Indie sci-fi Humanity’s Silence making noise on Indiegogo
Berlin-based indie developer Sebastian Till is looking to leave his mark on old-school point-and-click adventures with his crowdfunding campaign for the upcoming Humanity’s Silence.
Billed as a “minimalistic” adventure, the game tells the story of the crew of a spaceship which has just crash-landed on an unfamiliar planet. By interacting with the crew members and making choices guided by dialogue, it is up to the player to survive in the alien environment and discover what led to the crash.
Inspired by fellow minimalist adventure Gods Will Be Watching, Humanity’s Silence features a single scrolling screen comprising the sole location in which the entire narrative plays out. A playable demo available through the game’s Indiegogo page offers a glimpse at how dialogue works within the context of gameplay; clicking a crew member on-screen brings up a large character cut-out, along with any dialog choices currently available for that character.
Till isn’t giving away much about the game’s plot at the moment; similarly, no solid release date has been announced. At the moment, the game is being developed exclusively for PCs, with possible ports to Linux and Mac included as stretch goals. Supporters of the crowdfunding campaign can pick up a DRM-free copy for as little as €1, though retail versions are set to run for €5 upon release.
