Bordeaux, France – January 29, 2024 - Pierre Feuille Studio is today thrilled to announce that the charming, hand-drawn, historical detective adventure Chronique des Silencieux is now available for PC via Steam - priced $24.99, with support for Mac, Linux and additional storefronts set to arrive in the coming weeks. Furthermore, budding sleuths looking to jump on the case right away can pick up the game with a 20% discount at launch.

To coincide with the launch, Pierre Feuille Studio will broadcast the game today as part of The Storyteller’s Festival on Steam at 7pm GMT / 8pm CET.

Set within a cosy and eye-catching recreation of ‘70’s France, Chronique des Silencieux sees players step into the shoes of Eugène Faury, a rookie private eye investigating the peculiar case of Victor Dousvalon - a stubborn old history professor who shrouded his life in secrecy.

Players will need a keen eye and sharp mind to solve this delicate mystery, as they are thrown headfirst into the case; meeting a colourful cast of characters whom they must diligently question in an attempt to sort fact from fiction.

Throughout their investigation, players will experience hands-on, tactile investigative mechanics, rewarding open-ended questioning and challenging, deductive puzzling that combine to deliver a richly compelling narrative experience. Only by following the right leads, digging through secret documents and investigating decades old lies, will the truth finally come to light.

Chronique des Silencieux Features

Anything Goes to Break the Silence! Become engrossed in the handy work of a detective: search through family papers, ask probing questions, call at inopportune times and well, be generally nosy.
Head First Investigation. No more watching characters think for you, this is the time to prove your deductive powers. Choose your leads and follow them to the end or stop when you think you’ve cracked the case. Remember, you'll need to be convincing to push the silent ones to talk!

People’s History. Piece together the lives, the choices and the tragedies of the people you meet, and walk a mile in their shoes. Discover rich histories from street-level where folk continue to live and cope, each in their own unique way.

The game features full support for both English and French languages at launch, with additional languages to be added post-launch.

Chronique des Silencieux is now available on PC via Steam.

Thanks Ana! Is there really no audio or subtitles (as shown on the Steam page)? This seems overpriced to me, sorry!

Yeah, I figured that out Marian, but what about subtitles (unless Steam is wrong)? Well, I guess you can see what is being said during conversations when you watch the trailers so I don't know why it shows no subtitles. I guess I don't know what subtitles are.

Anyway, that price is just too high for me to pay for ANY game these days, but I do factor in various features such as voice acting, pixel art or other art style, and point & click or not, when deciding how much I'm willing to pay or not pay for a game. Maybe that's just me though.
