# All Endings How to Get
Silent Hill: Townfall features 5 endings in total. Three of them are story endings determined by your gameplay behavior, while the remaining two are joke endings available in New Game Plus. According to Konami's official materials, the game features multiple endings shaped by the player's actions. With careful save management, you can obtain all endings in just 2 playthroughs.
Ending Determination System
The three main story endings are determined by the ratio of Discoveries to Kills throughout your playthrough. Discoveries include finding clues, documents, and exploring areas, while Kills refer to enemies defeated in combat.
| Ending | Type | Condition | Trophy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Justice | Good | Significantly more Discoveries than Kills (~80 Discoveries, up to 50 Kills) | For St. Amelia (Gold) |
| Forever | Normal | Slightly more Discoveries than Kills (~5 more Discoveries than Kills) | Here To Stay (Gold) |
| Abandoned | Bad | More Kills than Discoveries, or 60+ Kills | Just Making Things Worse (Gold) |
Ending 1: Justice (Good Ending)
The Justice ending is considered the "good" or canonical ending. To achieve it:
- Prioritize exploration and discovery over combat
- Aim for approximately 80 or more Discoveries with up to 50 Kills
- The key is having significantly more Discoveries than Kills -- a large gap favors this ending
- Explore every area thoroughly, read all documents, and collect all clues you find
- Avoid unnecessary combat; use stealth and evasion when possible
Trophy: "For St. Amelia" (Gold)
Ending 2: Forever (Normal Ending)
The Forever ending is the "neutral" or default ending. To achieve it:
- Maintain a balance between exploration and combat
- You need slightly more Discoveries than Kills -- approximately 5 more Discoveries
- This is the most naturally occurring ending if you play without a specific strategy
Trophy: "Here To Stay" (Gold)
Ending 3: Abandoned (Bad Ending)
The Abandoned ending is the "bad" ending. To achieve it:
- Focus on combat over exploration
- Accumulate more Kills than Discoveries
- Reaching 60+ Kills will also trigger this ending regardless of Discovery count
- Skip optional exploration areas and engage enemies aggressively
Trophy: "Just Making Things Worse" (Gold)
Ending 4: Dog (NG+ Joke Ending)
The Dog ending is a humorous joke ending only available in New Game Plus. It requires collecting special items across the game world.

Recommended Playthrough Strategy
### Two-Playthrough Method
You can unlock all 5 endings efficiently with 2 full playthroughs and some manual save management:
Playthrough 1 -- Abandoned Ending + Collectibles - Focus on combat to trigger the Abandoned ending - Collect all items needed for Dog and Sci-fi endings along the way - Do NOT use manual saves (to keep the speedrun trophy option open) - Estimated time: ~8 hours
Playthrough 2 -- Justice Ending + Setup - Start New Game Plus - Prioritize exploration and discoveries for the Justice ending - Set up the Dog and Sci-fi ending requirements - Estimated time: ~3 hours
Reload for Remaining Endings - Reload manual saves from Playthrough 2 to get Forever, Dog, and Sci-fi endings - Estimated time: ~2 hours
Optional Playthrough 3 - If pursuing the speedrun trophy, do a dedicated speedrun playthrough - Estimated time: ~2 hours
Speedrun Trophy
The Fleeting Visit trophy (Silver) requires finishing the game in under 4 hours. This is considered very lenient -- experienced players can complete the game in under 2 hours. The trophy does not require any specific ending.
