    The Silent Age is an eerily evocative adventure game that benefits enormously by an extremely well thought out time travel mechanic. In order to solve the wide variety of puzzles, you must use a small device to shift across time from the 1970s to a post apocalyptic future. It's similar to Day of the Tentacle in that respect but make no mistake, this is not a simple clone of old-schoolThe Silent Age is an eerily evocative adventure game that benefits enormously by an extremely well thought out time travel mechanic.

It's similar to Day of the Tentacle in that respect but make no mistake, this is not a simple clone of old-school games. The Silent Age is one of the most uniquely original games to come out of the adventure game mini-renaissance that is occurring on iOS right now. I am greatly anticipating the sequel to this title and truly appreciative that this first chapter is available for free. If you want something more thoughtful than the usual tap tap app crap that is so prevalent in the iOS ecosystem then The Silent Age is not to be missed.… Expand

    The Silent Age promises to be one of the App Store's best new puzzle adventures, combining solid gameplay with a perfect eerie atmosphere to create a truly unique experience. While the game does feel repetitive in some areas and it isn't too long, this game has endless potential and reveals just enough of its interesting story to make players beg for more.

    The Silent Age is very good experience, in the vain of point and click puzzle adventure games. While, for the most part, the puzzles are easy, utilizing a pretty cool time travel mechanic, it's the story and writing that really carry this game through. Every time you click on an item, your character will have something increasingly funny to say each time.

    Clearly, I enjoyed The Silent Age: Episode One, and I think there's a lot to admire here. It's free, and there are no in-app purchases, although you can donate to the developers' efforts to fund and finish Episode Two (of two, if I understand their blog correctly). I'd love to see Joe deliver that message and learn the answers to the mysteries raised in this episode, and I think that if you play it, you'll feel the same way.

    While The Silent Age may not stretch your mental prowess, it's never less than engaging thanks to some great writing.
