7 itemsAbout the Game
Silent Signals is a screen-based detective thriller where your only weapon is your mind. You step into the role of an ethical hacker, hired to investigate the digital remains of missing persons, erased emails, corrupted logs, and locked directories.
Each case is self-contained (like a digital cold case file) and demands logical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to connect fragmented clues. You'll read through forum posts, analyze citizen databases, open suspicious file attachments, and follow subtle breadcrumbs hidden deep in the interface of a simulated operating system.
There are no jumpscares. No timers. No hand-holding.
Just you, a screen, and a mystery waiting to be cracked.
