A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

The Silence Is Loud is a narrative-driven psychological adventure that takes you deep into the isolating experience of solitude. Through the interface of an old smartphone, you'll engage in a series of seemingly mundane, yet hauntingly emotional conversations that reveal the true weight of being alone. In a world without others, AÏ becomes the only source of comfort—but at what cost?

As you navigate through the conversations, make choices that will shape your character's connection to the only voice they have left. Explore themes of isolation, hope, and despair, all while unraveling the unsettling reality behind AÏ... The phone is your only companion, yet every word exchanged brings you closer to an unspoken truth—one that might just shatter the silence forever.

Features:

  • Immersive narrative told through text messages and phone interactions.
  • A deeply emotional story exploring the dark side of solitude and human longing.
  • Atmospheric pixel art visuals capturing the haunting beauty of being alone.
  • Multiple choices that affect dialogue but converge towards an inevitable, thought-provoking conclusion.

Play alone, and discover if the silence is really as comforting as it seems, or if there's something more beneath the surface—something that echoes in the dark.



For my submission to the 'Safe In Our World Mental Health Game Jam,' I developed the game independently and fall within the 18-24 age category.
