Description

This is minimalistic horror platformer about surviving in snowy mountains. Follow the voice from the radio, fight your fears and reveal the truth!

History

We have started this game at one of the game jams. The jam's theme was "White Silence". The first release of this project was titled "And Then There Were None". It was just a simple platformer with 5 chapters. There were no bosses and just 3 endings.

Few years later we've got a chance to release the game on Steam. But there was a free version of this game already! We had to improve the game to bring to the players a new experience. We decided to add bosses, new locations and a whole new chapter. All of this was oriented to reveal all the storyline of the game to the players.

Also we had a problem with game title, because "And Then There Were None" also is the title of two books by Eric Frank Russell and Agatha Christie. So we've renamed the game to "Cold Silence".

Features

Classic platforming - just run and jump, crush obstacles and fight bosses, try not to die!
Feeling of horror - horror without darkness, it's creepy because of the situation itself
3-colour pixelart environment - only 3 colors convey the sense of despair with lovely drawn pixels.
Different ways - every run can have one of many unique endings. Some of them help to progress the game.
5 game modes - for different gamers' skill. From easy (if you're newbie) to asian-mode (if you're used to playing without checkpoints and with instant-death)
Outstanding soundtrack - we carefuly filled the game with classic-themed soundtracks by mixing chiptune with piano and violin.
