About 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.

Key Features

  • Screen-Based Gameplay: Everything unfolds on a simulated desktop. Emails, logs, folders, browsers, tools.

  • Standalone Story Chapters: Each case is an atmospheric narrative inspired by real-world cyber investigations.

  • Logic-Driven Puzzles: Use deduction, cross-referencing, and digital sleuthing techniques to uncover hidden truths.

  • Diegetic Tools: Unlock and use in-game software like "ISP Records", "Citizen DB", "Media Viewer" to progress.

  • Immersive Mystery Experience: No flashy effects, just a slow-burning thrill for the mind.
