reports the working margins as at least 20 more Discoveries than Kills for Justice and about 5 more for Forever, with any run above 60 Kills falling to Abandoned. PowerPyx describes a Justice run with around 80 Discoveries and up to about 50 Kills. Konami has not published exact thresholds, so treat these as reported community-tested margins and build a comfortable buffer rather than aiming for an exact number.

• For Justice: pick up every document you pass and evade enemies instead of finishing them.
• For Forever: keep Discoveries only slightly ahead of Kills; this is the hardest to hit precisely.
• For Abandoned: fight freely and skip optional reading.

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.

None of the ending guides we checked show an in-game counter you can open mid-run, so do not rely on finding one. A rough tally is enough: note each kill as it happens and each Clue or Document you pick up. Keep the gap wide for Justice and stay well below 60 kills.

• Justice: aim for a lead of 20 or more Discoveries and far fewer than 60 kills.
• Forever: aim for about 5 more Discoveries than kills. Make a manual save before the final section so you can adjust if you overshoot.
• Unsure of your totals? Evade rather than kill in Part 6; it only moves you toward Justice.

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, reload, and change your Kill total on the way to the end if your totals are close.

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.
