Our take on Notes of my silence
Rather than centering its genre on broad exploration or constant dialogue, the story makes silence and communication barriers part of its structure. Sign language and alternative communication replace more typical conversation scenes, while two endings provide a limited but consequential branch.
What is Notes of my silence?
Notes of my silence is a non-linear visual novel about Stefan, a young musician whose hearing is lost after an accident following his debut performance.
The loss also affects his work, hobbies and sense of purpose. The story follows his choice between recovering from despair or sinking further into it. Communication includes sign language and other options, although sign language cannot always be used. The experience focuses on drama and everyday life, with silence interrupted by a heartbeat and remembered fragments of classical music. Choices lead to two possible endings.
