SILENT BREATH sure looks impressive, but it’s hard to take in the beautiful scenery once the forest falls into darkness and the monsters come out to play.

A mix of Don’t Scream and Slenderman with SCP-style monsters, SILENT BREATH is the ultimate challenge for the faint of heart. If you want to become immune to jumpscare, this is the game for you. Here are all the monsters in SILENT BREATH and how to deal with them.

As SILENT BREATH does everything in its power to make you scream, so it is unsurprising how many monsters only intend to scare rather than kill you. Only a small handful of monsters can cause a game over, resetting your run to find all five missing persons before sunrise. But if you’re attempting a world record or want a head start before jumping into a game filled with jumpscares, it is best to know what monsters are capable of killing you in SILENT BREATH.

Remember, SILENT BREATH aims to get you to scream. So, do your best not to panic as the jumpscares flood in. Be mindful that static and your flashlight turning off and on often indicates that a monster has despawned.

We found 27 monsters in our playthrough. There are likely many more to discover, but for now, here are all the monsters we’ve found in SILENT BREATH.
