Siltis a premiumpuzzlegame developed by Spiral Circus Games for PC. It is anadventuretitle wherein players will be diving deep into theocean's abyssto explore its wonders and hidden mysteries. They will also need to be aware of the dangers and creatures lying within.

Similar toABZUorSubnautica, Silt lets players experience anunderwater adventurefilled with all manner of aquatic creatures and depths to be explored. It features a moreserious tone and presentationthat is rather atmospheric, even horrifying at times, with its black and white design aesthetic.

Into the depths of darkness

Mostaquatic-themed gamesfocus on exploration and letting you experience the many wonders of the ocean and its wildlife in an almost cathartic way. You are free toroam and interactwith anything that you see. Silt is a release that is the complete opposite of this notion, and will instead have you dive into thedark depthsof the sea, with all the perils that come with it.

In this game, you will be diving deep into the ocean's dark abyss in search oflong-lost mysteriesthat have been forgotten with the passage of time. Encounteralien creatures, both big and small, that have evolved in strange and surprising ways to survive their extreme habitat. Everything was designed with a monochromatic theme, which adds to the eerie and atmospheric presentation that ishauntingly beautifulat the same time.

What's more, there is an element of the supernatural in that you canpossess creaturesto help you overcome variouschallenges and puzzlesthroughout your journey. The gameplay is rathershort and underwhelming, though. You will be able to finish it in a few hours, and the puzzles and challenges themselves are simplistic and uninspiring—a shame considering how well-executed its visual design turned out.

Shallow waters

Silt is an intriguing underwater adventure game that'smore serious in tone. Its design and art style complements the theme it's going for very well. However, the gameplay itself is ironically shallow and doesn't quite match its visual on the same level. Still, it's a game that is worth giving a try if you're looking for something different in this genre of games.
