The Silent House - Anniversary Edition

Sam Gordon, an investigator who’s struggling financially to keep himself afloat, gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he’s called to handle an old drug abuse case that has resurfaced. Coincidentally enough, he also hears about a recent abduction case within the same area. He arrives to the mansion of the late Dr. Stone. The mansion itself is secluded in the middle of the forest, not too far from society. Sam parks outside and enters the abandoned property, prepared to do whatever it takes to keep his job intact. What he discovers will not only shape the outcome of his career, but his very life may be at risk as the detective realizes the home of Dr. Stone isn’t as silent as the police reports claim.

Sam comes equipped with a flashlight, but wasn’t prepared for unexpected residents within the Stone property. He relies on quick-thinking and caution to evade any threats within the location, whether that’s to flee or hide. Sam is able to hop into closets and cower under tables in order to outsmart his narrow minded, but bloodthirsty, foes. He may have to activate secret switches within the property to reveal hidden doorways and start up old machinery to progress.

There are various experiences within The Silent House that should keep any player engaged with the intense dread surrounding the game, whether that’s investigating the property or reliving the events leading up to the mansion’s silence. There are various achievements you can earn for those who believe they’re up for some challenges. Are you ready to survive the chemically-enhanced terrors that reside on the property?

For those who don’t quite know how the controls work, here they are, laid out for your convenient viewing pleasure. Additionally, there are some tips to consider:

WASD- Move around the environment.
Left Mouse Button or E- Interact with the environment around you.
Right Mouse Button- Toggle the flashlight.
Left Shift- Sprint away from danger, but remember to manage your breath.
Left Ctrl- Crouch in order to tuck yourself under tables.
Space- Put a note you’ve read back down.
Esc- Access the pause menu.

The development of The Silent House started as a casual project in my christmas holidays of 2016. I kind of forgot about it for a while after I picked it up again in early 2017 and began creating a demo version. I released the first demo version in may 2017 and was quite surprised to how pupolar it got (not that it was insanely pupolar but enough to surpass my expectations).
The full version was released a few months later then.
The whole project is a huge achievement for me. I gained a lot of experience from it, and got to know a bunch of really nice and likeminded people!

There maybe still bugs in the game that are yet to be discovered. I did my best and played through the game multiple times to filter out all bugs that I could possibly find before release, but as it happens, there are still some left. So if you find any I would really appreaciate it, if you would leave a comment on this game page and let me know about it!
A know bug, that I don't know how to fix(seems to be something internal in Unity3d) is that some of the maps get a pink and orange tint to them when running the game on certain devices. So yea, sorry about that, I've done a lot of research but couldn'd find a solution for this.
