Pleasant surprise
Great little puzzler point and click! Once I started I couldn’t put it down until I finished it (and its sister game- ‘Sand’) a few hours later… puzzles were the perfect amount of challenging; rarely too easy, very occasionally too difficult but the unlimited progressive tips provided gave ample assistance to get past any hurdles and continue gameplay. If only more games in this genre were so well thought out, well written and well executed! Impressive work devs! Much appreciated :-)

derivative
Some of the puzzles I think were WAY too hard, but they were generally interesting. It was really annoying having to click sometimes three to four times just to reach a place already visible. The story itself was boring, there was no growth and plays into annoyingly repeated story arcs: white saviour, devious asian woman who seduces the saviour in order to use him and “cursed” treasure that kills everyone who touches it… there are better point and click puzzle games out there which are free.

Great art, lackluster story and puzzles
I enjoyed Sand, but Silk was a bit of a slog. The puzzles are all pretty basic and similar, and the play is limited (meaning not a lot of moving around to figure things out, limited clickable areas). The best thing is the clean artwork and the sound design. The storyline is corny and outdated, with a square-jawed white man visiting a madam in China and taking on a mysterious young woman sidekick in an exotic land. Gave weird regressive vibes that detracted from the gameplay. There are some fun possibilities with the use of maps and potions and cool locations, so I hope the developers push more in that direction and have more fun with the characters rather than going for crusty tales of colonial-style intrigue. The game definitely looks great.

Great but with issues
Firstly this game has a really good plot, the visuals seem quite pretty and non ai (which I’m thankful for) and the puzzles are intriguing and they actually make you think which i haven’t experienced with a puzzle game for a while :). My main issue is that I was stuck on a level for a good amount of time and I tried to find any type of walkthrough or guide on the internet as the instructions from the game weren’t really helpful for that level and the walkthrough was only for levels 1-6 and thats it! so I tried to contact the game developer who was quite helpful and supportive with the issue, but by that point my game started bugging/ freezing and I had to reset all my progress :(. Luckily that fixed the bugs but I was disheartened nonetheless. so
!!!!LEVEL HELP +SPOILER!!!!
so if your stuck in the level which needs you to collect the scrolls for the potion/concoction the last scroll is on the middle table on the upper right part of the screen where two papers are hanging one of the papers is the scroll :)

Perfectly balanced, great game
I’ll just list what I love
1. They give you a great experience before asking for basically nothing for the full game
2. The art is amazing
3. The puzzles are perfectly balanced. Not too easy and not too hard. It’s great.
4. The story is engaging and the cut scenes give you a perfect amount of story and info, no fluff.
Great game. I wish I found it sooner. Great work
