The Silent Kingdom

I love everything in this game

I'm not even kidding when I say this game gave me goosebumps. The story is so well written, the battles are simple enough that I don't feel it overwhelms the story at all, but still complex enough that I enjoyed them. This is easily one of my favorite games I've played.

This game is so much fun in all aspects. I can't wait for the rest to come out. The story is so interesting

I have been looking for a game that can captivate me for a long time. This one intrigued me with it's interesting and dark story and beautiful visuals. What stood out to me first is the incredibly gorgeous artwork and adorable chibis that also move so beautifully. I couldn't take my eyes off the protagonist. I love her character design! Another pleasant surprise was how thorough the writing of the characters and the story was. It pulled me in more and more the longer I played the game. It has quite some twists and turns, characters that are not just cliché and sometimes makes you ponder about the heavy topics and decisions the princess has to make along the way. The change up every now and then for certain puzzle parts of the game was also very refreshing, even though the usually come without an explanation on what to do and is a bit of a trial and error to find the right solution. While it might be slightly annoying for some, I felt a certain nostalgia like in old games from my childhood where there were no guides and you'd get through difficult parts through sheer grit and dying over and over again :) Lastly, the soundtrack. Beautifully fitting for the overall theme and each setting. All in all, I can absolutely recommend this game!

챕터1 밖에 없는데 이정도의 만족감을 주는 여성향 게임은 정말 오랜만입니다. 꽤 옛날부터 오토메 게임을 즐겨왔던 저인지라 요새는 대부분의 양산형은 지루하고 다른 작품들과 비슷하다고 느꼈었어요. 일본의 여성향 게임 회사들 중 오토메이트사 게임을 ps2 부터 플레이 해왔고 다른 회사들의 오토메 게임들도 다양하게 10년이상 플레이 해왔습니다만 약8시간 동안 플레이를 하면서 이렇게 푹 빠지고 재밌게 한 여성향 게임은 몇년만인지....챕터2와 3이 너무 기대됩니다. (켜놓고 두세시간 잠수타서 플레이 타임이 좀 더 길게 나왔네요) 완전판이 나올때까지 기다려보려했지만 결국 기다리지 못 하고 구입한게 후회되지 않을 정도로 챕터1의 마무리까지 완벽했습니다. 좋은 게임을 내주셔서 감사합니다. 아직 한 캐릭터만 공략한 상태이지만 완전판 소식이 나올 때 까지 아껴두다가 플레이 하려합니다! 그 날이 너무나 기다려지네요.

黑暗童话冒险rpg，设定挺反套路的，情节展开也是水到渠成。 话说这游戏里的怪物长相还挺瘆人的，看预览图和演示视频的时候没啥感觉，游戏里一进战斗，玻璃一碎，搭配那个阴间的音乐，看到这奇形怪状的小别致，不仅感叹女主头一次出门遇到这些玩意还没被吓到是真勇敢。 游戏第一章中期靠右会有一个伪恐怖游戏追逐战，那个铁门里会不断刷新卫兵巡逻，走路还咚咚响，听起来很有压迫感，但是不要有心理压力，这家伙很笨的，而且真被发现了打就行了，这一个卫兵还是比较好打的，正好带着魔法师队友，能回血。 女主太赞了，实不相瞒我就是奔着女主来的，最开始看演示里女主的人设感觉有点像《身为悲剧始作俑者的最强邪恶boss女王为民歇心尽力》里的普莱德，实际游玩后感觉性格也挺像的，都是能为了拯救自己在乎的东西奉献一切的，我玩的时候也是以慈悲为怀，尽量少杀生，内心戏选择也都是选择愧疚，讨厌杀戮之类的，[spoiler] 可惜megaera了……[/spoiler] 看了简介，看起来这游戏主要就2个男角色可攻略了，但这个是可选的，主要还是拯救水晶国，但和他俩谈能拿到很多好看的cg，能谈还是谈吧，[spoiler]这游戏大部分时候还是挺压抑的，能让女主有所依靠调节下身心是再好不过的。目前看来好像是能三人行，和megaera聊天时也能选择同时在意他们两个，后面也能和他们两个每个人都分别kiss，不知道在后面更新的章节有没有影响[/spoiler]。俩男角色塑造还行吧，可能是情节刚展开的缘故，对他们俩还没有特别印象深刻的闪光点，我当初走他们俩的恋情线也主要是想看他们和女主的化学反应，不过总的来讲不能算是塑造的不好，我还是很期待他们接下来的故事的 目前看来这游戏的走向很难有happy ending了，而且很多谜团还没有揭开，但还是希望最后主角团的努力不会白费吧。 再来说几个缺点吧： 1.女主的移动不大灵活，脚底跟抹了油似的，老是多走几步，像第一章城镇那里有很多那种桥梁，只有一个小人的格子可供穿行过去，配合这滑溜溜的手感，很难受，同时好多场景强制不让跑，移动很有限，序幕的时候很多爬楼梯切换场景的，但必须得看完女主慢悠悠爬到楼梯顶才能进入下一个场景，这会完全没法互动，感觉有点墨迹； 2.游戏中的对话有很多分支选项，一次对话可能都能有好几次选项，很多选项能导致不同后续甚至能直接避免不必要的战斗，但这游戏只能在待机情况下存档，导致每次回档选不同剧情时得经过一大段前置。希望能在对话中存档； 3.这游戏是没有中文文本的，我这边用翻译器凑合打完了，不然实际通关游戏时长会更快，我是希望未来能出官方中文的，这样我给朋友安利这游戏时，他们更容易接受，不过现在ea都没结束呢，而且看了下作者好像是一个人整的，那先不急吧。 再添加一个建议吧，我是用手柄玩的，这游戏没有对手柄做对应按键提示，搞得我到现在都不知道手柄上是按哪个按键查看历史对话的，希望后期能添加上

I cant believe more people aren't talking about The Silent Kingdom. The story, combat, art work, music, the flexible choices between the MC and characters. Its so good and I'm so excited and happy to see more from this developer they have a GIFT. This is one of those games that is worth the wait, I am more than happy to wait for the other chapters for as long as it takes just based on what I saw in the Prologue and Chapter 1. Thank you for making this game, Prologue and Chapter 1 has already given such an amazing gaming experience!! <3 <3 <3

This review relates to Chapter 1 only, which I have just finished. In short, I was very impressed overall by both the story and the characterization. The game consistently creates a real sense of tension, danger, and genuine high stakes that you will rarely find in a mainstream JRPG. The first chapter is full of plot twists, and the choices presented, both major and minor, feel lifelike in the sense that you have to make a lot of them one after the other, with incomplete information and no real idea what the long-term consequences will be. Overall, I highly commend the author of what I understand is largely a solo project, and am looking forward to Chapter 2. There are some minor issues that may be of interest to some players. Although the overall presentation is attractive, a few more frames of animation in movement and combat would make all in the difference in reducing a slight sense of stiltedness in both; diagonal movement would also be wonderful, but I have no idea about the technical obstacles. The battle system is fun and challenging, but for my taste I would prefer quite a bit more of it - there simply aren't that many battles in this chapter. Finally, the game is firmly Otome in its genre - personally, I found the focus on romance from the perspective of the female lead to be refreshing in a serious JRPG, but if that's not your thing you may find it a distraction. p.s. This is my first time purchasing an early-access game, but the quality of this first section made it a thoroughly worthwhile decision. Highly recommended!
