Critic Reviews
The Digital Fix
By Justine KnightAt moments a beautiful depiction of the struggles of mental health, but a greater progression should have been felt throughout.
Handsome Phantom
By Dave LambdenWhat The Thin Silence sets out to do is ambitious. To capture the tonal and emotional depth of recent successes like Limbo is not an easy task. This game accomplishes that in some respect.
Cubed3
By Adam RileyThe Thin Silence hits all the right notes when it comes to the puzzling situations faced, with extremely smart ways of working through the various stages faced, continuously crafting new objects to aid with progress. Sadly, it does hold itself back too much with a painfully slow walking pace for the lead character, and some weighty prose that misses the mark, too often proving to actually be boring and/or confusing. A sequel more focused on the puzzle adventure element would be welcomed with open arms; just ditch the convoluted story-telling aspect, please.
GameOctane
By Jason GerminoThe Thin Silence is a dark story which will intrigue you, pull you in, rough up some emotions, and spit you back out...in a good way. Though it may not be for everyone, gamers that enjoy stories over action should enjoy The Thin Silence.
Pardis Game
By Reza LiaghatThe Thin Silence tries to be an inspirational and at the same time an entertaining game, and while it is almost successful at the later, due to being too symbolic and cliché, it fails in its main goal and has nothing new to provide.
