I used to play this when i was younger on a phone and igot stuck at the 2nd chapter or it costed money to continue but now I can finally play it and complet it after completing it there were some things you could guess example at the end chapter (ten before coming back) I wont spoil it for anyone who sees this and hasnt completed it but its really good would play again

The Silent Age is one of the best indie point and clicks out there and it doesn’t even try that hard to prove it. No bloated nonsense, no 200 IQ puzzles to stroke your ego, just clean design, a time travel gimmick that actually works, and an atmosphere so quiet and lonely it feels like the world forgot you exist. Story sneaks up on you and suddenly you’re invested without realizing when it happened. And then it just ends. Like “alright, get out.” Leaves you there wanting more like a scam… but a good one. Doesn’t matter though, it hits way harder than most games twice its size. 9.5/10, short but hits like a truck

A história é o grande destaque aqui. A premissa de viajar entre duas linhas do tempo, um presente “normal” e um futuro completamente vazio, cria um clima bem interessante. Não é uma narrativa cheia de ação, mas prende pela curiosidade e pelo mistério do que aconteceu com o mundo. O protagonista é bem simples, quase “apagado”, mas isso até ajuda na imersão. Você meio que entra no lugar dele, acompanhando tudo sem muita interferência. O gameplay é bem direto, clássico de point and click. Explorar os cenários, pegar itens e resolver puzzles alternando entre as duas linhas do tempo é a base de tudo. Não tem muita complexidade, mas funciona bem dentro da proposta. O uso das viagens no tempo é o que dá graça. Resolver um problema no passado pra alterar o futuro (ou o contrário) traz umas ideias legais, mesmo que os puzzles não sejam tão difíceis na maior parte do tempo. O ritmo é bem tranquilo. É aquele jogo pra jogar com calma, sem pressa, mais focado na experiência do que no desafio. Visualmente ele é bem minimalista, mas tem um estilo próprio. Os cenários passam bem essa sensação de abandono, principalmente no futuro. A trilha sonora ajuda muito na atmosfera. É discreta, mas reforça esse clima meio solitário e misterioso o tempo todo. O que mais me pegou foi justamente essa vibe. Não é um jogo longo nem complexo, mas consegue criar uma experiência bem consistente do início ao fim. É daqueles jogos simples, mas que deixam uma impressão boa depois que termina, principalmente se você curte narrativa e um clima mais contemplativo.

Started this expecting to push a vacuum for a bit. Nope. Turns out saving the world requires more brainpower than a Friday night on Call of Duty. Surprisingly engaging for a game where you mostly just... look at stuff.

That was really good. Solid point and clicking. A mood contrast between foreboding and desolate. Being a simple but pretty nifty janitor, while grand events circle around, taunting you for simply doing what you can. I don't know, I thought it was good. I was really impressed by how many and interesting responses there were for attempting to use objects, like certain logic was anticipated, and yet it made a lot of sense, I found that enjoyable (I wouldn't go around compulsively trying things just to see what the game says, I'm just saying there was a lot of thought put into the interactions). The music set the atmosphere perfectly, it did the job well and I felt immersed.

Replayed it tons of times. It feels like an immersive novel with no need to worry about losing, just puzzle solving amongst the cool vibes of the enigmatic and mysterious tunes. This is a quality game and I wish there were more games just like it.

Straightforward point and click game, nice mood. You can turn off voice acting, but there are not any other options that I found. I would have loved a button to run instead of constantly double clicking. I finished in under 3.5 hours with 100% achievements. It's easy to go back and replay levels if you miss anything, and there aren't any fail states which was nice. Ran perfectly on Bazzite Linux.

Играла в демо-версию на телефоне, когда она только вышла. Очень рада была найти её здесь, наконец-то смогла пройти до конца. Очень необычный и приятный игровой процесс, стильный дизайн и крутой сюжет. Прохождение занимает от силы часа 2-3, но удовольствия полные штаны. Очень рекомендую любителям жанра.

也算是童年回忆了！小时后在亲戚手机上玩了盗版（）当时就被玩法和剧情发展深深吸引，让小小的老子铭记多年。此时此刻，正值18岁的夏天，终于有能力买入正版，重温这个有非同一般魅力的游戏。正如游戏中的主人公一样在过去与未来之间穿梭，这一段重温体验也将我的记忆拉回到多年以前——青涩的岁月，对打动人心的故事初展兴调，而《沉默年代》，正是催生我现在乃至未来对故事的无限兴趣，让我遐想连篇的闪耀群星之一。幸好，在刚好的年纪，遇见了好的游戏。

A solid example of well-executed indie game. I remember playing it on my tablet while traveling on a train, I think I played through in one go during that trip (the internet was partly off, hence the playtime). There was literally nothing that felt wrong. A great, bite-sized story with decently executed time travel mechanic. One phrase stuck with me for all those years, I think it was something like, "Yes, it was all a lie... Except my friendship. That was genuine."
