Our take on Silence Channel
Players who need explicit direction may hit a wall when progress depends on examining letters, handwriting, and environmental clues. Those expecting a conventional investigation may also bounce at the shift from interviewing locals and taking photographs to entering the mysterious mansion and solving puzzles.
What is Silence Channel?
Silence Channel is a first-person psychological horror game presented as based on a true story.
Players take the role of John Martin, a reporter investigating claims of strange sightings at an isolated site. He arrives through heavy fog, intending to take photographs, speak with residents, and return with a local-interest story. Instead, exploration takes him through shadowy areas and a puzzling mansion. Players look for an exit, inspect written letters and handwriting, and work through different puzzles to uncover what happened. Events generated during play contribute to the experience, while clues found in the surroundings reveal the story’s secrets.
