Excellent adventure game.

I played this game years ago. Still have the original box. Very good game, good puzzles and interesting storyline. Definitely a game that left a mark on me.

Great point & click game

Played on 2004. Good story, imo ranked at Total Recall movie for me. Not so long, but very engaging.

Generic, Awkward, and Awful

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 began 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.
