About

Step into the eerie world of Ayasa, a dark tale that blends quests, horror, and puzzles into a haunting journey. Without a single spoken word, the story is told through pantomime, surreal imagery, and a soundtrack composed by Komitas.
You will navigate six symbolic lands Faith, Hope, Love, Greed, Indifference, and Betrayal each corrupted by darkness. Every choice you make, every act of compassion or indifference, may lead to an unexpected ending. Will you restore balance or become the very force you sought to defeat?

Story:
The Inverted World was once in balance, where light and shadow coexisted under the watch of Tas, the Absolute. But now, war has shattered that harmony. As darkness spreads, Ayasa must journey through lands ravaged by greed, betrayal, and indifference, seeking the remnants of Tas’s light hidden within the realms of love, faith, and hope. This is not just a quest to survive it is a war of the soul, where the battlefield lies within.

СКАМ НА ДЕНЬГИ Игра сломана настолько, что едва ли играбельна! Звуки пропадают, анимации ужасные. Несколько раз Аяса застревала, и мне приходилось выходить в меню. Кнопки не срабатывают, камеру бывает колбасит так, что можно словить приступ тошноты. Даже, блин, ачивки и те сломаны. В этой игре, если что-то работает, то, вероятнее всего, это баг разработки Вышло обновление от 03.02.2026. Если быть кратким, стало только хуже. Больше нет демаджа с падения с высоты, момент в начале с закрытием крысы в клетке стал практически непроходимым (я прошел этот момент когда крыса пролетела сквозь меня), при падении в воду загружай кт в ручную, так как ты не умрешь, а просто будешь бегать под водой, для открытия дверей уже не нужно ничего делать, они и так открыты, ачивки все также не выпадают и тд и тп. Из плюсов по всюду насрали пропами, чтобы было не так пусто и шелкуны стали медление Мое прохождение только что закончилось. В мире войны после конвейера стоит невидимая стена. Класс Aya, очень хорошо
Je ne peux pas recommander le jeu en l'état. Les ennemies buggé a mort, qui t'arrive dessus à la vitesse de la lumière car ils t'ont vue de à l'autre bout de la map sans raison. Les bug de colision, la gestion de la profondeur calamiteuse qui te fait tomber 9 fois sur 10. Les temps de chargement horriblement long... C'est vraiment dommage car l'ambiance du jeu à l'air prometteur. Dommage car le jeu à l'air vraiment prometteur dans l'ambiance des rare jeu Little Nightemare, Limbo and co. A voir avec la grosse maj qu'ils promettent prochainement s'il sauve leur jeu.
Look, I’ll be honest this game grabbed me by the collar right from the start. It’s not your typical “run, jump, kill” kind of thing. Ayasa: Shadows of Silence feels like stepping into a dark fairy tale one where you’re not sure if you’re the hero or just another piece in someone else’s story. What I loved The atmosphere is chef’s kiss. Imagine walking through a forest where the trees whisper secrets, and every shadow feels like it’s watching you. The lighting is moody, the sound design is haunting (those distant howls still give me goosebumps), and the music? It’s like someone took sadness and turned it into piano notes. You’re never truly alone here even when there’s no one around. Visual storytelling is top-notch. The devs didn’t spoon-feed me the plot. Instead, they let the world speak for itself. A pile of bones here, a half-burnt painting there it all adds up to something bigger. I found myself stopping just to stare at the scenery, wondering, “What happened here?” Enemy design is unsettling in the best way. These aren’t generic monsters. They’re twisted, nightmarish things that feel like they crawled out of someone’s worst dreams. One creature in particular a tall, skeletal figure with too many joints still makes me hesitate before entering certain areas. Where it stumbles Controls can be… finicky. There were moments when I’d try to jump onto a ledge, and Ayasa would either overshoot it or refuse to jump at all. It felt like the game was saying, “Nope, not today,” just as I was about to make a cool leap. Frustrating? Absolutely. But not enough to make me quit. Some puzzles left me scratching my head. Not in a “Oh, that’s clever!” way, but more like “Wait, what am I supposed to do here?” A few sections felt less like a challenge and more like the game forgot to explain the rules. The story starts strong but gets murky. The opening cutscene is stunning —a world going from lush greenery to ash in seconds. But then the narrative kind of… drifts. I wanted more context, more why, but the game seemed content to let me piece it together myself. Which is fine, but sometimes I just wanted a little nudge. The little things that stuck with me That moment when the music drops out completely, and all you hear is your character’s breathing. Terrifying. Finding a small, glowing flower in a pitch-black cave. It felt like a tiny victory. The way light filters through the trees in certain areas it’s beautiful, even when everything else is horrifying. Who should play this? If you love games that: Make you think, not just react. Have a strong sense of place (this world feels alive). Don’t hold your hand you’re expected to explore and fail a bit. Prioritize mood over flashy action. …then Shadows of Silence will sink its claws into you. Final thoughts This isn’t a perfect game. It has rough edges, moments where I wanted to throw my controller, and parts that left me confused. But it also has soul. It’s the kind of game that lingers in your head after you turn it off the kind you think about during quiet moments. Would I recommend it? Yeah, but with a caveat: go in expecting to be uncomfortable. Go in ready to get lost. And if you can handle that, you might just find something special.
