Infos zum Spiel

The Cost of Silence is a short first-person experience about the unseen weight of modern suffering.

You will walk through six symbolic rooms, each representing a real-world injustice shaped by the last few years of American and global history. In every room, you uncover a hidden truth — not through spectacle, but through what is left behind.

When a truth is found, it stays with you.

Each room leaves the player marked by a small, symbolic object and sound — a reminder that cannot be dropped, ignored, or undone. As these burdens accumulate, movement becomes heavier. Progress becomes slower. Silence becomes louder.

There are no enemies to defeat.
There are no choices to justify.
There is only the cost of witnessing — and the cost of looking away.
