Starting your first run
Step
Dead Silence supports one to four players, so your first choice is whether to go in alone or bring friends. Either way, the story you are investigating — the legend of Mary S. — is the same.
- Choose your mode decide before launching whether you want solo or co-op, since the session is built around that choice.
- Form a party if you are playing with friends, create a party and send invites before starting so everyone loads in together.
- Start the investigation once the session begins, you and your group are dropped into the mystery and the story starts moving immediately.
Keeping co-op working in your favour
TipsUp to four players can take on the investigation at once, and the group does better when no one wanders off alone. Use voice or text chat throughout the session.
- Move as a group rather than splitting up — a lone player misses support when things go wrong.
- Call out clues the moment you spot them so the whole team knows where to look next.
- If one player is in trouble, the others should move toward them rather than pressing on solo.
- When a puzzle has you stuck, think through it together rather than having one person guess repeatedly.
Handling the horror
Warn
The game bills itself as the scariest on Roblox, and the scares arrive without warning.
Pushing the story forward
CheckMary S.'s legend is revealed gradually as you collect clues and complete events. If the story stops moving, work through this checklist before anything else.
- New areas check whether a previously blocked door or path has opened since you last tried it.
- Event completion confirm that everything that was supposed to happen in the current scene has actually triggered.
- NPC and object check look for anything you can interact with that you have not tried yet.
- Party sync in co-op, make sure every player is connected and at the same point in the investigation.
What the game costs
SummaryDead Silence does not put its story content behind a paywall. Every part of the investigation is open to everyone.
