Blackwood: Beneath the Silence

ABOUT THIS GAME

Silent Village is a story-driven psychological horror game where one ordinary day turns into a night you’ll never forget.

You're browsing the opening chapter of the Silent Village story.

Silent Village

You play as a teacher who’s just been assigned to a remote village school.
You arrive by car, meet the locals, shake hands with the village headman… and try to settle in like it’s a normal new job.

And for a while, it is.

Morning comes. You go to school. You teach. You return home.
But that night, someone knocks on your door—panicked. A child didn’t come back from school.

So you do what any teacher would do. You go to check.

Only… the school doesn’t look like a school anymore.
It looks wrong—like time has been scraping it away for years.
The corridors feel colder than they should. The silence feels heavier than it should.
And the more you look around, the more you realize something is waiting for you in there.

You came to find a missing child.
But you might end up finding something else… something you weren’t ready to remember.
