Silent Hill: Townfall uses an unusual manual save system. You can't simply open the menu and save your progress. Instead, you need to find a phone and call a specific number. You can use this system as many times as you want, so there's no need to rely entirely on autosaves. In this guide, we'll explain how to save manually in Silent Hill: Townfall, which number to dial, and how phone booths differ from regular landlines inside buildings.
To create a manual save, find any phone booth or regular landline and dial 100. Then confirm the number. If you're using a phone booth, press "OK." On a landline inside a building, press the # button instead. After making the call, the game will let you create a manual save.
Where to Find the Save Number
The game shows you the 100 combination almost immediately after the beginning of the game. The first phone booth is located in Town Square, which you'll reach shortly after starting. Nearby, you'll find the clue "100 — Save Yourself," which effectively explains how the manual save system works.It's worth remembering the number because there is no separate save option in the menu. Whenever you find a phone later in the game, simply dial 100.Image unavailable
How Many Times Can You Save?
There is no limit on manual saves. You can call 100 every time you find a new phone, so it's a good idea to save again before a difficult puzzle, dangerous section, or major fight.Phone booths can be found on the streets, but you don't need to look exclusively for them. Many buildings also contain regular landlines that work in exactly the same way.The only difference is how you confirm the number:
phone booth — enter 100 and press "OK";
landline — enter 100 and press #.
Should You Save Manually at the Beginning of the Game?
Yes. In fact, the first call to 100 is connected not only to saving but also to the story. When you reach the first phone booth and dial 100, a cutscene will begin, after which the character ends up in the Otherworld.Don't worry that you've accidentally left the current area for good. You'll return later, and this transition is a mandatory part of the story.Image unavailable
Does Silent Hill: Townfall Have Autosaves?
Silent Hill: Townfall does have autosaves, but you shouldn't rely on them completely. The game lets you manually record your progress whenever there's a phone nearby, so it's worth taking advantage of this before potentially dangerous sections.Separate manual saves are especially useful during repeat playthroughs and before actions related to different endings. This way, you won't have to replay a large section of the game if you want to change a decision or return to an earlier point.
