Silent Waters

No blood or violence. It's a horror game, though! Best played alone on a quiet night. Yet... is there really no way to help that poor monster?

    *This issue has been successfully resolved in the Sep 15 update. Dear Players, Thank you for playing 'Silent Waters'. We have identified a temporary gameplay issue regarding the monster's behavior: 【Bug Details】If the monster spots the player during its teleportation animation (sinking into or emerging from the floor with light ripples), it will initiate pursuit while remaining permanently submerged and invisible (stealth mode). Our team is currently working on an urgent hotfix to resolve this as well as some font compatibility issues for other languages. Your English gameplay will remain perfectly safe, and a minor update patch will be deployed shortly. We appreciate your kind understanding and patience while we improve the game quality.

Silent Waters Arrives on Steam With a 25% Launch Discount

Silent Waters, the horror title from indie studio CogiMachine, is now available on Steam following its August 25, 2026 release.

The game was built by a team of three, and the developers describe it as a horror experience designed to be accessible to players who typically avoid gore or graphic violence. The stated thematic intention is the feeling of "escaping from the absurd" — a phrase the team draws explicitly from real life.

What changed

  • Silent Waters has launched on Steam (AppID 4027610)
  • A 25% launch discount is available for a limited time
  • The developers are actively soliciting reviews and community discussion via the Steam Community Hub

For players who have been curious about the game but wary of visceral horror, the launch discount offers a modest window to try it at a lower price point.
