Silent Hill: Townfall's setting is modeled on Scottish village St. Monans

Screen Burn, the Scotland-based studio behind Silent Hill: Townfall, confirmed that the game's fictional town of St. Amelia draws heavily on St. Monans, a real coastal village near Edinburgh. A CNET writer visited the actual location, finding it a cheerful tourist spot with cafes and old harbor boats, in stark contrast to the fog-shrouded, empty streets depicted in the game's trailer.
