    SILT is an interesting experience in atmospheric puzzle gaming. The underwater sound design muffling everything around you manages to immerse you into the sea bottom world as you solve the well designed puzzles throughout. There are a few areas near the very end of the game that get frustrating, but I could count the number of rooms like that on one hand. If you like something creepy, something that gets the gears in your brain turning, or for some reason just like the scary part of the ocean, you should definitely slap on a diving suit and jump headfirst into SILT.

    An underwater adventure with a sombre twist, Silt is host to some fantastic platforming and puzzle-solving that dares you to explore its terrifying depths even further. Not everyone will have the patience to uncover its mysteries, but those who do will be rewarded.

    SILT has really good ideas that sometimes are obscured by its lineal design. However, this doesn’t prevent it from being a very interesting experience.

    It's flaws make it so it doesn't stand on the same ground as the games it takes inspiration from, but the oppressive setting and the possession mechanic make Silt a great option for those who love this kind of surrealist games.

    Silt is fun to play and features a very attractive monochrome art direction, as well as a deliciously dark atmosphere. Everything would be perfect if Journey, Limbo, Inside, Abzû or Little Nightmares hadn't already been there. The title of Spiral Circus was certainly made with passion, but it does not manage to stand out enough from its models.

    The strength of Silt is in the atmosphere it creates. The art and the sound provide a horror-like vibe to this adventure puzzle game. And both of those aspects will pull you into the weird and mysterious world that Silt creates. The game doesn’t hold your hand in any of the puzzles. And while most times this isn’t an issue, as the puzzles are reasonably short and contained, it’s the lengthier ones where this can cause some frustration. Overall, Silt provides a unique experience, just not a perfect one.

    Despite its original art style, eerie mood and fast paced puzzles, the game doesn't redeem itself from its simplicity and boredom. It's very short, which is a good thing, and only recommended for those who don't have anything better to play.

    Beautiful game. The artwork is stunning. Every screenshot is amazing. The puzzles are fun and challenging. Hoping for a Silt 2!

The visual comparison to games like Limbo will soon be forgotten I’m sure. Silt is an indie game with its own nightmarish rules and a subtle logic. There is challenge to be had in its puzzles, so if mind-bending nightmares are your thing, and if you like the thought of possessing and sucking up the souls of giant creatures then hopefully you also think it deserves the award below.… Expand

    This game is painfully blend. Extremely basic gameplay with repetitive and uninspiring "puzzles", boring enemies, and abilities. LacklusterThis game is painfully blend. Extremely basic gameplay with repetitive and uninspiring "puzzles", boring enemies, and abilities. Lackluster level design and tons of unnecessary loading screens.

    This game tries to be like other successful titles in this "creepy puzzle platformers", and fails miserably in pretty every aspect, except may art, and even that sometimes clashes with overall aesthetic of the game.

    There is very little to explore, solve, or discover.    … Expand
