    The Thin Silence is a thoughtful, well paced adventure through the dark world of mental illness. It won't cost you much in the way of money or time but what it will give you is an interesting journey of self reflection and a positive message of courage in finding self worth.

    The game isn't something new in design but the idea is unique. It puts the player in a position, hoping for them to understand mental health issues. It does seem quite inconsistent in design, however, sometimes the game is a little bit bland but sometimes it can be pretty. The pace of the story could have been picked up a bit also which kind of sets an unnecessarily slow pace. The gameThe game isn't something new in design but the idea is unique.

    At moments a beautiful depiction of the struggles of mental health, but a greater progression should have been felt throughout.

    While it takes a few narrative missteps, The Thin Silence oozes raw emotion as it courageously bares the suffocating reality of depression and loneliness, yet still manages to be a fairly entertaining game in its own right.

    The 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.
