The Town Silverload

Once a prosperous boom town, it hasn't produced any silver in years. the town's decline started with a disastrous earthquake, and a strangely persistent drought that turned the land into a desert. Some talked about an indian curse that said the silver mine was built on land sacred to the skaedi tribe. The tribe opposed the mine and were massacred as a result. Now the town has a bad reputation, and few go there except by chance. Those that do, never stay longer than they have to. Those who have tried, were never seen again.

Gameplay

The silverload interface is cursor icon driven and is simple to use. Movement of the cursor icon is via the joypad or mouse. The cursor icon actions can be changed to carry out an action with the relevant icon.
The boot icon is for walking
The eyeball icon is for looking.
The gears icon is use to operate objects
The hand icon is used to pick up objects



 Progress in silverload involves finding and interacting with various "hot spots" in order to pick up objects, solve puzzles and interact with (or kill) the various characters in the town. Picking up certain objects will cause the game's (and town's) clock to move forward, and thus, the trick to success is to pick up the right items in the precise order. at certain points in the game, the player will be required to take part in a gun fight. these sections of the game take place in a 3D environment depicting the current location. the computer controls the players path as he moves through the scenery.

  1. I was just trying to find a good video of this game and your videos are spot-on. This game was great. Simultaneously awful and great. I really liked the atmosphere of it. It was pretty spooky and stark probably because it was so simple.

  2. Discovered your blog through your youtube vids for this game. Silverload is one of my all-time favorite games. Totally underrated and in many ways predates Silent Hill.
