The events of Townfall will unfold in the gloomy town of St. Amelie. The new trailer introduced players to Zoe, a nurse at the local clinic, who urges the main character, Simon, to return to the island, while simultaneously questioning his presence there. For Simon himself, this place seems completely alien, and Zoe is a stranger. The developers note that understanding the motives of the locals will be an important part of survival.
One of the features of Townfall will be puzzles closely tied to the plot. Solving them will not only help players progress but also reveal the meaning of what is happening and better understand Simon's story.
The trailer also showed one of the monsters from the Otherworld. Players will have to hide from pursuers, use the peeking mechanic from cover, and a portable CRTV television, which plays an important role in the gameplay.
The PS5 version will support DualSense features. Adaptive triggers will convey weapon resistance, and haptic feedback will allow players to feel the approach of monsters. Motion control will also be available: the CRTV signal can be adjusted by rotating the controller.
