SILT

This game is beyond gorgeous. The graphics are perfect and make exploring this underwater world mesmerizing. Gameplay is straightforward and the tutorial is good. Puzzles are mostly engaging, with only one very exasperating area that requires very fast fingers. There are a few areas that I think are a little underclued— where I was just roaming around trying everything I could think of. I did have to go to a walkthrough once because I just couldn’t figure out what to do to progress, and it was something I had tried, but not for long enough. Finding the perfect level of cluing in game development is very difficult, though. I highly recommend playing this in the dark, since the screen is so dark on iPad that it’s sometimes very difficult to see exits or clues. Also, I turn off sound nearly 100% of the time when I play games, and I kept it on with this game. Excellent and unobtrusive sound. Well worth the purchase price and I loved playing. Thanks, devs!

Very fun and intriguing game. Easy gameplay, smooth and satisfying. Played on an iPad 13in, would’ve loved the ability to shrink the game controls to not take up the majority of the screen real estate. Also would’ve loved if the controls disappeared during cutscenes. Sometimes it was confusing as to whether or not I should be interacting with the game at that moment or not. And again, they blocked the view of the visuals pretty substantially. Thoroughly enjoyed otherwise, worth the few bucks for the full experience.

I adore the detail of the fish and monsters that are in this game, and the detail that’s included around them, and the game isn’t to scary itself, it’s fascinating what fish or monsters you come upon, and when you see the bigger ones you might think, oh wow when did that get there. I’m not entirely sure I’ve only encountered one, and that one really surprised me. The controls aren’t too hard to work with, and the main menu only has 3 options, Continue, Settings, and Main Menu. I haven’t gotten the full version yet but I plan to eventually. Silt seems like a really interesting game to continue playing so far, so I’d love to play some more when I get the chance. I hope more people find this game and enjoy it as much as I do. My experience - I swam towards something thinking, I’ve found the exit, Yes! But I was fooled of course, I was startled, scarred, and somewhat surprised. I trapped myself in a corner after that but soon I finally found my way out, I almost opened a new save and gave up on that one, but I found my way out after a good while.
