GN Version 5.0

Silver Falls is a quiet town high up in the mountains. If you need to take a weekend away from the city, come on up to Silver Falls! Enjoy the annual Moose Steak Festival. Hike through miles of dense mountain forest. Camp out with locals and other visitors over a bonfire and watch for the mysterious night lights that have recently been sighted in the mountains around town.

Strange lights have been appearing in the night sky above Silver Falls. When three mysterious objects fall from the sky, this secluded, sleepy town becomes frozen in a moment in time. Strange radiation has turned local wildlife bloodthirsty. Only 3 people in Silver Falls have survived being locked in a moment in time. Holt, a composer mourning the death of his grandfather with a fishing trip, Analise, an organizer for the annual Moose Steak Festival, and Moss, the local sheriff investigating reports of strange lights in the sky, must work together to figure out exactly what is going wrong in their town. Why are they being attacked by wildlife? Why is everyone else in town frozen in time? Using their wits and resources scavenged around Silver Falls, these three survivors must discover the mystery behind the three objects and return their town to normal.

Gameplay

Silver Falls – 3 Down Stars aims to bring a horrific thrill to players in the style of classic survival horror games from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Limited ammunition and recovery items make resource management an exciting challenge. Every fight with enemies can be a fatal encounter. Explore and search every corner of Silver Falls to discovery a variety of weapons. Depending on the player’s actions during the storyline of the game, the story will have vastly different outcomes. Locked in a single moment in time, various lives are in direct danger. By finding these endangered lives and finding a way to avoid fatalities, players can move the story forward and unravel the mystery of the 3 crashed objects.

‘Groundhod Day’ Effect

When player controlled characters are defeated by in-game enemies, the player is sent back to the beginning of the storyline of the game. However, major objectives that have been accomplished will not be reset and the items owned by the player will be maintained. The player can use this mechanic to affect the outcome of the storyline. In the context of the storyline of the game, the characters are aware of this phenomenon, relying on this mechanic to progress the story. This ‘cause and effect’ mechanism is directly tied to the problem solving and puzzles of the game.

Frontier Fighters Game Mode

Silver Falls offers a suspenseful, tensely paced Storyline Campaign for players looking for a classic, survival horror challenge. When players want to flex some muscle, the Frontier Fighters game mode features RPG style loot collecting, levelling up, skill customization, and weapon upgrading. This game mode allows the player to play short missions of varying difficulty. These action focused missions let players enjoy short bursts of action for gaming on the go. With a variety of playable characters to unlock, each with unique strengths and skills, players will find hours of thrilling action fight back waves of enemies, unlocking more missions, finding unique, legendary weapons, and powering up characters in Frontier Fighters.

Silver Fall: 3 Down Stars hits New 3DS on Dec. 26th, 2019 in North America, followed by a European release on January 9th, 2020.
