As GOG’s Summer Sale approaches its conclusion, an enticing opportunity remains for gamers seeking to expand their collections without spending a dime. Until Friday, the point-and-click adventure game Silence, developed by Daedalic, is available for free download.
Exploring Silence
While my personal experience with Silence was less than favorable, it’s important to acknowledge that Daedalic has a strong reputation for crafting engaging adventures. The game boasts beautiful hand-drawn graphics and a narrative that initially appears compelling. However, the reception has been mixed, with Metacritic users rating it around 3.9 out of 5. This score, while not particularly stellar, indicates that it has its merits.
The standout feature of this offer is its cost—or rather, the lack thereof. Simply visit GOG, click the appropriate button, and the game is yours at no expense. If it doesn’t resonate with you, there’s no financial loss. Conversely, if you find enjoyment in it, you’ve gained a new title without spending a cent—a true win-win scenario.
In addition to the free game, GOG is offering the Silence soundtrack at an astonishingly low price of just 29 cents, a remarkable 90% discount from its regular rate. Composed by Tilo Alpermann, the music is genuinely enjoyable and worth considering for those who appreciate game soundtracks.
The Summer Sale also features significant discounts on a variety of other Daedalic titles. Gamers can explore classics such as The Night of the Rabbit, Memoria, Harvey’s New Eyes, Chains of Satinav, Deponia, and the predecessor to Silence, The Whispered World. Each of these titles is available for just , marking a 90% reduction from their usual prices. Notably, Silence was originally subtitled The Whispered World 2 before its release, a detail that adds an interesting layer to its backstory.
With the GOG Summer Sale running until July 9, now is the perfect time for gamers to take advantage of these offers and discover the unique worlds crafted by Daedalic.
