The Silent Sky Part I Reviews

very good game

Great little game! Left me wanting more but I dont want to wait !

I read this is made by a solo indie developer, which make it more impressive in my book. This is a wonderful game, with amazing detailed hand drawn animations. The story unfolds at a good pace and the puzzles are not to tricky. I can't wait for part 2

This is my first point and click game and I have enjoyed it immensely. I especially enjoyed the puzzles and fun things you can do, even the main menu was clever in the way it was put together. I would recommend to anyone of any age.

I gotta say, for a project that was mostly done by one guy it is pretty impressive. The story is intriguing, the graphics are unique and easy on the eyes, the animations are smooth and the overall sound design including the voice acting is really well done. Simply put the game is a point and click adventure and a very simple one at that. The only problems I had with the game is some of the game mechanics are not fully explained to the player which can leave you stumbling around a bit before figuring out that you can do certain things e.g. you can right click on objects to examine them and find out crucial information that the main character needs and you can press H to highlight hot spots. Other than that the game is pretty easy overall so it shouldn't cause you too much trouble. The game is pretty short clocking in about 2 - 3 hours which makes sense since it is only part 1. But I can safely say that I am definitely intrigued and I am looking forward to the next part since those few hours were enjoyable. If you're looking for a simple, short, charming, point and click adventure game give this one a go, it is definitely worth it.

Awesome game! I am not too much of a "point and click" type of game fan, but this one has a very interesting story line. It has quite a unique art style, that I haven't encountered before and quite a different approach on how the puzzles can be solved. I wonder where the story will take us next on upcoming part II...By the way, be aware a little *SPOILER* (There is a secret that unfolds when you let SIIM fall a sleep, instead of getting up at the beginning)

Really enjoying it, like a young George Stobbart, Brings me back to the good old days of using your head :P

No. When you have to look up discussions to find the freaking MENU and what keys does what, that's some bad game "design". Not even separate sound sliders so you can decide to not hear wtf the VO's is mumbling or have you ears blown out by STUPID LOUD sound effects. (EDIT: Ok, so there is actually a way to select if you are adjusting Voice of Effects by moving the tune button. Nicely hidden)

The game is very short (it's a chapter), it felt more like a demo. Unfortunately the character doesn't move faster if you click twice, and you can't quick-exit from one scene to another. Those are things that could probably be edited, though.

*deep sigh* I so wanted to like this game. I really did. But it was impossible. Really was. 1. The real drag starts right from the opening screen. You are forced to hover and search the hidden menu items from the screen. I think that the developer thought it would be fun. Well it's bloody seriously NOT. 2. The game doesn't stretch to full screen properly, it leaves two thick bars on both sides of the screen. 3. Hotspots lack names. In the beginning, when there was need to put on some clothes, I clicked the shoes. The character blurts out: "I'll want to put on some clothes first" ... well okay, I'm sorry as heck that I didn't know that shoes are not clothes, and even if I'd been able to foresee that, I couldn't tell if I was clicking the shoes or the shirt, 'cause I didn't know where the hotstpot changes to another. 4. Voice acting was almost inaudible and the sound effects really loud, and there was no setting to adjust their volume separately. 5. When I finally decided to stand up from the bed, there was 3 or 4 hints as to what to do next. Like... seriously. I'm not 4 years old and I'm trying to play adventure game here. There's no need to hold my hand so tightly. And the next hints just came.... one... after....another.... ...and I couldn't know if the character was done talking or not. That was the time I hit the quit button and ran away from this game. I just couldn't take any more. On top of that, it costs over 10€ and it's only part 1. I don't even want to know how short it is for the price, but I really doubt that it justifies the expensive price tag.
