There's always a bigger fish. That's never been truer here, in this dark world of endless ocean where giant leviathans rule their domains. Inhabiting a diving suit, you're a being of white energy who can possess and leap between smaller creatures of the deep. As big as some of these creatures might be, even the smaller fish can get a few good nibbles in.
We'd liken Silt to most other minimalist 2D puzzle platformers (think Inside, Braid, Gris), except it's hard to call this a platformer. Always underwater, you swim from room to room making it past dangerous sea life and obstacles of an often mechanical nature. This usually means jumping into fishies and using their specific powers to clear a path ahead. Small piranha-like ones can nibble through wires, for instance, while a blockhead shark can bash through stone walls.
