It is by no means perfect, with occasional bugs and awkward movement controls that will occasionally have you wanting to throw your mouse through a window, but worth checking out. Through the game you get a rich sense of the world, told to you through hints and mentions in conversation rather than the heavy-handed exposition we see in most similar games.. This game had an excellent story, and generally good puzzles, but a few bad mechanics made it very tedious to play. Camera angles were poorly planned, often flipping around in the middle of a scene. This turns forward into backwrd, and left into right. This made the game very disorienting and confusing to play, *especially* during maze sections. Often, only part of a room would be shown, and you would have to find the correct place to move your character so you could access a new camera view. Poor pathing and having to guess what position would trigger the change made this excruciating. Finally, there were often large, open spaces that our character needed to cover, in one case dozens of times for the same puzzle, and there was no zip or quick exit feature. You have to watch your character run slowly through the whole space *every* *single* *time*. Can I recommend this game? It has a good story. However, it is unacceptable that the dev team let these mechanical issues persist past development, let alone playtesting. Play it if you're very patient.. great game!. At first I thought 'The Moment of Silence' was a decent game if somewhat dry and generic with awkward controls that left me not knowing where to click on the screen to move from one location to another. By the time I was two thirds of the way through the game I just wished that it was over, and really that I hadn't even started playing the game in the first place... even as I managed to crawl to the end of the story. Whatever interesting ideas there are in this game are buried under way too many transition screens and shopping lists of dialogue.Another thing that really got me was the lack of decent roles for the female characters. After dead wives; helpless wives; manipulative online girlfriends; silent secretaries; defective AI; and untrustworthy street solicitors I was starting to think that maybe it would be nice to get some variety in the female NPCs that you interactive with in this game. But then I was introduced to an even worse female character (a ditsy skimpily dressed resort hostess who unwittingly described how she got her job by being pretty and failing an IQ test) and I started thinking that maybe the poor roles for female characters was on purpose. I certainly didn't see any problems with the roles for male characters.I just don't think it's worth digging through the mountain of generic ideas; poor mechanics and controls; and seeming misogyny to find the good in this game. I wouldn't recommend 'The Moment of Silence' even if it was free.. This is reasonably constructed point and click adventure with some good points but it has some serious flaws that make the price of \u00a314 way too expensive. If you find it on a half price sale it is worth considering.The premise of this game is that you are a man in New York who, soon after moving into a new apartment, observes a police squad forcefully arresting and abducting his neighbour while his terrified wife amd son look on. In your attempt to support the man's family you discover all sorts of strange facts that suggest dark and conspiratorial motives for his arrest.The gameplay is that of a traditional point and click adventure. Most of the plot advancement is through conversation and exploring. There are some inventory based puzzles too, but not enough in my opinion.The good:Despite the occasional weak translations (to English) the characters are believable and the voice acting is pretty good.The plot is engaging and sensible and doesn't leave any unanswered questions.Object based puzzles are sensible.The bad:-The pathing is terrible. It is downright difficult to transition between some screens and the main character will sometimes run around in a circle before going where you want him to.-The scenery involves huge areas that take ages to get across and redundant screens. This makes moving between locations tedious and annoying. This actively ruins one of the better puzzles because it takes a couple of minutes to go from the place where you push a button to the place where you get feedback.- Advancing the plot relies heavily on triggers. Sometimes those are sensible (like interrogating a character to reveal a new location) but some triggers are completely irrelevant to the plot (for example you know what to do and where to go but you can't do it until you've talked to your friend in the office, who has nothing whatsoever to do with the story).I got this in a sale so I'm not disappointed I bought it but it is thoroughly mediocre.. Ahhhh Moment of Silence, does it get anymore mediocre? Released back in 2004 you would swear it was made in 1994. It falls for a lot of the pit falls many 90's point and click adventure games did back in those days(I still loved many) and the graphics are about on par for the era. You will find yourself wondering have I explored this whole area or do I need to attempt to walk off screen in some weird fashion(yes it's one of those)? You will also find yourself at the mercy of multiple illogical or poorly designed puzzles although the game isn't terribly difficult. It is packed with boring dialogue and little action even for an adventure game. The game has a post 9\/11 USA feel to it with government so large it is watching everyone all the time. Very Orwellian feeling. I actually did enjoy this aspect of the game and the statement it was trying to make but not enough to forgive its annoyances. Play it if you've already played through all of the great point and clicks but please, dear god, don't make it one of the few you'll ever try. You may find yourself wondering,"I haven't even played through all the Sam and Max franchise what am I doing playing this #$%&!". I'd have rather watched a gameplay instead of trying to find where the game devs thought it was logical to go. For a person who got used to games with bigger interactivity, it was frustrating all the way. Can't put myself to finish it.. I was quite surprised and emotional to see this old classic on Steam. I have played it many years ago. So of ocurse this was a must get for me. The storyline is fun, graphics are decent, considered the age of the game. I am happy with it, Oh, and it also works out of the box with Steam Play! This will cause me probably spending several hours in game during the next days.. A pretty decent adventure game for fans of the gnere.
