Evaluation
King of Silence - Prologue is a free, short horror experience (approximately 20-30 minutes) that was originally developed two years prior as a publisher prototype. On May 20, 2025, just before the game's release, the studio posted a farewell message explaining that the game had been shelved and that, with the studio about to close, they decided to release it in its prototype state. The post explicitly signs off as "The former Onze 8 Degrés team," making clear this was a final act from a closing studio. The only post-release activity was a minor bug fix on June 2, 2025 addressing achievement tracking. No further content, updates, or communications have followed. The game launched as a complete, self-contained product with no future content planned or possible, given the studio's closure.
Evidence
The studio announced the game's release while simultaneously disclosing that the studio is closing. The post explains the game was a shelved prototype being released as-is, and is signed off by 'The former Onze 8 Degrés team,' indicating no further development will occur.
A small bug fix patch resolved issues with achievement tracking. This was the last communication from the team.

About this game
Every noise has a consequence you don't want to know about. Hold your breath and immerse yourself in King Of Silence, a horrific experience where the strange, the paranoïa and the frightening are combined.
Story
It was the last Sunday of the summer vacations, and my friends and I had spent the whole day at the beach. As usual, on the way home, we passed this building, which looks like an old religious temple. Everyone thinks it's haunted, so we never venture too close. Deep down, I know there's something wrong with this place. Many people in the village say that something or someone has been living there for centuries, and doesn't like the noise.
Play as a child locked up in this old abandoned building where lives the King of Silence, a demon that hates noises. Don't panic, stay calm and above all, do not make any noises, because the more you'll do it, the more the King will free himself.
Gameplay
In King of Silence, the only tool you have is your flashlight. To get through the game you will have to explore, light up and interact with your environment while avoiding making noise.
You also have a sanity system, which may or may not decrease depending on how you behave in a situation. This sanity will change your experience and its conclusion. Be careful.
Key Features
Environment
The game takes place in an old religious temple that has been abandoned. No one knows what could have happened here or what religion was practised here. Walk through this place, explore it, and you may learn a little more about its origin and the entity that occupies it.
