Jun 1, 2022SILT 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.

Jun 1, 2022An 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.

Jun 6, 2022SILT has really good ideas that sometimes are obscured by its lineal design. However, this doesn’t prevent it from being a very interesting experience.

Jun 1, 2022Silt is a unique game that perfectly blends the themes of horror and isolation. Due to the abominations that manifest within, unease spreads throughout and you will second-guess every narrow path. The wonderful puzzles offer a suitable level of challenge which will you keep you content. Even though the movement is a little rigid and it is relatively short, it’s a brilliant experience that taps into the darkest, depths of thalassophobia.

Jun 1, 2022A solid debut: an all-round superior puzzle adventure with a beautiful design and subtle horror that is neither original nor challenging in terms of play.

Jun 7, 2022Silt 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.

Jun 6, 2022The 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.

Jun 3, 2022It'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.

Jun 13, 2022Silt is a beautiful looking game, but the sluggish movement and lack of checkpointing make it hard to recommend.
-
Jun 15, 2022Despite 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.
