The value story
It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was December 2025. 34 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 18 percent on value. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Children of Silentown: Prologue (free, scores 82) outscores it, and so does Fran Bow ($14.99, scores 83). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Of the 437 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2023 to August 2026.

What players say
I really enjoyed this game. I got stuck once because there aren't very many hints on what you need to do. In one case you have to walk in a very specific place and I don't know if I would have ever figured that out on my own. I do like that there are multiple endings and the achievements have a good range of things to do. Overall I spend around 40 hours on this game. Definitely worth playing.
the atmosphere of this game is perfect. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and playing multiple runs to do so. 10/10 beautiful and story rich game
Children of Silentown is a great point-and-click adventure with a beautiful art style, fitting background music, and a unique, dark story. There was a good number of puzzles, and they weren't particularly difficult. I didn't notice any bugs.
