Leave a Review The Silent Age
Now my favorite mobile game
I’ve played a lot of "creepy" point-and-click games lately, but usually the gore or spooky elements just feel tacked on for shock value, which tends to wear off quickly. The Silent Age is genuinely disquieting. That’s thanks to excellent pacing in the storytelling, the eerie minimalist score, and the emotive voice acting. The graphics are simple enough that you can see everything (and easily navigate the world) on mobile, but they’re beautifully rendered, with impressive naturalistic touches, such as the way the main character runs a hand through his hair when the player is idle. The puzzles are really fun, but rather than speeding through the cutscenes to get to the next puzzle, I was actually invested in the story. The second chapter was worth every penny. I hope more mobile games start following this pricing structure: get people hooked with a free intro, have them pay for the rest, and keep it ad-free. All in all, a perfect game.Show lessJ4hen35
Interactive game with fun puzzles
I never figured out to work the sound, but that didn't prevent me from thoroughly enjoying the game! Playing an episode a night as a wind down routine was super satisfying. In the first episode I got stuck quite a few times because you often didn't know which objects were interactive and which weren't. But once I got hang of the play mechanics, I learned to enjoy Joe's snarky and simple voice. He's not exactly a character you grow to love- he feels like your introverted uncle you see at family gatherings. It was a fun week playing the first and second episodes!Show lessJulie Macaroni
Great to play time and again.
First off, I was a huge fan of Myst and Riven. Interactive puzzles that require attention without jarring immediacy. So finding The Silent Age was solid for me. I enjoy the colorful settings and the not-so-obvious clues. The other fun is attempting to do things I know I shouldn’t just to see the responses.
TSA is not a long game. It is easy to set down and pick up later. And that’s what I do. Without being too intense I actually managed to finish chapter 2 in about 3 hours leisurely making my way through it. In about 2 months I will likely play part one again.
Games like this take a good amount of world building and planning, and I know the devs don’t ask for much in return. Though I do hope to find a similar game to play soon.Show lessDecibolic
Wish I could have the full experience.
This game was a whole MIX of emotions and that’s the reason why I love it! It’s humorous, scary and much more it really makes you feel like your there. The designs of the game is very fitting and I love the backstory and the main character, the characters don’t act like some lifeless robot they all have their own personalities and traits which is why this game is unique. But of course all things come with a price sadly… It just honestly felt so short? The gameplay was fun and I loved solving the puzzles and putting everything together as it all unravels and slowly makes more sense but it all just flashed by! It was maybe like an hour of gameplay which honestly isn’t that long if you have a lot of spare free time and it made just game me the feelings of being unsatisfied as how short the free bits of the game was. I have also read some other ratings and it seems that if you pay for the 2nd chapter it’s basically as short as the 1st chapter which is kind of a waste if your looking for longer gameplay especially if your paying for it. Overall though I think this game is amazing.Show lessLeafz🍃
Probably one of my favorite games
I bought the rest of the game, which was only around $4.99 i believe. Some people say its not worth the money, but i was so sucked into the game that I have no regrets.
The story is amazing and unique, and the dialogue is great, too. Some of the things the main character, Joe, says made me laugh a little because he basically called me stupid for doing the wrong thing. I love the art style, music, and the fact that it isn't too difficult and not too easy.
I was a little disappointed when it ended though, it felt kind of rushed. I hope there will be some kind of sequel or a similar game after this, it was truly great :)Show lessLynch, Amaya
Finally - a game for adults
Enjoyed this game thoroughly. I thank the creators for not going with silly kiddie fluff or "dumbing down" their creation. The design and story are simple but sophisticated; the soundtrack so eerie it gave me goosebumps and, best of all, it required me to think. Yay! This was one of those rare occasions when I'm happy I spent the money and paid for the app - it was worth it. I'm now going to see if these guys have any more games.
*** So, five(?) years later and I just played it again. It's still an edgy, erie experience. Silent age is both art and entertainment. The simplicity of graphics and music make it timeless ...Show lessNnnsddjfrjk
One of my favorite games ever
I got this game back when I was in high school just as the 2nd episode was coming out. I have since spent the past 8 years RAVING about the game, the design, the storytelling, the music- everything. The ending was so well done (from what I can remember) but the only issue was I could not for the life of me remember the name. I finally was talking about it with my dad and he looked it up just based on my description and lo and behold, here we are. I can’t wait to redownload it and rediscover this incredible story. Great work!Show lessalkarad
Amazing point and click game with great plot
I loved this game. I do feel like it could have been a little longer for the cost, but I’m not complaining. I blazed through it in about 2 days because it was so much fun. The plot was interesting and unique and really had me fascinated. The ending/epilogue left something to be desired? But maybe the anti climactic end represents how joe just goes on with a normal mundane life afterwards. Almost feels like there’s room for a sequel? With archon having worked on something nefarious in the 40 years joe was asleep. Either way, one of the best apps I’ve played!Show lessava.ks
Beautiful game! Just a few flaws.
This game is incredibly well animated with a very intriguing plot. The puzzles can get pretty hard! I love this style of game and would love to see more from this developer. My only issues with the game are the contradictions and sometimes the puzzles just make no sense. Joe can get pretty annoying as you try to fiddle items around with other objects, often saying that it was a dumb idea. How was I supposed to know it wasn’t going to work?? I saw another review saying the same thing about the contradictions, such as Joe saying he doesn’t want to go into the sewer water, and then later does so with no hesitation. All in all, however, this game is beautiful and worth the play. But for $5, I wish chapter two was slightly longer :/Show lessVanilla Violet
One of the best games I’ve ever played
Not kidding, I think this game is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s simple to figure out, you can connect an Xbox controller and play, and it is just an all around fun experience. Definitely the best mobile game I’ve ever played. There were no ads or interruptions or anything, the only thing that I didn’t like is that you had to buy the second chapter. Even though you have to pay for the second chapter, the first chapter was still hella fun. At first, I thought the first chapter was going to be a demo and the only point of it was just make you get a feel for the game, but it legit took me an hour to complete, and I loved every second of it.Show lessb:r:u:h
