    I downloaded the game about an hour ago from the UK Store. After I read your message I checked and the same message is showing. Hopefully it's a temporary thing.

    Yeah, that sucks. I've contacted them on Facebook, I'll let you know if/when they respond.

    This game is great, and I don't even like games like this. The story in the description interested me enough to try it. Usually with "point and click" games I get completely befuddled, and that hasn't happened yet with this game.

    I made it up to chapter 5 last night, then had weird dreams about this game. The shifting time aspect of the game really got me hooked.

    I can't wait to see where this story is going :)

    I don't mind paying for something good... just as long as it's not through IAP.

    Hadn't seen this thread or heard about the game release, but I'm happy to get it now. Sounds like I'll enjoy this. :)

    It's definitely a great game. I'm about an hour in and it's got that nostalgic feeling of old-school point and click adventure games with a fresh story. I like it.

    Hi all,

    I'm Thomas Ryder. I made the game design, the graphics and the music for the game. We're really happy about the massive positive response to the game. Our goal was to make an easy-to-play point-and-click adventure with a lot of focus on story and atmosphere. I tried to make the puzzles simple and logic and I also limited the number of accessible rooms and items in order to secure a fast-paced game flow. I'm glad to see that it works!

    Episode One is free to play and we don't have in-app purchasing in the game. We will however appreciate a donation for the production of Episode Two. If you liked Episode One, please consider visiting our donation page: http://thesilentage.com/blog/episode-two/

    But most importantly - thanks for playing the game and thanks for the great feedback!

    Excellent job on the game Thomas :) I'm looking forward to any future chapters/episodes of this game.

    I really appreciate the general design of the game. It's nice not having to run across the map, only to discover something didn't work. With 3 or 4 rooms available at a time it effectively funnels your character (this is a good thing).

    Great back story as well. Can't wait to see where it's going :)
