The Moment of Silence: Step-by-step Walkthrough

---

This guide will have easy to follow step-by-step points sectioned by the in-game date. I also set it up so you do not need to double back to places or talk too much to be more efficient, though there are times where the game makes you do it anyway.
This is actually a fairly short game especially if you know what to do or use this guide. It just ends up being far longer due to the really slow movement and long dialogues.
I recommend deviating from this guide and go around talking to everyone and examining everything to get the full story and commentary the game is conveying. There is a deeper message in this game so I urge you to explore the world and the dialogue.

Items that can be picked up or found in the inventory are bolded
World interactables are underlined

• Double click to make Peter run
• Right click to examine items and interactables (doesn’t always say anything)
• Left click to use / pick up / interact
• Inventory is at the bottom of the screen
• If you have subtitles turned on in the options it will show up at the top of the screen
• Magnifying Glass means to look closer
• Hand is to pick up / interact
• Press and hold H to see where you can go, people to talk to, and things you can interact or pick up

You will be in a huge room with a parabolic dish
This area is basically a donut and there are a total of 5 parabolic dishes
Take note of the numbers on the wall to know where you are and use the switch panel to change the dish alignment
Use the staircases to move between the 5 parabolic dish

This part is rather complicated and takes a lot from everything that has happened before and Graham’s diary

The platform Peter blew up is the one in the Bermuda Triangle and is responsible for listening in to North America

What you need to do is to completely cut off the computer from receiving any signal / data
Since the platform in the Bermuda Triangle is no longer active there is no signal coming from North America and as noted by Graham you only need to shut off 3 of the 5
So realign all the dishes either away from any continent or toward North America

The parabolic dishes start off aligned as such

These monitors show a specific dish to where they are aligned to

Here is the parabolic dish positions and which monitors show where they are aligned to

Get the dishes to be aligned to the following numbers
If Peter says “that’s as far as it goes” continue to the next dish and come back to it later
Go counter clockwise so you only need to go in 1 rotation 1-3-5-2-4-1-3

Dish 1, 2, and 3 will be aligned to North America now and will cause the computer to suffer a crash

1. Run all the way back to Johnsons body and go through the open evacuation door

---

The game will revert back to before you evacuated so don’t worry if you just want to see the cutscene

Pull the middle lever and press the touch switch to evacuate Peter saving only himself

You will then get to watch New York get obliterated by 3 nukes

---

Before pulling the lever look at the computer on the side with information of the nukes being launched and the coordinates it has locked on
Insert the disk you picked up from Johnson and put it in the disk slot to change the target coordinates

The nukes will divert back to Alaska and obliterate the dome
