Our take on Silhouettes
The branching format gives the story several possible conclusions, but leaves less room for action-based gameplay and other mechanical variety. The current release also provides only one episode, limiting the available story compared with the planned five additional episodes.
What is Silhouettes?
Silhouettes is a crime, fantasy, and horror visual novel centered on a young woman whose dreams show the outlines of children who have vanished, while she witnesses teenagers enduring hardship in everyday life.
She resides in a small settlement troubled by recurring disappearances involving both children and adolescents, yet she cannot explain the nightmares or their significance. The game brings together criminal investigations, supernatural elements, frightening incidents, character-led storytelling, and disturbing music. Decisions made during play affect the narrative and may produce several endings. The first episode is available now, with five more announced for later release.
