I don't really like point and click adventure games. All the ones i have played i got them in bundles with other games. I mean, they remind me a lot of exams where they give you a problem and they expect you to find the correct-fixed solution. This one i liked.
The story isn't something special; don't expect much plot-wise. Graphics are not good but they have that cartoonish fairy tale style so they fit their purpose. Sound ok, nothing grand.
It's a fairy tale. It has some smart and funny scenes, liking magic mushrooms and stuff and the riddles aren't hard so it flows vary nice. Small in duration but dense in joyful moments if you find it cheap it will give you 5+ hours of good time.

Silence. A grim fairytale in a colorful package.
Liked this game a lot. Beautiful gfx and matching music. The characters are very likable with good animations and excellent voice overs.
Most of the puzzles are quite easy, so don't expect too much of a challenge there. Besides the usual point'n click actions, there's also a few balancing minigames, but they aren't hard either.
It's not a long game though. Can be finished in one evening, although that assumes you're not stuck on some of the puzzles and not trying out every funny or useless thing there's to do. Multiple full playthroughs required to get all achievements.

This game is a true unique fantasy story. Even though the ending that I got was really sad, I loved the game.
The Good
The art for the game is really good.
The game told a unique story. At the end of the game you have a choice for what ending you’d get. After you get it and the game brings you back to the menu, you can just load up your last save and see the other ending which is cool. The problem that I have with the other ending, is that it leaves me with more questions. The other ending is sad too though, if you've seen the sad ending.
I liked the music.
It was a fairly easy game.
I thought that the voice acting was good. I thought the Renie voice was cute. Like, it’s just nice to actually play a game where the child is voice by an actual child.
The Bad
I hated the controls for the mouse. There was one part at the beginning where you had to balance the dude on something and I wasn’t able to do it. The devs expect you to have a large table/area surface to even do the balancing minigame. It was stupid. I had to then use a controller.
The game can softlock you in many areas. By softlock, I mean getting stuck. The creature blocked me from moving and I couldn’t go back. Luckily, you can reload from your last checkpoint.
You can’t skip the long cutscenes.
The hint icon color is too hard to see. And not only that, it’s small.
Conclusion
The game was great because of its art and story. It felt like a high production point and click adventure game. And to be honest, I hate point and click puzzle games where you have to find the correct sequence to progress. But I loved the game, it’s true.

Touching and memorable. You don't need to have played The Whispered World beforehand, but knowing it adds an interesting context to the story.

Beautiful graphics and music, beautiful world with great voice acting.
Story is kinda on the minimal side but its enjoyable nonetheless.

Silence is a stunning game, it's nice to be able to play it through without any google'ing at all.. (I often need to in these games)
BUT it is short. has to many rude characters, bad language and the feeling of a story that's been cut down to size. The previous game I remember as amazingly inventive and has a long story.
Still IF you can get this at a really good discount it is worth a play through.

Overall a nice game with likeable characters and gorgeous art style. Check first game as well if you haven't.
