With the release of their point-and-click adventure, Elf Games and Luna2, along with publisher Daedalic Entertainment, wanted to share a look into the making of the game. To do that, they shared a developer spotlight video for Children of Silentown where they share some insights about the unique design of the game and more.
The Making Of video tells the tale of how this suggestion snowballed into the game we see today as a full-fledged title, made by this small group of people in their off-hours from their full-time jobs in software development and full-time content creation on YouTube. The passion this team exudes is infectious, poured into the project slowly but steadily over the years. Even Jack, the punk, cannot wait to share it with everyone.
In this game, the story follows Lucy, a young girl growing up next to a monster-filled forest where it’s up to her and the player to solve the surrounding mysteries and learn to use her voice. Play minigames, solve puzzles, and collect clues amid atmospheric music and an eerie yet endearing hand-drawn art style. Songs specifically play a paramount role, depending on how many you’re able to learn, you can find yourself at one of the multiple endings.
Children of Silentown is set to launch on January 11th for PC via Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Curious players can try the free prologue on Steam now ahead of release.
