The Silence Minigame

[Amba2Cam]

Hi I'm having a bit of a problem understanding this mini game and I keep dying every time a second silence appears in Episode 2 and I'm using a controller.

There are two circles: the hollow one that you don't control, and the white one that you control with your gamepad triggers. By adjusting the pressure you put with your fingers on the triggers you control how big the white circle gets. You only need to keep matching the white circle with the hollow one that moves on its own.

it definitely harder than the other two minigames, but it is certainly doable.

Had to use mouse but now I get it, Thanks <3

I also had trouble understanding how that mini-game works. I think the tutorial is quite unclear in its wording...
Doesn't help that the hollow circle is barely visible at times.

Hi everyone!

We are considering a visibility improvement to make the Silence minigame clearer. We'll keep you guys updated.

Thank you all for your feedback!

I'm not able to complete without death due to "silence" . Please don't forget in
your improvement players who not use joystick .

Are the tutorials for controllers vastly different from M/KB or something? I understood what to do perfectly fine... I've not had any trouble with any mini-game so far. I'm only on EP. 2 though.

You just have to keep the solid white circle at/near the border of the fluctuating hollow circle.

You clearly haven't updated anything, it's still a piece of hot garbage..

Everyone complains about this minigame, and at first I figured it must have been fixed, because I did it twice no problem. The third time I did it the exact same and for no reason it just kept getting worse and I lost. Yeah, it's garbage, especially in a game with permadeath.

Fun fact: On lovecraft difficulty, silence minigame becomes the easiest one.

It's literally impossible.

Dear Dev,
On PC, with mouse: it sometimes works perfectly, but other times it doesn't work. I believe there's a problem with the mouse losing focus on the window. Even though I'm playing fullscreen, once, while going thru it, trying to slowly move the mouse up or down (clearly very much within the frame), the white circle was automatically jumping out of the frame, making it blink (hence the character coughing). Somehow I accidentally passed the minigame, and right after I realized the mouse was not moving the character's face & lamp, and I could see the cursor blinking on the extremes of the screen (like when you do Alt-Tab to go away and come back, but the mouse stays focused on the desktop or another window). The only way to reactivate the mouse was left clicking and moving. Finally I middle clicked, and that seems to return full focus.
So on that mini game, probably mouse focus is lost when the tutorial screen is presented, and many times it won't come back. Maybe you could force a focus back, right after.

I really hope you read my comment and this works, as the game is fantastic, but it's a pity that this issue really blocks the progress of many of us (I died about 5 times so far because of that).
I'll try to test further (left-clicking / middle-clicking right after the tutorial screen and see how it goes!)

I would just like to add on controller this is still a very big problem. It's so hard to see the white circle over the white picture and it isn't something I'm able to intuit.
