Silverstone
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Sitting at a population of just under 50 people, the coastal ghost town of Silverstone, Oregon waits for those who have left to return and stumble back into its madness.
Zeke Hames was evacuated from his home of Silverstone in 2002, with no memories of what instigated it and losing contact to those close to him. 15 years later, he is able to reconnect with his friends from the coastal town and the group decides to visit the once bustling city to find some closure. However, Zeke's demons continue to haunt him throughout the winds of Silverstone, and his friends have their own secrets they would like to keep buried as well. Dreams of a non-existent lighthouse flood Zeke's mind, friction starts to build between the group, and something seems wrong with the town itself.
It was a mistake to return. Some things are better left in the past, because the only thing that still lives in Silverstone is the essence of pain and suffering.

Is this 18+ NSFW?
The sprites look so good I mistakenly expected the Burrows/TSR level of quality. Alas, the sprites rarely move, barely have any variations, and cycle through them so rarely you're basically looking at static images most of the time. These days even the one-shots made for a contest in a week at least wiggle the sprites a little.
Also the antagonist's writing - the speech, the behavior, - is exactly the same as the rest of the slasher movie cast of high-schoolers. It kills the tension quite a bit. The rest of it is killed by the fact the scene is played completely straight. He literally tells you he is a supernatural entity haunting your dreams and he looks like one, no ambiguity. Receiving straight answers so soon in a mystery story feels unearned and falls flat.
Oh, and I'd love to hear what you have to say about the elephant in the room - why are you making a 'Not-Echo' VN in the first place? The comparisons were inevitable, but you made it too easy. Unless you're planning to subvert it in a smart way, the label might stick forever.
We'll be updating the sprites in future updates. It was done like this for monetary reasons since sprites are expensive. Sorry to hear you don't like the antagonist's writing. We'll try to improve it in future updates. Silverstone's conception was mostly inspired by Higurashi, Silent Hill, and Uzumaki. I didn't read Echo until a while later. We knew we'd still get Echo comparisons, though, so we've accepted that.

Surprisingly long for a first build. Wonderful cast of characters. Jake is my favorite character right now. ๐ฆ Can't wait to read more.
A group of friends return to a half-abandoned childhood town where weird shit happens. Sounds familiar ๐ค
Good game with a lot of potential. Although this game needs more CGs ๐
Fantastic first build so far!
Cannot wait to see what happens next!
Wow this is really good so far, really cant wait to see this story go on
A really strong start, amazing atmosphere, great characters. I was honestly was surprised at how long and dense the first build was, if you had told me that this was on it's second or third build with the amount of story there is to chew on, I'd believe you.
Definitely need to give this a reread, and definitely got to let others know about it.
I look forward to your future work ๐
A spooky lighthouse, a surprisingly charismatic nightmare, and a cute hyena missing some rather important memories lay the groundwork for a promising horror story. Definitely one to watch, congrats to the team on the first build!
Really good I love it so far I really hope the raccoon is bisexual keep up the good work brick brick and the rest of the team
He's pan! Thanks for the support!
Oooh new Vn i consider to read this.. Hhe
Q:
We change the MC name?
The main character name is changeable, no. I hope you read regardless!
One of the first FVNs of the year! Congrats on the first build!
Thank you so much! I hope you look forward to the future builds! ๐
