Games Like Starlight and the Silver Key

Starlight and the Silver Key is a strange puzzle game about saving the world after your own world falls apart. Solve puzzles. Whisper passwords into ears. Make something called a Greasy Joe and become best buds with a demon.

Narrative-Driven Experience

Starlight and the Silver Key is a game about getting stuck—on puzzles AND feelings—and getting through it. Uncover a sinister plot as you confront a supernatural foe and your own grief.

Blocks, Locks, and Switches

Puzzles blend retro mechanics with a modern twist inspired by escape rooms. To solve these puzzles, you’ll have to figure out what the clues mean and when you can use them.

Also, There are Bad Guys

Match wits with Yog-Sothoth and a cast of characters that only slightly resemble Lovecraftian horrors.

Tunes

Original soundtrack features a sing-along experience where a lizard person named Ed teaches you how to make coffee.

About the Developer

Before the pandemic hit, I spent most of my time building and running escape rooms. When businesses were shuttered in 2020, Starlight and the Silver Key provided me with a creative outlet to continue building puzzles and telling stories. Outside of the music, I take responsibility for the dad jokes and the rest of the game's development.
