Introduction

Silent age is a point and click puzzle game, with a science fiction theme. It is a game that i have got through Chrono.gg a site that gives of great deals and offers two games for free if you have enough of there credits, which are earned daily, to purchase them. Regardless I got for free from Chrono and am going to state my thoughts upon it today in this article/post. In addition I will try to add insight about the game without spoiling anything about the story

This game is developed by a Danish indie studio called House on fire, it is created using the game engine Unity, Furthermore it is a 2d game with a unique simplistic art style.

Gameplay

The game-play here is simple too, like any point and click game so if you are familiar with the formula you can skip that part. First and foremost you click to the place on the ground to make Joe,the main protagonist, move to the clicked position.

You can double click to make him run to the position. Also you can tab anything for an interaction,

whether it is just given up more details using the object or taking it to use it in another thing, when there is a white text at the top left of the screen. these are the controls and they are used to be able to reach to the next required location in the narrative or to do a certain thing.(solving a puzzle).

Here is an advice for you try interacting with everything, adding to that you should also try using the items you carry with everything. The responses sometimes are hilarious, and they more often than not, amusing.

Optimization/Customization

There is not much optimization options in this game. Most of the optimization options are in the game launcher.whereas the rest of the customization is only the choice of languages. There are 7 languages that comes with the game, the ones that I recognize are: English, French, Russian, German, Italian and Spanish?(not sure about the Spanish one) https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmT813KjAz2M1uBnyQXQwqk1gG925hPZpeMkTUP1q8g2TF

This game is launched using a launcher which include a couple of options, these are: Screen resolution with quite some range form 640480 to 25601600 Windowed or fullscreen Graphics Quality only ranging from best and fastest Monitor selection for where the game is going to be played Inputs where controls can be changed	https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSGdvHk6ih9VYi1ZXZGhDoHkMjXTjNFP3petzofzAjF1T

Style

As mentioned before this game possess a sui generis art style, which is simplistic. it also has a decent soundtrack which is neat.

Story

The story is about a janitor working in a company that is concerned about national security. This guy is named Joe. The story beings when that janitor is requested by the manager, who i may add do not remember his name, to be promoted. as his colleague has left and a place is vacant. Thus Joe is ordered to take care of his and his leaving colleague Frank responsibilities, with no additional titles or pay. However some interesting stuff happens while Joe is investigating Frank's work area, which grants him a time travelling device. Then the story gains momentum from here on out.

Conculsion

This is a pretty good game,As it managed to keep me hooked through out the experience, however it is quite short only consisting of 10 chapters that i finished in about 5-6 hours. It priced at $10 and is available in steam, Android, Apple, Mac and Windows.
