About Silhouette: Chapter One

The demo was released in August of 2020, and although as of 2023 I have started the project over, it is still a good representation of what to expect with the final release of the game, albeit there's been a major change to the cast of characters in Chapter One so I can actually get this game shipped some time this decade :)
As a solo developer, it will take some time to complete development. My current goal is to release Silhouette: Chapter One in early 2024, however, there's a good chance I will miss hitting this release date. Ultimately it will release when it's done.
Silhouette is currently a side project for me, meaning that I work on it when I need a break from my main project.
"It's like an old-school Point and Click Adventure game in a First Person perspective".
Initially, Silhouette will only be available in English. Currently, the game will only run on windows, though I would like to create a Mac and Linux port in the future.

It's kinda disappointing since there are so many glitches and breaks of voice. Not to mention how there is no sense of crime scene preservation. But the graphics are pretty awesome... Hope it gets programmed better Maybe then it wouldn't be so frustrating Not to mention the detective is pretty much stating the obvious and I'm going I know that and you oughta tell me more about this but you won't ToT3 found this helpful
Couldn't play for more than ten minutes without getting terrible motion sickness. Dev did not respond to request for a workaround -- just removing the headbob would have solved the problem.2 found this helpful
This is a quick early access review. I like the art style, and there aren't too many first person detective/adventure games out, so this is a nice change of pace. Without giving away any spoilers, a few of the puzzles were a little obscure, but taking a break and coming back to the puzzle later I was able to solve them. The game has potential! I can't wait to see what new cases the developer adds more to the game, and adds requested features like inverse mouse controls and more options for different resolutions :) Recommended at this price, and also to further help the dev to continue to update the game with more content.2 found this helpful
Love the art style and the main character is charming Has huge potential1 found this helpful
Silhouette is a fantastic game so far, it has really great detective mechanics and I can't wait for the updates.
I have high hopes for this. At its current point in development, there's only 30-45 minutes worth of gameplay, but what I've seen so far has been wonderful. The graphic style is beautifully simplistic, lending itself well to the noir aesthetics and atmosphere. The story is intriguing, although we've only scratched the surface of it. The voice acting is great, and there's good chemistry between the characters. Gameplay is pretty basic, though, and I'd definitely like to see a lot more challenge added to the investigative parts. Of course, being early access, it has some quirky mechanics, but the environment interaction and physics engine aren't wonky or counter-intuitive. They just need to be tweaked a bit. My biggest concern is that the dev put this up for Early Access too soon. $5.00 isn't a lot of money, but there's very little game content right now, and this is a single-dev project. As long as the dev keeps up with it, and is able to put out regular updates, I can see this being successful. However, it runs the risk of being shelved and forgotten. I'd like to see more for this, and I enjoyed what I've played, but I'd suggest people hold off on buying it until more content ha…
