Children of Silentown is boring and uninteresting with excruciating puzzles, especially the cogwheel ones which makes no sense. I thought the game was cute at first but I started losing interest in chapter 2 already. The puzzles pop up all the time and add nothing of value to the game. They're just in the way and kills your motivation more and more the further you get. Even after completing the game after 20+ cogwheel puzzles, I still can't see any connection with cogwheels and sewing with the story.

All characters express themselves in the same way and there's no creativity behind the dialogue, it's just words and sentences. And Lucy's songs get on your nerves. There's also only one song that play in repeat which get old really fast.

Children of Silentown is a tedious and highly overrated point 'n click game that tries to be deep. The ending is so rushed. All that "build up" for pretty much nothing. I guess I got the good ending, but I don't know.
