Silent Hill Townfall Good Ending: Which Ending Is Best?
Updated 2026-10-30 · Category: Endings
The good ending in Silent Hill: Townfall is Justice. Guides label it the good or best ending, Forever the normal one and Abandoned the bad one. Justice needs a hidden score of 20 or more: +1 for every document or clue, −2 for every enemy Simon kills, −4 for every cannula refill and −3 for every mistake in Zoe's Chapter 7 surgery. Officially no ending is canon, but Justice is the only main ending where the loop breaks for both Simon and Zoe. It awards the gold trophy For St. Amelia and is reachable on a first run.

The labels come from players and guides, not from the game. Power Up Gaming lists Justice as the good ending and Abandoned as the bad one, and FinalBoss calls Justice the safest "best ending" target. The game itself never ranks them.
How to get the good ending
Full Justice route and kill budget
Chapter 7 surgery answers (no mistakes)
Every document, chapter by chapter
- Pick up every document and clue you pass. Each one is +1, and a full run has 85.
- Sneak past enemies as Simon instead of fighting. Each Simon kill is −2.
- Avoid dying. A cannula refill after death costs 4 points, twice a kill.
- Take Zoe's Chapter 7 surgery slowly and read every value from the laptop. Each mistake is −3.
- Fight freely as Richard in Part 5. Kills as Zoe or Richard do not count.
- Make a manual save in Chapter 15 before you print the Clamp Release Procedure, so a near miss can be fixed without a new run.

Spoilers for the ending. Justice is the only main ending in which Simon accepts his share of the blame, Zoe's locked door finally opens and the loop ends for both of them. In Forever, Simon cannot let go and wakes back at the start; in Abandoned he chooses revenge and nothing is resolved.
It is not a happy ending in the usual sense: the real-world epilogue is costly for Simon. "Good" here means the honest outcome, the one the scoring rewards for reading the town's story instead of killing your way through it.
Is the good ending the true ending?
Not officially. Producer Motoi Okamoto said the team does not designate any single ending as the true canon ending, and there is no hidden "true" route beyond the five.
If you want the outcome most players treat as the intended one, Justice is the target. If you want every ending, the platinum needs all five anyway.
What gives you the bad ending instead
- Fighting everything in the boss arena as Simon: each of those kills is −2
- Dying repeatedly: every cannula refill is −4
- Guessing in Zoe's surgery: each wrong reading or dose is −3
- Rushing past documents: with few Discoveries, a handful of kills drops you below 0 and into Abandoned
Healing items, playtime, difficulty and dialogue choices do not change which main ending you get.
Getting the good ending after missing it
There is no chapter select, so the fix is your manual saves. Reload the Chapter 15 save, pick up any documents you skipped and avoid the arena kills. If that is not enough, the Chapter 10 save in Clara Woods leaves more documents and enemies in play.
The two joke endings need New Game Plus, but they do not replace the main ending: your score still decides between Justice, Forever and Abandoned on every run.
