7.0
The Thin Silence has a satisfying, creative approach to puzzle solving, alongside a sad story told in equally sad snippets. Though you can reset puzzles and try again as often as you need, you might sometimes still be left at a loss.

Critic reviews
- What The Thin Silence sets out to do is ambitious. To capture the tonal and emotional depth of recent successes like Limbo is not an easy task. This game accomplishes that in some respect. While it could have benefited from more relatable subject matter and better puzzle variety towards the end of it all, The Thin Silence is still something to experience. It offers a unique sense of immersion into a theme that we don’t often see in our medium. The game succeeds in offering a glimpse into what many people suffer through every single day and the challenge they face to restore mental health.
- 6.0At about 5 hours long The Thin Silence isn’t a huge time investment, but a big chunk of that time is the mechanical segments that only distracted from the more interesting and important story. If you’re primarily interested in a story and don’t consider Walking Simulator to be a four-letter word, there are some interesting ideas in play in The Thin Silence – just don’t expect to find adventure game nirvana along the way.
- 6.0The Thin Silence hits all the right notes when it comes to the puzzling situations faced, with extremely smart ways of working through the various stages faced, continuously crafting new objects to aid with progress. Sadly, it does hold itself back too much with a painfully slow walking pace for the lead character, and some weighty prose that misses the mark, too often proving to actually be boring and/or confusing.
- 7.0La música, el sonido, el silencio, tres aspectos que el equipo desarrollador ha tenido en cuenta con el objetivo de crear la atmósfera requerida. Su aspecto gráfico, por su parte, sigue la línea pixel art de muchas de las producciones indie actuales. Sin grandes pretensiones, el aspecto retro sigue teniendo el encanto de siempre.
- 7.0In quattro-cinque ore, The Thin Silence riesce a raccontare una storia convincente e d'impatto, basata su tematiche forti legate alla salute mentale. Il sistema di gioco e l'impianto ludico creato dagli sviluppatori sono come un vestito grezzo che lascia intravedere le forme del protagonista, alcune delle quali sono però un po' sgraziate.
