In Silence

In Silence is an online horror game where you play as Rake, a monster that hunts by sound, or as a survivor trying to escape or fight back. Survivors can use proximity voice chat to work together, but Rake can hear them too.

Hunt by sound

Rake’s vision depends on sound: the quieter it is, the less Rake can see. Rake can hear even slight noises over long distances and move at high speed. Survivors can give themselves away by walking, stepping on a toy or breaking a vase, but they can also use noise from objects such as TVs and radios to distract Rake, escape an area or set a trap.

Escape or fight

As a survivor, you can repair a car and escape, or open a secret armory to obtain weapons and hunt Rake. Opening the armory or the escape gates enrages Rake, who can then kill survivors while running. Survivors can also use an advanced flashlight to stun Rake with a flashbang effect, though it can blind friends as well. The flashlight needs enough energy to use this effect.

Changing matches

Perks, escape points, roles and item placements are randomized in every match. The game has 16 perks that can give survivors different roles, such as hunter or mechanic.

In Nightmare Mode, the map contains exactly the number of items required. For example, if a car needs three wheels, there are only three wheels on the map. A single-player mode lets you try to defeat Rake alone.

More ways to help

After dying as a survivor, you reappear as a mouse and can still help your friends by finding items for them or distracting Rake.
