About
Silent Signals is a screen-based detective thriller where your only weapon is your mind. You step into the role of an ethical hacker, hired to investigate the digital remains of missing persons, erased emails, corrupted logs, and locked directories.
Each case is self-contained (like a digital cold case file) and demands logical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to connect fragmented clues. You'll read through forum posts, analyze citizen databases, open suspicious file attachments, and follow subtle breadcrumbs hidden deep in the interface of a simulated operating system.
There are no jumpscares. No timers. No hand-holding.
Just you, a screen, and a mystery waiting to be cracked.
Screen-Based Gameplay: Everything unfolds on a simulated desktop. Emails, logs, folders, browsers, tools.
Standalone Story Chapters: Each case is an atmospheric narrative inspired by real-world cyber investigations.
Logic-Driven Puzzles: Use deduction, cross-referencing, and digital sleuthing techniques to uncover hidden truths.
Diegetic Tools: Unlock and use in-game software like "ISP Records", "Citizen DB", "Media Viewer" to progress.
Immersive Mystery Experience: No flashy effects, just a slow-burning thrill for the mind.

Game needs a much better tutorial to help players understand the game. As it is, it offers no guidance or help in understanding the game and it's mechanics properly. It's in dire need of a help system to nudge people in the direction, especially early on to help people in. If you want this type of game but done much better, check out The Operator, the Cyber Manhunt series or the Orwell series instead.
Игра полнейшее разочарование. Не смог пройти даже туториал. Начать с того что там как такового туториала нет и в помине. Да, там есть конечно небольшая "база знаний", но не более. До всего допирай сам. Для тех, кто увидел что имеется русская озвучка и текст, то забудьте. Русский - это переведенный с английского языка через кривой переводчик текст (вместо "вставить" написано "паста"), плюсом интерфейс не расчитан на такое количество символов. Озвучка кроме английской и вовсе отсутствует. Мини игры тут вообще что-то с чем-то. Взломать телефон - нужно так приноровиться в реакции, что я решил уже на этом этапе вернуть за нее деньги. Это реальное испытание на ловкость. Ну и так же про расшифровку паролей. Я не знаю кому и как удалось пройти этот этап, я так и не осилил. Казалось бы, шифр Цезаря с ключом 3 (если верить внутренней википедии, состоящей всего лишь из трех страниц). Но нет, ключ 3 не сработал. Как и все остальные ключи (я буквально перебрал все варианты и никакого результата) Возможно в перспективе игра и удастся, все поправят, игры сделают полегче, перевод сделают грамотно, но на данный момент нервных клеток не хватает
While it has a very similar layout to CaseCracker, it is a LOT more obtuse about it, making it hard to play.
The tutorial isn't close to good enough to teach users how the game works, and some of the tools provided might be bugged or are just not used in the game (looking up a citizen by name in the Citizen Searcher tool just returns their name, very useful...). Not clear if the game is even supported anymore. Do not buy.
El juesgo está roto y sin testear. La interfaz crashea si usas la tecla espacio al hackear moviles. Numerosas erratas y traducción hecha por IA o random en Castellano [spoiler] soyunprefesor [/spoiler] Muchos textos no tienen sentido... te podias haber currado las páginas web. Crasheo del juego al meter la contraseña mail... ni siquiera te dice que es incorrecta o correcta.... Esto en el tutorial... no me quiero imaginar el resto.
When I first saw this I was quite excited by the concept. I read the description and immediately wanted to try it. Though it was a bit of a learning curb, I find myself slowly learning the basics more and more. The only thing is that I seemed to get confused rather quickly. A perfect example is just the first story after the tutorial; I was able to find all the details on the individuals, but am still lacking certain info to complete the story. I'm quite confident I know what the story is but it wont let me answer the questions unless I completed all the quests. I'm gonna hope this is just me being stupid and still not understanding the game correctly. Overall the game itself has been a fun experience so far and I can't wait to see the rest of it, after I get through the first chapter. Edit: It's been several months since I've played this game and decided to check out how it was going. I noticed a couple recent comments on the discussion board about being stuck and thought maybe I could help. Needing a bit of the a refresher I loaded up the game to redo the tutorial. Unfortunately I wasn't able to complete the tutorial as when I tried to use the password cracker the so called decoded password was incorrect. After double checking multiple times to make sure I was typing it correctly and was using the right encoder guide with no luck I just gave up. I've completed this game to it's near finish (got stuck on the very chapter) and I find it odd that I can't complete the tutorial. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, which I fear is what many others feel when first playing. The tutorial is confusing as you stumble through pop-up after pop-up telling you how to play making it feel like a instruction manual. While other games show you what to do, this one only tells you if you look for the info yourself. It's like the instruction manual of a board game, constantly referencing things to understand what needs to be done. I will say that once you get a grasp of the mechanics and tools the game is more enjoyable, until you run into a bug or two. Had one where I copied a text and when I pasted it the pasted text was spelt different. Ex: Friend would paste as Frend. Hopefully this game can see some improvement, as it is still a really fun concept.
