Silence: The Whispered World 2
War rages on. During an air raid, 16 year old Noah and his little sister Renie seek shelter in a bunker.

When Noah’s sister gets lost in Silence, he is forced to venture into this idyllic yet threatening world to find her. Silence, however, bears its own scars of war and suffering. Dark creatures haunt towns and cities and ravage this once serene place between worlds. Only a small band of rebels stands against the looming menace. Now it is up to the siblings to save Silence and its fantastic inhabitants from impending doom and thus also save their own lives. Join Noah and Renie on their exciting journey through Silence where an emotionally gripping story of contrasts between serenity and danger unfolds. Meet fascinating and likeable characters like Spot, the magical caterpillar who helps Noah and Renie on their way through Silence.

A magical return to a truly unique world.
I didn't personally enjoy this as much as its predecessor, but I still had a very lovely time with it.
The puzzles are very good, much like the first game, with a few new mechanics.
The story is nice if a bit convoluted, with some really nice moments, and some fairly bland ones.
The music is gorgeous and definitely elevates the experience, much like the visuals that are absolutely stunning.
The voice acting can be a bit hit and miss, but I found it gets the job done, and is more often good than bad.
I really did enjoy this, and would definitely suggest checking it out, especially if you played the original.

If you are interested in getting the game, yet unsure you will enjoy it, you can get it for free (no subscription, just an account) on GOG and keep it forever. Go to Home, scroll down and then claim the game.

A nice game but didn't tickle my fancy. It just didn't grab my attention like the Monkey Island games or Deponia. A very good game tho. Well build, good graphics and nice audio. No shame to try it.

I'm not sure there's adequate words to express how deeply this game changed me, but I'll certainly try.
It sets the tone from the offset with some of the most gorgeous cutscenes and scenery art. Genuinely one of the most visually beautiful games I've ever played. Add in the top tier voice acting and the characters really have a way of making you love (or hate) them. The puzzles were interesting, though I must say at times a bit tricky for my not-puzzle-smart brain. It was, however, never so hard that I couldn't eventually move past it, which I'm thankful for (streaming this live also helped, thankyou community!). All of this is reason enough to celebrate this game and recommend it, but what truly sets this apart as one of the top games I've ever played is the story.
I am a cryer, I love any game that can make me feel things and my god did this game make me FEEL EVERYTHING. It is a non-stop barrage of hope and grief and love and pain and laughter and tears. Though that being said it is perfectly paced to have your moment of pain and process it, laugh until you're healed, then forget you're about to be heartbroken again while you solve a puzzle just to repeat until the credits roll. One of a small handful of games I wish I could experience all over again with fresh eyes. I will remember this game in my heart forever I'm sure.

Just as Whispered World was, this is the same: such amazing games.
Though I liked the first game more when it comes to art, as it was hand-drawn, but this also looks hand-drawn, just a 3D version of it; I don't know, it just doesn't seem as appealing imo.
Also, the game seems easier than the first one, as it is more linear outside of controlling different characters in different zones; I was stuck WAY less than I was on Whispered World.
Achievement hunting is a pain though, as it was with the first one, but this one took me longer due to having to do 3 1/2 playthroughs because I missed something again and again apparently; these games really need a chapter select, as it would improve QoL by a lot, so if there is a 3rd Silence game, then chapter select needs to be a must-do.
I had one achievement bug on me twice on each playthrough, so I had to force it to pop because I wasn't about to do another playthrough just find it broke again, as it was becoming a waste of time.

A good heartfelt journey through the land of Silence. Good voice acting, animation, music, and story telling. Worth a buy on sale. Be warned though, this is a sequel, something I didn't know when i purchased it. The puzzles are a bit too simple and achievements require 3 play throughs if your a hunter.
