Jan. 2025

Silence is a pretty good point and click adventure game and a good sequel to the whispering world, so now the story, in a war-torn country two siblings Noah and Renie try to live their lives as normally as possible despite a war raging and being orphaned, Noah the eldest sibling is dedicated to protecting his little sister so when air raids start happening he immediately takes her to the bunker. Soon they are safe and Noah to distract his little sister from the grim reality outside he tells her a story about a world called Silence, a beautiful far away Kingdom, a world between life and death, but after the bunker collapses both him and his sister wake up in Silence, Noah vows to protect Renie and get them home, but by doing so may reveal some painful truths. So then the likes, the story is very good it has a sort of storybook kind of feel to it with its world and characters and it even has an evil queen like classic fairy tales, it also has very good themes of responsibility, protecting the ones you love and growing up. It also had some pretty heartfelt and emotional moments that almost made me teary eyed, I especially love that flying scene in chapter 3 it was both beautiful and heartfelt, there's also some pretty good twists and turns that were quite surprising. Also this game is a sequel to the whispering world but if you're wondering do you have to play the first game in order to get the story for this game, not really other than a few slight references to the first game the story does a good job in summarizing the first game’s story. The gameplay is good, it's your standard point and click game you know solve some puzzles, pick up items that sort of thing but one key element that makes the gameplay stand out is Spot. Spot is this cute little caterpillar creature that has the ability to change his shape, like he can flatten himself and become a bridge or become big so you can bounce on him, he was an interesting concept with a versatile set of powers that made you think how to use him. Also the gameplay is a good Improvement of the gameplay of the first game. The graphics is really good has a claymation/story book kind of look and feel to it, the claymation aspect with its characters and creature designs combined with the background that looks/feels hand drawn, both complement each other very well with its colors, designs and just the overall look, it's a huge improvement over the graphics of the first game and I like the first games graphics.The levels are all very good quite diverse with breathtaking locations that not only makes you just want to stop and stare and would make good wallpaper, it's just begging to be explored. The characters are okay and a bit of a mixed bag I like Renie she was quite adorable how she cares about everyone, but she can be a little bit frustrating but I guess that's with all kid characters. Noah was nice you definitely felt for him as he struggled to protect his sister in a strange world, I think my favorite character has to be Janus he has this sort of cool wise Mentor feel to him, but was quite funny at times. My least favorite character has to be Kyra she could come off as being a real jerk especially later down the line, don't get me wrong I definitely understand why she's doing what she's doing near the end of the game, but in the beginning she was unnecessarily a jackass. The monsters in the game The Seekers are really good they have a nice design that reminds me of No Face from Spirited Away. The music is fantastic with plenty of great tracks that really captures the mood of the game. The voice acting for the most part was pretty good, I will say the only problem with it was Renie's voice for the most part she has an American accent, but then in certain segments she suddenly develops a British accent it could be a bit jarring and definitely noticeable. So then the dislikes, some of the achievements for the game are a real pain, probably the worst two are Sherlock Holmes were you have to finish the game without using the snoopkey and fine listener were you have to finish the game without skipping a text. The Sherlock Holmes achievement was a pain because I accidentally used the snoopkey and since there's no manual saving I had to restart the game, then there’s fine listener is bugged because I definitely didn't skip anything in my first playthrough, even though you can't really skip cutscenes and stuff. But I was able to get the achievement on my second playthrough I just didn't touch any buttons when a cutscene or an animation was happening, also using a controller helped. Also there's no manual save which would have been real helpful in getting those achievements, finally the game ends on a cliffhanger, the game has two endings but each ending ends on a cliffhanger that to my knowledge hasn't been resolved yet. Okay now that I'm finished with that, Silence is a pretty good point and click adventure game and a good sequel to the whispering world, it has a very good story, good gameplay and really good graphics, so I definitely recommend getting this game but I do recommend having a bit of patience when trying to get all the achievements.

This point-and-click adventure game combines a touching story with stunning visuals. While its short playtime may leave you wanting more, the blend of fairy-tale imagination and harsh reality creates a subtle and lasting impression.

Dec. 2024

Fairly short, but nice art and bittersweet story. Unfortunately, there are enough references to A Whispered World that you'd want to play that game first, but I'm not sure it's good enough to justify playing both.

I don't really like point and click adventure games. All the ones i have played i got them in bundles with other games. I mean, they remind me a lot of exams where they give you a problem and they expect you to find the correct-fixed solution. This one i liked. The story isn't something special; don't expect much plot-wise. Graphics are not good but they have that cartoonish fairy tale style so they fit their purpose. Sound ok, nothing grand. It's a fairy tale. It has some smart and funny scenes, liking magic mushrooms and stuff and the riddles aren't hard so it flows vary nice. Small in duration but dense in joyful moments if you find it cheap it will give you 5+ hours of good time.

Silence. A grim fairytale in a colorful package. Liked this game a lot. Beautiful gfx and matching music. The characters are very likable with good animations and excellent voice overs. Most of the puzzles are quite easy, so don't expect too much of a challenge there. Besides the usual point'n click actions, there's also a few balancing minigames, but they aren't hard either. It's not a long game though. Can be finished in one evening, although that assumes you're not stuck on some of the puzzles and not trying out every funny or useless thing there's to do. Multiple full playthroughs required to get all achievements.
