So I played this game over the course of a few days. I really enjoyed it! Chronique des Silencieux has a really good flow of events. Talk to a bunch of people and look for clues, review your information, make deductions and finally confront the guilty party with your knowledge and catch them in their lies and contradictions. The music and the likable characters made this game a joy to play through.

I actually almost didn't finish this game due to a glitch at the finale of the game, however the game dev responded to my inquiry extremely quickly and managed to fix my save so I could complete my run. It was a great experience that, if you like puzzling together a complete picture from lots of small, interconnected pieces of information I highly recommend checking out this game!

I played this game primarily in French, so I cannot comment extensively on localization issues. Occasionally, I referred to the English translation to make sure I had understood the text correctly, and I found it reasonable.

Overall, I enjoyed Chronique des Silencieux, and I liked the detective work and the puzzles. It is not a particularly easy game, but I was able to complete most of my leads without any hints. The exploration is also fairly open-ended. The game reminds me of Lamplight City, except it is not possible to actually come to a completely incorrect conclusion.

The game is stymied by many bugs, the most egregious of which is faulty game logic and assumptions about player progression. (In the Prologue, my leads page contained information that I had not actually found yet. Later, in Chapter 2, Eugène reveals some details in his meet-up with Yves that I suspect I was not supposed to know yet, although I did already have some inklings of what he discussed.) However, the developer has been extremely responsive to bug reports, which I appreciate.
