The Thin Silence brings pixel art and puzzles together to support a mental health charity

The Thin Silence is an adventure game that explores a dark fantasy world. It also delves into the struggles of depression, so indie developer Two PM Studios has pledged to donate 10 cents of every sale to the Australian gaming-based nonprofit CheckPoint. The game will launch in Steam Early Access for PC on April 27, and it will be available on the Steam platform, Itch.io marketplace, and the Humble Bundle store.

Players guide protagonist Ezra Westmark through a personal journey across a landscape that blends the medieval with the modern. In one scene, he’s traversing a torch-lit dungeon, and in another, he sits down at a computer screen. He encounters both environmental puzzles as well as hacking mini-games.
