The Silent Age is a good point & click game. It's a great story, the puzzles are not too difficult to solve, the graphics are nice and the ambiant is weird. I recommend it!!! 💗💗💗

This adventure? It's the storytelling equivalent of a perfectly pulled pint. Let me break it down for ya. The protagonist isn't some muscle-bound idiot who can only communicate through grunts and explosions. No, this is a character you might actually want to have a conversation with - imagine that! And the time travel storyline? It's not some brain-melting quantum physics nightmare that'll make Stephen Hawking roll in his grave. It's coherent. The humor? Subtle. Not like those desperate comedy games that are basically the interactive equivalent of your uncle trying to be "down with the kids". This is clever writing that'll make you do that little snort-laugh - you know the one. Gameplay is straightforward. Point. Click. Done. The puzzles are logical - shocking concept, I know! You won't be frantically Googling walkthroughs or contemplating throwing your controller through the window. Graphics? Look, they're not going to make you weep tears of technological joy. But they do something clever - they use time travel to show you different versions of the world. It's like watching yourself age, but significantly more entertaining and with less existential dread. And for you achievement hunters? You've got more flexibility than a yoga instructor. Replay chapters? Easy as pie. Miss something? No problem! It's like they actually thought about the player's experience. Overall rating: Pretty decent. It's not the second coming of gaming Jesus, but not the digital equivalent of a car crash either.

It is a short, but pretty sweet, game if you have a history in point and click adventures. The story keeps you pretty interesting, although at the end it isnt the strongest one you have ever played. Still a decent game in 2024, so if it is on sale or you just have the cash to buy it and want to have 3 hours of PnC fun, go for it!

6.5/10 Solid Media Played this game on mobile a few years ago. Decided to get it and play though it again. People's complaints about the back and forth nature of this game are legitimate. I think you can write this off since that is often how things go with point and click puzzle games. The selling point is really the stylized atmosphere. The story itself is good with a twist I wasn't expecting. Best experienced if you have an hour to play through the whole game in one sitting.

Aug. 2024

I enjoyed it, with a few caveats, the play did feel very linear and some of the solutions I would never have thought of so I had to rely on a walkthrough from time to time. There are not multiple options for how to do something. That being said, I want to encourage more games like this that focus on the plot without having to worry about combat everywhere.
