i just finished playing it and i was right to wait for this, lemme give u a complete rundown of the good and the bad:
good: the map and puzzles are well designed, the mobs are quite detailed and designed very well and the map is very long even at this stage

bad: it may be fun and thrilling, but its not that long compared to other titles like the sculk labs which usually have very long gameplay loops, mob encounters are very infrequent, only appearing in specific designated areas such as the crawler sequence, there is a big lack of detail in big rooms nd maybe custom blocks could help fill up the space and finally i think theres too few puzzles and unique areas in the map.

overall tho the silent depths is very good and it is actually more scary than i expected it to be especially with emissive textures. ill give it a 10/10 even tho there are a lot of bad things, this map still just blows past most of the newer horror maps on pmc

Hello, i'm Desolate932 or just Desolate, and I was one of the lucky few to playtest TGG:SILENCE's first early access release. In fact, you can see my review in the playtester reviews image of the map. Im writing this to let people know what I felt about my experience working as a playtester with offthebook and my general experiences with tgg silence.

On the topic of working with otb, It was really straightforward and easy to work as a playtester in otb because everybody is just kind and non judgmental while with other studios ive playtested for, its always "do not say this do not say that." I feel like otb is just really honest because they allowed me to share my own unbiased opinions without any changes being made by the "higher-ups." the ceo projektrhythm is also really nice and kind, speaks in a good tone and is really funny

moreover on my experiences with tgg silence, the map was amazing, in fact one of the best i've ever playtested in my opinion. I think they have massive potential with tgg silence and may have hit a gold mine with the amount of views and downloads this will likely have in its full release. to me, tgg in general has a ton of potential and silence has a lot more and will probably bring this small horror franchise into the pmc mainstream for bedrock horror, maybe cementing itself beside the legendary Sculk labs (whose creator i see in this comment section :o) in the pmc spotlight. the areas in the map are well made and well thought out, the items and various functions such as the flashlight and the locker hiding features are really well made and the commands are quite sophisticated.
Even considering all its flaws, i think tgg silence is fit for the mainstream.

tldr; it was amazing to work with otb and try out tgg silence.
(thx for reading if u actually read all of it :])

I just finished playing the Early Access and OH WOW you guys have improved!

I like how you incorporated Sculk so well into the Map and even thoguh there were some parts that I didn't understand such as the Valves section or the Mutated Warden (Which kinda looks like the Sculk Amalgam...).

But overall,the Map was great,especially compared to Facility X!

Good job OffTheBook! :D

This looks too good. I am gonna be waiting for this, it better be good OTB!

This looks amazing. Can't wait to see what it becomes!!!!
