Children of Silentown tells the mysterious story of a girl named Lucy who lives in a village deep in a monster-infested forest. Disappearances have become commonplace here, but the main character thinks he’s old enough to conduct his own investigation.
“We wanted our characters to look cute and scary at the same time.”, — revealed character and background artist Francesca Presentini in a recent development diary for Children of Silentown. The artistic style of the game is influenced not only by the work of Tim Burton, but also by the animated film “Coraline in Nightmare Land” directed by Henry Selick (Henry Selick).

The authors of the first review materials praise the project for its compelling story, engaging and simple game mechanics, memorable characters, and outstanding art style.
But the lack of clues in the levels, not always obvious solutions to some puzzles and the need to re-examine the passed places in some cases have become the main reasons for dissatisfaction.
