Streets ahead of the new AR craze
The atmospheric text and characterisation are Silent Streets' strongest suits, though the branching narrative and investigation mechanics thinly disguise a linear plot.

Walking ‘Silent Streets’ makes for a sinister but short adventure
I enjoyed my sojourn through the darker corners of Victorian Britain and will probably go back there soon. Silent Streets captured the dark, Holmesian vibe that makes those stories so engaging. If the following chapters are as engaging as the first, I'm sure the game will do well, and I'll continue to get more of that much-needed fresh air and exercise.
