SILK - A Leo Parker Adventure

The game’s puzzles and atmosphere are well-designed, but the story follows a tired and somewhat arrogant trope: a Western scholar unravels an Eastern mystery, while the local figures are either obstacles or doomed by their own greed. The whole “foreign hero deciphering an ancient Eastern secret” setup feels outdated and condescending. While the game doesn’t aim for historical accuracy, this kind of storytelling still leaves an uncomfortable aftertaste. If you’re just here for the puzzles, it’s e

I haven’t finished the game yet, but I have spent multiple hours playing it at this point. I think it’s the best puzzle game I’ve found for iOS. It’s atmospheric, stylish, and mysterious, but not creepy or dark, which I love. It feels like a movie from the forties. The writing is excellent, which is often neglected in these kinds of games. I like that you can make a single puzzle easier, instead of changing the difficulty of the whole game. Would definitely recommend!

Great puzzles! Plus an interesting story. This is a great game, great atmosphere. I really am enjoying it. I had to opt for only one of the puzzles to take the easy solution. However I tripped over a bug in the game and got stuck in one of the first rooms. I wrote a note to the developers, they responded right away. They'd never heard of the bug I found but sent a fixed version as soon as Apple approved the fix. This is the fastest fix I've ever gotten on a program!

For $1.99 this might be my best game purchase EVER!!! I usually don’t care to review stuff but the music and ambiance mixed with the really challenging puzzles made it super fun and 100% worth it. The lore in Chinese and the specific Chinese puzzles (like rearranging the pictures) are wonderful and reminded me of the puzzles I’ve seen on my trip to China as a kid
