The story is also interesting with neat moments of humour to counter the pretty grim goings-on, and Joe makes a likeable protagonist. Items disappear immediately after one use despite occasionally being needed a minute later, like a crowbar or oil, and I'm not sure why you can't leave certain areas - for example when Joe ends up in front of the police station you're forced to hang around rather than just cross the street and run for it.Īt it's core The Silent Age is a simple adventure game that experienced gamers will probably breeze through, but the clever use of time travel forces the player to think in two different time periods at once and so it's never less than satisfying to solve the puzzles on offer. What's more annoying is the things you can't do. Based on the game play itself, 'Silent Age' is a somewhat typical, albeit quite well constructed, puzzle game.

Gameplay-wise, The Silent Age gets a lot of mileage out of Joe's time device. It's all rather simple once you've got mastery over time travel, although there are some real thinking-outside-the-box moments that were really satisfying to solve, like one involving an overgrown poison ivy bush that's almost a reference to Day of the Tentacle (which I highly suspect it is, given that game's similar twisted time travel tale and the appearance of a chainsaw without gasoline later on).

A nice simple start to a time travelling adventure.
