Children of Silentown is a beautifully drawn point-and-click RPG with a clear nod to Tim Burton. While cute and often funny, there are sinister melancholic undertones throughout as you take Lucy on an epic voyage of discovery. Chapter five is the final part of her story, as she heads out to explore the forest and try to find her mother. But it also has some of the trickiest challenges in the game.