A beautiful horror platformer with a dark, mysterious atmosphere that kept me interested from start to finish. The music is excellent and perfectly matches the mood, while the sense of mystery makes exploration enjoyable. There are some bugs and technical issues, but it's clear the developers are working hard to fix them and improve the experience. Overall, a memorable and atmospheric adventure that horror fans should check out. 8/10.
Das Spiel sieht sehr schön aus, düstere Atmosphäre und Stimmung. Du bist eine junge Frau (hier im Text in der "Ich-Form" geschrieben) und läufst in einer zerstörten Erde von links nach rechts, aber auch nach vorne und in die Tiefe nach hinten. Zu sehen gibt es alte Koffer, Überreste der Menschen, überwiegend deformiert, die dich fangen wollen oder fressen. Hierzu gibt es Fluchtpassagen, die aber nicht sehr schwer sind, wenn man weiß was zu tun ist. Und hier fängt mein Problem mit dem Spiel an. Einen Abgrund bin ich etwa 5x runtergestürzt, bis ich herausfand, das ich hier eine "magische" Gabe einsetzen muss. Auch der erste Sprung am Anfang des Spiels hat nach etwa 5 Versuchen erst geklappt. Und so wurde der Spielspaß immer weniger wegen der vielen Trial -and Error Passagen. Mir ist aber bewusst, das solche Spiele eben auch durch dieses herausfinden "wie", funktionieren, sollte aber meiner Meinung nach nicht übertrieben werden. Gesucht hatte ich auch nach versteckten Sammelobjekten, entweder fand ich keine oder es gibt keine. Ist aber nicht Abwertend, nicht jedes Spiel braucht welche. Als ich eines in einer Höhle hinter einem Wasserfall vermutete, starb ich darin - nun ja, die Rücksetzpunkte sind fair gesetzt. Edit: Laut Forum gibt es, so glaube ich, verschiedene Enden, die man durch erreichen bestimmter Tätigkeiten, oder entdecken geheimer Orte freischaltet. Jetzt bin ich nach 83 Minuten Spielzeit an einer Holzkiste durch die ich durchlaufen kann. Hier komme ich jetzt nicht mehr weiter leider. Aus Frust bin ich im Spiel über das Geländer gesprungen und landete frei im unteren Level wo ich durch die Luft gelaufen bin über den Häuserdächern hinweg - schöne Aussicht, trotzdem schlecht. Edit: Mit Hilfe eines Videos bin ich nun weiter gekommen, die Lösung war nicht ganz offensichtlich, aber ok. Trotzdem verwirrend das man durch die Kiste laufen konnte. Im Hauptmenü angekommen, gibt es übrigens keine Level Auswahl, zumindest sah ich keine. (Vielleicht kommt noch eine) Auch gibt es keine Grafikeinstellungen. Spiel lief aber flüssig, bin hier über die Hardware Anforderungen. Gespielt habe ich mit dem X-Controller. Wie am Anfang schon beschrieben, Atmosphäre, Stimmung und Grafik sind sehr schön gemacht, am Ende kann ich es bis jetzt nur bedingt empfehlen. Edit: Nach etwas mehr als 4 Stunden kam der Abspann. Gefallen hat es mir gut, obwohl ich viele Tode starb bei vielen Versuchen manche Szene zu schaffen. Dennoch hat mich die düstere Stimmung und tolle Grafik bei Stange gehalten. Das Ende ist für mich gut abgeschlossen, obwohl ich rein gar nichts verstanden habe. Negativ ist mir noch aufgefallen, das es manche Nachlade Ruckler gab, einige Spawn Punkte doch etwas weit waren und ich nur durch den Task Manager den Abspann verlassen konnte.
After the last update I finally understand the main story better. The world and atmosphere are really unique. It turned into a great game.
Really enjoying the updates! The game feels much smoother now, and many of the issues I noticed before have been fixed. The atmosphere, music, and art are amazing. Great job by the developers!
If you loved games like Little Nightmares or Inside, you’ll likely love this. It’s a "vibe" game through and through. It’s not about getting a high score; it’s about the somber, quiet journey of a girl trying to carry the last shards of light through a world that’s given up on itself. My Take: Play it with headphones, in the dark, and be patient with the puzzles. The ending you get based on how much compassion you show is worth the occasional clunky jump.
What’s great: Story & themes: A haunting tale of loss and identity told through environmental clues and fragmented memories. Subtle, ambiguous, and thought‑provoking. Atmosphere: Stunning hand‑painted visuals, muted colour palette, and eerie sound design create a dreamlike sense of isolation. Gameplay: Gentle puzzles (light/sound manipulation) and stealth sections complement the contemplative pace. Minimalist interface keeps you immersed. Accessibility: Options for puzzle hints and movement speed broaden appeal without diluting challenge. What could be better: Pacing: Some mid‑game sections feel slow due to repetitive exploration. Interaction depth: Limited mechanics may disappoint players seeking complex gameplay. Ambiguity: Open ending leaves major questions unanswered rewarding for some, frustrating for others. Verdict: A poetic, visually striking experience for players who value emotional storytelling and atmospheric world‑building. Not for everyone, but deeply rewarding for the right audience.
Ayasa Shadows Of Silence has some flaws, but it leaves a strong impression. It is the sort of game that lingers in your thoughts long after playing. I wrapped it up just yesterday. Still, certain scenes and puzzles keep coming back to me. If you can settle into its unhurried rhythm and enigmatic feel, you will uncover something truly worthwhile.
