Play anywhere
The truth is, if you grew up in the heyday of LucasArts with its many graphic adventures, which rivaled those of Roberta Williams’ Sierra On-line, it’s sure that every time one of these launches pops up, your flesh will open and some of your old experiences in this video game is out of place. After all, we’re talking about one of the most narrative and absorbing genres out there that has millions of followers around the world.
Companies know this perfectly well and that is why they never forget to launch a good Point and click to the market, knowing that there is an audience hungry for new legends, puzzles and unknowns to solve stroke of genius or luck. And that’s the case Children of Silentown, which hit the (digital) stores of all known platforms on January 11: both on PC (Steam, GoG and Epic Store) as well as on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. So technically you can enjoy it just about anywhere.
In addition, its price is perfect because in any case it amounts to 19.99 dollars, which is not too high an expense for the many hours he will entertain us. Even on Steam you have it with a 10% discount and it remains at only 17.99.
What does this game tell us?
This title developed by Elf Games and Luna2 Studio tells us the story of Lucy, a girl who lives in a town inside a forest deep in which horrible monsters live and who wants to uncover the mystery behind the disappearances of other friends. So we will have to be wide awake checking all the clues that everyone leaves, follow them and end up clarifying who is behind it.
One of the features that claims Children of Silentown is that all his graphics are hand drawnor for what they maintain a storybook appearance that suits him very well, despite the fact that the children, with these empty eyes, remind us of the mythical film of The city of the damnedfrom 1960, and that more than one of us lost sleep when we first saw it as little ones.
So now you know, if you want to continue the adventurous part started last year with Back to Monkey Island, take advantage of the launch of Children of Silentown that, by the way, you have translated into Spanish, at least the texts, since the dialogues are kept in the original English. Too bad, don’t you think?
