Jogo muito bom que eu lembro da época do flash, mas a história é relativamente curta

I can't remember too much about it, but I remember really liking the style of this adventure game. It had a kind of 70s meets post-apocalypse vibe that you don't find that often. I thought it was pretty cool.

It's sad that the devs made a masterpiece and stopped making games since then. I played this "gem" twice.

Fascinating music effects 🎶🎵
Thrilling story
Attractive art style 🖌️ 🎨
Natural Voice acting 🗣
Different kind of point and click gameplay style.

Bastante regular, es una historia de viajes en el tiempo donde podes ir moviendo entre el presente y el futuro para ir resolviendo los puzles, hay algunos que son intuitivos otros que me costaron mas pero al final no fue una volada de cabeza.
La historia esta bien pero la siento muy desaprovechada, como aventura grafica esta medio pelo 4/10

A veces me pregunto si solo yo recuerdo este juego.
Tiene buena jugabilidad y una historia bastante disfrutable.
Más gente debería conocerlo.

The Silent Age is a point-and-click adventure developed by House on Fire and firstly released on mobile devices, then later updated for PC in 2013.

You follow a story of a janitor named Joe Smith who you take control of. One day while he was doing his usual work he found a blood trail that lead him to Dr. Lambert. As he was fatally injured, he soon started saying that he came from the future and that he was trying to stop an exctinction event that will occur, but he didn't make it. So he gave to Joe tha task to go to the younger version of Dr. Lambert and to tell him about the today's event. So he gave Joe a small device that will help him to jump between two set times, Joe's present time and 40 years in the future (from where Dr. Lambert came).
As you soon realize this short, 3 hours long (10 chapters) story is full of small puzzles that has to be solved to get to your final destination. Giving players the possibility to use the time device to not only pass some locked objects that in the future aren't locked, but also to get items and use them in different time periods which adds depth to puzzle solving.
Graphically the game for what it is it's okay, nothing outstanding, the story is also decent enough while the ending was more interesting.
The only thing I disliked apart from how short the story is, is that when entering the game you're always prompted with a window where you have to decide at which resolution you want to play the game. But after entering the game again, the same will be asked to choose even though you have already done that before, the game doesn't save the previously chosen settings, fortunately, you'll probably be prompted with that window once or twice, since you will finish the story pretty quickly.

All in all, a decent point-and-click adventure, a pretty short one indeed, but it offers great usage of the time device when puzzle solving.
