The Silent Archivist

“The Silent Archivist” is a calm, atmospheric idle game where you take on the role of the caretaker of a small haven for adventurers on the outskirts of a fantasy world.

Your task is not to fight yourself, but to guide others: you recruit new adventurers, send them on expeditions, collect the results of their journeys, and develop the base, gradually turning it into a center of power and knowledge. The game’s interface is simple and convenient, and the sound design—consisting of light effects and music—creates a soft, unobtrusive atmosphere.

At the heart of the narrative is the story of the Silent Archivist, a person who preserves the fates and memories of those who pass through his doors. Each expedition brings not only resources but new fragments of the world: hints about characters’ pasts, environmental details, and hidden events beyond your village. The world is revealed through text descriptions, concise messages, and the unfolding dynamics, making the game rich despite its meditative pace.

The game uses the system voice for speech output, so you need to disable your screen reader after launching it. Important: there are currently no settings for speech rate.

When the game starts, you always appear in a menu with three buttons:

• Center button: language selection.
• Bottom button: disables text-to-speech.
• Top button: starts the game with the built-in narrator enabled.

The gameplay is based on management mechanics. You upgrade rooms, expand the capabilities of the haven, form groups of adventurers for different types of missions, and ensure that each returns with maximum benefit. The idle system allows progress to continue even when you’re away, while strategic preparation determines how successful the expeditions will be.

All of this makes “The Silent Archivist” an appealing option for blind players who enjoy thoughtful, unhurried gameplay.

If you’re looking for a fantasy experience where planning matters more than speed, and the world unfolds through details and observation, this game is a great addition to your library.
