Dec. 2024
I genuinely enjoyed this game, despite some elements not being super polished, and a few puzzles that left me utterly stumped. However, we managed to navigate through without resorting to cheat guides, which added to the sense of achievement. The jump scares are executed brilliantly, and the sound design, like the unsettling creaks of the house, combined with the oppressive silence, crafts an intense, chilling atmosphere. If you're a fan of narrative-driven horror with a focus on exploration and survival, Silver Chains does a great job!

Silver Chains - A Short but Chilling Horror Experience “An atmospheric horror game with impressive visuals, a few solid scares, and a tastefully creepy manor setting, but hindered by its brevity and some pacing issues.” Silver Chains takes the classic horror formula—a deserted mansion, sinister backstory, and creepy dolls—and combines it with an eerie setting and decent scares to create a short but memorable horror experience. Set in an old English manor in the early 1900s, you find yourself piecing together the history of the mansion and its connection to the protagonist. While the narrative is intriguing, it sometimes lacks direction, leading to moments of frustrating aimlessness. Atmosphere and Graphics The manor is beautifully rendered with detailed graphics and an impressive level of environmental storytelling. The ghostly presences and the haunting visuals are skillfully executed, with a notable scare factor provided by the terrifying ‘Mother’ character, who delivers some pulse-pounding moments. However, despite its atmospheric strengths, the audio design is only moderately effective, often failing to build the suspense necessary for a fully immersive horror experience. Gameplay Mechanics Though primarily an exploration-based horror game, Silver Chains introduces a few chase sequences and hiding mechanics, making it more engaging than a simple walking simulator. The game’s puzzles, though limited, are cleverly designed, requiring some exploration to locate clues and piece together combinations. However, the lack of a quest log and minimal guidance makes the game feel aimless at times, with moments where players may find themselves wandering in circles. The Downsides At around 2-3 hours of playtime, Silver Chains feels too short for its full price. Some later sections lack the polish of the first half, with backtracking and progression issues that detract from the otherwise engaging experience. The game’s climactic encounter falls flat, relying too much on repetitive loops rather than an innovative horror showdown. Final Verdict Silver Chains is a haunting experience that, while flawed, will appeal to horror fans, especially if picked up during a sale. Though it’s short and occasionally frustrating, its engaging visuals and intense atmosphere make it a worthwhile addition to any horror enthusiast’s collection.

Honestly, not a bad game. For the price, I'd wait for it to go on a big sale because I beat it in about 2.5hrs. It's not very intuitive so I found myself wandering around a lot to figure out what to do (and might have cheated and used a guide on a part or two out of frustration). The story is a bit confusing and weird, but it's alright. All in all, I enjoyed it, but is it worth full price? Nah. I'll give it a tentative yes because I liked the style and story.

While it may not be extraordinarily fresh or remarkably unique, it's a sufficiently satisfying horror game. However, if it’s not on sale, the steep price might be disappointing.
