Descent - Silence of Mind

Psychological horror game with puzzles, jumpscares, and a hypnosis motif, in which the protagonist tries to recover repressed memories and escape his own mind ✅I'll immediately praise the graphics, for a small budget, they look impressive. ✅There are few typical jumpscares, meaning the game doesn't try to scare us every few minutes with sudden monsters popping up. Instead, it builds tension through atmosphere, sounds, and a disturbing environment ✅Interesting plot idea, themes of hypnosis, memories, and the subconscious ❌No full ending, the game ends with a "To be continued" style ❌The price is a bit too high for less than 1.5 hours of gameplay ❌Virtually no puzzles; the only "puzzle" was switching switches ❌ No ability to change button assignments, you can't customize the controls to your preferences ✅✅ Verdict: [strike] Terrible [/strike], [strike] Bad [/strike], [strike] Mediocre [/strike], [b] Decent [/b], [strike] Good [/strike], [strike] Very Good [/strike] (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games, and similar) [quote] If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45994324/admin…

[h1]Buy on Sale![/h1] The game isn't bad by any means, there isn't really anything to complain about except for the length. If you have played through the game, it says "to be continued" at the end because there has been no update since 2017, so the price of 10 euros is way too much for a playtime of about 45 minutes, it also feels much more like a demo than a finished game. Apart from that, the atmosphere is good throughout the game and the jumpscares have been really good in parts. The beginning was a bit weird and didn't have to be, but apart from that a lot of things were done right and I think it's a shame that nothing new has been added for 6 years, this game had the potential to be great at its current price point, so unfortunately I would only recommend it for sale.

I must say the first lvl is rather annoying due to beeing weird of what to do. The second lvl is way better. Its eerie and horiffying. But after that its just confusing and weird. I havent played it to the end because it was just too weird and annoying. I cant recommend this game

Descent - Silence of Mind is an atmospheric first-person horror experience developed by Labory and published by SA Industry that places mood, symbolism, and psychological unease above conventional pacing or mechanical complexity. Rather than presenting a traditional horror narrative driven by monsters or combat, the game frames itself as an inward journey, pulling the player into a fractured mental landscape where fear, memory, and subconscious imagery blend together. From the opening moments, it establishes an oppressive tone built on silence, darkness, and disorientation, signaling clearly that this is meant to be a slow descent into the mind rather than a fast-moving scare fest. The premise centers on a protagonist suffering from a severe sleep disorder who submits to hypnosis in the hope of finding relief. Instead of calm or clarity, the session plunges him into a nightmarish internal world where forgotten memories and suppressed anxieties manifest as distorted environments. Storytelling is intentionally abstract, communicated through visual cues, environmental changes, and unsettling transitions rather than explicit dialogue or exposition. This approach encourages players to …

Hmm. I got a -90% coupon so I decided to give this a go, as it was just over 1 euros. These "unpopular" or rather unknown games intrigue me and can sometimes be pretty ok. For 1 eur, it's not a bad experience. Puzzles and so on, interesting atmosphere. Controls however are weird and a bit funky. For 12 euros it's just not worth the money. If you get a coupon, sure try it and see by yourself. I will give thumbs up, for the price of 1 euros, but with 12 it would be another story.
