![]() ![]() I did have a slight annoyance - clicking through the text, I would accidentally skip over dialogue sometimes if the dialogue was one word and I clicked too fast. I was very happy with the movement - it's very simple point and click, and unlike (it seems like) a lot of games I've tried lately, it doesn't force a slowed speed on you to stretch out the gameplay (which more often than not succeeds in making the game feel tedious and annoying, NOT "longer and worth more money" as I'm assuming is the hoped for goal of the people doing that?) Double clicking made you run faster. Graphics were nice and helped demonstrate how having an interesting story can absolutely make up for a lack of 'fancy' in the graphics department - not that the graphics weren't good, in fact they were bright and pretty and I liked the contrast between past and future - but they were definitely of a simplified style, including for example faceless characters - but even so I grew attached to the protagonist, and got very good ideas of the personalities of all the others, just based on the story (oh, and the excellent voice acting!

I'm not terribly good at puzzle games so there were a couple times where I finally had to give up and go look up what I needed to do - but honestly for me, that's actually pretty good! So I enjoyed a game where if I looked around and thought about it enough, I could figure out what to do with what without needing help. I picked this up mostly at random during the most recent Steam sale and I quite enjoyed it. 10 chapters with unique locations, characters, and puzzles.This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.A seamless interface that makes you feel like you’re there.Clever puzzles requiring time travel and specific items to solve.Complex characters, each with their personality and agenda.Thrilling adventure with a deep story that captivates from beginning to end.Bold, stylish, and minimalistic artwork presented in stunning Ultra HD.Character voiceovers bring the story and characters to life.Use your portable time travel device to solve puzzles that bring you closer to answers and saving humanity.Īpplauded for its deep story, clever puzzles, and radically simple navigation and art style, The Silent Age is an unforgettable experience.Ĭan you, a simple janitor and literally, the average Joe, save humanity?
