Silence can hide the most terrible truths.

<span class="bold">The Moment of Silence</span>, a point-and-click conspiracy thriller, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with a 75% launch discount. If you are using Windows 10, please make sure that your version is up to date (1511 build 10586).

It is said that ignorance is bliss but the truth will set you free. Peter Wright is an advertiser for the government's "Freedom of Speech" campaign, a patriot, a law-abiding citizen. But when his neighbor is violently taken from his home by a SWAT team, Peter begins to suspect that even he doesn't know the whole story, that he may have been unwittingly spreading government propaganda. Curious of the circumstances surrounding the man's sudden disappearance, Peter sets off on a rogue investigation that leads him straight into an intricate web of lies, corruption, and dangerous secrets that originate from high up. Very high up.

Join him as he struggles to break The Moment of Silence that engulfs the futuristic, Orwellian society of 2044 New York: gathering intelligence, collecting items and solving brain-twisting puzzles. But before he can manage to piece together the horrible truths kept hidden from the public, he must travel between dozens of diverse, beautifully-rendered locations scattered around the world, where danger awaits at every corner.

Unveil world-shattering secrets and pierce through <span class="bold">The Moment of Silence</span>, now DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last for 5 days until December 6, 3:59 PM GMT.

IAmSinistar: An easy buy at this price, as I like a good story game and an Orwellian setting.

It's funny how homogenous each generation's view of the future is. Our is always gritty, depressing, garish, and soulless, with urban decay, indifferent technology, and neon-clad prostitutes. The previous generation's was all clean-cut white people living in shiny Googie architecture cities with personal jetpacks and robot servants. And before that it was plutocratic robber barons with personal airships and skyscraper redoubts lording over the Satanic mills of an endless industrial landscape. Predictions of the future are always the present writ large.
So, in a timeline is: Beneath a Steel Sky, Fallout (before the "nuclear rain") and Moment of Silence plus many others that I don remember now (recently we got Technobabylon)

amund: graphics looks a bit old but might buy it anyway :)
Judging from the screen shots it's good enough. I think I like the graphics.

Lafazar: A decent adventure game which is almost ruined by the inability to run through the large environments. This makes especially the last puzzle an unbearable chore instead of the really clever brainteaser it could have been. I liked it in the end, but I don't think I want to play through it ever again...
But this comment lets me wait for more reviews. My backlog of adventure games is long enough to not urgently have to buy another one. ;)

budejovice: I really hope the dude that has complained incessantly about GOG only selling strategies and RPGs shows up here. Or, you know, in any of the other action, adventure, racing, or sim release threads...
How would you feel seeing a long release stream of games in overcrowded genres you don't care for, with the knowledge that something of extremely high quality, that you really wanted, in a genre that's painfully underrepresented, was rejected?

Or in terms of other works, the movie Metropolis, the book The Shape of Things to Come, and the novel Neuromancer.

You could look at these also as the settings for steampunk, tubepunk, and cyberpunk, respectively.

The irony of that is that when I first started posting here everyone used to complain that GoG hated strategy / RTS games and never released any... XD

Moral of the story, people will always find something to complain about.

It was a long wait!
I own the DVD version, but the disc is faulty. At last I can finish this game.

Thanks GOG and Nordic.

gamesfreak64: omg that avatar/icon you have thats the old Vectrex if i am correct? i dont need google images to find out what that is :D i alsways wanted to get my hands on it, when i was a kid, lateron when i saw it in action i saw it was quite flashy, so its a good thing i never got to buy any when i was a kid (> 11)
It was also quite expensive compared to an atari 2600.

i alos have loads of games that still need to be played, 90% isnt even installed (lack of disk space)
so i still have loads of games to play including retail games on cd /dvd i bought and still need to play, its more collecting now then playing them.
I'm really not sure where the picture I cropped came from, but the Asteroid arcade machine did use vector graphics like the Vectrex console.

I don't think it's me either. I did mention in one reply about the amount of P&C adventures in GOG that statistically there are more strategy games. But never complained about it.

JudasIscariot: We need more dudes who complain about dudes who complain about X genre being underrepresented :P
I complain about people complaining about games being released. Is that good enough?

The proper moral of the story should be: GOG needs to release more games!

Not bad for fans of the genre, it seems. Still wish we could get some more semi-classic games from AAA publishers. (Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary keep coming to my mind, as they're single-player and shouldn't have too many tech problems.)

I think we all feel that from time to time. I got my P&C adventure now, so I'll stop complaining for a few days.

The ones that recently caused more uprising were Dex and Thea. But many more worthwhile games -IMHO- were rejected.
I'm worried about EITR, the new game from Devolver Digital, because GOG missed their last 3 releases (broforce, downwell and noct).

PS: Slain! was due for release next week, but I see in metacritic now that it was pushed to the end of January.
PS2: I confused Slain! with EITR, which is the DD game. Slain! looks good, though.

Yay! I remember considering buying this in store and I never did. Great to see it appear here. I love a good adventure game.
