Songs of Silence is a strategy game with a single-player fantasy campaign centered on Queen Lorelai and her people seeking a new home. Their journey involves fleeing the Crusade and attempting to bridge the divide between hostile civilizations. The setting is presented in an Art Nouveau-infused style, while side quests, quirky characters and hidden treasures add discoveries to the campaign’s central story.
The campaign includes eight maps and three difficulty settings, from a casual story mode to higher tiers with exclusive quests and achievements. Battles draw on units, artifacts and skills, and locations across varied biomes can provide strategic benefits such as resources, healing or vision through fog. The game also describes standalone maps as open-ended experiences, with new characters and plots as well as heroes and units specific to those maps.
Beyond the story, players can choose free-for-all or cooperative battles, adjust map size and setup, and use Fates to change battle rules. Its varied battle options sit alongside, rather than replacing, the campaign’s narrative focus.
