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 The storyline is corny and outdated, with a square-jawed white man visiting a madam in China and taking on a mysterious young woman sidekick in an exotic land.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

Atmospheric story and great puzzles
I loved the orientalness of this game with its music and story and puzzles
Indiana Jones adventure..
I enjoyed this..It’s lengthy enough..took me a couple days to finish..The storyline was great and easy to follow..Puzzles aplenty..; with an easy version, instead of skip option.
..It reminded me of an Indiana jones story line..

Ok puzzles but story was lacking
I love these types of games generally but the story was kind of annoying. Didn’t really make sense except in an extremely colonial way. If you just want the puzzles it’s fun but not as good as other story and puzzle point-and-clicks out there that are the whole package. Not really worth the cost to me. If the clueless British man charging in to be the hero in a random country he claims to know a lot about but doesn’t seem to at all angle was more tongue in cheek I’d have enjoyed it but it just didn’t really even make the story make sense the way it was. Ok but disappointing.

Bug Issue
In the library, having done all the book puzzles and picked up the Sir Francis’ boom about Imperial palaces, the game has frozen. Nothing I do can unfreeze and the game is stuck at the scene where the books are in size order. Please fix this bug.
loved it overall!
i really enjoyed this game! i just loved knowing that the art was hand drawn and its graphic novel style — seriously that's so impressive in and of itself. as far as gameplay, i was hooked from start to finish. the puzzles were challenging enough and i loved the wide variety of them which made it hard to put down. i finished it in a few hours. as far as the story, it was engaging, though i found the white guy in china/white savior setup both cliché and problematic. there were also several typos that were annoying when reading. i would love the option to go back to re-read if you accidentally tap and miss some of the story (which i did several times).
all that said, and despite the issues i had, this was a very enjoyable game that i would recommend to anyone that enjoys a good puzzle or escape game. really hoping another installment in this series is in the works!

Only 2 dollars?! That's unfair
I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the backstory of this game. It should be worth more than two dollars!
To the game's developer, please keep making games and never stop.

I’m curious
Does your game use AI art?
Ai slop
Come on bro
lame
as a chinese speaker i can tell at a glance that the scenes are ai generated, and i really hate that. also why a game like this dont support for Chinese?! and the transitions between scenes are soooooo laggy, overall the experience just didn’t convince me to buy the full version. good tho, cuz i can already imagine how much this game will be like a western fantasy version of China

Water room stuck, have hammer and black pearl. Can’t open panel above door.
Don’t see where the flower petals are can’t press correct order of buttons. Frustrating
Great but….
Really enjoying this but now I am stuck! The map fragments in the cube (only 3 in the easy option) what am I supposed to do with them?

После почти минут игры заставляет купить полную версию. Нам такое не надо
Silk- A Leo Parker Advenure
Игра классная, жаль платная, не все могут заплатить, а так молодцы, редко встречаются хорошие игры
No disclosure of AI art usage
I enjoyed the puzzles, but it is very obvious that the game uses AI art for the majority of the scenes. It’s a downgrade from the previous game and extremely misleading to describe the art in the game as hand drawn.
Beautifully Crafted
For $1.99 this might be my best game purchase EVER!!! I usually don’t care to review stuff but the music and ambiance mixed with the really challenging puzzles made it super fun and 100% worth it. The lore in Chinese and the specific Chinese puzzles (like rearranging the pictures) are wonderful and reminded me of the puzzles I’ve seen on my trip to China as a kid
