Demo is out, very short but it looks good. Explains the connection to the first game

Really great job on VAs,animations and art, just protagonist face is a turnoff
He has this , I am pissed expression

Angst teenager

I am already ticked off. I detest games that have an impossible (to me) dexterity puzzle without an opt out button. I am trying to stand on the globe and I have been clicking and moving my mouse right and left and he always falls.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get off the globe?

Idon’t think you need to click on the mouse, just keep the bar stable in the center by moving the mouse some time

I will try it again. I have been trying to follow the arrow keys but he falls before I can move the mouse in the direction the arrow key goes. argh. I am frustrated. Thanks!

Beautiful! Loved the first Whispered World and this looks just as good. Can’t wait to play the whole thing.

Game is out.
A review:

Silence is a beautiful game that combines emotional themes with breath-taking art and music. It works fantastically as a cinematic experience and takes its players on a concise yet fun adventure, integrating puzzles along the way. Daedelic have done an excellent job exploring the space between life and death, touching on dark and abstract feelings in a delicate and thoughtful way. It’ll definitely be interesting to hear what fans of ‘The Whispered World’ make of this game, nonetheless, I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys this genre.

Is this straight sequel or a new story? I didn’t play The Whispered World that much, I never really got into it. Do I have to know The Whispered World story before playing this?

From what I gather from the demo it’s a sequel but you don’t need to play the first one. I think that’s the reason they took out the whispered World 2 part from the title and just called it silence.
The prologue part is basically a recap of the first game, it will however spoil the great ending of the first game.

Well having played the beta (about half of the full game) many months ago, i can say the plot of the first game is pretty central to whats going on and it does not go away. I do not get the name change, and while you technically dont need to play the first game, you could say that about anything.

Adventure game of the year maybe?

My opinion as of this moment: the qte’s, simplified exploration and inventory removal make this game a big step backwards for daedalic. I would like to happily be wrong about the final product.

Closing comment for a more mixed review since I already posetd a positive:

In order to get the most out of Silence, one must approach it as a narrative with light brain teasers that require patience. If that is in mind, then the time spent with this title is completely enjoyable. The world is alternately that of wonder and abject creepiness. It’s reminiscent of the best of ’70s and ’80s children’s cinema, like The Secret of Nimh. It embraces a youthful vigor while introducing and exploring adult concepts. Honestly, if this were cut into a movie, I would be first in line for a copy of my own. As a game, it can be tedious at times as success is mostly left to random bumping into the walls until the right thing happens. All in all, it’s easy to enjoy the Silence.
