Silver Script Games has developed a game to open a conversation about the more taboo aspects of mental health. The Quiet Things takes a look at the impact childhood abuse can have on a person. The game shows the reality of abuse and the impact it can have on young people. The Quiet Things is, at its core, a walking simulator. This element lets you traverse the world with ease, regardless of your ability.
Being Silver Scripts Games’ first debut title of their game development journey, they want players to know where they drew inspiration from. Games like Gone Home, What Remains of Edith Finch and That Dragon, Cancer all influence their work. However, the biggest influence was the Life is Strange series. The atmosphere and style of these games naturally shines through into what they’re working on.
