Ultimately we are left with a game that offers many interesting and unique ideas but fails to pull them off effectively. The balance between aesthetics and enjoyable play are thrown off by the preference to the former. Silence of the Sleep proves that the developer, Jesse Makkonen, has something interesting and new to offer in terms of visuals, but not enough people will be drawn in without consistent storytelling and compelling gameplay to accompany it.

Silence of the Sleep is a divisive game thanks to its thematic elements and presentation. Many may find their immersion broken when a strange new minigame appears, or when they’re forced into an annoying stealth segment. Although they are not executed to perfection, Silence of the Sleep provides a fairly solid adventure game experience. It’s especially impressive when considering how a lone developer was able to create a cohesive, compelling product.

Silence of the Sleep has a horrifying atmosphere and a story of grotesque sadness. Unfortunately, the game portion of this game is largely just rehashes of modern horror games and bygone adventure games. The story would definitely hold up as a movie or book, but as an interactive experience, the game never manages to feel like more than a series of great ideas stacked on plain ones.

Silence of the Sleep es un título que atrapa desde el primer momento por una historia muy interesante y una estética muy personal y acertada. Tiene problemas que lo frenan a la hora de sobresalir, como un desarrollo un tanto lento que se hace más tedioso por unos controles que responden bastante peor de lo que deberían.

Puede que esté desarrollada por una única persona, pero Silence of the Sleep es una aventura de terror interesante que os hará pasar buenos momentos descifrando los oscuros secretos que se ocultan en su interior. Lo bien que combina elementos jugables propios de las aventuras gráficas con el survival horror es digno de mención, como también lo es su puesta en escena. No es un título para todos los públicos y tiene sus fallos, pero los fans del terror seguro que pasáis un buen rato.

Silence of the Sleep bietet soliden Horror ohne große Überraschungen. Düsterer Terror und entspanntes Erkunden wechseln sich routiniert ab. Die ordentlichen Rätsel und Minispiele erfüllen ihren Zweck und die Geschichte bleibt bis zum Ende interessant. Dennoch reichen Atmosphäre und Handlung nicht an das Gold-prämierte The Cat Lady heran, da man auf eine Vertonung der guten Dialoge verzichtet hat.
