Geek to Geek Media was provided with a review copy of this title.
In 2018, Silenced: The House was developed and released by Graven Visual Novels for Steam in North America. The Russian visual novel focused on delivering a succinct horror experience at an affordable price. Four years later, publisher Sometimes You has brought the game to modern consoles with some subtle enhancements.

Silenced: The House is a difficult game to review. On one hand, the game offers an atmospheric, blood-drenched horror experience. On the other, the poor translation and an abundance of grammatical errors make the story difficult to follow. Ultimately, the issues with the writing just barely outweigh the strengths (this is a visual novel, after all). There’s definitely an audience for this style of game – especially given the budget price – but numerous caveats might kill most recommendations.
