That being said, the game had a decent story and some, SOME, stellar voice acting, in particular I loved Linda and the guitarist. Definitely deserves some of the "Mixed" reviews, but worth the play. Don't buy this at full price.. This game is un-f-word-ing-beleivably bad. I had played two other games by House of Tales, Overclocked and 15 Days, and they were really good, so I thought I'd try this one, and what a mistake that was...The game was mostly mechanically bad. It's very difficult to figure out where to make the character walk to transition screens, some of them have click locations, but others you have to walk to a certain part of the screen to get the transition to happen, and to make it all the worse the character just moves where he wants to anyway.Most of the puzzles aren't overly complicated, though there are a few that are unforgiveable... The real issue is that many of the puzzles involve "go here, then there, then to that other place, then back to there", and the character movement is so bad and slow and you have to go through so many screen transitions to get anywhere that in the end it's just an annoyance. The game is padded with a bunch of walking around. If you end up walking to a location then finding that what you need isn't there, you're going to be angry real fast.About a quarter of the way through I gave up and used a walkthrough for every step of the way, because going to one wrong location meant like five minutes of walking around for nothing. I don't want to waste my time walking around when all I was interested in was the story. Near the end of the game I thought maybe I'd try to figure it out on my own again... Big mistake.The last puzzle in the game was the worst. There are 5 important screens in it that you need to go back and forth between, but you have to walk through 6 screens to get from one to the other, that means there are 36 annoying screens to walk through when all you cared about was 5. To go through them in the most efficient way possible (using a guide) you would walk through 48 annoying screens to solve it. And that's using a guide. Without a guide I'd imagine you'd be doing a lot more than that because there is some trial and error involved.Don't waste your time with this game. There are a lot of better adventure games than this, and for a story driven game it's just not worth it.. Close to one of the best 3rd person adventure games I've played . Amazing graphics and cut scenes. Big differance with "The Moment Of Silence" is it's more like a movie\/game than most pure 3rd person point and click adventures.. Very iIntersting futuristic setting (sort of) and easier gameplay in that you can't make a disasterous mistake. Still took me over 21 hours to play.. That was off and on however! What I really loved about this stroyline is that no matter how long you left it when you came back it never got to the point where i forgot the goal\/mission or what the story was about. That happenes far to often in some adventure games!My only negative to be honest is this game probably has the most I chit chat in it i've ever seen!Still, I'm looking forward to finding more like this!. So here's all you need to know about this game.You start out the game on the 23 story of an apartment building. As you trying to find the next thing you're supposed to be doing you have to go back and forth several times between your apartment and the street below.Each time you have to wait for the elevator to go up and down all 23 floors. EVERY TIME! WTF!!!!. A well written sci-fi adventure. It is by no means perfect, with occasional bugs and awkward movement controls that will occasionally have you wanting to throw your mouse through a window, but worth checking out. Through the game you get a rich sense of the world, told to you through hints and mentions in conversation rather than the heavy-handed exposition we see in most similar games.. I played this game years ago and the story had always stuck with me. When it went on sale, I made sure to buy a copy. The story is positively riveting and predicted the NSA scandal and surveillance drones 10 years before their occurrence. This alone makes the other predictions of the game to be even more interesting\/ominous. I know a game's story is powerfully interesting when my husband takes off his headphones from playing Overwatch to listen to what I'm playing ;)I really appreciate the sheer number of locations and scenes in The Moment of Silence offers. All too often point and click adventure games these days keep to just 3 locations with just a few different points of view. The Moment of Silence keeps you on your toes with a huge variety of locals.I have to say the character movement can be a bit clunky at times. Also, sometimes I had to click on obscure points in order to fully explore an area. While I felt like the majority of the puzzles were orangic and intuitive, there were a good handful that weren't so and were confusing.Overall, if you love a good Sci-Fi story, enough locations to really feel like an adventure, and don't mind keeping a walkthrough handy, The Moment of Silence is a game I would recommend you purchase. If it's on sale for $10 or less, definitely snatch it up!
