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.
All monsters in SILENT BREATH and how to beat 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.

| Big Sister | Tall body with long limbs and giant black eyes. Face opens out to a giant set of teeth during its game over jumpscare. | Yes | Look at it at all times and walk backwards. Listen out for its whispers and crying for when it is nearby. Works like SCP-173 (SCP Containment Breach) and Coil-Head (Lethal Company). |

| Baby | The baby is often found crying on the ground and jumps onto you if you get too close. | No | Acts purely as a jumpscare. Either brace for it or try to avoid approaching the baby. |
| Giant baby | A giant version of the baby, with piercing red eyes. | No | Simply look at the baby so it disappears. |
| Giant man | Tall man with cuts all over his body. | No | Forces you to stare at him, but quickly vanishes after a brief period of time. |
