What players say
The Silent Age tells the story of a complete f*cking idiot who saves the world. There's hope for me yet.
i used to play this game a lot when i was younger i didnt understand it at all aside from time travel but now in the current year reading the dialog i realize how interesting the story is and how mind bending the plot goes i very much would get this game if i were whoever is watching this (though i think you should get this on mobile to save a few bucks still costs money but not as much im pretty sure)
An amazing experience. My only intention was to power through my backlogs, didn't expect a banger.
