The time-travel element added much to the game, even though it's been done before (Day of the Tentacle, et al). Still, I enjoyed greatly how the puzzle solutions were not overly contrived unlike many other adventure games (you will never have to try picking a lock with an apple core!), such that the solutions could be visualized in a real-world setting. Adding a few more of these would have extended the game while highlighting the cleverness of the puzzles. Much of the lack of difficulty has to do with the merciful lack of 'red herring' items and 'dead end' areas that don't do anything to advance the game. The puzzles in Silent Age are difficult enough to be rewarding, although most familiar with the genre will not 'get stuck' or struggle too much to get through these levels. Great game, if not necessarily on par with some of the old-school classics when the genre was being perfected (Zork, Maniac Mansion, et al). I seriously recommend this game! And don't hesitate to buy the second episode cause that plot 's something I totally didn't expect. Once again, I loved this game and I purchased the second episode, and let me tell you, it was well worth it! I just finished my second playthrough with this game-after not playing it in a while- and it was great going through all the emotions and shocking parts this game holds all over again! However, that added on to the fun this game gives you and it's great that they don't hold your hand and walk you through the game, like most games do! Well, I had a love-hate relationship with the puzzles cause sometimes I'd be baffled as to what I had to do next. I loved the big plot twist at the end, and most of all, I loved the puzzles you had to solve while trying to progress with the story. I like all the hidden clues and tiny details you can find throughout the game to give you ideas behind the story. Honestly, I loved this game inside and out.

In fact, the only thing remotely remarkable about him is exactly how much he conforms to the median of the hypothetical everyman, and up until this point, Joe’s life hasn't exactly been biography material. Average height, average weight, average IQ. Our protagonist is Joe in more than just name. It’s been like this for years, going from one soul-devouring job to the next. Working a dead-end attendant job making sure the building is as spotless as the suits walking the halls. All the winds of change are doing here is blowing leaves all over Joe’s newly-swept floor. Somewhere in the big city, in a tall, faceless government building someone left a window open. The winds of change are certainly blowing over the country. Environmentalists, the female liberties movement, and on the dance floors an entirely different kind of movement is overtaking the underground clubs. Meanwhile the Cold War is more than lukewarm and a real one is going on overseas. Flipflops, English leather and bandanas are the height of fashion. Sit back, plug in your headphones, and enjoy the adventure. With an interface specifically designed for touch devices, you'll flow through the story without hiccups and frustrations. The Silent Age is an atmospheric point-and-click adventure game with stylized visuals and an eerie soundtrack that will keep you in suspense as you solve mind-bending puzzles.

The Silent Age takes you on an adventurous journey into a dystopian future where mankind has gone extinct! Travel through time between the iconic 70's and a desolate present day haunted by silence.
