Not even when security arrives and finds him standing over the dead body, leaving him to try explaining all this to the police.

Dead guys, time machines, only you can save mankind? It's a lot to cope with. Now, most people would be freaking out right around this point.

Could Joe take the man’s handy-dandy pocket time machine and go visit his “present” (future)-day self to explain things? leading to an old guy who takes a break from dying just long enough to tell Joe that he's come back in time to save the future, but got shot before he could complete his mission. (Just think of all the extra responsibility! Of course, they can't spare him any more money or give him a fancy title, but they're sure he knows how it is.) Down in the lab, everything's spick-and-span. Until, that is, the janitor who does the top secret labs downstairs goes missing and they ask him to take over that job as well. Life's good when you just keep your head down and don't question anything. They even gave him an award for it that he proudly displays on his wall. Archon needed him to help them out, you see, and he obliged because that's just the kind of guy he is. Not that anything's very mysterious in Joe's life, as he stolidly goes about his business, unfazed even by the drums of almost certainly toxic chemicals that are stored in his 'office' (supply closet to you and me). It's 1972, and Joe's a Vietnam vet who's now working as a janitor for the mysterious Archon National Defense Services.

Can the sequel live up to the early promise and send the series out with a bang? The answer, for the most part, is yes – episode two may be more of the same, but that's no bad thing. After ending last year's impressive free first episode on a cliffhanger, Danish developer House on Fire is back with the second (and concluding) commercial installment of The Silent Age, available now for iOS and Android. And a janitor named Joe who's quietly getting on with trying to save the world, cleaning up the biggest mess of his career. Time of free love, bandanas, mustaches and bell-bottoms.

This review is based on the original iOS release.Īh, the 1970s.
