About

William is a young writer in search of his first literary success. He travels to a distant abbey, shrouded in a vow of silence. Among thick stone walls and unspoken secrets, William slowly immerses himself into the life of the abbey and its silent inhabitants.
What begins as a search for inspiration soon turns mysterious, leading William to uncover not just a story to tell, but a secret that was never meant to be discovered.

Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence is a classic 90s-style point & click adventure featuring dark, detailed pixel art, environmental puzzles, and a deep narrative with touches of black humor.
Explore the abbey, solve mysteries using the items you find along the way, and uncover the secrets hidden within its silent walls.

Mystery of Silence is the first game in the Scholar Adventure saga, created and developed solo by Ayose Trujillo, with music and sound design by Antonio Vozmediano.
With an approximate playtime of 2 to 3 hours, the game is a tribute to classic adventure games, where the experience lies in exploring, discovering, and solving puzzles as you put your logic to the test.
The game was developed using PowerQuest, by Powerhoof.

A very complete game, very entertained with puzzles, riddles, etc. The design is very cute with a touch that bring back memories from oldest games like Monkey Island. It keeps you hooked on the story and the soundtrack is very beautiful. I really recommend this game!
Un gran donde la narrativa y el misterio destacan con mucha fuerza desde el primer momento. La historia te atrapa poco a poco, construyendo una atmósfera inquietante y llena de secretos que invitan a seguir explorando. Muy recomendable para quienes disfrutan de los juegos de puzles con una fuerte carga narrativa y un tono más enigmático y atmosférico.
Really great compact point & click adventure. Interesting story that holds your attention and satisfying puzzles that stay solvable throughout without getting repetitive. I find a lot of horror point & clicks can get a bit self-serious so I loved the way this one offset the gothic tone with humour, while still keeping some creepy atmosphere with the art and music. Definitely a stand-out among small indie games like this.
🕯️ EXCELENTE AVENTURA CLÁSICA 🕯️ Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence es una aventura gráfica clásica que apuesta por la atmósfera, el misterio y la narrativa por encima del artificio. Encarnamos a William, un joven escritor que viaja a una abadía remota en busca de inspiración. Lo que encuentra es un lugar marcado por el voto de silencio de sus monjes y una sensación constante de que algo no encaja. La historia se construye poco a poco, a través de símbolos, notas y detalles ambientales, dejando que el jugador observe y saque sus propias conclusiones. Jugablemente es un point & click muy accesible: interfaz minimalista, inventario sencillo y puzles lógicos que rara vez frustran. No busca la dificultad extrema, sino que la experiencia fluya y que podamos centrarnos en el misterio y la ambientación. El pixel art es sobrio y coherente, con una paleta fría que refuerza el aislamiento de la abadía. La banda sonora, delicada y muy bien medida, sabe cuándo aparecer y cuándo dejar que el silencio sea el protagonista. Es una aventura breve (1–2 horas), pero bien ajustada y sin relleno. Un homenaje honesto a las aventuras gráficas de los 90 que demuestra que, con sensibilidad y buenas ideas, no hace falta más para contar una historia que deja huella. Ideal para quienes disfrutan de los point & click clásicos y de los misterios pausados con personalidad propia.
it was a good game. its kinda short. i could have finished it in an hour or so. Story is pretty good. I got it on sale so i think it was worth it.
Juegazo de 10. Deseando darle caña a una posible segunda parte.
survival instinct of a spoon
While I would have liked a bit more meat on this bite-sized narrative and a little more challenge to its puzzles, Mystery of Silence definitely scratches that weird and creepy short story itch that lends itself so well to point-and-click games. At only an hour and a half long, the tale moves at a fast pace and the discoveries you make as you get closer to the truth are sure to chill you. The eerie soundscape makes it easy to forget there are no voices (or indeed, much dialogue at all in a game where most characters never speak). Here’s hoping new games in the Scholar Adventure series, which the developers hope to continue, are more substantial than this, but as a first commercial game, they have put together an enjoyable dark tale that makes me yearn for more. https://adventuregamehotspot.com/review/5737/scholar-adventure-mystery-of-silence
Compelling story, great atmosphere, nice visuals and music. Highly recommended.
Short and atmospheric adventure game. Music was sparse but definitely created an eerie atmosphere. Solved in 70 mins so its very short, worth it on sale.
