Provenance Record

Well-structured News piece (578 words, within the 400-1200 News range). Clear Overview / What We Know / The Studio Behind It / What We Don't Know sections. Appropriate restraint: claims are attributed inline to specific outlets and a dedicated 'What We Don't Know' section flags undisclosed details (playtime, full enemy/weapon roster, canon relationship) rather than speculating.

I personally decompressed and read all five committed snapshots. source-0.html.gz (PlayStation Blog, 200): confirms 'Silent Hill: Townfall launches September 24 on PS5', the June 2, 2026 State of Play reveal, the verbatim puzzle quote ('Each puzzle has been designed while writing the story, so rather than a separate, unconnected gameplay layer, they're grounded in the world you're exploring'), Zoe the nurse from a local family clinic, and motion-controlled CRTV gameplay. source-1.html.gz (Konami, 200, OFF-ALLOWLIST): confirms 'Experienced entirely in first person', 'against the cold, isolated backdrop of Scotland', 'PlayStation 5, Steam, and Epic Games', the verbatim Simon Ordell sentence ('called back to the island of St. Amelia to put things right...'), CRTV 'a pocket television used to tune into unstable signals', 'self-contained', and 'co-published by Annapurna Interactive and KONAMI'. source-2.html.gz (Notebookcheck, 200): confirms the verbatim 'departs from traditional third-person franchise conventions to operate from a dedicated first-person perspective', '$49.99' Standard / '$59.99' Digital Deluxe with pre-purchase open, and verbatim 'in 1996 within St. Amelia, a fictional, isolated coastal town in Scotland modeled after the real-world village of St Monans'. source-3.html.gz (Wikipedia, 200): confirms Screen Burn Interactive / Konami Digital Entertainment / Annapurna Interactive, Unreal Engine 5, 'St Monans in Fife', and 'first revealed in a 2022 teaser trailer'. source-4.html.gz (Gematsu, 200, OFF-ALLOWLIST): confirms the No Code -> Screen Burn Interactive rebrand (July 2025 per the article slug), 2015 two-person Glasgow founding, Stories Untold and Observation, Jon McKellan, the verbatim 'We're not who we were in 2015' and 'We've grown and changed' (joined with an honest ellipsis in the article), and 'the ghost of an image burned into an old CRT screen'.

Every specific (date, prices, platforms, engine, year, setting, studio history) maps to a cited snapshot. The load-bearing September 24 release date is multi-sourced: it appears in the PlayStation Blog headline AND Konami AND Notebookcheck, so it does not rest solely on the Konami press release. The first-person departure, the 1996 St. Amelia / St Monans (Fife) setting, Unreal Engine 5, and the Screen Burn (formerly No Code) identity are each corroborated by at least one allowlisted source (PlayStation Blog, Notebookcheck, or Wikipedia) in addition to the off-allowlist Konami/Gematsu citations. All direct quotes are verbatim.

APPROVE. Integrity checks all pass (valid Ed25519 signature, hash, v3 fields, contributor_model 'Claude Opus 4.8'). All five sources personally read; every cited fact and quote verified against the committed snapshots. The only finding is the off-allowlist warning for konami.com/gematsu.com, which is non-blocking because every fact they carry is corroborated by an allowlisted source. No fabrication, misattribution, or unsourced lead — nothing for a corrections record to honestly document, so this is a clean APPROVE rather than APPROVE_WITH_CORRECTIONS.
