I was sitting on VKontakte, as always, and went to my favorite group for my favorite game Silent Hill. There was a post about the game that was released on October 1st “Silence of the sleep”, which many fans called two-cheap (or whatever the word should be called?) Silent. Of course, I became interested, downloaded it on a torrent (hehe), and away we go.

The game was created by one person, which makes it even more interesting. This game is not even on this site and it is unlikely that anyone will play it after my entry, but I have to write the following:
THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE GAME:
It starts like this:

Jacob Reeves (or as his last name is pronounced Reeves?) commits suicide and ends up in some strange place. He then tries to figure out what the hell is going on and what kind of monster is giggling at him while he hides in the toilet stall.
I won’t describe all the details of the game and the plot, and that’s not why I’m here. And I’m here because I just want to express my opinion.
I really like the music in the game, it’s very epic. And not only the music itself, but the sounds themselves, which are aimed at frightening a person. When a monster is nearby, these sounds are simply terrifying. Speaking of monsters. They can be sudden, or you can simply follow their moves. We don’t beat these creatures, we just hide and do our best to avoid being noticed. Like this

(Jacob is behind the boxes, https://millionairecasino.uk/bonus/ and what looks like a tree with heads is a monster)

What I also like is that you don’t just run around a dark area and hide from shadows, but there are also locations where you just communicate with people and nothing scary happens (well, except for some sudden fleeting moments). It’s nice to walk back and forth once again, knowing that no monster will crawl out of the boxes (in which I should actually be hiding, but it doesn’t matter).

In general, even though this is an indie game with super scary elements, I didn’t want to quit it and never return to it, which is what I usually do. I’m just an impressionable person and I’m scared of everything (I learned the history of Silent from cover to cover from slightly different sources 😀 but not all of it, of course). I wanted to return to Silence of the sleep.

What I liked the most was the mental hospital. The stump is clear, because this is one of the main locations. There was a doctor, patients, therapy. Eating together (Heart is where the food is – written in the dining room), spending leisure time. Lyrical music, tablets! In general, I myself felt sick and wanted to go… well, to Mark there. There’s even a therapy session where Jacob supposedly draws and I drew. Then they explained to me what this means, but it seems like it means the same thing for everyone 🙁

I didn’t understand what some of the characters were doing in this hospital. Well, according to logic, everything is clear that they are all like the main character for something, BUT, why then did they all disappear?? (this is a question for those who have played or will, and then they will answer me :D)

The riddles there are basically simple, but not for me, ha! Well, for me it was more likely not the riddles themselves that were difficult, but the situations of what are you supposed to do. In general, I have a hard time with this, I never know what to do: D Actually, this hairpin is in the lock, I’m tired of it and I repent, I grieve, it doesn’t give me peace, but I had to look on the Internet, what to do with it and how to twist it. But that’s all, I didn’t watch anymore!… Well, yes, I looked, but this location, where the monsters are, everything is dark, there are a lot of moves, it’s unclear. I’ve still figured out this map… I guess I still haven’t figured it out. (no, it doesn’t mean that I watched the walkthrough of the entire location, I only looked at the end)
There’s just a map, there’s no screenshot in Google, and I can’t do it, because I need to return to the location, and that’s going through again, and that’s postponing the post. Okay, everything couldn’t be more boring anyway, so here it is! There were just some kind of square spaces, which are usually taken as rooms in games, but I moved along some pipes, walls, which were indicated on the map by a wide strip. Therefore, for now you will figure out where you are, where to go and what kind of valves are with the car (there was no marking where you are now, as is usually done).
And also, and also the mystery with the piano. Along the way we were given a combination of numbers and a piece of paper with these numbers and holes next to them. I’m so logical, I thought I needed to guess the combination. I tried to substitute holes for the keys or numbers with letters on the keys, made a bunch of options, lost everything, and in the end I had to substitute this piece of paper for the text that I had seen before, but did not pay attention to it. Everything turned out to be simpler, damn!

I also can’t understand some of the characters. Who are they. For example, a guy with a red tie and a white coat. Like an angel and a demon, lol, but the demon helped more often. Although who knows who helped with what, the man with the tie said that he is my only best friend, and I like such words. You can philosophize on the topic of who they are, but I’m not much of a philosopher, as you already understand.

In general, play Silence of the sleep and spend a couple of hours enjoying it (Well, this is a subjective opinion, otherwise you’ll rush to play, it’s boring, and angry comments will fly at me. Well, at least there will be some!)
