How We Make Our Guides

Last updated: September 26, 2026

Written with AI, checked against sources

Our guides are researched and written with AI assistance, from public sources: other walkthroughs, trophy and achievement lists, official announcements and reviews. That makes the work faster; it does not make anything true. Every fact is checked against several independent guides and official sources before it goes up, and a fact that no source backs up is not published.

When sources disagree, we say so

Guides often disagree about a code, a count or where an item is. When they do, the page says what each source says instead of quietly picking one. In Silent Hill: Townfall, for example, one widely used guide gives 245 and 130 for the first control-room panel of Chapter 15, while five others read 254 and 103 off the in-game cameras; the page gives 254 and 103 and says where the other numbers come from.

Our own playthroughs

As we play, we add our own screenshots and what we find first-hand, starting with Silent Hill: Townfall. Anything that comes from our own playthrough is marked as such on the page, and pages written only from sources say so too.

What you will find at the bottom of a page

More than half of our pages end with a short note listing the sources the page was checked against, when, and where those sources disagree. We are adding it to the rest.

Found a mistake?

Tell us through the contact form and we will fix it. A reader's email about Silent Hill: Townfall is the reason every guide on the site was checked again, fact by fact, in September 2026.
