Revision 1

Shorefront is a named region of St. Amelia, the island town where SILENT HILL: Townfall is set. Konami named it in the announcement that carried the game's 18-minute gameplay trailer, describing that footage as "Navigating the houses and apartments of the Shorefront region." Houses and apartments are the only thing said about what the region contains.

The trailer covers two sections of the game. Konami's own chapter markers for it name an opening, exploring the town using clues revealed by the CRTV, exploring Zoe's house, a first encounter, entering St. Amelia's Otherworld with a pistol in hand, and exploring a tenement building in the Otherworld. Konami has not said which of those chapters fall inside Shorefront, so only the houses and apartments can be placed there with confidence.

What Has Not Been Published

Nothing published sets Shorefront's boundaries, or places it against the pier, the town square or the high street. Whether Simon starts there, and whether the region is a distinct chapter or simply a name for a stretch of the town, are both open. This entry will only grow once the game is out or Konami names the region again.
