  If you’re looking for a creepy mystery adventure game with less emphasis on traditional point-and-click mechanics, Children of Silentown could be for you. However, some bland characters hinder it, and most of the storyline is confined too long in one play area.

  The story manages to keep your attention throughout thanks to the great writing and tense atmosphere, and the art direction is fantastic. The introduction of a unique mechanic in the form of Lucy’s singing and the sheer variety of puzzles ensure that Children of Silentown cements its identity as a point-and-click adventure without feeling repetitive or gimmicky.

  Children of Silentown applies the same formula to the traditional point & click adventure genre but augments it with some interesting elements like a unique art style and some really interesting puzzles. Although it does manage to be intriguing and keep you engaged till the end, it fails to deliver the conclusion of an otherwise enjoyable journey.

  The puzzles are reasonably challenging and varied, with appealing visuals that help amplify the game’s moody atmosphere. Although the pacing drags in certain areas, Children of Silentown is an enjoyable point-and-click game overall and I would recommend it for both fans of the genre and puzzle game aficionados alike.

  Children of Silentown is a fantastic game that conjures imagery of a Tim Burton-esque world. The gorgeous visuals combined with the slow and methodical gameplay create a tight gameplay loop.

  Nothing is gained from watching Lucy tread circles around her adversaries and her friends, and none of the factions involved care since the story is quick to dispose of everyone without a second thought. A truly nihilistic and borderline irresponsible showcase in design, narrative, and feeling.
