Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence

Moody and well crafted, short game. The puzzles aren't very complex, but fit the narrative and keep you going. Sound is good, graphics, too. Only thing that was lacking was the story which isn't bad, just failed to create a sense of mystery. Wasn't scary, either. Still had a good time, perfect for a grey weather afternoon.

This game was so enjoyable for it to be so short! One puzzle part had my chat and I so confused!

Very good adventure, I love that it's just a few - very well used - rooms to explore. It makes the most of these rooms and tells a unique and interesting story. I only wish there would be more feeback on why certain things can't be used on others/persons. There was one instance where my idea of using what with what was right, but the location was wrong. More feedback and some better english localisation would make this game a 10/10.

Nice art, fun concept, decent puzzles, slightly let down by narrative. 3.5/5. As others mentioned, it's quite short (I played for 2.5 hours but most of that is because I left the game running and went to cook and do various other things.) Length isn't really a problem for me, but others might feel let down. The puzzles are fun enough. Some seem thrown in mostly to break up cutscenes without really adding anything or making sense but 1 or 2 were genuinely quite clever and pleasing to solve. The problem for me was the narrative. I was sold immediately on the concept of a silent monastery but at no point did I care about any of the characters or, really, what was happening. In fact, I found the main character actively unlikeable. He wasn't annoying-but-charming like a Guybrush Threepwood or a George Stobbart. He was just annoying. The writer clearly has some interesting ideas that haven't been fully executed. It felt like maybe they'd cut big parts in order to meet a deadline or because they were hard to create gameplay for. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for a sequel where the designer can really stretch their muscles.

[h1]Un escritor llega en bote a una abadía aislada en busca de inspiración. ¿Qué puede salir mal?[/h1] Una aventura point and click de bellísimo pixel art, con una gran ambientación, algunas risas, golpes de horror y mucho misterio. Los monjes van cubiertos y casi ninguno nos responde; suponemos que por sus votos de silencio. Hay muchas puertas cerradas, y unos cantos misteriosos resuenan por los túneles. ¿Qué esconde esta abadía? Lo iremos revelando poco a poco. No es una aventura particularmente larga, pero rebosa amor por el género y por la estética clásica de este tipo de juegos. Leí por ahí algunas quejas sobre objetos escondidos, pero no encontré nada fuera de lo normal: basta con pasar el cursor sobre las estanterías para localizar los objetos con los que se puede interactuar. Además, el inventario nunca llega a saturarse, porque casi todo se utiliza enseguida para avanzar. Es una de esas aventuras que dejan con ganas de más, porque logran mantener la intriga durante todo el recorrido.

Aventura Point&Click clásica con una buena ambientación e historia. Aunque se me ha hecho algo corto, puede que veamos a William en alguna otra aventura
