Silent Hill Townfall - Part 1 - Awakening in St. Amelia

The first few minutes of this game are somewhat disorienting. The mechanics of the game aren't fully explained immediately because there's a lot to learn over time. The game will explain. Everyone needs something from Simon. When you get the CRTV, it is made fairly obvious that it will be important to the narrative and item that you will use frequently. So far, the CRTV gives hints and highlights enemy locations. Highlights them even through walls. That has been helpful because I have chosen to avoid all of the first few combat encounters completely. The game is clearly designed not just to support a stealth approach. Starting off, it's the only way to get around. The first weapon is a weak piece of wood. Weapons in this game break. Also, your character can't withstand much damage. 4 strikes from an enemy, and you're down. Oncd an enemy spots you, it persistently follows you. And they are fast. The IV health system can revive you, but with very little health and items are scarce. I'm seeing high review numbers for this, but the game definitely has style. However, I'm not fully feeling it yet.
