Silent Hill Downpour takes place in a previously unexplored section of the Silent Hill world, a portion of the world which has been visible on maps in previous games, but has remained unexplored thus far.
The new storyline introduces Murphy Pendleton, a convict stranded in the foggy, malevolent world of Silent Hill. Pendleton begins the game lost and alone in the woods on the outskirts of the fabled town, shortly after escaping from his wrecked prison transport bus.
