This game is currently in the Humble Choice for February 2024, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before March 5th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A unique art style… just unique.
Children of Silentown is a game where players take on the role of Lucy who lives in a little village, where strange things are going on. It sounds like people are disappearing and Lucy is having nightmares but it’s not clear why. The gameplay is done in a point-and-click adventure style where Lucy has to explore the world and solve a variety of tasks from helping her mother cook to getting groceries.
But that’s kind of a problem, in the first hour, I feel like nothing happened and while there’s a big mystery, the gameplay lacks anything interesting. This is a simple point-and-click puzzle game but even there, the solutions are rarely unique or deep, if anything they force players to click on everything and hope they find something interactive. There’s a strange song mechanic but nothing gripped me in that first hour, and the art style is… I mean you can see it, this is strange, right?
Pick this up if you want a point-and-click adventure game. People do seem to like the story here, but I’m not sure why, and honestly, I don’t feel like returning. The graphics don’t help the game, though I’ve heard people praise them, I have no clue what they’re talking about. Ultimately this just feels weak for the point-and-click genre and doesn’t have a story that I feel like I have to discover, so I won’t.
