Children of Silentown is a fantasy and horror adventure game. During the adventure, the player takes on the role of a girl named Lucy, who investigates the disappearances of the inhabitants of her village. Elf Games and Luna2 Studio are responsible for the production of the game.
Children of Silentown takes place in a village surrounded by a mysterious forest inhabited by monsters. People regularly die in this settlement. The player takes on the role of a young girl, Lucy, who decides to investigate the case.
The mechanics in Children of Silentown, as in other adventure games, are based on exploring the environment, talking to the NPCs (humans and animals), looking for objects (which can then be combined to achieve a specific effect) and solving environmental puzzles. The developers focus on making the puzzles as ingenious and unique as possible. Music also plays an important role in the game - singing can help the heroine in critical situations.
The player can also perform side activities such as playing with other children in the village in free time. A cat will also stand in the way of the heroine, which will make her life difficult.
Children of Silentown has a two-dimensional, hand-drawn graphic design, which gives the game a darker atmosphere.

Digitally Downloaded: 3 / 5
I’ve seen a lot of reviews compare Children of Silentown to something from Tim Burton, and I can see why: it’s kind of a dark, modern-day fairy tale with muted tones and a creepy soundtrack. However, it can very easily stand on its own without that comparison, which is why I waited this long to even bring it up. The gameplay is pretty standard but also very well done. The minigames could be tweaked a bit; leaving your player feeling stupid isn’t exactly a good thing. But the story overshadows a lot of my complaints: it’s intriguing, it’s heartfelt, it’s scary. It’s not the best game you’ll ever play, but the developers have tried to make something distinct, at least.
GamingTrend: 80 / 100 by Richard Allen
Children of Silentown delivers a compelling story told through stunning hand-drawn graphics and spearheaded by a hauntingly beautiful score that perfectly encapsulates the feelings of melancholy and dread that pervade Lucy's thoughts. Silentown's unique focus on discovering notes to uncover songs which can then be used to unlock puzzles provides a new dynamic to the point-and-click genre, and despite having gripes with one of the puzzle types, I still enjoyed my time unraveling the mystery of Silentown and the monsters that haunt it.
New Game Network: 65 / 100 by Ben Thomas
Children of Silentown is a nice-looking but bland adventure game due to basic puzzles and mundane objectives, although its second half shows more potential.
Average score from votes.
