About The Thin Silence
MEET EZRA WESTMARK
The Thin Silence is a narrative adventure game told through the introspection and recollection of Ezra Westmark. Inspired by games such as Limbo and Knytt Stories, follow the journey of Ezra from his self-imposed exile to forgiveness and hope.
The Thin Silence explores depression, self-doubt, struggles, and trials. Amongst the darkness, the game features that sound, that thin silence, which calls to us in our darkest hours. That sound we can’t hear or describe which somehow gives us the strength to try again and push through obstacles previously insurmountable.
It’s not a game about success.
It’s a game of enduring your worst moment and facing the next one. Walk with Ezra out of the darkness, uncovering the journey that led him there and the hope that leads him home.

I didn't understand it all but it gave me a cry. When a game shows signs of understanding you, it's something else.4 found this helpful
Reasons I refunded this game: 1) A game that says will explore dark themes of the human psyche really doesn't need a clumsy crafting system. Open craft menu, select New Item, use wheel to select an item, then again for second item, then again for third item, confirm. Why does it feel like I'm playing a console port? 2) I've seen a lot of bad control schemes but this one takes the cake. [Down] to interact, [A] to use and [Enter] to open the crafting menu from which you can then press [Q] to open the Main menu.... Why does it feel like I'm playing a lazy console port? 3) Controls cannot be changed. [Esc] does nothing, to quit the game you have to press [Enter] and then [Q] and then navigate to the quit option. Why does it feel like I'm playing a very lazy console port? 4) Mouse not supported. Not even in the main menu. Why does it feel like I'm playing a very, very lazy console port?3 found this helpful

One of the worst games I've ever played. I'm no judge to any kind of game and genre. However, this game is just doing everything it wanted to do bad. -Character is sooooooooo slow to move around. -Puzzles are OMG so bad just kicking rolling stone to somewhere and does not make sense. -UI design is just horrible. Why would I want to feel depressed by walking slowly and starting to read notes. I assure you I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ depressed and hate life. I hated this game more than my life. Thank you for showing me there is something worse than my miserable life. Plus, when game gave me achievement when I kicked the electric symboled box, I hated more cause it decreased my total game complation on steam. You can feel depressed and sad in movies such slow paced scenery, calm music and dark atmosphere, but not a game like this. Side scroll with low pixel art cannot immerse you with it.1 found this helpful
I was looking up this game to reference it in another review. Man, it has potential, but it feels like the developers didn't know how to harness it properly. These are vague impressions from two years on, but I wanted to like this game, and just couldn't.1 found this helpful
Very moving. Both physically and emotionally. Beautiful music too.1 found this helpful
