The Silent History

The Silent History is not your traditional app to help with a task, but rather a storytelling and content delivery system.

The app follows a story set in 2044, where doctors begin to notice children being born with a silent condition, which leaves them unable to speak or comprehend anything.

The app delivers story bits through updates, called Testimonials, which make up 120 parts divided up into six volumes. Each day it adds a new glimpse from a character touched by the condition.

It’s a unique and interesting way to tell a story, and a smart way to embrace the GPS, mobility and portability of mobile devices.
