Silhouette: Chapter One

Potential. The art style & character aesthetic are solid. The sound, both ambient & music. The story seems like it could prove interesting. I'm recommending this because I'm a sucker for art & style & noir; I'm not at this stage recommending it for content length or gameplay quality. Here's why. The gameplay is not there... The first mission, you need to find x number of clues & all the objects are white, when you pick up irrelevant ones they turn black, relevant ones reveal what they are & the game doesn't provide direction and so you click on everything until you find (I think it was 6 items) & then you go to the next level, this was not compelling. The second mission, was a long cutscene with some dialogue prompts for jokes where you listen to the Coroner talk about the evidence you collected & the body that was discovered; a lot more could have been done here besides wise cracking. It doesn't need to be something like Law & Order: Legacies but at the very least I could have had ...

Very impressed with this game so far. It has a beautiful aesthetic that looks really great. At first it's a bit strange to see that there aren't any textures in the game, but then you notice the subtle details in the models or the lighting and the spot use of color and after a while it really grows on you. Love the Farm Country level, it's gorgeous and fun to explore. Really wasn't expecting the kind of gore at the farm crime scene and this is when I realized that the visual aesthetic helps to make it feel more like a cartoon which means it's easier to stomach. The gameplay is pretty much exactly what it says on the store page - it's a point and click adventure game in first person. At first I was worried that it would get boring, but I think the developer has found the right balance between exploration, clue finding and story so It doesn't feel like a walking simulator. Really interested to see where this goes. Sure, it's a bit short but if it actually gets up to 6 hours long when it...

Its a very nice little game, the early access is fairly short, but it leaves you with wanting more of the story. Where is this going? You play as a detective trying to solve a case of murders. Check out some gameplay here. https://youtu.be/WamqXbpJfXY

It's kinda disappointing since there are so many glitches and breaks of voice. Not to mention how there is no sense of crime scene preservation. But the graphics are pretty awesome... Hope it gets programmed better Maybe then it wouldn't be so frustrating Not to mention the detective is pretty much stating the obvious and I'm going I know that and you oughta tell me more about this but you won't ToT

I played the first mission. I opened every drawer and cupboard. I found lots of objects that had nothing to do to the case. THEN A BIG BREAK HAPPENED> I found some pills in the toilet, but nothing happened when I picked them up. Who flushes pills? idk the case will never be solved. Also there's no textures at all in this game and nobody has any pupils. It's creepy as shit and now my kid sister Fregorgregori has terrible nightmares and is pissing herself worse than that VR dude. Overall an updsetting experience. :(

Couldn't play for more than ten minutes without getting terrible motion sickness. Dev did not respond to request for a workaround -- just removing the headbob would have solved the problem.

Very interesting indie detective game! I like the stylized world, the splashes of colour, and how you can pick up everything and throw things around, that was fun. It took a minute to figure out that you have to hold down the right mouse button and then click the left button to throw objects. I liked the music in the first scene, it added to the creepiness of the story. But by the third scene the music was annoying me. I love games where you can choose what you want to say, that was a nice addition. I liked how I could walk around the morgue while she was talking too, I was even able to pick up a dead body from compartment in the wall! Gross. I also thought the credits were so cool, I've never seen credits presented that way before. Looking forward to the next chapter of the game, it's nice that early buyers get all future chapters for free. Time to go check if my dish soap is actually dish soap...

Silhouette is a fantastic game so far, it has really great detective mechanics and I can't wait for the updates.

I have high hopes for this. At its current point in development, there's only 30-45 minutes worth of gameplay, but what I've seen so far has been wonderful. The graphic style is beautifully simplistic, lending itself well to the noir aesthetics and atmosphere. The story is intriguing, although we've only scratched the surface of it. The voice acting is great, and there's good chemistry between the characters. Gameplay is pretty basic, though, and I'd definitely like to see a lot more challenge added to the investigative parts. Of course, being early access, it has some quirky mechanics, but the environment interaction and physics engine aren't wonky or counter-intuitive. They just need to be tweaked a bit. My biggest concern is that the dev put this up for Early Access too soon. $5.00 isn't a lot of money, but there's very little game content right now, and this is a single-dev project. As long as the dev keeps up with it, and is able to put out regular updates, I can see this being ...
