“Its a product of its time. The visuals, approach, controlls and an ios port, but overall a decent game with a few tricks. Not worth full price, get it when its on sale”

— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“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.
