Silence to the Eyes

This game is currently in development. Download is a free, short demo taking place before the main plot.

The second in the People Worry series, Silence to the Eyes is a spooky mystery visual novel. 

Play as Schuyler, a young self-proclaimed paranormal investigator. While visiting your grandfather in the little coastal town of Ginnis Beach, you discover that the residents of the town are held under the tyranny of a deadly curse. A monstrous gaze follows you as you learn more about this place and its inhabitants. Can you get to the heart of the curse before it claims another victim? Before it claims you? 

Explore Ginnis Beach and converse with the locals from day to day, collecting items and evidence that will help you when it's time to verbally spar with the most reticent and distrustful of them. As you do, you can progress not only the main story, but three out of six optional side quests alongside it. Collect money and choose wisely how to spend it. If you get stuck, you can seek guidance from Schuyler's friends in a mobile chatroom.

This game will feature:

• Original artwork
• Original soundtrack
• Casual puzzle gameplay
• 9 different endings 
• Randomized side stories for more unique playthroughs
• Voice acting (just a little)

Unfortunately, it will also feature:

• Potentially upsetting scenes or sounds
• Themes of ostracization and low self-esteem
• Swearing (usually mild)
