What the Official Descriptions Say
- Why he is on St. Amelia: Konami and the Steam listing say Simon is called back to the island to "put things right", finds a town lying quiet under heavy fog, and tries to understand his connection to the place and its people. The PlayStation Blog adds that he drifts through the cold sea and washes up on St. Amelia.
- The CRTV: The CRTV replaces the series' iconic radio. It is a pocket television that Simon holds in one hand to track nearby monsters, pick up story fragments and find puzzle clues by tuning into unstable analog signals.
- How he survives: The game is played entirely in first person. Simon has a limited set of weapons and tools, and can fight, flee or sneak past danger. Game Informer's review describes combat as heavily discouraged, with scarce ammunition and melee weapons that break quickly.
- Other characters: The PlayStation Blog mentions Zoe and Richard as characters connected to what happened in St. Amelia.
