A stylish and well-made point’n’click adventure.

Clearly, I enjoyed The Silent Age: Episode One, and I think there's a lot to admire here. It's free, and there are no in-app purchases, although you can donate to the developers' efforts to fund and finish Episode Two (of two, if I understand their blog correctly). I'd love to see Joe deliver that message and learn the answers to the mysteries raised in this episode, and I think that if you play it, you'll feel the same way.

While The Silent Age may not stretch your mental prowess, it's never less than engaging thanks to some great writing.

The Silent Age is very good experience, in the vain of point and click puzzle adventure games. While, for the most part, the puzzles are easy, utilizing a pretty cool time travel mechanic, it's the story and writing that really carry this game through. Every time you click on an item, your character will have something increasingly funny to say each time. If you are looking for a good story to keep you entertained while you sit in a waiting room, or on a train, this game is certainly worth a buy.

The Silent Age is an eerily evocative adventure game that benefits enormously by an extremely well thought out time travel mechanic. In order to solve the wide variety of puzzles, you must use a small device to shift across time from the 1970s to a post apocalyptic future. It's similar to Day of the Tentacle in that respect but make no mistake, this is not a simple clone of old-school games. The Silent Age is one of the most uniquely original games to come out of the adventure game mini-renaissance that is occurring on iOS right now. I am greatly anticipating the sequel to this title and truly appreciative that this first chapter is available for free. If you want something more thoughtful than the usual tap tap app crap that is so prevalent in the iOS ecosystem then The Silent Age is not to be missed.

This is a great graphic adventure from every perspective: storytelling, plot, gameplay… If you love the genre and/or science fiction, The Silent Age is a very recommended option.

Smart, mysterious and layered beneath a very welcome dose of otherworldly eeriness, The Silent Age will delight any adventure gamer who feels that the genre's revival, welcome though it is, is just a little too light-hearted in the 21st century.

Assuming additional episodes maintain the same quality of this first entry, The Silent Age will continue to be a must-play series well into the future.

The Silent Age promises to be one of the App Store's best new puzzle adventures, combining solid gameplay with a perfect eerie atmosphere to create a truly unique experience. While the game does feel repetitive in some areas and it isn't too long, this game has endless potential and reveals just enough of its interesting story to make players beg for more. 8/10 Follow me on twitter. @cbeers2513

SummaryIt’s 1972. Love is free. Flipflops, English leather and bandanas are the height of fashion. Meanwhile the Cold War is more than lukewarm and a real one is going on overseas. Movements are happening. Environmentalists, the female liberties movement, and on the dance floors an entirely different kind of movement is overtaking the und... Read More
