VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “For a fairy tale with an easily-understood lesson, Children of Silentown can often be much ado about nothing. The unique setup and early world-building is an excellent hook to examine a town living in perpetual fear. To its credit, there are some aspects within its visuals, game design, and narrative that earnestly explore that; and yet, the main adventure ultimately feels aimless by the end. Whether from a grander or more focused scale, several gameplay and story elements can serve as a lesson on what to avoid. Subverting its established rules, there are plenty of reasons to be boisterous about Silentown, not all of them positive.”
