Released on January 11th, the mysteries of Children of Silentown are ready to be uncovered by players on every major platform. Created by publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developers Elf Games and Luna2 Studio, this story-driven, point-and-click adventure is now available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Players follow the story of Lucy, a young girl growing up in a village deep within a forest inhabited by all sorts of monsters. While the sun is high in the sky, she spends her time just as any other normal girl would – though as the sun sets and the moon peeks out, the indication of danger looms over her in the form of recurring nightmares.
But when the continual disappearance of fellow villagers becomes an exhaustive tragedy, Lucy treks into the forbidden woods to face her darkest fears.
Players uncover the unsettling secrets surrounding this hushed village just as Lucy slowly begins unraveling the dark mysteries that surround her. The gloomy, hand-drawn art style is accompanied by soft atmospheric music, building what can only be described as a “hauntingly beautiful world.”
With the opportunity to shape Lucy’s story and achieve multiple different endings, players of all kinds will come together to enjoy this melancholy adventure. Search for mysterious notes, collect items to combine with one another, and play minigames to learn songs to discover the enigma within Children of Silentown.
Unveiling the horrors within the forest alongside the wholesome visions of Lucy in her normal life, we see just a brief glimpse of what to expect. Self-described as being inspired by the one and only Tim Burton’s 2009 film Coraline, the eerie animation and solemn melody certainly live up to the expectations from what we can see so far.
Children of Silentown is available on each platform mentioned above for $19.99.
