Digital Jesters Product information

New York, 2044 The states of the earth are united under a world government. Communications designer Peter Wright doesn't give a heck about politics and politicians, about scandals and. In fact, since Peter's wife and his seven year old son died in an air catastrophe, he doesn't care about anything anymore. He hates his job, spends his nights drinking whisky, and only looks for human company in the anonymity of computer chat rooms. His life changes abruptly one night when a black van stops in front of his house and a heavily armed SWAT team bursts into the apartment of his neighbour.

The Moment of Silence is a classic point and click adventure set in the near future where technological dependence has left the world in the hands of a few powerful men. The story plays out in beautifully rendered locations around the world, punctuated by some of the most gloriously animated videos ever seen.
