Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Children A Silent
0:06
Town prologue on not now mom I'm gaming.
0:10
These are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:15
department. Links to this review are in
0:17
the description below. Let the reviewing
0:21
Pros: Good buildup. I think I saw
0:24
someone complain that the prologue was
0:26
too short and didn't do anything to pull
0:28
them in, but I disagree with that
0:29
statement. You clearly understand the
0:32
forest is a threat. We over hear our
0:34
parents talking about someone going
0:35
missing, and we've come across some kind
0:37
of presence. In addition to the
0:40
storyline setup, the overall art and
0:42
soundtrack is also enough to pull me in.
0:45
I think the one thing that felt
0:46
disappointing is the inability to find
0:48
all the notes and stickers, unless I
0:52
Great soundtrack. Maybe a little too
0:55
good at times. Even during the moments
0:58
of casual play, I wanted to stop and
1:00
listen or I'd be paying too much
1:01
attention to the music and not enough to
1:03
the character speaking. The changes just
1:06
from being in the living room to going
1:07
to stepping into the basement was so
1:09
good. And the music to the ending scene
1:12
creeped me out more than the idea
1:16
Unique character design. The only thing
1:18
I can compare them to are the characters
1:20
in Last Day of June. Very unsettling to
1:23
look at them, but oddly endearing in
1:25
their own way. I'm pretty sure the eyes
1:28
of Silent Town citizens are meant to
1:29
represent insomnia due to their fear of
1:32
monsters in the forest.
1:34
Simple inventory management. You don't
1:37
hold a lot of items at once, and you
1:38
only have to press a button to bring up
1:40
the inventory on the left side. Once
1:42
you're holding an item, the inventory
1:43
automatically closes. It makes it very
1:48
Cons: Unable to tain every collectible,
1:51
and if it is possible, then I must have
1:54
glazed over them. Though, I'm pretty
1:55
sure I clicked on everything I could.
1:58
The only thing I can think of is to
1:59
interact multiple times with things, but
2:01
again, I don't. Even it is a prologue, I
2:04
do feel kind of jipped for not being
2:08
And that's the end of our pros and cons
