Description



A stranger in an unfamiliar land, you discover a mysterious device that appears to allow you to listen to the spirits of those who once inhabited this place. The device picks up the voice of a man named Lee who claims to be the sole survivor on this planet.



With Lee’s guidance, you are led to follow a trail of clues taking you deep into the physics-defying depths of the planet known as the lungs; a series of desolate sites that appear to mimic familiar forms found on earth.



With the essence of the dead entombed throughout the lungs of the planet, not every encounter is safe. Something is very wrong with this place.



Sylvio: Black Waters is a first-person exploration horror game from the creator of Sylvio and Sylvio 2. A glorious return-to-form with fresh mechanics, this physics defying, and puzzle-filled experience will thrill followers of the series with much to enjoy for brand new fans.

  • Physics bending gameplay on a world of changing gravity
  • Decipher audio based puzzles to hear the voices of the past
  • Decode video recordings to uncover clues
  • Defend yourself from the aggressive dead with air powered weaponry
  • 4-6 hours of gameplay

Good game. If the game is too dark... deal with it. Turn up your brightness, or just follow the lights that literally take you to the end of the game. Still awesome.

I had to restart this game from scratch because of a bug that makes multiple copies of the same phrase in the ghost records thing, but I finished it in the end. The whole "phrase placement" puzzle that's very prominent

I adore Dread XP games so it breaks my heart to give this game a poor review. Dread XP games have a reputation for being good and spooky. Sadly there is not much good here nor is there anything remotely spooky. From the

My first experience with Sylvio: Black Waters wasn't very good. It's a little rough on the edges (ugly interface, not having a loading screen etc) and it's very confusing at first. Had to see a walkthrough to discover

I would honestly recommend playing both Sylvio 1 and 2 before playing this. I went out of the way to buy them before I played S:BW and while the 2nd game is a bit of a hard play I enjoyed my time getting here. That
