VideoGamerAlice BellMay 20187/10The Thin Silence has a satisfying, creative approach to puzzle solving, alongside a sad story told in equally sad snippets. Though you can reset puzzles and try again as often as you need, you might sometimes still be left at a loss.

GameOctaneJason GerminoMay 2018The Thin Silence is a dark story which will intrigue you, pull you in, rough up some emotions, and spit you back out...in a good way. Though it may not be for everyone, gamers that enjoy stories over action should enjoy The Thin Silence.

Handsome PhantomDave LambdenJun 20187/10What The Thin Silence sets out to do is ambitious. To capture the tonal and emotional depth of recent successes like Limbo is not an easy task. This game accomplishes that in some respect.

COGconnectedPaul SullivanApr 201860/100At about 5 hours long The Thin Silence isn't a huge time investment, but a big chunk of that time is the mechanical segments that only distracted from the more interesting and important story.
