How to play When Silence Fell on Mac

Game summary

400 years ago the Thirty Years’ War plunged Europe into chaos. Today, When Silence Fell will resurrect its shadows before your eyes. Follow Sophia into the 17th century, as her diary opens up a window through time and space. War is consuming the German Lands with an endless, voracious appetite, tearing the lives of thousands apart. Accompany her in a compelling narrative of more than 110,000 words and witness how she manoeuvres through the years of turmoil. Face tough decisions, guide her along the way and become her trusted friend. But whatever you do, choose wisely. Sophia's struggle for life and freedom can lead her onto substantially different paths and whenever you reach a crossroad you can check the game's integrated wiki to learn about what might lie ahead. The decisions you make in this first of three episodes will have an irrevocable impact on the young woman and her fellows. It will be your shared journey - and Sophia's fate lies within your hands.
