About Silence of the Sleep
Silence of the Sleep is psychological horror adventure game for PC.
You play as a man called Jacob Reeves. A man who has lost his reason to live.
He throws himself into a blackness to end his misery, but instead of it being the end he wakes up without a memory of his life before.
You will travel through the abstract world of Silence of the Sleep to find the very reason for your
journey...
Now that is a good question!
Here are some info about Silence of the Sleep that I believe are worth knowing:
- Side scrolling 2D with unique, digitally drawn graphics
- Unique music from one end to another
- Minimalistic interface - I won’t hold your hand through the game
- Challenging puzzles
- No shooting - Enemy encounters are pretty rare and you can’t kill the enemies, avoid and hide from them to survive
- Original gameplay and twisting story - Silence of the Sleep has well crafted balance between horror and adventure, this allows me to build different atmospheres which brings variety to gameplay
- One man game - Graphics, animation, coding, music... You name it!

I think the main problem is that the protagonist’s parents must be siblings. Dude moves so funky even the controls feel like they were designed by his arse. I can’t bring myself to finish this because he can’t do a simple 360 or enter a door fast enough. Atmosphere’s decent and the music is okay tho'. It is an old game, but I checked it out since I enjoyed Distraint 1 & 2 quite a lot.3 found this helpful

Unfortunately, can't recommend.... the game doesn't support modern resolutions and it tells you to change your screen refresh rate to 60hz for it to run properly. Controls are clunky.
got this game with not much expectations but it turned out rlly good.
A seriously flawed exploration game that has a lot of good ideas and some really interesting coding but is marred by terrible visual cues, awful survival horror elements and a story that explains way too much and ultimately just becomes incomprehensible. It's an impressive creation for a game made by one person, and there are some cool puzzles and sequences. It's also got a unique middle section where you are wandering around a mental ward. This is something I've not seen in a game, so it felt refreshing and unique. Sadly, the visuals, while creative, don't highlight key objects or items, and many are barely visible, to the point that the game almost becomes unplayable without a guide. There was also a point early on where a code would not appear for seemingly no reason, and while I didn't consult a guide, it was super frustrating. The sound design and ambiance of the game is amazing, but the dialogue boxes just go on and on without ever really explaining much except for a terrible exposition dump in the last five minutes that just makes the story ridiculous. It would have been way better just to leave the story ambiguous and the protagonist a tragic Max Payne type figure. L…
